Christine Adams: Lena Abbott

Quotes 

• Dennis Abbott : Jane, could you please just give us a minute?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, I would, but time is short. And I'm guessing each of you is offering to fall on your sword for the other, which is very loving and admirable, but I don't think it'll work.

  Dennis Abbott : Why not?

  Patrick Jane : Because Peterson is ruthless and determined, and he won't stop until he's destroyed both of you. Now, we knew he was gonna make a move like this sooner or later. Now it is time for us to make our move.

  Lena Abbott : Which is what, exactly? The hearings are in three days.

  Patrick Jane : Well, I think I can come up with something if you both want me involved.

  Dennis Abbott : No. No, this is not your problem.

  Lena Abbott : Wait a minute. Dennis tells me you have one of the trickiest and most devious minds he's worked with.

  Patrick Jane : He did, did he? Oh. Well, I didn't come here to be flattered, but please go on.

  Lena Abbott : He also says you're his friend, and that he would trust you with his life. Can you really help?

  Patrick Jane : I think so.

• Lena Abbott : You're sure he has the evidence?

  Dennis Abbott : Sure enough. Look, baby, I am so sorry. I should have told you everything.

  Lena Abbott : Don't say that.

  Dennis Abbott : No, no, no. It's my fault. I really let you down.

  Lena Abbott : Do not say that. You don't have to apologize. Not to me. Not to anyone. That this person would try to bring you down makes me so angry. This is simple. I'll withdraw my name.

  Dennis Abbott : No.

  Lena Abbott : I don't want the job if this is what it takes to get it.
