The Mentalist (2008-) is an American crime procedural television series about a private investigator who uses his skills of observation to help the police solve crimes.

[Jane gets into his car to realise Charlotte is there]

Jane:
Still here.

Charlotte:
You're still tripping.

Jane:
It would seem so.

Charlotte:
You really shouldn't be driving. And you especially should not be driving an ambulance.

Jane:
[looks around to see that he's actually in an ambulance] Well that was some strong tea...[sees Lisbon approaching] Oh-oh.

Lisbon:
Now you're stealing an ambulance!

Jane:
No! I'm just admiring the interior. Wicked GPS. How much you think one of these rigs goes for?

Lisbon:
You need bed rest!

Jane:
I need to go back to the crime scene.

Charlotte:
What's her story? She have a boyfriend?

Jane:
Be quiet.

Lisbon:
I didn't say anything.

Jane:
I was talking to the hallucination.

Lisbon:
In bed. Now.

Jane:
When I was in the victim's kitchen I made a break through in the case. At least I thought I did. That's about when the wacky tea kicked in.

Lisbon:
Fine, I will have Van Pelt come down here with crime scene photos.

Jane:
Not the same, I have to be there. Hallucinations are part of the subconscious, mine could be clues.

Lisbon:
We'll go when you're lucid!

Jane:
When I'm lucid I could forget everything. But right now, let me tell you, right now my visions are very very real.

Lisbon:
In other words, you wanna use drugs to solve a case.

Jane:
Some great minds did their best work on hallucinogens.

Lisbon:
Now you have a great mind?

Charlotte:
Uhuh! I like her!

Jane:
Oh you're funny. Double act, huh?

Lisbon:
Jane, you're scaring me.

Jane:
Teresa, you can call me Patrick. Drugs is not the path I would choose, but it's been chosen for me, so I must stay the course. Please, I implore you, take me back to the crime scene.

Jane:
You're gonna regret this someday.

Lisbon:
What?

Jane:
Well this, this paperwork. Every night you file it and forget it. You know what it's like? It's like cooking a beautiful meal and putting it straight into refrigerator, forever.

Lisbon:
You could help.

Jane:
No, I couldn't.

[LaRoche enters Lisbon's office]

Lisbon:
So, what's your report gonna say?

LaRoche:
It will say that agent Risgby acted appropriately and with sound judgment when he used lethal force against Moss. Good work. You got away with it.

Jane:
Me?

LaRoche:
Well I can't make a case, but you chose a remote location for the meeting, you set up a situation in where Moss had to flee. And there, by chance, was Risgby.

Jane:
Well, I'm flattered. You flatter me, but I can't take credit for that.

Lisbon:
Moss didn't have to run, I would have brought him in.

LaRoche:
The plan did require Moss to put his own head in the noose. Small gamble Jane had to make to keep everyone's hands clean.

Lisbon:
Moss fired his gun!

LaRoche:
So you all say. And, of course, Moss can't tell his version. And now Rigsby has taken perfectly legal revenge against the man who killed his father. You think it will effect him?

Jane:
Well I think it's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do.

LaRoche:
Perhaps. I suppose Rigsby will never know. Agent Lisbon, my report will reflect that you made a mistake in calling agent Rigsby on the scene. An error in judgment.

Lisbon:
Yes sir, it was.

Jane:
Yeah, Lisbon didn't call Rigsby. I did.

Lisbon:
Jane!

LaRoche:
Of course you did. Agent Lisbon, your instincts to protect your team are admirable, and your biggest flaw.

Jane:
Yes, but we all have our flaws. Don't we, agent LaRoche?
