- Walter Dang: [to John] Hey, hey, a police scanner. This is the new kind, right? You know, I used to listen to police scanners every night. It helped me fall asleep. You know, a couple years ago there was this, this um, I don't know, this vigilante, I guess you'd call him. He protected people. Drove the cops nuts though. They called him the man in...
- [Realization dawns and he looks at Reese's blank stare]
- Walter Dang: ... the suit.
- Carl Elias: Personally, I don't care much for the illegal gun trade, but someone has to keep it under control. Otherwise this city turns into Chicago. Chicago's a mess, John. It's like a damn Tarantino movie out there.
- Walter Dang: [to John] Hey listen, that uh, that vigilante I heard about? The man in the suit. I didn't tell you the rest. He disappeared a few months ago and crime went up. Violence. Killings. The city needed someone to keep up the fight, so I figured why not me. But, you know... me kinda sucks. So. I invented Detective Forge. All because the man in the suit went away.
- [pause]
- Walter Dang: I was wrong, wasn't I? He wasn't really gone at all.
- John Reese: [smiling] Goodbye, Walter.
- Walter Dang: Oh, by the way, your girlfriend is amazing.
- John Reese: Sameen? Not my girlfriend.
- Walter Dang: Wh-why not?
- Sameen Shaw: That sound is my soul dying, Harold.
- Harold Finch: Walter Dang appreciates your metaphysical sacrifice.
- Elena Mindler: [to Walter who is in a sling after being shot] What happened?
- Walter Dang: It's...
- John Reese: Don't say it.
- Walter Dang: It...
- John Reese: No. Don't say it.
- Walter Dang: [smiling] It's just a scratch.
- Harold Finch: Sameen, can I depend on you to handle any technological issues that the new Number presents?
- Sameen Shaw: No problem. I can do nerd.
- Harold Finch: Are you eating something near my computer?
- Sameen Shaw: ...Maybe.
- Harold Finch: Just don't spill anything. Good luck.
- Beth Bridges: Favorite equation? Come on, I know you have one.
- Harold Finch: Pythagorean Identity.
- Beth Bridges: Okay.
- Harold Finch: I knew you'd disagree. What's yours?
- Beth Bridges: Euler's Identity. It's so beautiful.
- Harold Finch: Beautiful?
- Beth Bridges: Yeah. At first, you don't realize the implications, and then it hits you. It's the five most important constants, E, I, 1, 0 And Pi. All linked together. It's like the secrets of the cosmos distilled into a sonnet.
- Sameen Shaw: Harold, is there a problem?
- Harold Finch: Oh, not at all. It's just that I'm calling you on a satellite phone and not our mesh network. As long as we don't use certain words, it's safe.
- Sameen Shaw: You mean like...
- [Sneezes]
- Sameen Shaw: Samaritan.
- Harold Finch: Yes, like that one.
- Sameen Shaw: Some guy named, uh, Banks Van Hess did text Abel a lot.
- John Reese: About what a stupid name "Banks" is?
- Elias: Years ago back before the icebreakers this water would freeze over in winter sometimes all the way across. It looked quiet almost dead, but it wasn't.
- Dominic: No?
- Elias: No! no, just hidden for a while, but after it's winter period it would roar back to life, the water flowing so fast an unwary man could drown.
- Dominic: So springtime is here, is that it?
- Elias: I have never interfered in your business, I have only conducted my own. You do well to stay clear.
- Dominic: A man is not a river, and you are not a king.
