Jim Caviezel: John Reese

Quotes 

• John Reese : [after Finch is shot]  First time's the worst, huh?

  Harold Finch : Why would you ever choose a career where this is an occupational hazard?

  John Reese : Well, I tried to quit, but some jackass told me I needed a purpose.

• John Reese : How'd you find us?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Dog showed up at the precinct with a message from Cuckoo Clock to meet at this intersection. Didn't know she meant you and this guy.

  [Fusco gestures to Hersh] 

  John Reese : Vigilance caused the blackout. They set up a kangaroo court to go after anyone tied to the machine.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : What machine?

• John Reese : Give me a call if you get in over your head.

  George Hersh : Next time I see you, I'll probably have to kill you.

  John Reese : Well, you're welcome to try.

• John Reese : Why don't you take a lap around the block, Lionel?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : What, why?

  John Reese : 'Cause we're gonna need some gear from that sporting goods store up the street. It'd probably be best if the NYPD isn't around when we smash in the front door.

• George Hersh : Oh, dear. I think I might be in over my head.

  John Reese : [In a gun fight]  I'm a little busy myself.

  George Hersh : Unless you're looking at a big-ass bomb wired to blow when the power comes back on, I think I win.

• George Hersh : [after getting directions from Root]  So we're going to 23rd and 5th because?

  John Reese , Sameen Shaw : It's complicated.
