Brenda Shettrick: Agent Cho?

Kimball Cho: Yeah?

Brenda Shettrick: It is the specific request of the Deputy AG that your unit cooperate fully with the media.

Kimball Cho: What's your point?

Teresa Lisbon: We've closed more cases than any other unit in the CBI. But we don't keep score that way. It's not a contest.

Teresa Lisbon: Okay, hold it. I thought we had an agreement. Brenda... word.

Patrick Jane: Was she dating anyone?

Wilson: A social life - Martha? No. She had a cat.

Patrick Jane: [Picking up a picture of a cat] Ah yes.

Wilson: But it died.

Patrick Jane: Right.

Melba Walker Shannon: [to Wilson] These people will be leaving now.

Patrick Jane: I like the way you say that. Melba-like-the-toast. So tough and command. Let me tell you something. We are state law enforcement. And we leave when we want to leave.

Teresa Lisbon: Thanks for your time.

Patrick Jane: She wants to leave. See ya.

Teresa Lisbon: You guys look into this Jasper character.

Patrick Jane: Don't bother, he's a red herring.

Grace Van Pelt: What does it mean anyway? "A red herring?"

Teresa Lisbon: A red herring is what you look into regardless of what Jane tells you.

Teresa Lisbon: So what's the deal? You know, I would think out of everybody, you'd be the most comfortable with the cameras.

Patrick Jane: Last time I was in front of a camera, things uh, didn't turn out so well.

Teresa Lisbon: Oh God, Jane. I'm sorry.

Patrick Jane: You don't need to be sorry. And you're right. There's no reason not to be civil. I'm going to go apologize.

Wayne Rigsby: What would Jane want us to do in this situation, Cho? With his life in jeopardy.

Kimball Cho: You know what he'd want us to do.

Wayne Rigsby: Yep. Okay. I guess we have to go...

[Rigsby closes the blinds, and locks the door]

Wayne Rigsby: ...there.

Kimball Cho: [Cho uncuffs Henrick] We should call an ambulance. It's procedure.

Wayne Rigsby: Sure. They can set it fast and we can get straight back to questioning.

Bart Henrik: Wait. Set what?

Kimball Cho: Your arm, you broke it. Slipped on stairs.

Wayne Rigsby: Yeah, your should be more careful, Henrik.

Patrick Jane: Well, it's a big secret, well kept.

Wayne Rigsby: Maybe you knew, but nobody else did.

Kimball Cho: I knew. Half the building knows.

Wayne Rigsby: They do not!

Kimball Cho: Yes they do.

Patrick Jane: The only person who didn't know is glaring at you right now.

Teresa Lisbon: \*Now\* I have to do something about it.

Mike Brewster: Do you enjoy police work?

Patrick Jane: Hm...

Mike Brewster: Patrick?

Patrick Jane: Uh, yeah, I'm thinking. Uh... yes and no... uh, yeah, sometimes... and sometimes not.

Mike Brewster: Forget it, Steve. Why do you so dislike being filmed?

Patrick Jane: [stands up and whispers] Because you're stealing my soul.

Mike Brewster: You don't like being asked questions, do you? The team as a whole seems to have a problem with that.

Kimball Cho: Is that a question?

Chief Donner: My people can handle this. No problem. California Bureau of Interference is what you are.

Patrick Jane: Interference? That's witty.

Teresa Lisbon: [Quietly to Jane] Stay out of this.

[to Donner]

Teresa Lisbon: I'm sure your people are competent, Chief. We're simply following the AG's orders.

Grace Van Pelt: I've learned about myself as well as about other people. Stuff I wish I didn't know sometimes.

Mike Brewster: Stuff like?

Grace Van Pelt: Why people do bad things do to one another. It's mainly because of secrets. Trying to hide the truth chips away at your spirit. Secrets... ruin relationships.

Patrick Jane: It's horribly obvious when people are in a relationship. Impossible to hide, try though they might.

Jasper: If I am branded a killer, everything I have fought for is discredited. People support me because I have respect for all living things.

Wayne Rigsby: So, uh, guys. I have something to say.

Grace Van Pelt: \*We\* have something to say.

Wayne Rigsby: Uh, life's too short for dishonest. Van P... Grace and I are... lovers.
