Ah, yet another Christmas episode among the television entertainment world. Yet another reminder I should start buying Christmas presents!

Great singer!

At the fancy charity party:
Cho: Which one is ours?
Lisbon: The one that looks like she blows her nose with 100 dollar bills.
Cho: They all look like that.
Lisbon: Joke.

Cool Oceans 11’s gear the thief used! That’s the way to do a robbing! Reminds me of Leverage, when is that coming back? I miss that show…

Cute how Lisbon tries to hide her smile when Jane does his magic trick!

Oh, naaw what a cute chicken! Adorable!

Right after Jane has entertained the charity guests:
Lisbon: You son of a bitch, you scared the crap out of me.
Jane: Oh please, like I don’t know how to work a fat crowd of suckers.

Jane: You two are brothers, right?
Rich brother: Indeed. It’s nice to see that the case is in such perceptive hands.
Jane: Can hands be perceptive? I don’t think so.

Jane is so funny with his rude questions talking to the rich brothers.

Great, funny dialogue:
Jane: Well, you guys are the professionals here but is it usual that there is a single perpetrator for this kind of jewelry heist?
Lisbon: No, at least two, sometime three or four.
Jane: Then there’s the timing of the robbery. Weren’t those diamonds suppose to be picked up the next morning?
Rigsby: Yeah, 10.15, right when they open.
Lisbon: Gee, you maybe think it’s an inside job?
Jane: Ah, yes I do.
Rigsby: Well, guess what, we are way ahead of you because we’re doing background checks on the whole Doverton staff list.
Jane: My provisional bet, my provisional: Carl Ward.
Van Pelt: Hello, he was shot three times.
Jane: Best accomplice is a dead one.
Rigsby: He’s not dead.
Jane: Nobody’s perfect.
Lisbon: That’s it? Carl Ward is crooked because he got shot?
Jane: That and that he is an ex-tennis pro.
Rigsby: So?
Jane: Shady people. By definition, disappointed, should be on center court Wimbledon, instead he is tossing lobster with rich old ladies. Makes him bitter and twisted.

Love Lisbon’s and Jane’s little bet about Carl Ward, they are so cute together!

And Rigsby and Van Pelt are cute too, I feel for Van Pelt though, they should open up about their relationship. Lisbon would understand I think, she wouldn’t like it but she would understand.

Hahaha, hilarious when Jane tries to smash the diamond! That made the whole episode!

Cho and Van Pelt walk in on Lisbon and Rigsby crawling on the floor:
Van Pelt: What are you guys looking for?
Rigsby: The diamond.
Cho: What did he do?
Rigsby: Hit it with the fire extinguisher.
Cho: Of course.

About the missing diamond:
Lisbon: Keep looking!
Jane: Don’t worry. This is the justice department, who’s gonna steal it here?

Funny, talking to the rehab owner:
Rehab owner: Now, may I ask which one of you needs our help? Or is it both of you?
Lisbon: Actually we just want to…
Jane: It’s her.
[Lisbon gives Jane a look]
Jane: Oh, darling please, can we just this once do it my way? Just once? Thank you. [Turns to the rehab owner] In the beginning it was just social but well more recently it’s been starting to worry both of us. [Shows "drinking" with his hand] Right, darling?

Disgusting, they should really clean more often in that office!

This was such a funny episode! Great! Especially liked the awesome dynamic between Jane and Lisbon!
