Ashley Johnson: Patterson

Quotes 

• [Agent Patterson informs the team about Jane's next related tattoo crime] 

  Jane Doe : Which tattoo is this connected to?

  Patterson : So, this... square and diamond design is an exact match with the truck logo. And I couldn't figure it out, but the symmetry made me think of mirror images, which led to geometric shapes...

  Kurt Weller : Can we get back to the robbery.

  Edgar Reade : [Reade sarcastically comments]  Hold on a second, I want to see how she cracked it. It might inform the case.

• [Dr. Borden gives Agent Patterson advice about what to do with her dinner reservations] 

  Dr. Borden : I think you should go.

  Patterson : What?

  Dr. Borden : To the dinner. I think you should go. Instead of trying to bury yourself in your work and forget about David, why don't you take the night to celebrate him? Go to that restaurant, have a glass of wine, toast David and all the wonderful memories you have with him.

  Patterson : I - I don't know. That just seems... I mean, he's gone.

• [Dr. Borden tells Agent Patterson about the grieving process she has over David's murder] 

  Patterson : I'm supposed to move on, right? I mean, that's... the healthy thing to do?

  Dr. Borden : Well, like I said, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. Sometimes allowing yourself to indulge in memories of a loved one is the best way to get closure.

  Patterson : [Patterson sighs]  Should I be paying you for this or...

  Dr. Borden : [Borden smiles]  Well, let's just call this two friends talking, hmm?

• [Agent Patterson tells Asst. FBI Deputy Director Mayfair to look into Jane Doe's case] 

  Patterson : We look at the connections between the players and the cases we've solved. The government institutions, even the locations of the crimes. There must be some clue that points us to who did this to Jane and why. But right now, my entire team is stretched thin just investigating the tattoos as they come up.

  Bethany Mayfair : You need more people.

  Patterson : I need a lot more people.

  Bethany Mayfair : The director's looking for cuts, not added expenditures.

  Patterson : I understand, but this is the most important case that the bureau has.

  Bethany Mayfair : I agree... but everybody feels that way about their cases.

• [Agent Patterson talks to the imaginary David at their dinner table] 

  Patterson : This was a mistake.

  David : I know, you're more of a bullet girl.

  Patterson : Just... coming here.

  David : We love it here.

  Patterson : David, you're dead.

  Patterson : Details, details.

• [last lines] 

  Patterson : [Agent Patterson solves the crossword puzzle]  'Got one... Patterson.'

  Patterson : [Patterson looks to the imaginary David sitting across from her]  Wait, you put this in for me. Got one what? Did you solve another tattoo?
