Minelli wants me to keep a watch on you.
What are you going to do?
I'm not going to follow you around. Let's compromise. When you get into trouble, call me first so I can try and minimize the damage.
S1 E11Red John's Friends
[to Jane] Just do me the favor of listening to me for a minute, so I can say "I told you so" later.
The law's the law. My desire for revenge doesn't outweigh the rules. I have to accept that.
I'm glad you understand.
Thanks for your time.
[Jane exits]
He's lying through his teeth, isn't he?
Yes.
JRJared Renfrew
[to Jane] Your wife...Red John painted her toenails. Yes. Painted them with her own blood...the police didn't make that public, did they? She's the only instance he did that, huh? A touch of elegance for you alone.
JRJared Renfrew
Red John is the friend of a friend of mine.
What is this friend's name?
JRJared Renfrew
His name is get me out of here and I'll tell you that and much more. I'll sing like a bird.
S1 E12Red Rum
Man, I thought you were going to have her cast a spell, find the murder weapon.
Oh, spell's already cast.
When did she cast it?
She didn't. I did.
You can cast spells?
Cho, there's no such thing as spells.
I know that.
Witches have the power of telekinesis. She says that she has a spell, which will raise the weapon from wherever it's been concealed, and reveal itself to us.
MMichael
And you believe this evil crap?
Well, you never can tell. We're going to give it a whirl.
Tamzin, the goddess may give you solace and hope and meaning in your life. But she can't protect you from those policemen out there.
Witchcraft creeps me out.
It doesn't bother me. Nerds in cloaks.
There's more to it than that.
It's just a silly alternative lifestyle, like Star Trek or yoga.
I do yoga.
They should wait 10 minutes, then go in.
Why wait?
Let the plot develop, let the fruit ripen, let the yeast rise, etcetera.
MMichael
You don't speak to my son, without my permission.
Oh, well that's a little weird and controlling, but okay. Do you mind if I speak to your son, Mr. Elkins?
Must be tough being Cody Elkins' little brother.
BBrad
No. Well, yeah, sometimes.
Me? I'd hate it. He gets all the attention, the glory, the girls flocking around, for what? For running and jumping and catching a thing?
BBrad
Yeah, monkeys could do that.
Yeah.
BBrad
Monkeys could do it better.
You know, if monkeys played football, they would kick some serious jock butt.
BBrad
Go away.
I can't. I wish I could. It's my job to hound people until I get the truth.
Relax. No such thing as witches.
[to himself] Yeah, it's easy for you to say. Weird witch-lady didn't burn you an effigy and bind you to her power.
Why did you give her my name? She said I was going to kneel before the Lord of Beasts. What does that even mean?
Oh, come on, you're not telling me you believe she's an actual witch?
No, of course not. But, I mean if dark forces did exist, stands to reason that there could be people who control them for their own ends.
They're called investment bankers.
