The Best James Panzer Quotes

Patrick: So James, what's your deal? You've devoted your life to the capture of a serial killer. That's either very saintly or very weird.
James: That's a very odd notion coming from you. I know about you, Mr. Jane.

Patrick: You said he's a purist. A man who kills simply for the pleasure of it. I'm starting to think he's a deeply damaged man who kills our of a need for attention - neglected as a child, I guess. What do you think, Jim?
James: Well, I think you couldn't be more wrong. Look, I know the San Joaquin Killer better than anyone, as you yourself have said. I've spent over a year inhabiting his mind. This man is brilliant. He's a genius who runs circles around the police... He's killed at will without repercussions. This man is to be feared - not pitied.

James: Red John was an accomplished killer, no doubt. And I applaud you for ridding us of him. But there's no comparison to the San Joaquin Killer. Red John was a common sociopath: lazy, sloppy, delusional.
Patrick: You really have no idea what you're saying.
James: Red John is dead! And the fact that he allowed himself to be caught and killed by you proves my point. Compared to SJK, Red John was nothing. An amateur already forgotten.

James: Oh uh, congratulations by the way.
Patrick: Thank you. For what?
James: You killed Red John.
Patrick: Oh right. Yes.
James: What was it like?
Patrick: Yeah, uh, not as satisfying as you might think.

James: I know what you're doing. You think I'm stupid.
Patrick: Yes.
James: You're not going to ruin this for me.
