Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : Lisbon, I understand your precarious emotional state. Given you've just gotten your job back, and your sensitivity to the bureaucrats that are watching your every move.

  Teresa Lisbon : They are.

  Patrick Jane : Yes, but that's your thing. I gotta be me. I can't change who I am.

  Teresa Lisbon : No, but you can change where you are tomorrow at 12.

• Beth Flint : All those years ago - when you were a psychic - you were lying to me. Telling me about my future.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

  Beth Flint : Don't apologize. You tried to tell me. You deceived me sure, but you gave me hope. Thank you for that. Goodbye, Patrick.

• Patrick Jane : I didn't give her hope. I sold her hope.

  Teresa Lisbon : I think hope is worth it at any price.

  Patrick Jane : What? Are you running for office now?

  Teresa Lisbon : Okay, you know what? You're a wicked charlatan. You're going to Hell then.

  Patrick Jane : That's more like it. Save you a seat by the fire.

  Teresa Lisbon : Oh, I'm not going to hell.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, you're not, huh?

  Teresa Lisbon : No.

• Teresa Lisbon : She's an old client?

  Patrick Jane : Uh, yeah.

  Teresa Lisbon : This is a mess. We don't have time for this. That boy is out there somewhere and this psychic stuff is a distraction. I think you better leave.

  Patrick Jane : Can't say I disagree.

• Patrick Jane : That doesn't mean I'm psychic. It just means that you're gullible and desperate.

  Deke Hutton : What is wrong with you that you treat people like that?

  Patrick Jane : Oh, you should have seen me 10 years ago.

• Nate Glass : Son of a bitch! Trying to steal my action?

  Patrick Jane : Mr. Glass, nice to finally meet you. And you got no action. You're a disgrace to the profession. That contact you faked with Connor - weak. Weak!

  Nate Glass : Bite me. That gag was seamless. Did you see how she fell for it?

  [Glass chuckles. Then in a high voice] 

  Nate Glass : Oh Mo Mo. Mo Mo.

  [Glass chuckles again] 

  Patrick Jane : Thanks that should do it.

  [Jane pulls out a recorder] 

• Patrick Jane : You're pretty good, I'll give you that. Not great, just... pretty good.

  Nate Glass : What can I say? It's a gift.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah... see, here's the thing, Glass. I played the same game myself, so normally I wouldn't tell you not to run your little scam.

  Nate Glass : Well, it's not a scam.

  Patrick Jane : It's a scam. We both know it's a scam. But you've stepped over a line. This is police business. There's a child's life at stake here.

  Nate Glass : Yeah, that's why I'm here.

  Patrick Jane : You don't want to push me. Back off this woman. Get out of here right now, or you're gonna regret it.

• Patrick Jane : And you are?

  Deke Hutton : Connor's uncle. Deke Hutton.

  Patrick Jane : Hmm.

  Deke Hutton : And you should have gone to jail, you miserable sleazebag.

  Patrick Jane : Well, nice to meet you, too.

• Deke Hutton : If you think you're gonna pin this on me, then you are very much mistaken.

  Patrick Jane : Typical addict. Misdirected anger, persecution complex.

  Deke Hutton : Excuse me, I'm not an addict.

  Patrick Jane : Uh, yes, you are. You both are. You, gambling; hence the purple smudge on your thumb from the ticket stubs at the track and your need to live off your sister's money.

  Deke Hutton : You son of a...!

  Patrick Jane : [Jonathan holds Deke back]  And you, antidepressants. The shiny skin, the dyspepsia; some deep emotional need not being fulfilled, I would guess.

  Jonathan Flint : Are we done here?

  Patrick Jane : Just getting started.

• Teresa Lisbon : Jane, we don't have time for you to have a feud with this guy. It's - it's like your conscience is battling your old self. There's no upside.

  Patrick Jane : You think that's why I'm here? Intriguing.

• Teresa Lisbon : [Calling Jane on her cell phone]  Hey Jane. We got Walton. The kid's nowhere to be seen.

  Patrick Jane : Tell Rigsby to look in his left front pocket. There should be a note.

  Teresa Lisbon : Rigs, is there a note in your left front pocket?

  Wayne Rigsby : [Rigsby pulls out a note from his left front pocket]  "The balloon man didn't take Connor."... Okay, so how did he do that?

• Patrick Jane : Well, if you care so much, how come you let her throw money away on this uh, psychic.

  Deke Hutton : Never bothered you when it was you, Mr. Jane. Yeah, I heard about you. You nearly squeezed Beth dry.
