A counterfeiter has led two federal agents on his case to Santa Barbara. While Lassiter tries to impress Special Agent Ewing, Shawn is startled to discover that the FBI has its own psychic, a woman whom he flirted with earlier. Shawn is even more surprised by the woman's impressive psychic abilities. This motivates Shawn to do everything he can to solve the case on behalf of the SBPD, and, more importantly, to prove that he is the superior psychic.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Ewing: I'm Special Agent Lars Ewing with the FTD.
Shawn: You're a special florist?
Ewing: (shows his badge) Federal Treasury Department.
Shawn: We have a department that deals exclusively with treasures?
| Ewing: This goes against every federal bone in my body, but who are you guys?
Shawn: I'm not familiar with the federal bone. Is that connected to the hip bone or the knee bone?
Ewing: Well, I can tell you what the knee bone is gonna connect with if you don't get outta my way.
Gus: I'm gonna guess not the funny bone?
| Lassiter: Is that a recording device? Government issued?
Ewing: Asking if that is a recording device is like asking (pulls a pen out of his jacket) if this is a pen.
Lassiter: Is it a pen?
Ewing: That's classified. (mouthing to Juliet) It's a pen.
| Karen: We will meet at the Home Depot tomorrow.
Ewing: Let's say (sets his watch) 0700 hours.
Shawn: Seven hundred hours is almost twenty days. Shouldn't we act sooner?
| Shawn: Dad, I'm confused. These are plans for a wet bar.
Henry: Yeah, that's right, for entertaining.
Shawn: Right, but I don't see anywhere in the plans the portal into 1976.
| Gus: You know I have a coin collection. I've studied tender from around the world. I have over eighty-five buffalo nickels, Shawn.
Shawn: OK, first of all, and this is key, don't ever, under any circumstances, ever admit that to anyone outside of these walls. Secondly, I love utilizing your knowledge, Gus. I can't wait until we have the case of the missing thimble.
| Shawn: You read Ewing's informational packet?
Gus: Cover to cover.
Shawn: That's weird. I just read the cover.
| (Shawn and Gus walk into a car dealership)
Shawn: Wow, this must be what Jay Leno feels like when he walks into his garage. Which makes you Kevin Eubanks.
Gus: I don't think they roll around town together, Shawn.
| Juliet: (about Ewing) Do you think I wanted to pick up my phone at 2 a.m. and hear his voice, all gravelly and masculine? Probably called from the hotel, maybe just got outta the shower, or finished with a swim. Dripping wet.
| Lassiter: Hey, what color is that suit?
Ewing: Black.
Lassiter: Really? It seems blacker than black.
Ewing: It's Washington black.
| (everyone stares at Shawn and Gus as they sit down at a meeting uninvited)
Shawn: What? Did I...did I just sit in something? Gus, do I have pudding on my jeans?
Gus: No, no.
Shawn: Really?
Gus: Shawn, I think we're not welcomed here.
Shawn: (laughing) Gus, don't be a paranoid schizophrenic. We're always welcome here.
| Shawn: You might wanna check the cash from the dealership because it's not all counterfeit.
Ewing: That's ridiculous. If I had learned how to laugh as a child, I would right now.
| Lindsay: Does something smell like pineapple?
Shawn: Pineapple upside-down cake. Would you like some? Wait, before you answer that, are you a fan of delicious flavor?
| (Ewing and Lassiter tell the hotel clerk who they are)
Ewing: Presidential Recommendation for Distinguished Service.
Lassiter: Presidential Physical Fitness Award, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, and I've got a cocktail napkin from Air Force One.
Ewing: I personally arrested Ivan Putski.
Lassiter: I wrestled in high school.
Ewing: What, with your conscience?
| Shawn: (to Gus, about the counterfeiter) Dude, there's linen fibers in that paper. What was he doing, amending the Constitution?
| Shawn: I'm getting a lot more, like five hundred thousand, which would last more than just a while, maybe...maybe a whole lifetime.
Lindsay: That's not possible.
Shawn: It is if you live in one of the Baltic states.
| Shawn: (to Lindsay) Where could we go at this hour that's still open? You know what? I think there's a Color Me Mine that stays open late.
| Shawn: Dude, what time is 2200 hours?
(Gus walks away, annoyed)
Shawn: Gus, buddy, help me out. What is it? Is it, like, 11:00 times two?
| Lindsay: Are you planning on doing psychic police work forever?
Shawn: No. No, just until I find the girl of my dreams. And then I'll whisk her off to Carmel and open a small haberdashery. Do some macramé. Maybe...maybe blow some glass.
| (Lassiter scolds Lindsay for touching the dead body before forensics)
Karen: Lassiter, ease up. We're lucky if our psychic doesn't lick the body.
| Ewing: There's no need to congratulate us for doing what is our job. We don't ask for commendation for what is merely our proud honor of servitude to our country. Perhaps just a small hug.
(Karen and Juliet turn and leave)
Ewing: Just an itty-bitty one.
| Shawn: There is definitely something not right about this cake.
Gus: Maybe because it was baked with a child's oven?
Shawn: We're talking about a Deluxe Easy-Bake Oven, Gus. I paid over $300 for it on eBay. This is hardly a toy!
| (Gus writes something on a piece of a paper and hands it to Mildred)
Gus: Mildred, here. Say this.
Mildred: "Shotgun."
Gus: (to Shawn) Tough luck, buddy.
| Shawn: (to Lindsay) Your DNA was all over, but you covered your tracks by touching the body in front of everybody before forensics had a chance to come in and brush it. Or comb it. Braid it. Maybe put it in pigtails.
