Red John and Jane in “Red John”

You probably have a lot of questions for me, huh? We have time, if you want.

Jane

I have no questions. You're an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur. The rest is just details.

Evil, sexually perverted sociopath? Well, I guess I have to own that, but, uh... delusions of grandeur? No. I have no delusions. I built a secret empire. I control the lives of thousands of people. My word is life and death, and nobody knows who I am. Now if that's not grandeur, I don't know what you call it.

Jane

I'd call it the ravings of a squalid egomaniac.

You see? For no reason at all, you... you're rude and contemptuous. That's why your wife and kid are dead. Who are you to butt in here and make obnoxious judgments about me? Who are you? Hmm? Who are you? Nobody. Nobody. You didn't know me. You don't know me. You have no idea. Here's your problem, Pat. You're a smart man, but you are arrogant. You can't imagine someone smarter than you. Which is why I've been ahead of you at every step along the way.

Jane

You're holding the gun. You want to brag? Go ahead. I'm not gonna stop you.

You still don't know how I fooled you, do you? How did I survive that bomb? How did I know all the names on your list?

Jane

Is this what you've been missing? Appreciation?
