* When the VictimOfTheWeek, who happens to be a [[{{AcceptableTargets}} lawyer]], is eaten by sharks, Jane breaks out this gem:

* In the season six finale, Jane is arrested for breaking into an airport to get onto Lisbon's plane and give an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. After he's arrested and taking to a TSA holding room, Lisbon comes into the room, tells him [[TheyDo she feels the same way]], and they have TheBigDamnKiss... and then the TSA guard begins knocking on the window, telling them to stop.

* In "Redline," a group of car salesmen working on commission protest Jane's assessment of them as mercenary figures who don't care about the victim. Jane then comments about how the victim's coveted client list is upstairs, and someone has to take it, but it would be ghoulish to do so right now. After a very short pause, all but one of them start running for the stairway (getting into a fight to slow each other down) as Jane reveals the listicles is in his pocket.

* "Ring around the Rosie": At the end of the show, when the suspected psychopath starts wildly shooting a sub machine gun in the middle of a crowded party, he doesn't kill anyone(because his gun is actually filled with blanks). and then in comes [[DeadpanSnarker Cho]]...

* In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOM747YQ3uw opening scene]] of "Red Bulls", Bosco's team prepares to make a hard entry into a house, and storms in to find... Lisbon's team. Which, thanks to the fact that it's dark, results in a few seconds of everyone screaming at each other to put their hands up until they finally get enough of a look at each other (by flashlight) to realize what's actually going on. And then, for the kicker, Lisbon and Bosco start trading questions and barbs ''while everyone is still pointing guns at each other''. Jane's reaction really clinches it.

* "[[StarWars These aren't the droids you're looking for]]."

-->'''Jane:''' So you may be able to tell me the truth. I've asked around about her but everyone seems to want to just tell me what they think they should tell me. You know what I mean?
-->'''Tara:''' Ugh. ''Totally.'' What do you want to know?
-->'''Jane:''' If you were to describe Cassie in one word, what would that word be?
-->'''Tara:''' ''(thinks)'' She was sleeping her way to the top...if that helps.
-->'''Jane:''' Well, that's a little more than one word. But I'm intrigued. Go on.
-->'''Tara:''' The minute she got here she jumped in the sack with Ed Hunt. And lately, she started seducing Ryan Kasmir. But I don't want to speak ill of the dead.
-->'''Jane:''' They don't really care. They're dead.

-->'''Jane:''' Lisbon! Ah, there you are. I found a ''real'' journalist to tell us the story.

-->'''Tara:''' Everyone treated her like this perfect little angel.
-->'''Jane:''' That must have been very frustrating.
-->'''Tara:''' I had been here for 16 months before she even showed up and in all that time, Hunt and Kasmir never even gave me the time of day. But ''her'' with her East Coast Journalism degree and they were falling all over her.
-->'''Jane:''' And there she was worrying about journalism and while you were throwing yourself at Hunt and Kasmir and ''she's'' the one that ends up with the anchor chair.
-->'''Tara:''' Yeah. I mean no, I mean wh-what?
-->'''Jane:''' Hell hath no fury like a slut outflanked.

* Jane's AppleOfDiscord moment in "Wedding in Red." He does a couple cold reads on the wedding party and a minute later the one bridesmaid (the grooms sister) is complaining about how the bride is such a GrammarNazi with her brother. The bride calls her an UngratefulBastard since she paid for the bridesmaid dress then the ''other'' bridesmaid (a {{Goth}} who asked the team to let her look at the body) asks why the bride didn't pay for ''her'' dress then things spiral downhill from there (including yet another GrammarNazi moment the grooms sister is quick to point out) before the wedding is called off. ''Then'' Jane realized that may have been a bit premature because there best chance of catching the killer is if the wedding continues.

** Jane thinking that the victims brother in law is praying in church when really he's tweeting on his phone.

-->'''Jane''': You guys didn't answer my question. Did anyone narc on me?

* In the second episode, "Red Hair and Silver Tape", Lisbon is chewing out Jane for the illegality of hypnotizing a witness. Cho says that's what he told Jane. Jane shrugs and say that he ''had'' been about to tell Lisbon thatCHo had nothin to do with it and walk away as Lisbon angrily turns on Cho.

-->'''Lisbon''': Crushed my heart like a cigarette.

* ''Rose-Coloured Glasses''
-->'''Lisbon''': Go to Galton, take Van Pelt with you. (To Jane) You, go to hell, take a toothbrush.

* In ''Rose-Colored Glasses'' at a high-school reunion Jane sees how miserable one guy is dealing with his SchoolyardBullyAllGrown up and encourages him to get it out in the open by telling the guy how he feels. Instead, he ends up decking the guy, and starting a brawl across the room as Jane watches and flinches, before a GilliganCut to Lisbon chewing him out.

* In "Red Gold" Lisbon insisting she's fine despite her hurt ankle only to fall over barely to seconds later.

--> Jane points to a notice saying that there's a meeting at town hall on the wall behind them.

* In "Pink Chanel Suit," Jane tries to hurry through a checkpoint and a security guard places his hand on him to hold him back, a known trigger for Jane (see above.) He asks to see Jane's badge, and Jane shows it, and in response, asks to see his badge, which he tries to make a big deal of. He tells Jane that everyone has to go through the checkpoint, and Jane asks if that includes him. He replies that it does, and so Jane tells him "after you." So he goes through the checkpoint, but thanks to Jane's sleight-of-hand meddling, sets off the metal detector every time. Finally, Jane goes through and doesn't set it off, says it seems to be working, and leaves the frustrated guard to go through again and set it off.

--> '''Lisbon: ''(to Jane)''''' See? This is what happens when you tell me things!

->'''Jane:''' Cowboys!

-->*Both start sprinting.*

-->'''Lisbon''': A red herring is what you look into regardless of what Jane tells you.
