Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : Funny thing about the list. I... I'd rather not share it with you.

  Bob Kirkland : I get it. It's been your pet project for a long time. Mine, too. But you will share it with me.

  Patrick Jane : What if I just give you one name to start? Robert Kirkland.

  Bob Kirkland : Interesting. Makes sense, actually. But it doesn't really help me with my cause, though, does it?

  Patrick Jane : No, I suppose not. I was wrong about you. You're not Red John; you're hunting him, same as me.

  Bob Kirkland : Not exactly the same. I'm wiling to kill seven people to get the job done.

  Patrick Jane : Touché.

  Bob Kirkland : Why aren't you?

  Patrick Jane : 'Cause that would make me a murderer.

  Bob Kirkland : You're planning on murdering Red John. That doesn't make any sense.

  Patrick Jane : Okay, so we... we... we both have different approaches, but the important thing here is that we share a common goal. We can help each other if we work together.

  Bob Kirkland : I'm not interested in working together, and I doubt you are, either. We both want our revenge, and only one of us is going to get it.

• Bob Kirkland : Do you have siblings, Jane?

  Patrick Jane : No.

  Bob Kirkland : I had a twin brother, Michael. We were very close growing up.

  Patrick Jane : I hear that's a strong bond.

  Bob Kirkland : Our father was a sadistic drunk. Beat the crap out of us, and our mother. Beat her until she couldn't take it anymore.

  Patrick Jane : She left?

  Bob Kirkland : Yeah, with a razor blade. After that, it was just me and Michael. I was all he had.

  Patrick Jane : You were the stronger one.

  Bob Kirkland : Yeah. I grew up, I got away, but Michael couldn't do it. He stayed at home and watched our father drink himself to death.

  Patrick Jane : The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

  Bob Kirkland : You're right. Michael turned to the bottle. Drank like his life depended on it. I paid for treatments, I took him to meetings; nothing worked.

  Patrick Jane : Until?

  Bob Kirkland : Until one day he met someone. A man who could help him.

  Patrick Jane : More than a man. A savior.

  Bob Kirkland : Yeah. Red John. He only asked for a few simple things in return.

  Patrick Jane : Devotion and sacrifice.

  Bob Kirkland : Michael drifted further and further away, 'till one day he was gone. I never saw him again.

  Patrick Jane : You think Red John killed your brother.

  Bob Kirkland : Yes. I never found him, but in my heart, I know.

  [heavy sigh] 

  Bob Kirkland : Look at me blab. I... you're not my therapist. I didn't bring you here to talk. Please tell me who the suspects are.

  Patrick Jane : No.

  Bob Kirkland : Have it your way.

  [picking up a pair of gardening shears and advancing on Jane] 

  Bob Kirkland : You understand I'm gonna have to torture you?
