Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : The thing is - not dealing with you everyday has been very restful for me. My back pain's gone. I sleep really well. So I'm not actually so sure I'm grateful to be back.

  Patrick Jane : You're a terrible liar. No offense. Good honest people always bad liars.

  Teresa Lisbon : Which makes you what?

• Patrick Jane : Come on. When have I steered you wrong?

  Wayne Rigsby : Recently?

• Gale Bertram : Now I have a problem because uh, our urgent need for your skills are precisely balanced by my desire to fire you - before you destroy the bureau or my career - or both.

  Patrick Jane : I understand... You're in a tight spot. You know who's always been a healthy moderating influence on me?

  Gale Bertram : [Chuckling]  Yeah, of course, Lisbon. I'm sorry, not possible.

  Patrick Jane : Well, then. You will continue to have a problem.

• Teresa Lisbon : Let me get this straight: Haffner has the address book, but it's a fake.

  Patrick Jane : Fake as a three dollar bill.

  Teresa Lisbon : And then how did he find it in Kuzmenko's house?

  Patrick Jane : Well, I copied the names from the list of Kuzmenko's clients, then I put the book where Haffner would find it.

  Kimball Cho : And I told Haffner that Jane thought the address book was at the house. So he went to the house.

  Teresa Lisbon : Why?

  Patrick Jane : Haffner's all about surveillance. I knew he'd be following us; I had to do something to throw him off the scent. Now we can solve the case without Haffner looking over our shoulders.

  Teresa Lisbon : No. No, no, no

  Patrick Jane : Don't be hasty.

  Teresa Lisbon : I will deal with you in a minute.

• Teresa Lisbon : I could kill you with my bare hands!

  Patrick Jane : Well, it's not the first time. Come on. You don't have a choice. You do nothing, they get fired. You work with me, they keep their jobs and you might even get yours back.

  Teresa Lisbon : All right. But it's just you and me. They don't do anything.

• [last lines] 

  Rosalind Harker : You understand. He never called himself Red John to me. The man I knew was Roy Tagliafero.

  Patrick Jane : Roy and Red John are the same person. I'm sure of it.

  [Jane puts Rosalind's hands on Carter's face] 

  Rosalind Harker : ...I never met this man. I have no idea who he is.

  Patrick Jane : Thank you.

• Ray Haffner : [over a body]  Jane? Any thoughts?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah. The years teach us patience; the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting

  CBI Agent Anthony Niskin : Pretty deep. The Buddha?

  Patrick Jane : Elizabeth Taylor. This man is dead. I'm all but certain of it

• Patrick Jane : [on the phone with a suspect, Jane interrupts himself to talk directly to Lisbon]  Oh, we're gonna need some of that

  [pantomimes spraying] 

  Patrick Jane : the... the... glowy spray stuff the crime scene guys use

  Teresa Lisbon : Glowy spray stuff?

  Patrick Jane : Yes. Yeah, the glowy spray stuff. Fine

• Patrick Jane : You're rehiring me, and you're firing Lisbon? That's a little preverse, don't you think?

  Gale Bertram : You close cases. Agent Lisbon led a covert operation that led to the deaths of two police officers and one FBI Agent. There just had to be some accountability there.

  Patrick Jane : My operation. It was *my* operation.

  Gale Bertram : Well, that's exactly the problem. We expect better supervision from our senior agents. Which is why Lisbon is being investigated and her team reassigned to other posts.

• Teresa Lisbon : Just so you know, Jane. I'm okay.

  Patrick Jane : About?

  Teresa Lisbon : Losing my job. I'm not going to say that I like it. But we got Red John. It was worth it.

  Patrick Jane : Don't be silly. "A", you haven't lost your job.

  Teresa Lisbon : The hearing's a formality.

  Patrick Jane : And "B", we didn't get Red John.

• Patrick Jane : [as Anne-Marie's running on a treadmill]  Hi... Lovely rings.

  Anne-Marie : Thanks.

  Patrick Jane : Expensive, I suspect. Your husband must be very generous.

  Anne-Marie : Yeah. Do you mind?

  Patrick Jane : [pause. Jane starts to leave then returns]  Just, uh, one more thing. Markus Kuzmenko - more of a gentle lover or a brute?

  [Anne-Marie gasps, stumbles and falls on the treadmill]
