The Mentalist

Red John:
I think we have a connection that needs to be honored. I want to say goodbye, I want to apologize for any pain I might have caused you and I want to release you from this curse you've been under.

Patrick Jane:
I'm not under a curse.

Red John:
Doomed to an endless, angry search for a vengeance you'll never have; I would call that a curse, wouldn't you?

Patrick Jane:
I look on it more as a hobby, and I will have that vengeance.

Red John:
"Vengeance". [scoffs] On what? Look at- look at me, I'm just a regular guy! You thought I'd have horns, [scoffs again] right? I'm not a monster. I'm not the devil. I'm just another human being with flaws and vices and problems, just like anybody else. Forget about me. I'm not worth ruining your life over.
