Bosco: Red John makes mistakes. That proves it. You will catch him.
Jane: Yes, I will.
Bosco: Do me a favor. When you catch him, don't arrest him. Kill the son of a bitch.
Jane: That's the plan.

You know what? Jane's not the problem. You are. You're so stuck on the idea that he's not a cop that you can't see what he is. You know how many cases he's closed for us? You think he's given me bad habits? I think he's made me a better cop.

Lisbon

Jane: Is she all right?
Lisbon: Yeah.
Bosco: Thank God.
Jane: Well, thank kevlar, actually.

Cho: Bosco's team calls us Bert and Ernie.
Rigsby: You knew that, and you didn't say anything?
Cho: It would bother you.
Rigsby: It doesn't bother you?
Cho: No.
Rigsby: Why not?
Cho: Ernie's the clever, handsome one.

Bosco: They're Jane's people. They need watching.
Lisbon: I like to think of them as my people.
Bosco: Well, think what you like. I can't have them trying to pull some cheap stunt behind my back.
Jane: Well, we have a whole range of expensive stunts if you don't like the cheap ones

This is Red John's mistake.. he made a mistake and this is it!

Jane

Rigsby: You have any plans for tonight?
Van Pelt: Home. TV.
Rigsby: Well...have fun.

Minelli: You abused a corpse to get a confession.
Jane: Used. Used a corpse. There's no "ab."

Lisbon: You are taking over the McAdoo interview.
Van Pelt: I'm totally ready for that. I can get him to confess to this.
Lisbon: Yeah. Maybe. Main thing is you keep him there long enough for us to search his car. Be friendly. He thinks he is a player. He'll live it up.
Van Pelt: What do you mean, "be friendly"?
Lisbon: Need a map?

Dr. Carmen: What do you do for fun?
Lisbon: Fun?!
Dr. Carmen: That thing when you're not working.

Minelli: (talking about Lisbon) You're worried about her. You think she might do something stupid?
Jane: Suicide? No. If she did, she wouldn't blame the bureau.
Minelli: That's not my concern at all!

Cho: Talked to Van Pelt recently?
Rigsby: Yep.
Cho: Any progress?
Rigsby Nope.
