Pruitt Taylor Vince: J.J. LaRoche

Quotes 

• J.J. LaRoche : Whatever happens, I want to thank you for trying to help me.

  Patrick Jane : Well, truth is, you're a hard man not to help, LaRoche. You're like a Shar-Pei puppy that's rolled onto its back. You have to rub its belly.

  J.J. LaRoche : You're mocking me.

  Patrick Jane : No, no, I'm happy to rub your belly.

  J.J. LaRoche : That won't be necessary.

  Patrick Jane : I hope not.

• Patrick Jane : I didn't take it.

  J.J. LaRoche : I know that, Patrick. It's your favorite blackmail device. Your puppet mastery over me ends if... Its contents becomes public knowledge.

  Patrick Jane : I never thought of you as a puppet.

  J.J. LaRoche : You ever thought of me as a friend?
