Quotes: The Mentalist (1x02, "Red Hair and Silver Tape")

The body of a girl is found in the fields fully-clothed but bound with silver duct tape. Jane is sure that she is a local and so is the killer. Midway through the investigation, Jane theorizes that this is the work of someone just learning the ropes.

Jane [hypnotizing Raquel]: Raquel, look at me. Before you fall asleep tonight, while you're lying in your bed relaxing and slowly drifting off into sleep, I want you to think of me. Think of me and imagine that you can fly. Imagine that you're weightless. You can float gently into the air if you want to. Safe and calm and serene. You can fly away and leave all your burdens and worries and fears behind you. Imagine that. What a nice feeling it is. Next time you see me, when I say hello, you'll remember that good feeling and you will want to tell me the truth. Because when you do tell the truth, you feel that a heavy weight has been lifted from your shoulders. I'll say hello and you will feel as light as a feather as if you were floating on air. Why don't you sit here a moment and think about that before you go back to work?
Raquel: Whatever. [looks at Cho] Your friend's crazy. Can I go now?
Cho: Yes.
[Raquel leaves the room.]
Jane: Worked on the chicken.

Jane: Yes, I did hypnotize her but...
Lisbon: But nothing. It's unprofessional and it's illegal. It's totally out of bounds.
Cho: That's what I told him.
Jane: I was gonna say you had nothing to do with it, but hey.
Lisbon: You allow him to pull that stuff again and you'll be showing visitors around the state house in a stupid hat.
Cho: Yes ma'am, understood.

Jane: Being sorry is far worse punishment than being dead. Everybody dies; very few people feel truly sorry for the bad things they've done. It hurts.

Jane: Don't fret. I wouldn't seduce you over a meal. That would be very sophomoric.
Lisbon: I didn't think you were trying to seduce me.
Jane: Come on. How could that thought not have entered your head? Your denial that it did intrigues me.
Lisbon: Bite me.
