Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : Jane sent us a note.

  Chief Arnold Nail : What's it say?

  Teresa Lisbon : "Hey everybody. Solved the case. Saw an envelope on the Mayor's desk left by Amber. Must be what the killer's looking for. Can't get to it right now. Yours truly - Jane. P.S. Lisbon, I'm not paying the ticket."

• Wayne Rigsby : Well, maybe we'll get lucky. Catch a dunk. We're due an easy one.

  Teresa Lisbon : Ugh, you shouldn't have said that.

  Wayne Rigsby : Said what?

  Teresa Lisbon : "We're due an easy one." Now we're jinxed.

  Wayne Rigsby : Sorry.

• Chief Arnold Nail : Agent Lisbon, we may have something. One of my officers is engaged in a pursuit off a traffic stop. Driver was acting crazy. Could be our guy

  Teresa Lisbon : [Quietly to Rigsby]  Don't say a word.

  Chief Arnold Nail : Vehicle is a blue Citroen. About 30 years old. California plates.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Loudly to Rigsby]  See what you did!

• Chief Arnold Nail : What possible reason could I have to hurt those women?

  Patrick Jane : Well, Ginger I'm not so sure about yet, but Amber... she found out, didn't she?

  Chief Arnold Nail : You got your killer right there.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, and you were terrified I was starting to believe him. If he was telling the truth about what time he came home that night...

  Teresa Lisbon : Then the security footage doesn't make sense.

  Chief Arnold Nail : What do you mean?

  Patrick Jane : Well, it's unlikely the electric company meddled with it.

  Teresa Lisbon : You had access to the evidence and you changed it.

  Patrick Jane : Amber, the video expert, figured it out. And then you killed her. But what you didn't know is she left a message about what she found on the mayor's desk.

  Chief Arnold Nail : There was no envelope.

  Patrick Jane : Yes, there was. 'Cause I put it there. Now let's see it.

• Teresa Lisbon : CBI employees shall not give anonymous or off the record statements to the media.

  Gale Bertram : And what are the repercussions of said violations?

  Teresa Lisbon : Suspension or termination.

  Gale Bertram : Yes. However, both the Bagshaws are happy. Everyone's alive. You caught the killer.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yes, sir.

  Gale Bertram : Hmph. You-you find the right lever, agent, you can move the world. You found the right lever. That was a smart play.

  [Slight chuckle] 

  Gale Bertram : Only hope you stay smart.

• Gale Bertram : Agent Lisbon, I-I just had a conversation with a reporter from the Examiner and he seemed to know a *lot* about the situation in Crane Creek. I told him that no matter what any unnamed source may say, CBI puts civilian safety first. And we are *not* bowing to local pressure to do otherwise. I also told him that authority in Crane Creek resides with our head agent in the field - you. I've let Bagshaw and his chief know that you're in charge.

  Teresa Lisbon : Thank you, sir.

  Gale Bertram : We'll discuss this again.

• Teresa Lisbon : You don't want to start a gun fight unless you need to. We should get the information first.

  Chief Arnold Nail : If I'm hearing right. There's a group of citizens in there being threatened by a nut with a gun. I don't need to know more than that!
