Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : I've been checking shoes for years. This is the first time it's *ever* paid off. First time. It's gratifying man. Very gratifying.

  [Jane leaves] 

  Teresa Lisbon : He's a pistol, isn't he?

• Patrick Jane : When was the last time you saw a doctor's handwriting that you could read?

  Teresa Lisbon : So she's precise. Is that what you're implying?

  Patrick Jane : Yes, and the possibility that Dr. Brooke Harper is not a doctor.

  Teresa Lisbon : Because she has penmanship skills?

  Patrick Jane : And she doesn't have that cold, creepy, doctor-y vibe they all have

  Wayne Rigsby : Well, to be fair, not all doctors are cold and creepy.

  Patrick Jane : First day of medical school, they give you a stack of books and a dead human being. That, I'm afraid, will change you. Brooke Harper was warm and emotional.

  Teresa Lisbon : You like her, so she can't be a doctor?

  Patrick Jane : Pretty much.

• Grace Van Pelt : The AMA and Boston General both have records of a doctor named Brooke Harper.

  Teresa Lisbon : See?

  Grace Van Pelt : Uh, but it says here that she's 64 years old.

  Patrick Jane : Wow. She looks pretty good.

  Teresa Lisbon : Is there a word for uncanny, yet irritating?

• Patrick Jane : [to a prince]  Please don't be offended. I-I would've taken your money and given it to a worthy cause. But my friend here is a moralist of childish simplicity. Nice to meet you.

  [Jane leaves] 

• Keith Gulbrand : I'm not in it for the money. You know, music's a... it's a spiritual thing.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah it is. So's money. Everything that exists has a spiritual essence or none at all.

• Patrick Jane : My friend, Cho here, will take you by the wrist so as not to let you escape us again.

  Kimball Cho : Hi.

  Dr. Brooke Harper : Warm hands.

  Patrick Jane : Ah, I bet you say that to all your arresting officers.

• Patrick Jane : That urge you have to get one over on people. The need to be smarter than the next guy. It'll keep biting you in the ass.

  Dr. Brooke Harper : So my butt'll hurt occasionally. I'll still be smarter than the next guy.

• Kimball Cho : All I was able to find at Dr. Brooke Harper's apartment. Bank account emptied, credit cards maxed out. She must have been packed and ready to leave days ago. Her Social Security number and medical license are fakes, too. We have no idea who this woman is.

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, we know that she's smart. She posed as a doctor for seven months, managed to elude you and Rigsby.

  Kimball Cho : Well, she had a head start. She didn't elude us.

  [seeing Jane's expression] 

  Kimball Cho : All right, she eluded us.

  Patrick Jane : Well, she's a professional con woman. I mean, she probably specializes in the seduction of rich and successful, socially awkward men.

  Teresa Lisbon : You think she's done this before?

  Patrick Jane : Oh, yes. Many times.

• Dr. Brooke Harper : If you want to know why I'm at work the same day that my boyfriend is found dead, why don't you just ask me?

  Patrick Jane : Okay. Uh, why are you at work the same day your boyfriend is found dead?

  Dr. Brooke Harper : I have patients who need me, and if I had to sit at home and actually think about Jim being... gone, I'd lose it. Being here, whether it looks good to you or not, is the only way I know how to cope.

• Kimball Cho : What are you doing?

  Patrick Jane : I'm just confirming that Jim Gulbrand's a member here.

  Kimball Cho : Why not just ask?

  Patrick Jane : Go ahead. Ask him.

  Kimball Cho : Is Jim Gulbrand a member here?

  Floor Manager : I'm sorry, sir, we don't divulge membership details.

  Patrick Jane : See?
