Quotes 

• Zoe Morgan : You never did tell me your name.

  John Reese : John. My name's John.

  Zoe Morgan : Of course it is.

• John Reese : She does favors for a price. She's a fixer.

  Harold Finch : Assuming that she's the victim, any idea who'd want to take her out?

  John Reese : Who wouldn't?

• Zoe Morgan : You're probably one of those guys that can get out of anything with a paper clip. Where did you learn that stuff?

  John Reese : It's a long story.

• Harold Finch : No photos of family or friends. Some jazz records. She dropped out of law school, no current employer. But she buys a $2 million dollar apartment for cash three years ago. What's she gotten herself mixed up in? Where does she keep the things she cares about? Where do you?

  John Reese : I don't have any things I care about.

• Zoe Morgan : Who the hell are you?

  John Reese : You can say we're in the same business. Fixing problems. I had information that you might be in danger

  Zoe Morgan : Information? Who gave it to you?

  John Reese : You have your people. I have mine.

• John Reese : Let me guess. You're looking to strike a deal with Virtanen.

  Zoe Morgan : No, not this time.

  John Reese : I thought everyone had an angle.

  Zoe Morgan : I know this girl once. Naive. She got a tough lesson on the way the world works. That reminds me of Dana.

  John Reese : Also, they tried to kill you.

  Zoe Morgan : Well, there's that, too.

• Zoe Morgan : You want to get out of here?

  John Reese : Where are we going?

  Zoe Morgan : To do something illegal.

• Zoe Morgan : [about Finch]  Am I ever going to meet this imaginary friend?

  John Reese : He's a very private person.

• Harold Finch : Every person on that list died of heart failure within a year of taking the drug.

  John Reese : Lawson must've dropped them from the study and paid the locals to hide it. Their new wonder drug is a killer.

  Harold Finch : It's 6 people out of 200. That's a 3% mortality rate. If a million people take that drug, 30,000 can die.

• John Reese : Potassium chloride?

  Samuel Douglas : Government uses it for lethal injections. Stops a heart in minutes. Quite humanely, really.

  John Reese : Lucky you.

  Samuel Douglas : Lucky me?

  [Reese frees himself and stabs him with the needle] 

• John Reese : Migraine, huh? I heard that got a pill for that now.

• John Reese : So these people are trying to kill you, and your plan is to break into their office.

  Zoe Morgan : I prefer the direct approach.

• Zoe Morgan : How did you know I was going to be in trouble?

  John Reese : Given your choice of career, doesn't seem like much of a stretch. You might consider a new line of work.

  Zoe Morgan : You're one to judge.

• John Reese : Talbott's a blackmailing scumbag, but hardly a threat. What about her previous jobs?

  Harold Finch : No client list in her apartment. You need to get her talking.

  John Reese : Easier said than done.

• Zoe Morgan : You don't know anything about me.

  John Reese : I know almost everything about you. I know you grew up in a nice house in Yonkers. I know your dad was a city official till he got snared in a corruption case. I know you spent the rest of your childhood in a little apartment in Queens with your mother. About the only thing I don't know about you is why you started doing whatever it is you do.

  Zoe Morgan : My dad was a party man. Machine politician. Did what he was told. Right up until the cops showed up, put the cuffs on him. The local press was camped out on our lawn for weeks. Then this guy showed up, the guy that the party would send to deal with... uncomfortable situations. He said two words. And those reporters? They packed up, and they left, and they never came back. And I realized, that's what I want to be. The person who knows what to say, and always has something to trade.

  John Reese : So what are you going to trade now?

• John Reese : Ms. Morgan, stay out of trouble.

  Zoe Morgan : Not gonna happen. You have my number.

• Harold Finch : I'm working on the audio. Interference suggests it was made on an old PCS cell network, making the recording at least two years old.

  John Reese : I didn't know static had a vintage.

• Zoe Morgan : So you are tracking my cell phone. I know how all the pieces of the city fit together. I know all the players. I know all the angles. And then there's you. You know, I don't understand you. And I don't like things that I don't understand.

  John Reese : Then why did you want me to come here?

  Zoe Morgan : Because I don't have to like you to get some news out of you.
