Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : Hi.

  Teresa Lisbon : You all right?

  Patrick Jane : Uh... yeah, I'm fine.

  Teresa Lisbon : Everything's gonna be okay tomorrow. You know that, right? We know what we're doing. It's a good plan. It's a really good plan.

  Patrick Jane : He has a good plan, too.

  Teresa Lisbon : We're gonna be safe.

  Patrick Jane : Someone could get hurt.

  Teresa Lisbon : It's always dangerous.

  Patrick Jane : This is different.

  Teresa Lisbon : Everybody will be fine. I promise. We're all gonna be fine, if that's what this insomnia's about.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, you're right.

  Teresa Lisbon : I am right. Everything's gonna be okay.

  Patrick Jane : No, it's what the insomnia's about.

  Teresa Lisbon : Come to bed.

• Patrick Jane : Okay, what's wrong?

  Teresa Lisbon : Why? You must already know.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah. I... I took you...

  Teresa Lisbon : You took me off.

  Patrick Jane : Mm-hmm.

  Teresa Lisbon : On purpose. You knew that wasn't Lydon on the sixth floor; you had to have, but you sent me there anyway.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, that's right. I wanted to protect you.

  Teresa Lisbon : Protect me?

  Patrick Jane : Mm-hmm.

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm an FBI agent.

  Patrick Jane : I know.

  Teresa Lisbon : It's my job.

  Patrick Jane : I know. I... I'm sorry, but...

  Teresa Lisbon : But... what? You'd do it again?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah. I... yup. Probably would.

  Teresa Lisbon : That's the problem.

  Patrick Jane : It's not a problem.

  Teresa Lisbon : A really big one. You can't do that. Okay, you have to let me do my job. If you can't...

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, I understand.

  Teresa Lisbon : If you can't, I don't know. Like, how to we work together?

  Patrick Jane : Well... we work it out.

• Patrick Jane : [playing foosball]  Do you realize this is just a game?

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm not competitive. I just like to win.

• Ken Spackman : The murder victim, Edward Hu, was the key witness in a murder investigation into one Kelvin Bittaker. He beat a guy to death over a spilled drink.

  Dennis Abbott : The family's been of interest to the Dallas FBI for some time. Their import/export car warehouse is a front.

  Ken Spackman : This murder case, this is just a thin edge of the wedge. Now, the hope here is to use Kelvin's conviction to take the whole family down. Kelvin might be looking at the needle, which might make him more pliable.

  Patrick Jane : Now, you said the hope "is", not "was", from which I surmise that you have another witness to the murder?

  Ken Spackman : We do. A young woman. Young mother, actually. If we can convince her to testify after today, and if we can keep her alive.

  Teresa Lisbon : You think the Bittakers have a hit out on her also? That'd be a pretty bold move at this point.

  Ken Spackman : You can count on it. This woman's testimony is enough to bring them down. If Kelvin goes to jail, he's gonna take the whole family with him.

• Dennis Abbott : The young woman, Lily Stoppard, is scheduled to testify in two days' time. With a hitman of this caliber, we've been asked to come and join the investigation.

  Kimball Cho : Three perfect shots from close to a thousand yards. Not many snipers can can make hits from that distance with that kind of accuracy.

  Michelle Vega : That should narrow it down, right?

  Ken Spackman : I wish. Truth is the shooter could have been anybody. And these Bittakers, they can choose any number of their contacts to call in a hit. Shooter could be any nationality, he can be any age.

  Patrick Jane : Nah, he's a regional guy.

  Ken Spackman : And here we go.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah. Local boy with a sweet tooth for powdered sugar beignets. See? And they... they shook hands, obviously.

  Ken Spackman : How do we know that the, uh, victim wasn't holding the beignet, Jane?

  Patrick Jane : No, he's trim. He's spruced. He's on the job. He's not a pastry buff.

  Ken Spackman : Doesn't mean that the shooter's regional. A lot of people like beignets.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I would argue that a lot of people don't even know what beignets are, Spackman. But I will concede you that point.

  Ken Spackman : [sarcastic]  Ah, thank you.

  Patrick Jane : And I will focus on who hired him and what Kelvin did to that boy from San Diego. I'm guessing the Bittakers have very little tolerqnce for outsiders.

  Teresa Lisbon : So if they ordered the hit, it would have been somebody they were comfortable with.

• Teresa Lisbon : Looks pretty deserted.

  Patrick Jane : No, I think there's someone here.

  Ken Spackman : We have to assume there is. All right, here's the plan. Lisbon and I are gonna check it out. Jane, you stay.

  Patrick Jane : [insulted]  Ken, really? "Stay"?

  Ken Spackman : Listen to me. For all we know, this lady's just bad at video games. All right? And I don't want to go upsetting the locals.

  Patrick Jane : I... I'm happy to wait here. I'm not your dog.

  [under his breath as Lisbon and Spackman leave] 

  Patrick Jane : Jackass.

• Dennis Abbott : The hit is still in play. We'll hold Ethan for twenty-four hours, but Lydon has been a step ahead of us the whole way. We have to get ahead now.

  Teresa Lisbon : Lily's testifying tomorrow.

  Dennis Abbott : First thing in the morning, yeah. Now, Lydon probably already scoped out her hotel, so we'll change her.

  Patrick Jane : Lily's safe as long as she's in her hotel room, yeah?

  Dennis Abbott : Yes. She has full protection from the car to the courthouse.

  Patrick Jane : But not en route to the car.

  Dennis Abbott : No.

  Patrick Jane : No. Yyou... you want to stay ahead of Lydon, you leave Lily where she is. We make our own plan.

  Dennis Abbott : Okay. Which is what?

  Patrick Jane : "The general who chooses the field of battle wisely wins before the fighting starts."

  Dennis Abbott : Okay. I'm listening.
