Rockmond Dunbar: Dennis Abbott

Quotes 

• Dennis Abbott : I've been getting some calls about you. My bosses want to know if you're sticking around.

  Patrick Jane : That's a good question.

  Dennis Abbott : Mm.

  [No answer from Jane] 

  Dennis Abbott : All right, well, no pressure. But if you're going, there is some legal stuff that we need to handle, to expunge that deal that we made.

  Patrick Jane : [Grins]  The napkin.

  Dennis Abbott : Mm-hmm.

  Patrick Jane : I'm getting married tomorrow. Then I'm building a house, and... beyond that, I genuinely have no idea. But I can't do this job forever... but it's going to be tough to give it up.

  Dennis Abbott : Yeah, sort of giving up making a difference, huh?

  Patrick Jane : No, everyone makes a difference. Hard to give up the chase.

  Dennis Abbott : Oh, yeah. That it is. So, you, uh... let me know when you know.

  Patrick Jane : I will.

  Dennis Abbott : It has been very good working with you, Patrick.

  Patrick Jane : You too, Dennis.

  [They shake hands] 

• Kimball Cho : We have to assume that Keller is alive and looking for Jane. How many agents are you gonna have at their wedding?

  Dennis Abbott : Four, but now I think we should probably have more.

  Kimball Cho : At least ten. We're gonna need eyes on the front and back yards, and the surrounding neighbourhoods. We should have a chopper on standby in case we need to pursue.

  Rick Tork : Yes, sir. But... wouldn't it be wiser to just... postpone the wedding?

  Kimball Cho : [Cho and Abbott both stare at Tork]  Postpone the wedding? We're the FBI.

  Rick Tork : There is that upside. We can use the wedding as bait. Kinda.

  [Cho and Abbott continue to stare at him] 

  Rick Tork : ... I'm gonna go check on that chopper.
