- Wayne Rigsby: What did Jane want?
- Kimball Cho: He wants us back at the museum.
- Wayne Rigsby: What are we gonna do?
- Kimball Cho: Museum heist.
- Wayne Rigsby: Why?
- Kimball Cho: I stopped asking questions a long time ago. Come on.
- Wayne Rigsby: [Elevator door opens up] And some scientists think that T-Rex could run up to 45 m.p.h. It's an apex predator. Know what that means?
- Kimball Cho: Yes.
- Wayne Rigsby: It means the top of the food chain. It ate everything.
- Kimball Cho: So?
- Wayne Rigsby: So, T-Rex beats Triceratops. I win.
- Kimball Cho: You went home last night and googled dinosaurs, didn't you?
- Wayne Rigsby: Yah, I did.
- Kimball Cho: You have no life. I win.
- Patrick Jane: For memory to be useful it has to be as accurate and as fast as a camera. How many animals did you get Lisbon?
- Teresa Lisbon: Around 30.
- Patrick Jane: And you got them from Linda's office?
- Teresa Lisbon: Yes, I did.
- Patrick Jane: All of the animals came from Linda's office, and that is a place that I have never been. And in a moment, I will turn around and look behind me for just for a few seconds, and I will memorize every animal on those tables, in order, and then I will show you how to do the same.
- Jeanette: How do we know you didn't already memorize them?
- Patrick Jane: Ah, a skeptic, I should have known, and you're right! There's no reason for you to trust me. Paul, would you mind rearranging the animals any way you see fit?
- Paul Friedman: Sure.
- Patrick Jane: Thank you. The human brain, once you get it working right, it can be incredibly effective. The mind can do some miraculous things... like telling the future. Which is what I'm doing right now.
- [He writes something on a piece of paper]
- Jeanette: Bull!
- Patrick Jane: For that, you can be the one who holds the prediction. Science is about predictions, isn't it?
- Jeanette: Predictions based on hard data, not fortune telling.
- Patrick Jane: Ah ha, you say "tomato", I say scientists believe rational thought; in grids, in lists, and classification, which is fine, but it's not how the world works, and it certainly not how the brain works.
- Dr. Sonia Kidd: You're saying people aren't rational.
- Patrick Jane: Well, being rational is a tool, but it's not the only tool we have. Long before we stuffed down knowledge into graphs and charts, we used older and, in some cases, more entertaining ways to remember things. How are we doing there Paul?
- Paul Friedman: I think we're good.
- Patrick Jane: Excellent, now please, I'd like to show you what I'm talking about.
- [whistles]
- Patrick Jane: Lisbon, uh would you mind? Thank you. We can create a memory by building a palace in our minds, we can sing ourselves a song, or tell ourselves a little story.
- [as he talks the camera pans across the line of animals]
- Patrick Jane: A story of a bully, a grey fox, and a little brave man, a rat, who stood up for his chubby little buddy, the toad, and his friend, egghead. A story of a man in a tuxedo who snaked his way through a crowd to meet a women in a colorful dress; a penguin, cobra, three squirrels, and a parrot. The story of flight; an owl, a bat, a moth, all...
- [pauses]
- Patrick Jane: I sense i made a mistake.
- Dr. Sonia Kidd: No moth.
- Patrick Jane: Hmm... well, perhaps my prediction will explain my error. Jeanette, could you read it out loud please?
- Jeanette: "The moth is in Paul's pocket."
- Paul Friedman: Wait, what?
- Patrick Jane: The moth you stole from the table when you were rearranging the animals. It's in your pocket.
- Wayne Rigsby: How can you like TRICEEEEE more than T-Rex?
- Kimball Cho: T-Rex are losers. Little arms. It's a big chicken with teeth.
- Wayne Rigsby: Yeah, and TRICEEEEE is basically a pig with horns.
- Kimball Cho: And a shield on it's head. Beats a giant chicken any day of the week.
- Wayne Rigsby: Ha ha, in your dreams. What did Jane want?
- Kimball Cho: He wants us back at the museum.
- Wayne Rigsby: What are we gonna do?
- Kimball Cho: Museum heist.
- Wayne Rigsby: Why?
- Kimball Cho: I stopped asking questions a long time ago. Come on.
