  • Patrick Jane: How'd you know it was me that graffiti'd the bathroom?
  • Principal Snyder: A student told me.
  • Patrick Jane: Well, that's strange, 'cause it was during class, and there was no one else in the bathroom, 'cause I checked.
  • Principal Snyder: Well, somebody saw something, didn't they?
  • Patrick Jane: Mm. You saw something - on your unauthorized security cameras.
  • Teresa Lisbon: What?
  • Patrick Jane: He has unauthorized security cameras hidden in the bathrooms. It's a little creepy, huh?
  • Principal Snyder: I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is simply not true!
  • Patrick Jane: [Opens a cupboard revealing the video feeds] Oh! Oh! Hello! Pervy perv perv!
  • Patrick Jane: How did he get the black eye?
  • Principal Snyder: He said that he was playing basketball with some students after school.
  • Patrick Jane: But you didn't believe him?
  • Principal Snyder: Well, why would he lie? Of course I believed him.
  • Patrick Jane: No, you didn't.
  • Principal Snyder: Well, why would I lie?
  • Patrick Jane: Probably just bureaucratic instinct.
  • Patrick Jane: Perhaps you can help me out. I'm trying to find the delinquents. Well, I found one myself - or at least his shoes - but he managed to get away.
  • Principal Snyder: I don't think they're gonna help you much. Mr. McTierney taught mostly advanced classes.
  • Patrick Jane: Yes, but it's the bad apples that have the real dirt.
  • Principal Snyder: Well why would I lie?
  • Patrick Jane: Probably just bureaucratic instinct.
  • Patrick Jane: You saw something. On your unauthorized security cameras.
  • Principal Snyder: What?
  • Patrick Jane: [to Lisbon] He has unauthorized security cameras hidden in the bathrooms. It's a little creepy, huh?
  • Principal Snyder: I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is simply not true.
  • Patrick Jane: [opens cabinet of monitors] Oh! Oh! Hello! Pervy perv perv!
