Patrick Jane : [having a gun pulled on him] There's three reasons I'm not scared. Well, okay, I'm scared, but there's three reasons I'm not terrified.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : Please tell.
Patrick Jane : One, you don't get to be your age, rich and unimprisoned by shooting people willy-nilly on golf courses.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : Until now. You know what consistency is?
Patrick Jane : The hobgoblin of little minds.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : Right. Emerson. Okay, reason number two?
Patrick Jane : I can significantly improve your golf game.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : You and hundred other buckalahs. Reason number three?
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : I know where to find Eddie Russo.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : [after a tense pause, he nods and his bodyguard lowers his gun] How do I improve my game?
Patrick Jane : Well, it's very simple. It's easy. You have to think of hitting the ball more as, uh... an act of creation. What you need is a little more flow.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : Flow?
Patrick Jane : Mm-hmm.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : I changed my mind. Shoot him.

Patrick Jane : Well, I'm finished talking with you.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : Hey, what are... what are you, Al Pacino all of a sudden? People don't act that way with me!
Patrick Jane : I do, when there's witnesses around.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : [to his associates] What are we gonna do with this guy? He's got a screw loose.
Patrick Jane : You know, you think you have a certain outlaw charm about you, and you do, but you live by oppression. In reality, you're just a greedy, twisted little sadist.

Patrick Jane : [dialing a number on his phone and handing it to Van Pelt] When someone answers, can you say "Is Mary there"?
Grace Van Pelt : Why?
Patrick Jane : Just for fun.
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : [at the golf course, Battaglia is on the other end of the phone call] Huh?
Grace Van Pelt : Hi. Is, um... is Mary there?
Santino 'Sonny' Battaglia : No, lady, it's the wrong number.
Grace Van Pelt : [hanging up] Wrong number. What was that about?
Patrick Jane : Groundwork.
