Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : [Reading "The Fax Machine Revolution"]  This guy predicted that by the year 2000, every American household would have a fax machine. Can you believe it? I had a fax machine. You?

  Kimball Cho : Yeah.

  Patrick Jane : Wow. Nostradamus of office equipment.

• Teresa Lisbon : What are you doing?... You're leaving?

  Patrick Jane : Well, frankly, if I can't use this job to seek some kind of personal revenge, then uh, there's no a whole lot for me here. I think that - I don't make things better. I - I can't bring dead people back to life. What good do we do? We drive around California visiting unhappy people.

  Grace Van Pelt : We're fighting evil and injustice.

  Patrick Jane : And how's that going? Any progress lately?

  Kimball Cho : We put bad guys where they can't hurt people. That's good enough.

  Patrick Jane : Meh. I was doing more good as a psychic. I was giving people hope, at least. False hope, but hope anyway.

• Sam Bosco : Let me communicate this to you. You're a party entertainer. A clown. Fresh leads? I wouldn't tell you where the bathroom was if your ass was on fire. Do we have a good understanding now?

  Patrick Jane : I understand you. It may take you some time to understand me.

  Sam Bosco : You're filled with equal parts self-loathing and self-love. You're addicted to control. You're terrified of confinement.

  Patrick Jane : Who's my favorite Beatle?

• Patrick Jane : Rigsby, you're right. You shouldn't be here. Let us take this. You go find the nearest library.

  Wayne Rigsby : Why?

  Patrick Jane : Your punishment for being a wuss is I'm not going to tell you.

• Patrick Jane : Where are those suspects you mentioned?

  Captain Bocanegra : The witnesses?

  Patrick Jane : Whatever.

• [Jane grabs Candice's purse and begins to rifle through it] 

  Candice : Hey!

  Patrick Jane : It's okay, I'm a consultant. Candice, take my advice: Forgive your mother. Maybe the headaches will stop.

  Candice : I love my mother.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I'm wrong. Ignore my advice.

• Patrick Jane : Are we about to look at a whole bunch of numbers?

  Teresa Lisbon : Probably.

  Patrick Jane : All right. I'll wait in the car.

• Wayne Rigsby : This is exactly the kind of stuff that Boss was talking about. She didn't okay this at all, did she?

  Patrick Jane : So shoot me.

• Eric Blair : What are you doing here, Kimball? Is there a problem?

  Kimball Cho : It's an ongoing investigation, sir. We can't give out any details.

  Patrick Jane : Grisly homicide, though.

• Teresa Lisbon : No secrets, Jane. No lies. No tricks. No surprises. The truth.

  Patrick Jane : Oh? Since when is that the rule?

  Teresa Lisbon : Since I said so.

• Teresa Lisbon : Oh really? So we're lost without you, are we?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah. Let's be honest here.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Getting in the van and slamming the door shut]  Let's go. Drive!

• Patrick Jane : Now you, Miss Grumpy-and-Entitled, what's your story?

  Mandy Schultz : My name is Mandy Schultz. And I'll have you know...

  Patrick Jane : Let me guess. Your husband is a very important person.

  Mandy Schultz : He is, as it happens. John's on the Modesto city council. And this is totally unprofessional and disrespectful! I'll have my husband take this up with your superiors.

  Patrick Jane : Mandy, Mandy, Mandy. The diet pills are messing with your mind. This is Sacramento, the big city. Your husband means nothing here.

• Grace Van Pelt : No drug paraphernalia, no condoms or other items suggesting prostitution. So maybe a personal crime. A husband or lover.

  Patrick Jane : Bravo, Grace. Wrong, I expect, but very well reasoned nonetheless.

• [last lines] 

  Patrick Jane : [imitating Bosco on the phone]  Oh, hi. Sam Bosco here, CBI Major Crimes Program. Question: how do I go about changing my use access passcode? I got strong reason to believe it's been compromised.

  [pause] 

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, great. Sure. Sure, I can hold.

  [Jane smiles] 

• Patrick Jane : You're glad Bosco has the Red John case, aren't you?

  Teresa Lisbon : Bosco is a good agent. He's as good as they come. It might not be such a bad thing that we're off the case for a while. We got too close.

  Patrick Jane : Is that what your shrink tells you?

  Teresa Lisbon : Everybody tells me that.

  Patrick Jane : But your shrink did tell you that, didn't he?

• Rhonda Jaffe : I've got nothing else to say without my lawyer.

  Patrick Jane : You don't need to say anything. I knew it was you from the start.

  Kimball Cho : Thanks for sharing.

• Patrick Jane : [Quoting Sun Tzu]  If you sit down by the river and wait long enough, you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.
