Mentalist Trivia - Improvised Scenes
For @katebeckets and @whydoyouhavetobefictional.
All the improvised scenes (that I know about) in the show. If you know anymore, please let me know. If I remember any more, I will add them to the list.
1x14 - 'There's no business like Cho business' is an adlib from Simon Baker
S1 - the conversation between Wayne and Grace about carrots and the bloopers of this scene is hilarious.
5x02 - when Charlotte (Dove Cameron) rolls her eyes at Jane (Simon) and he says don't roll your eyes at me
5x04 - Jane's handshake with the mob boss
EDIT 5x14 - the poker scene that was gifed by @tmsource and @katebeckets. Robin dealt those cards to Simon on their second take and Jimmy Gadd (our lovely editor) decided to use the scene in the show.
EDIT 5x21 - when Robin hits Simon on the arm as she is driving and her smile immediately afterwards. He then mentions anger management classes referring back to 3x20 Redacted which is her punishment for punching a suspect for Jane.
ADDED 5x22 - Robin had a hand injury which is why she is wearing a cast on her wrist so the dialogue between her and Simon about it was improvised.
ADDED 6x22 - according to a tweet by Emily Swallow, Simon actually hurt his ankle when filming the airport scene so Jane limping and sitting with his leg propped up is not scripted!
7x05 - the final scene when Jisbon are talking about their future plans. You can tell as Simon's accent slips into Aussie and he directed the episode so kept it in.
7x13 - the crazy dancing of the cast was scripted but the selfie between Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt was an improv.
ADDED 7x13 - the triple kiss between Jane and Lisbon was an improv according to a tweet by Robin Tunney as she stated she had 'never seen a lip wipe in a script'.

I like the little details like Rigsby's tie not being as neat as Cho's, and how Rigsby almost always wears diagonal striped ties while Cho wears subtle textures or small geometric patterns. Rigsby is a little more brash, a little more conventional -- Cho is understated, muted. They work really well together and play to their strengths.

Magnum P.I. episode 5.03 “Number One With A Bullet”
Characters: Gordon Katsumoto, portrayed by Tim Kang
Type of whumps: fought against an armed man, cut and stabbed, grimacing and collapsed to the ground, in hospital with stitches on his forearm, grimacing and sighing, arm into a sling, manifestly avoided from his former collegues, scratching his head in frustration, threatened by mob gangster, sighing, pointing out of his bloody shirt (plus bonus: Rick’s brief whump)
Enjoy the slow motion...
(thank you @vikujir for your input ;)

I know you, dad. These people, work people, they just think you're the scary, serious guy with the poker face. But I know the guy they don't get to see. The one on the inside, who's got a big heart.
