Episode Quotes

Sam Bosco: I'll handle it. Will you please trust me?
Teresa Lisbon: I'm sorry. You don't understand. Later you will.
Sam Bosco: Are - are you medicated or something?
Teresa Lisbon: Okay, I'm all right! I'm fine. [Notices everyone staring at her] WHAT THE HELL IS EVERYBODY LOOKING AT? I'M FINE! JUST STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! I'M DONE WITH THIS CRAP! I AM DONE! Get out my way! I'm sick of everybody!

Teresa Lisbon: [to Dr. Carmen] 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.

Teresa Lisbon: Cho and I have a trial meeting with Deputy AG.
Kimball Cho: Not if I throw myself into oncomin traffic first.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): When Lisbon is taking the polygraph, one of the data streams on the display is her EKG. Polygraphs measure heart rate, respiration rate, and galvanic skin response (related to moisture/sweat on the skin). There are no EKG sensors, and no measurement of EKG.

Trivia

The scene in Lisbon's apartment gives us interesting insight into the character. You see a baseball in a glove on the shelf and a red sports shirt with a 17 on it along with some trophies which could indicate that Lisbon was in a successful baseball team at college or high school. You also see a lot of post-its on the wall and a basket with knitting stuff along with a lot of books about "Leadership". The photo of her three younger brothers seems to be older, which could indicate that Lisbon doesn't see them very often anymore.
