Quotes
-
Lillian Foster : I can't help thinking that if I'd stayed there, if I had just gone and talked to Alan, he'd still be alive.
Patrick Jane : Mm. Most likely you'd both be dead.
Lillian Foster : With the way I feel, I might prefer that.
Patrick Jane : That feeling with pass.
Lillian Foster : What do you know about that?
Patrick Jane : Enough.
-
Patrick Jane : [Reading a letter] "If fortune is what you seek sincere, the only place to look is hear." Hear is spelled h-e-a-r.
Philip Raimey : I assumed it was a mistake.
Patrick Jane : There are no mistakes. Let's go.
-
Patrick Jane : Lisbon. Lisbon. I - you - this. Lisbon...
Teresa Lisbon : Bite me! We're done for the night!
[Everyone leaves]
Patrick Jane : "Bite me?"
Teresa Lisbon : It's too much?
Patrick Jane : Uh, a smidge. Worked. It's fine. Just a little over the top.
-
Drew Abner : [Referring to a key Jane is holding] I wonder what it opens.
Patrick Jane : Oh, I know what it opens.
Drew Abner : What?
[Jane mimes keeping his mouth closed]
Teresa Lisbon : He's just messing with you. He's mean like that.
-
Deputy Nick Fisher : Appreciate your people coming in on this, Agent Lisbon. I haven't handled many homicides. None, in fact. Frankly, I'm looking to learn from you.
Teresa Lisbon : Not a problem, Deputy Fisher.
Deputy Nick Fisher : Small town. We don't get much trouble.
Patrick Jane : Well, that's a shame.
Deputy Nick Fisher : It is?
Patrick Jane : Trouble's your business.
-
Deputy Nick Fisher : It's a shame. Foster seemed like a nice guy.
Patrick Jane : Oh, that's a lie. You didn't like him one bit.
Deputy Nick Fisher : Well, I... I didn't say that.
Patrick Jane : Yes, you did. You thought he was rich, arrogant, pretentious, an interloper. He wore those trendy architect's glasses. Did you kill him?
Deputy Nick Fisher : Did I...?
Patrick Jane : Hmmm?
Deputy Nick Fisher : No. No. What kind of question is that?
-
Patrick Jane : How did Beckworth make his money?
Philip Raimey : Oh, he was a bootlegger. Very successful one. It's in... that one there.
[pointing to the stack of books in Jane's arms]
Philip Raimey : Second from the bottom.
Patrick Jane : Okay. Thank you. Uh, did... did you ever cross paths with Foster?
Philip Raimey : Once or twice. He seemed pleasant enough; never paid very much attention.
Patrick Jane : You deceitful old bag of bones.
Philip Raimey : Excuse me?
Patrick Jane : You heard me.
-
Victoria Abner : Your aura is fascinating, Mr. Jane. So many hues.
Patrick Jane : Thank you. The mansion's uninhabitable. Why would you want it back?
Victoria Abner : Sentimental reasons.
Patrick Jane : Mmm... nope. No, that's not right. You're closed, furtive. You're hiding something. There's something in that house, isn't there? Something you don't want anyone else to find. Evidence of your guilt, perhaps.
Victoria Abner : That's absurd.
Patrick Jane : No. Yeah, you're right. That is absurd. It's something else entirely. Ah! The treasure.
Teresa Lisbon : What treasure?
Patrick Jane : Walter Beckworth's treasure he hid in the mansion.
Victoria Abner : I wanted my house back because I didn't like what Foster planned for it. He was going to destroy it.
Teresa Lisbon : Foster had only been there a few weeks. How could you have known what he was going to do before he did?
Victoria Abner : In conversation, he told me.
Teresa Lisbon : Ma'am, we find out you're lying, you become suspect number one.
-
Patrick Jane : There's nothing there, Drew. Never was.
Drew Abner : You planted the second clue?
Patrick Jane : Aha. Yes.
Drew Abner : I didn't kill Foster.
Patrick Jane : Don't be ridiculous. Of course you did. Only the killer knew how to get in here via the secret passageway.
Teresa Lisbon : You proved your guilt just by walking in the room.
-
Patrick Jane : The ghost has something to do with Foster's death.
Teresa Lisbon : No, it doesn't because ghosts don't exist.
Patrick Jane : They don't exist in *your* mind. But if you believe they exist then... they exist.
-
Patrick Jane : It's all fake, because my credulous Van Pelt, spirits are smoke and mirrors. And that's all they are.
-
Patrick Jane : What's troubling you, Fisher?
Deputy Nick Fisher : What? Nothing. What are you talking about?
Patrick Jane : That button made your pupils dilate, now you've gone pale. What's up, Fisher? What's troubling you?
Deputy Nick Fisher : Well... it occurred to me that the button could stand for Beckworth, and I got a little chill. That's all.
Teresa Lisbon : Who's Beckworth?
Deputy Nick Fisher : Walter Beckworth. He was the original owner of this house. Built it. Died eighty-something years ago. People say he haunts the place. I've heard the story since I was a kid, but nobody believes 'em.
Patrick Jane : Right.
-
Grace Van Pelt : So what was it?
Patrick Jane : Beckworth was a collector. He collected hundreds of one thing. Some of the rarest, finest examples in the world. Worth *tens* of millions of dollars.
Teresa Lisbon : So what was it?
Patrick Jane : [Jane sniffs his drink] Mmm.
Teresa Lisbon : What?
Patrick Jane : Smells good.
[Everyone realizes what's in Beckworth's treasure]
-
Patrick Jane : Whoever killed Foster was simply trying to scare him from the mansion. It could have been anyone that wanted the treasure. Even you, Deputy Fisher.
Deputy Nick Fisher : [Sarcastic] That's right. I killed him.
Patrick Jane : Did you? You denied it earlier.
Deputy Nick Fisher : Stop doing that.
-
Kimball Cho : Victoria Abner has no arrests but a neighbor took out a restraining order against her. Argument about the neighbor's dog. Victoria got a little in-your-face about it.
Teresa Lisbon : Go and see how mad she really was about Foster buying the mansion.
Patrick Jane : And be sure to ask about the ghost too.
Teresa Lisbon : Do not ask about ghosts.
[Jane starts gesturing behind Lisbon]
Teresa Lisbon : Don't you think I know what you're doing? No ghosts!
