Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : Are you for real? We've had to endure your surprise visits for months. You've named your killer. She's on the run. Why do you keep showing up at my crime scenes?

  LaRoche : Because this morning I...

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't even want to hear it! The second Hightower's replacement is annouced, I am going to put in a formal request to keep you away from me!

  LaRoche : As I was saying, this morning I was assigned to take over Hightower's duties, which includes overseeing this team.

  Patrick Jane : Oopsy-daisy.

  LaRoche : I appreciate your candor, and I'm going to honor your request. Agent Cho.

  Kimball Cho : Yeah?

  LaRoche : I'm putting you in charge of the team as of right now. Agent Lisbon, you report to Cho. Good day.

• Teresa Lisbon : Wasn't my catch. Cho gets the credit. He's a good leader. You were right about him.

  LaRoche : I'll include your sentiments in his file, as well as a commendation in your own.

  Teresa Lisbon : Thank you.

  LaRoche : You are back in charge of your team, effective immediately.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Quietly]  What?

  [pause. Then louder] 

  Teresa Lisbon : What?

  LaRoche : You're back in charge.

  Teresa Lisbon : No, I heard you... Why was I pulled off in the first place?

  LaRoche : Maybe I was messing with you... And it showed you I won't tolerate any disrespect... That'll be all.

• LaRoche : [appearing without notice]  Lisbon?

  Teresa Lisbon : We really need to get you a bell.
