Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : Don't you have anybody you want to call besides Cho and Rigsby?

  Patrick Jane : If I were dying, I'd want to call you, but you're already here, so there's no need.

• Teresa Lisbon : Tell me the truth. This is a trick, right?

  Patrick Jane : No. Why would I do something like that? What would be the point?

  Teresa Lisbon : Swear on your child's grave!

  Patrick Jane : You know I don't do that. Not for anything.

• Teresa Lisbon : You know what made me feel better? Punching you in the nose.

  Patrick Jane : Ah, glad to be of service.

• Kimball Cho : [over the phone]  Hey boss; we're about 5 minutes from your location.

  Teresa Lisbon : Look, Cho; Jane and I have been exposed to the virus and it looks like we might die soon.

  Kimball Cho : ...Okay.

  Teresa Lisbon : I just wanted to thank you and Rigsby and Van Pelt. It has been an honor working with you. I need you to call my brother Tommy. His number is in my desk diary, it's under Town & Country Electrical. Tell him that I love him and that I forgive him for whatever. And he needs to make peace with his brothers; it's my last dying wish, you tell him that.

  Kimball Cho : Will do.

  [hangs up] 

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I actually wanted to talk to him too.

  Teresa Lisbon : Sorry.

  Patrick Jane : It was a fine farewell; I feared you'd become tearful and incoherent, but no. Strong. Noble. Bravo.

  Teresa Lisbon : Ha-ha... don't you have anyone you wanna call besides Cho and Rigsby?

  Patrick Jane : No; if I were dying, I'd want to call you, but you're already here, so there's no need.

  Teresa Lisbon : Me? What would you say?

  Patrick Jane : Meh.

  Teresa Lisbon : Wha-wait a minute. If? If I was dying?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, you're not really dying, I took a label and put it on an empty flask and then convinced poor Lilith Nash to run away, which I thought was very...

  Teresa Lisbon : You son of a bitch!

• Patrick Jane : Ooo. This is a good one.

  Teresa Lisbon : Good?

  Patrick Jane : Well, interesting. Unique.

  Teresa Lisbon : If you're a jaded ghoulish adventure seeker.

  Patrick Jane : Ghoulish? Listen, if people are going to kill each other off, and we have to catch them, I would much rather they go about it with some kind of originality.

• Wayne Rigsby : Anything to be looking out for in particular?

  Teresa Lisbon : Oh, uh, one of them released a lethal super virus that could kill half the state of California. So I guess we're looking for someone with a prior background as an evil supervillain.

  Kimball Cho : Ok.

  Teresa Lisbon : ...That last part was a joke.

  Kimball Cho : Yeah. We get it.

• Patrick Jane : Second, and most important, doesn't it feel great to get your life back? Don't you feel good right now? Don't you feel happy to be alive?

  Teresa Lisbon : No!

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I know you do! You know you do!

  Teresa Lisbon : And if reason number one doesn't pan out very *very* soon, I think I'm gonna punch you in the nose.

  Patrick Jane : Okay, fair enough, but just you wait. Any minute Harken is going to come running around that corner with an anxious expression on his face because someone has run off... any minute now...

  Teresa Lisbon : Nothing.

  [punches Jane in the nose] 

  Patrick Jane : Oh!

  [Harken runs around the corner, Jane points at him] 

  Patrick Jane : That's what I'm talking about!

• Patrick Jane : Don't you feel good right now? Don't you feel happy to be alive?

  Teresa Lisbon : No.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I know you do. You know you do.

  Teresa Lisbon : If reason number one does not pan out very, *very* soon, I think I'm going to punch you in the nose!

• Teresa Lisbon : Who else had access to the virus flask?

  Alicia Seberg : The only people allowed in are Cliff and I; Welks, Nash and Tripp, our colleagues. We have a state-of-the-art biometric security system, as you can see.

  Patrick Jane : So your husband or one of the three colleagues is the killer.

  [Everyone gives him a look] 

  Patrick Jane : Sorry, uh, *will* be the killer.

• Patrick Jane : Why didn't you tell us you were having an affair with Dr. Kaseem here?

  Alicia Seberg : Because it isn't relevant.

  Dr. Cliff Edmunds : Yeah, we have an honest and open marriage.

  Dr. Jason Kaseem : They do.

  Teresa Lisbon : Really? You don't mind.

  Dr. Cliff Edmunds : No, I don't mind at all. Fidelity is simply a cultural convention.

  Patrick Jane : Like clothes and not killing people.

• Teresa Lisbon : Let me explain something to you. This is politics. The C.D.C.A. is rich, mean and well connected. The CBI in comparison are like poor orphans. We can't make enemies out of them. We need to cooperate with this man.

  Patrick Jane : He irks me.

  Teresa Lisbon : Say it. "I understand."

  Patrick Jane : [mumbling]  Hmm.

  Teresa Lisbon : Go. Find yourself a vending machine. Buy yourself a candy bar and come back when you're ready to play nice.

  Patrick Jane : Give me a dollar and I will.

  Teresa Lisbon : [gives him a dollar]  You're paying me back.
