Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : All you need is a basic understanding of the evolutionary psychology of women, rigorously and fearlessly applied. You gotta know what buttons to press.

  Teresa Lisbon : Like we're toasters.

  Grace Van Pelt : Like men don't have buttons too.

  Patrick Jane : Men are like toasters. Women, a little more like, uh... accordians.

  [Lisbon and Van Pelt give him dirty looks and leave] 

  Patrick Jane : I thought that was a compliment.

• Patrick Jane : Mr Wolcutt! It's about your wife's lover. We know about the two hundred thousand dollars she gave him, and we know that you know about it.

  Claire Wolcutt : How dare you?

  Patrick Jane : How dare I? Did I do something daring? Am I supposed to be afraid of you?

  Claire Wolcutt : You're supposed to be respectful.

  Patrick Jane : Respectful - you contemptible little buffoon. Your wife just died, and you're swanning around in a monkey suit, drinking punch and laughing with your idiot friends. You want respect?

  [Flicks Wolcutt's nose] 

  Patrick Jane : There's your respect.

• Patrick Jane : There's no business like Cho business!

• Patrick Jane : [watching Agent Cho on a surveillance monitor flirting undercover]  The kid's a natural. Look at him... look at him go. The Cho. No business like Cho business.

• Wayne Rigsby : I don't believe this guy. I give up! I do not understand women. Never have, never will. Seems like the dumber you treat them, the better they like it.

  Grace Van Pelt : They're *drunk* women. You can't generalize all women in general.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Whispers to Jane]  This is your fault.

  Patrick Jane : No, it's not. I'm just sitting here.

• Teresa Lisbon : Wolcutt is on his way down here with a thousand dollar an hour lawyer. If you give him a formal apology, he says he's willing to drop the whole matter.

  Patrick Jane : Hmm, let me think... No.

  Teresa Lisbon : Would you please be reasonable for once?

  Patrick Jane : I'm busy.

  Teresa Lisbon : Right.

  Patrick Jane : I am. I'm just thinking that, uh... he's gonna drop the whole matter in any case.

  Teresa Lisbon : Oh, really?

  Patrick Jane : I guarantee it. He's a shallow narcissist. It's all about image. And this whole business makes him seem small and silly.

  [Lisbon flicks his nose and storms off] 

• Keith Wolcutt : How dare you?

  Patrick Jane : How dare I? Did I do something daring?

  [Wolcutt steps up to Jane, looking down on him] 

  Patrick Jane : Am I supposed to be afraid of you?

  Keith Wolcutt : You're supposed to be respectful.

  Patrick Jane : Respectful? You contemptible little buffoon. Your wife's just died and you're swanning around in a monkey suit, drinking punch, and laughing with your idiot friends, and you want respect?

  [Flicks Wolcutt on the nose] 

  Patrick Jane : Here's your respect.

  [Turns and walks off] 

• Patrick Jane : [Lisbon kicks him as he dozes on the couch]  What?

  Teresa Lisbon : You know damn well what. You assaulted a man.

  Patrick Jane : No, I just tweaked him on the nose.

  Teresa Lisbon : Technically, that's assault.

  Patrick Jane : Technically, he's an ass. He deserved it.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yes, he is, but this is not a schoolyard. You simply cannot do stuff like that.

  Patrick Jane : I did. I did it. And the seas didn't boil and the sky didn't fall.
