FBI Agent Susan Darcy: Did it change you, Patrick? Hunting a monster?
Jane: Of course. Be well, Susan.
Lisbon: It has changed you, you know.
Jane: Darcy's off the case, Lisbon. She's safe.
Lisbon: And what about you? How's Red John going to feel when he finds out you spoiled his fun with Agent Darcy?

Felicia Scott: I hope that she finds happiness. Because happiness is so hard to find. Once you find it, you've gotta hang on tight, or you will lose it.
Jane: That's true.

Francine Trent: Are you the CBI agents?
Jane: Yes. She does the detecting and I do the insulting.
Lisbon: Consulting.
Jane: That too.

Frank: [about Jane] Who is this guy?
Lisbon: He's a pain in the ass, but he's making sense.

Giselle Dublin: [under tears] Why am I being punished? I'm a good person.
Cho: Yes, Ma'am.
Giselle Dublin: Stop calling me Ma'am. I'm not your grandmother. How old do you think I am anyway?
Cho: [shrugs] 48, 49.
Giselle Dublin starts sobbing and crying all over again.

Grace: [about Mr. Wolcutt] He's also the type that would hire other people to do his dirty work.
Cho: Yes, he is. Hitmen aren't cheap and they don't take credit cards.

Grace: [talking about Howie] He's crazy.
Rigsby: Yeah, crazy don't make him innocent. Crazy is what makes people kill other people.

Grace: [Talking about Kristina] Excuse me, but you might consider the possibility that she's actually honestly in touch with something beyond your understanding.

Grace: Boss?
Lisbon: Hmm?
Grace: I've been here nearly six months now, half a year.

Grace: Okay?
Lisbon: Yeah, sure.
Grace: Thanks, boss.

Grace: Hey. Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?
Jane: No.
Grace: Yes, you are.
Jane: They've had enough of me. Officer Powell here was kind enough to give me a ride back.
Grace: Well. Thank you...I guess.

Grace: I don't get it. She actually enjoyed helping him kill. One crazy, evil person I understand, but two? Husband and wife? Marriage is suppose to be a sacred, loving thing.
Jane: Yeah, they were soulmates in their strange own way.

Grace: I don't like it.
Rigsby: Me neither. What's the alternative?
Grace: It's immoral.
Rigsby: I don't know about that. Say your brain gets cooked if you use 'em a lot. Make you infertile, too.
Grace: What are you talking about?
Rigsby: Microwaves. What are you talking about?
Grace: The séance this evening!
Rigsby: We were looking at the microwave!

Grace: I don't think it's right to bet on such things. That's a human being that just died!
Rigsby: No, it's okay. We're in Nevada. Here in California, yeah it'd be wrong. [Crosses over to Nevada side.] But here, Nevada. It's okay to gamble on body parts.

Grace: I say we bring him in anyway for creepiness.
Lisbon: Which should be a criminal offense but it isn't.

Grace: It's gotta be tough.
Lisbon: What?
Grace: I mean, a drunk driver. Isn't that what happened to your mother? [Lisbon stares at her] Sorry. It's not my business.
Lisbon: We don't discuss our personal lives in this unit. It's not useful and it's not professional.
