Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : You didn't really think we were young enough to be in this class when we walked in, did you?

  Tess : Oh, everyone over the age of 21 looks the same to me.

  Patrick Jane : Tactful and evasive. You're gonna do very well in life, Tess.

• 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.

• Patrick Jane : Very nice to meet you.

  [shakes Gabe's hand] 

  Patrick Jane : Your politics are a roiling mess of greed and cynicism, but you have a lovely daughter.

• 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.

• Patrick Jane : Think of it this way. You mess up. We blow the case. I tell Lisbon.

  Wayne Rigsby : You're a cold bastard, you know that?

• Grace Van Pelt : A little old to be necking, aren't they?

  Patrick Jane : There's an age limit on that?

• 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.

• [People at the reunion are dancing The Macarena] 

  Patrick Jane : School would be so much more fun if they started the day with this every morning instead of the Pledge of Allegiance. Or maybe they could just integrate the two into the Dance of Allegiance.

• 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.

• Patrick Jane : When you want to remember the details, you close your eyes and in your mind, you walk around your very own memory palace.

  Wayne Rigsby : Yeah, but I... I... I can't learn all this stuff in just a couple hours.

  Patrick Jane : It comes very quickly once you get the hang of it, and they'll be wearing name tags.

  Wayne Rigsby : But why? I mean, why would I memorize all this?

  Patrick Jane : Fun.

  Wayne Rigsby : [realization dawns on him]  This is some dubious scheme that Lisbon doesn't know about, isn't it? Yeah, you can count me out.

• Patrick Jane : Nice cover. I didn't actually attend this high school. In fact, I didn't attend any high school. I'm with the CBI.

  Vice Principal DeSouza : Please. Please. These reunions are insufferable. What I wouldn't give to be at home on my couch, glass of wine, good book.

• Patrick Jane : If you don't cooperate, I'm gonna be forced to tell Lisbon about you and Van Pelt.

  Wayne Rigsby : Tell what? There's nothing to tell.

  Patrick Jane : Really?

  Wayne Rigsby : Yeah. I don't know what you're talking about.

  Patrick Jane : Ah. Contrary to very strict CBI rules, and regulations, you and Grave Van Pelt are engaged in an illicit affair.

  Wayne Rigsby : Nope.

  Patrick Jane : You're being childish.

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

  Patrick Jane : Their instincts never change.

• Wayne Rigsby : You want me to memorize everything we have on all sixty-seven alumni that showed up to the reunion?

  Patrick Jane : Yes, I do.

  Wayne Rigsby : And how would I do that?

  Patrick Jane : It's easy. You build a memory palace.

• 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.

• 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.
