Robin Tunney: Teresa Lisbon

Quotes 

• Dane Kurtik : I don't know what you're talking about. But you mean to be offensive, I guess. And you've succeeded very well. And I'm going to be taking this up with your superiors. What is your name?

  Patrick Jane : My name is Patrick Jane.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Quietly to Jane]  Jane stop.

  Patrick Jane : And I have no superiors. And I'll tell you what I'm talking about you sweaty little pervert.

• Teresa Lisbon : So what do you think? Did it work?

  Patrick Jane : I think 3... 2... 1... How cool would it have been if one of them walked in right now?

  Hope : [Slight pause. Hope enters]  Hi.

• Teresa Lisbon : My father was a good man, just like you were. And after my mom died, he was a self-pitying drunk just like you are. He killed himself. Damn near killed me and my brothers too.

  [Hands card to Jack Tanner] 

  Teresa Lisbon : Get some help. Your kids deserve it. You do too.

• 'Flipper' : I guess, uh, you must be bad cop.

  Teresa Lisbon : I try.

• Teresa Lisbon : [after Van Pelt reveals she knows about Lisbon's parents]  We don't discuss our personal lives in this unit. It's not useful and it's unprofessional.

• Teresa Lisbon : How is it you don't even notice a nose in your floor?

  Kyle Rayburn : That's what I'm telling you. We're trying to finish this thing too fast!

• Virgil Minelli : You brought him all the way back here: *why*?

  Teresa Lisbon : The local sheriff begged me not to put him in his jail. Kurtik is a big cheese down there.

• Danny Kurtik : Thank you very much, ma'am, but, uh, we don't need a grief counselor.

  Hope : We know how to grieve.

  Teresa Lisbon : Good, because I'm not a grief counselor. Principal didn't want to say "homicide detective" in front of the other students.
