Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : Go to Galatin. Take Van Pelt with you.

  Kimball Cho : Ok.

  [Cho leaves] 

  Teresa Lisbon : You - go to Hell. Take a toothbrush.

  Patrick Jane : Which way is that?

  [Lisbon glares at him] 

  Patrick Jane : I'll go.

• Teresa Lisbon : You never went to high school?

  Patrick Jane : No. I was busy.

  Teresa Lisbon : You can stay. Just don't make me sorry I let you.

• Teresa Lisbon : A brawl? You started a brawl.

  Patrick Jane : Well, I was going for something a little more contained. Then... I guess people just wanted to explore the physical.

• Teresa Lisbon : What's your problem?

  Patrick Jane : Uh, it's just a room full of people lying to each other. Everyone here is trying so hard to show how much they've changed, when the mere *effort* screams that they haven't.

  Teresa Lisbon : Or they actually do change - with exceptions like Mr. Hair Plugs, of course...

  [points around] 

  Teresa Lisbon : You've got the rebel who took the bank job... The player who stays faithful to his wife...

  Patrick Jane : The rebel took the bank job because she sees her rebellion is fruitless. The player stays faithful to his wife because the consequence of infidelity is much greater now. But their instincts - their instincts never change.

• Grant : Stephanie? Oh my God. You look fantastic.

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm sorry. I'm not Stephanie. I'm...

  [Grant kisses her] 

  Patrick Jane : Whoa.

  Teresa Lisbon : Do that again and I'll arrest you!

  [Lisbon storms off] 

  Grant : Sorry, I had to. You've always been the one.

• Teresa Lisbon : I'm a far cry from what I was in high school.

  Patrick Jane : Well, wouldn't be so sure. Driven to succeed to the point of developing an ulcer. No tolerance for superiors less sharp than yourself. Shutting out girls that wanted to hang out with you. Blowing off boys that want to get close. All the while at every turn wondering "What is it I really want?"

  Teresa Lisbon : No.

  Patrick Jane : And you played an instrument. My guess. Hmmm, clainet.

  Teresa Lisbon : Not even close. We're done here.

• Teresa Lisbon : Yes. Yes. Nobody advances an inch from High School. You've proved your point.

  Patrick Jane : Their instincts never change.

• Teresa Lisbon : What's your problem?

  Patrick Jane : Uh, just a room full of people lying to each other. Everyone here is trying so hard to show how much they've changed. When the mere effort screams they haven't.

• Gabe Nyland : There was no inappropriate relationship.

  Teresa Lisbon : You call it inappropriate relationship. The law calls it soliticing sex from a minor.

  Gabe Nyland : She came to my door. Had an idea she wanted to discuss about youth voter effort for my campaign. Not going to discourage some enthusiastic kid who wants to get involved.

  Teresa Lisbon : No. No. You hide them in your bedroom.

• Teresa Lisbon : [Extreme's More Than Words Playing over speaker]  Oh, God, I used to love this song.

  Patrick Jane : Love the song?

  Teresa Lisbon : I used to love this song.

  Patrick Jane : You love this song?

  Teresa Lisbon : Yeah.

  Patrick Jane : Obviously you wanna dance.

  Teresa Lisbon : With you? No.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, come on. You can pretend that I'm that mean, cold-hearted guy that you used to worship from afar but never talked to. - Mm.

  Teresa Lisbon : No funny stuff.

  Patrick Jane : Really?

  [Jane and Lisbon dancing] 

  Patrick Jane : Trumpet?

  Teresa Lisbon : No.
