Quotes 

• Francine Trent : Are you the CBI Agents?

  Patrick Jane : Yes. She does the detecting, and I do the insulting.

  Teresa Lisbon : Uh, consulting.

  Patrick Jane : That too.

• Teresa Lisbon : Now that Quick's been fired for trading an MRI machine for a kidney, let's hope that the hospital's transplant program stays on the up-and-up.

  Kimball Cho : Yeah, there's an endless supply of doctors like Quick in the world.

  Teresa Lisbon : Way to see the bright side.

• Teresa Lisbon : Golf. I don't get it.

  Patrick Jane : Pointless. Absurd repetitive activity. Very good for clearing the mind. All these stalls here - mental washing machines.

• Patrick Jane : I'm off to the cafeteria for something deliciously suspended in gelatin.

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm not even going to ask you where you're really going. You want to know why?... I don't have to know.

• Teresa Lisbon : I want you to know that my re-instatement is in no way a reflection of your abilities. You did a great job.

  Kimball Cho : I know.

  [Loudly] 

  Kimball Cho : Hey guys, come on in.

  Wayne Rigsby : [Rigsby and Van Pelt enter]  So we have a question.

  Teresa Lisbon : If there's a group hug coming, I am so out of here.

  Grace Van Pelt : [Van Pelt chuckles]  No hugs. We're going out for a drink to celebrate the return of Cho. Want to join us?

  Teresa Lisbon : Guys, thank you. I can't I got a lot of paperwork to do, and there's a management meeting. Next time.

  Wayne Rigsby : Right.

  Grace Van Pelt : Good night.

  Wayne Rigsby : Next time. Good night.

  Kimball Cho : Night, boss.

  Teresa Lisbon : [the team leaves]  The price of power.

• Teresa Lisbon : Are you for real? We've had to endure your surprise visits for months. You've named your killer. She's on the run. Why do you keep showing up at my crime scenes?

  LaRoche : Because this morning I...

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't even want to hear it! The second Hightower's replacement is annouced, I am going to put in a formal request to keep you away from me!

  LaRoche : As I was saying, this morning I was assigned to take over Hightower's duties, which includes overseeing this team.

  Patrick Jane : Oopsy-daisy.

  LaRoche : I appreciate your candor, and I'm going to honor your request. Agent Cho.

  Kimball Cho : Yeah?

  LaRoche : I'm putting you in charge of the team as of right now. Agent Lisbon, you report to Cho. Good day.

• Kimball Cho : If I'm in charge, I have to be in charge for real.

  Teresa Lisbon : I will back you 100%. You're a senior agent. Show 'em what you've got.

  Kimball Cho : You sure?

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm positive. I'll clear out my office for you this afternoon.

  Kimball Cho : I don't want your office.

  Teresa Lisbon : I told you it's o...

  Kimball Cho : I prefer no walls between me and my team.

• Kimball Cho : Listen boss.

  Teresa Lisbon : Don't call me "boss." I'm not your boss. You're my boss.

• Teresa Lisbon : Wasn't my catch. Cho gets the credit. He's a good leader. You were right about him.

  LaRoche : I'll include your sentiments in his file, as well as a commendation in your own.

  Teresa Lisbon : Thank you.

  LaRoche : You are back in charge of your team, effective immediately.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Quietly]  What?

  [pause. Then louder] 

  Teresa Lisbon : What?

  LaRoche : You're back in charge.

  Teresa Lisbon : No, I heard you... Why was I pulled off in the first place?

  LaRoche : Maybe I was messing with you... And it showed you I won't tolerate any disrespect... That'll be all.

• LaRoche : [appearing without notice]  Lisbon?

  Teresa Lisbon : We really need to get you a bell.
