The Mentalist quotes

You were right doctor, there was something I wanted to tell you. I act calm on the outside but on the inside, I'm so angry sometimes I think I'm gonna explode. All the misery and pain that I see everyday makes me wanna scream, but I lock it down. I lock it down because I have to be calm and rational because that's my job, but I wanna pull this trigger. I wanna kill.

Grace Van Pelt: I was just too stupid to see it.
Craig O'Laughlin: Oh, no, you saw it.
Grace Van Pelt: No, I didn't.
Craig O'Laughlin: Not all of it. But you knew there was something. Something a little dangerous under the nice guy stuff. You kind of liked it. You can't open your eyes a little bit, Grace. You got to open them all the way if you want to see the truth of things.
Grace Van Pelt: What are you talking about? Why are you doing this to me?
Craig O'Laughlin: How should I know? I'm just a figment of your imagination.
