Quotes 

• Harold Finch : I suppose it's too much to hope she tased herself.

  John Reese : Knowing Shaw, it's possible. But if I had to guess, I'd say she's in trouble.

• Harold Finch : There are more comfortable chairs, if you'd rather. Not to mention a padded bench, which doubles as quite a comfortable bed, albeit a small one.

  Root : And all within the proximity radius programmed into my lovely new ankle accessory. I found out the hard way what happens if I cross it.

  Harold Finch : Just making sure you have everything you need.

  Root : Well, there's no shortage of reading material. That's for sure, Harold.

  Harold Finch : Keeps the mind occupied.

  Root : You know damn well who's supposed to be occupying my mind.

  Harold Finch : I'm afraid that's out of the question.

  Root : I suppose that even if I managed to get access to a wireless device, the Faraday cage you've constructed in here would prevent me from communicating with her.

  Harold Finch : Your powers of deduction are as ever impeccable. And your choice of pronoun - illuminating.

  Root : You're going against The Machine's wishes by keeping me here, Harold. You're only gonna make her angry. Can you imagine what a being that powerful will do when she's angry?

• Harold Finch : Any progress in finding Ms. Shaw?

  John Reese : Her building doesn't have cameras, but the one across the street does.

  John Reese : After some convincing and a sleeper hold.

• John Reese : I'm in, Finch. Care to tell me where?

  Harold Finch : ? The apartment you're in belongs to Ms. Shaw. I promised to respect her boundaries, but for eight hours, our agreed-upon means of contact have gone unanswered.

  John Reese : So you tracked her down.

  Harold Finch : Ms. Shaw may be violent and uncommunicative, but she is never tardy. Something is amiss, and I need you to find out what.

• Timothy Sloan : Raymond Chandler. I grew up reading this stuff. I always dreamed about becoming a detective.

  Harold Finch : Did you try the police academy?

  Timothy Sloan : Turns out they're not crazy about hiring someone who can't shoot straight.

• Timothy Sloan : You check the fridge yet?

  Harold Finch : For a next of kin?

  Timothy Sloan : You'd be surprised what pops up behind moldy leftovers.

  Harold Finch : [Finch goes to the fridge]  Nothing in here but old milk, an enormous quantity of something that used to be pasta, and - Oh, wait.
