Quotes 

• Dennis Abbott : [Jane has evaded his FBI tail]  Don't dig yourself any deeper. Where did he go?

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't know.

  Dennis Abbott : You guys really have a death wish, don't you?

  Wayne Rigsby : Sir, we really don't know.

  Dennis Abbott : [skeptical]  Mm-hmm.

  [Abbott gets out of the car] 

  Kimball Cho : "Sir"? Why the hell are you calling him "sir"?

  Wayne Rigsby : Oh, calm down, Dillinger. We're under arrest. We might as well be civil.

  Kimball Cho : Why? You think you'll get a nicer cell?

• Dennis Abbott : Where is he?

  Teresa Lisbon : If you're asking about Jane, I don't know. Did you check upstairs?

  Dennis Abbott : Yeah. You know, maybe you haven't heard; about an hour ago, Gale Bertram killed a cop at a gas station in east Sac.

  Teresa Lisbon : I heard.

  Dennis Abbott : Did you hear what Bertram was doing at the gas station?

  Teresa Lisbon : No.

  Dennis Abbott : Using a pay phone. Guess who he was calling.

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm gonna guess Jane.

  Dennis Abbott : Ah. Yeah. So where is he?

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't know.

  Dennis Abbott : I think you do.

  Teresa Lisbon : I can't help what you think.

  Dennis Abbott : I think your boyfriend is colluding with a dangerous fugitive. I think he is up to his neck in this Blake Association craziness, and probably you are, too.

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm not. He's not. Jane can't help who calls him. And he is not my boyfriend.

  Dennis Abbott : It's a damn shame, Teresa. By all accounts, you were a good cop.

  Teresa Lisbon : I still am.

• [first lines] 

  Dennis Abbott : [Lisbon enters the empty CBI office]  Lisbon. I'm glad you can join us.

  Teresa Lisbon : Traffic.

  Dennis Abbott : Hmm. Where's Jane?

  Teresa Lisbon : He'll be in to see you as soon as he's able.

  Dennis Abbott : This way.

• Dennis Abbott : Now, I understand you all must feel scared, nervous, don't know what in the hell is gonna happen next, right?

  Teresa Lisbon : Agent...

  Dennis Abbott : So let me explain what's next. Over the next few days, we will be talking to each of you, individually. You are entitled to bring along an attorney or a union rep should you so choose.

  Kimball Cho : Why would we need an attorney?

  Dennis Abbott : Well, let's look at this from our perspective, Kimball. Your boss, Bertram, is a criminal. Makes sense that you might be one, too. We will be looking very closely at all of you. If you have ever done anything even remotely questionable, we will find out and we will prosecute. Unless, of course, we feel very, very comfortable with your cooperation. Then you got a little wiggle room.

• Dennis Abbott : Go track Agent Lisbon's vehicle.

  FBI Agent Denyer : Yes, sir.

  Teresa Lisbon : You put a bug on my car?

  Dennis Abbott : How do you think we found Jane? I said I was glad to see you people, because I knew you would screw up and make my life easy. And you did just that. Thank you.
