Kimball Cho: I see.
D.D.A. Osvaldo Ardiles: Now, personally I think the alibi is bogus, but we had to interview the store owner again. Now he says, uh, maybe his ID was wrong. Maybe it wasn't Lawrence Rome. Whole thing's gone down the toilet. We had an agreement.
Kimball Cho: I agreed I shouldn't help. Didn't say I wouldn't.
D.D.A. Osvaldo Ardiles: From now on, you get nothing from the D.A.'s office. No favors, no help. Not just you, but every agent in this unit. You have screwed things for your people, my friend. Six months from now, Lawrence Rome'll be back inside for ripping off another liquor store, his kid'll be be back in foster care, and the South Side Mafia will be stronger than ever.
Kimball Cho: You're wrong.
D.D.A. Osvaldo Ardiles: You want to bet on that?

Kimball Cho: Do you have his client list?
Wayne Rigsby: Ya. You should see this thing: leaders of industry, royalty, Hollywood stars
Kimball Cho: We need to run them down
Wayne Rigsby: I'm all over it. Already have a call in to Clooney

Patrick Jane: I think this puzzle box is the key. Whatever is in here was important enough to hide, but not valuable enough to put in that safe.
Kimball Cho: What do you think it is?
Patrick Jane: I don't know yet, it's a puzzle.
Teresa Lisbon: Cho, crack it open.
Patrick Jane: Oh, no no no no. It's my puzzle. All mine.

Wayne Rigsby: What did Jane want?
Kimball Cho: He wants us back at the museum.
Wayne Rigsby: What are we gonna do?
Kimball Cho: Museum heist.
Wayne Rigsby: Why?

Patrick Jane: Hey, Cho.
Kimball Cho: Okay, how'd you do that?
Patrick Jane: Well, you tread a little heavier than Lisbon. And Rigsby's car isn't in the lot.
Kimball Cho: We've got a case and Lisbon's busy, so you and I are riding out.
Patrick Jane: Excellent. I'll meet you downstairs.

Patrick Jane: Smells of juniper.
Kimball Cho: Cologne?
Patrick Jane: Uh... I don't... no, more like... cheap gin. Drunken out of necessity, not pleasure. So he drank alone, he let the killer in. He knew him, or her. They argued...
Deb Granger: How'd you know they argued?
Patrick Jane: Well, he is dead.
Deb Granger: What did they argue about?
Patrick Jane: Well, I don't know. What do people argue about? Money? Power? Love? Jealousy?
Deb Granger: Revenge. Sorry, I shouldn't do that.
Patrick Jane: No, jump right in. This is a murder. It's exciting.

Kimball Cho: So if he's not white-water rafting, where is he?
Patrick Jane: Well, I don't know, but I'm sure you two will figure it out. And, Rigsby... Put the cupcake back.

Patrick Jane: What's up, Cho?
Kimball Cho: Are you working this case?
Patrick Jane: I'm always working the case.
Kimball Cho: Rigsby's going to the victim's house, and I've got to talk to some people about drones.
Patrick Jane: Oh! Drones. That's new. Count me in.

Wayne Rigsby: You want anything?
Kimball Cho: Yeah. Coffee, black.
Wayne Rigsby: It's a fruit stand, Cho. They sell fruit.
Kimball Cho: Okay. No.

#86

Jason Cooper: I think I've made myself clear, agents. I have no knowledge of Bret Stiles' whereabouts.
Wayne Rigsby: Yes, Mr. Cooper, and we've made clear that we're not buying it.
Kimball Cho: Stiles leaves you in charge of Visualize, but he keeps you in the dark about where's hiding? Doesn't make sense.
Jason Cooper: Stiles has, and always will, put the church's needs before his own. This time is no different. He doesn't want me to know because he wants to protect me.
Kimball Cho: And because he doesn't want to be found.
Jason Cooper: I doubt Bret Stiles is worried about being found.
Kimball Cho: You seem confident.
Jason Cooper: Call it faith. You see, Stiles' time in our reality is limited. As we speak, he's preparing his mind and body for a departure from the confines of our material world.
Wayne Rigsby: He's dying?
Jason Cooper: That is a very naive, very ignorant way of looking at it. Bret Stiles is not dying. Bret Stiles cannot die. He is elevating himself to another plane. One lesser men like ourselves can only strive to reach. And one some of us obviously can't comprehend.

Kimball Cho: You okay?
Teresa Lisbon: I'm fine. The doctors say Jane's stable. There's no major trauma or anything. He's just not awake.

Kimball Cho: They found the remains of three people. Positive IDs for Bret Stiles, Ray Haffner, and Thomas McAllister.
Teresa Lisbon: Are you sure? I would think Bret Stiles would survive a nuclear attack.
Kimball Cho: The bodies are all burnt to a crisp. But the crime techs did spot DNA tests; coroner's office checked it against medical records. Stiles, Haffner, and McAllister are all positively dead.
Teresa Lisbon: What about Smith? Any sightings?
Kimball Cho: Not yet. Rigsby and Van Pelt are on it.

FBI Agent Denyer: FBI! Back it up!
Kimball Cho: CBI. Back up yourself!

#90

Kimball Cho: They've done six jobs. They must have left us something to work with.
Agent Marcus Pike: Well, they've only slipped up once. We found a glove a few blocks from a gallery they robbed in Phoenix. We managed to get a partial print and we got a hit. Aaron Pulaski. Time for armed robbery and battery. He's also the former middleweight boxing champ at Folsom Prison.
Kimball Cho: And you can't charge a man for owning a glove.
Agent Marcus Pike: Yeah. We brought him in for questioning, but he lawyered up quick and culled the siv. These guys are pros.
Teresa Lisbon: If he's a known felon, we should have his known associates, hangouts, stuff like that.
Agent Marcus Pike: We do, but nothing's popped. Doesn't seem to have a lot of friends, he hangs out a lot at a bar on Sixth Street.
Teresa Lisbon: We could set a tail on him.
Patrick Jane: Ehh, they could be waiting for weeks. Uh, my plan is a little more elaborate, but it's much more entertaining.
Kimball Cho: Of course it is.

Kim Fischer: You ever wonder what Jane thinks about it?
Kimball Cho: Never.
Kim Fischer: Really, why not?
Kimball Cho: My brain would explode.

#92

Kimball Cho: DId you know Madison Price?
Kenyon Russell: No.
Kimball Cho: According to Pam Parsons, Madison visited the camp several times. You never saw her?
Kenyon Russell: Well, that wasn't your question. You asked me if I knew her, which I did not by any reasonable definition of the term. Upon reconsideration, I think it's possible that I did see her once or twice. We never spoke.
Kimball Cho: You told Jane you didn't recognize her picture. Not many people can get an evasion like that past Jane.

#93

Patrick Jane: You're right-handed.
Daniela Welker: Uh, yes.
Patrick Jane: So, that heart on your hand, you didn't draw that?
Daniela Welker: Uh, no. They did.
Kimball Cho: Yeah, we don't know what that means. None of the other girls we rescued had that mark.
Daniela Welker: Guess I'm special.

Teresa Lisbon: Hey, Cho.
Kimball Cho: Hey.
Teresa Lisbon: You got a minute?
Kimball Cho: What's up?
Teresa Lisbon: I got offered a job... in DC.
Kimball Cho: You gonna take it?
Teresa Lisbon: I don't know. Maybe. Don't tell anybody, all right?
Kimball Cho: Okay. It'd be a great move, though.
Teresa Lisbon: You think?
Kimball Cho: Absolutely. You remember the first day we worked together?
Teresa Lisbon: Sure.
Kimball Cho: I almost quit.
Teresa Lisbon: Really? Why?
Kimball Cho: Rigsby
Kimball Cho: And then I saw the way you worked. I knew I had to stay. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you. Whatever decision you make, it's been an honour.

Benson: It's a load of crap, man. You got nothing on me. You're gonna be hearing from my lawyer.
Kimball Cho: We just caught you in a warehouse full of stolen vehicles. You're the one who should be trying to make a deal with me. If you're too stupid to see that, I don't know what value you have for the FBI.

#96

Michelle Vega: Sir, I appreciate you inviting me to work on this case with you.
Kimball Cho: It wasn't my idea. Abbott made me do it.
Michelle Vega: Oh.
Michelle Vega: I did apologize. I understand what I did.
Kimball Cho: It's about trust, okay? If we're gonna work together, I need to be able to trust you with my life. An apology is easy. But trust is earned.

#97

Mrs. Bittacker: He has to be on dialysis in less than an hour.
Dennis Abbott: Oh. Well, that is a problem. Oh, how's this: we'll take his IV pole with us. Well, just while we hold you. Now, I can't say what's gonna happen when he goes back to the 'pen.
Mrs. Bittacker: What's going on? Care to illuminate me, Agent?
Dennis Abbott: Supervising Agent Dennis Abbott.
Mrs. Bittacker: [sarcastic admiration] My.
Dennis Abbott: I'm gonna lay this out in words that are designed to resonate. You're gonna call off the hit on Lily Stoppard. You *will* call it off. And you will deliver us Lydon. Or I won't be able to answer to your son's well-being.
Mrs. Bittacker: I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm truly lost in this conversation.
Dennis Abbott: You want to call my bluff? Well, do it. Please. Because while Ethan suffers, or whatever happens to him, it'll be on you. He's nothing to me.
Mrs. Bittacker: But he's not, is he? He's not nothing to you. You're a lawman. A supervising agent, and he is a citizen. Sure, you may make unhappy or uncomfortable, but you're not gonna let him die. You're too damn ethical for that.
Dennis Abbott: They don't know me, do they, Cho?
Kimball Cho: No.
Mrs. Bittacker: I think I do. And I'm gonna bet my son on it.

#98

Kimball Cho: What we're discussing involves breaking about seven laws.
Michelle Vega: As long as it's only seven.

Kimball Cho: [deadpan] Yes.
Michelle Vega: Are you excited?
Kimball Cho: I don't really think about it that way.
Michelle Vega: Isn't this something you've wanted your entire career?
Kimball Cho: Yes.
Michelle Vega: So be excited about it.
Kimball Cho: I am.
Michelle Vega: Oh. Good. So, are they any changes you're going to make when you take over?
Kimball Cho: Yeah, new rule. Rookie agents are seen and not heard.
Michelle Vega: Good luck with that.

#100

Kimball Cho: This is Rick Tork from the Santa Fe office. He's gonna help out while we're shorthanded.
Rick Tork: Hey.
Dennis Abbott: Dennis Abbott. Thanks for coming. So, how long were you in Santa Fe?
Rick Tork: Uh, just a year. I started out at CBI, made the jump the federal side about the same time as Cho.
Kimball Cho: And he's worked with Jane before.
