Patrick Jane : We could learn to sail, buy a boat, sail around the world.
Teresa Lisbon : [sarcastic laugh] Right.
Patrick Jane : What? I've always wanted to do that. A lot of people do it. I mean, we could do it.
Teresa Lisbon : There's whales and storms and pirates. Scurvy. I mean, besides, I get seasick.
Patrick Jane : You do?
Teresa Lisbon : Yeah!
Patrick Jane : How badly?
Teresa Lisbon : Pretty bad.
Patrick Jane : Oh. Well, maybe you get over that.
Teresa Lisbon : We are not sailing around the world.
Patrick Jane : All right. Beekeeping? Who doesn't like honey?
Teresa Lisbon : [sarcastic] Oh, you just come up with the best ideas. Beekeeping?
Patrick Jane : Well, I think you'd look very cute in one of those little beekeeping suits.
Teresa Lisbon : How is that romantic?

Patrick Jane : What was she like?
Teresa Lisbon : I don't know. She seemed nice.
Patrick Jane : Well, just looking for impressions.
Teresa Lisbon : She was very clean, well-put together.
Patrick Jane : Mm-hmm.
Teresa Lisbon : Manicured hands. But she chewed the skin around her nails.
Patrick Jane : What did she order?
Teresa Lisbon : Coffee, black. Paid cash. She waited until the woman behind the counter could see her put her tip in the tip jar.
Patrick Jane : Interesting. I wonder if I do that.
Teresa Lisbon : Four sugars. That's a lot.
Patrick Jane : Yeah, that is a lot. So you talked to her, you said "I like your bag."
Teresa Lisbon : How'd you know that?
Patrick Jane : Because that's what you think other women talk about.
Teresa Lisbon : Well, it worked. We talked.
Patrick Jane : Tell me about her.
Teresa Lisbon : I don't know. She's reserved. It's the kind of quiet where maybe she could be a raging bitch or she's just shy.
Patrick Jane : What's your verdict?
Teresa Lisbon : You want me to say if she's a killer based on spending one minute with her.
Patrick Jane : Sure.
Teresa Lisbon : Well, how do I do that?
Patrick Jane : Well, your brain's already processed all the information. You just have to listen to it.

Patrick Jane : If we wait for a plan, we might never leave. Maybe we just need to quit and stand still for a while. Let life happen. Let a plan take seed.
Teresa Lisbon : Wait for plan seeds to grow? We'd drive each other crazy.
Patrick Jane : Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe we'd be very happy. Won't know until we try.
Teresa Lisbon : Aren't you happy now?
Patrick Jane : Well, I am happy for the first time in... you know how long. But I'm scared.
Teresa Lisbon : Jane, one of us could get run over by a bus tomorrow.
Patrick Jane : Not if we're on a beach in Polynesia. Buses can't go on sand.
Teresa Lisbon : You could get eaten by a shark.
Patrick Jane : Not if I don't go in the water.
Teresa Lisbon : That sounds pretty boring and wussy, don't you think?
-
Teresa Lisbon : Admit it.
Patrick Jane : Admit what?
Teresa Lisbon : You enjoyed yourself. You love this job as much as I do.
Patrick Jane : Well, I love eggs, but that doesn't mean I want to eat nothing but omelets for the rest of my life.
Teresa Lisbon : Fair enough. But what's the alternative?
Patrick Jane : Pork chops. Coleslaw, French fries.
Teresa Lisbon : [amused] What's the alternative for us? You talk about quitting, but what are we gonna do? What's the plan?
Patrick Jane : Well, I don't have one as yet.
Teresa Lisbon : Well, that's a problem, isn't it?
