- Sameen Shaw: Multiple shooters above you, Reese. Get clear, now.
- [Targets the Russians]
- Sameen Shaw: You gonna ambush somebody, use a muzzle suppressor. Losers.
- John Reese: [Getting shot at] Shaw, a little help here?
- Sameen Shaw: I would have taken the head shot, but Finch gets annoyed when I kill people.
- [Shoots]
- Sameen Shaw: In the arm, through a brick wall, in the dark. You're welcome.
- [the person falls out the window]
- Sameen Shaw: Oops.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: I thought it would be good for us to resume our dialogue. I know that you'd rather be talking to the voice, but you're gonna have to settle for talking to me.
- Root: What do you want to talk about?
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: I'd like to talk about something real, Robin. I know you're very smart. I'd love to know what you're really thinking, so why don't we start with the truth?
- Root: The truth? The truth is a vast thing. I see that now Just how much truth there is. Where would we even begin? The truth is you are not very smart. In fact, you're only the 43rd smartest person in this building.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: 43rd, hmm? Okay, did your voice tell you that? That's based on what?
- Root: Every standardized test you ever took averaged together, not including your medical boards, which you cheated on. The truth is you smoke an average of nine cigarettes a week in the parking lot when you think no one's looking. The truth is that you visit a massage parlor once or twice a month, that you pay for it with crisp $100 bills that you get out of the cash machine at the 7-Eleven across the street. The truth is that you fantasize on online forums about having sex with some of your patients, though not me yet. I guess I'm not your type. The truth is, God is 11 years old. That she was born on New Year's Day, 2002, in Manhattan. The truth is that she's chosen me, and I don't know why yet. But for the first time in my life, I'm a little scared about what's going to happen. The truth is, my stuck here for now, and the only "dialogue" you need to be worried about is between me and her. Which is why you might want to give me my phone back, because we're having an argument. Would you like to know the truth doctor? About what we're arguing over?
- Root: [Doctor looks worried] Whether or not I'm going kill you.
- Sameen Shaw: Our leatherneck has a nice weapon. This is gonna be fun.
- John Reese: Just remember... no shots to center mass.
- Sameen Shaw: Ah, but it's a shame to waste a rifle like this on kneecaps.
- John Reese: I'm sorry. Are you guys closed? It's a bit tense in here. Can I make a suggestion?
- Devil Dog #1: What the hell are you doing here?
- Maksim: Who is this, cop?
- John Reese: Concerned third party. I've got no stake in this except for helping my friend Jack out of here with the same number of holes he had in him when he came in.
- Maksim: What's your point?
- John Reese: ...40 cents on the dollar?
- Sameen Shaw: Reese, no offense, if the vigilante thing doesn't work out, I'm not really seeing a future for you in conflict resolution.
- John Reese: Celebrating or commiserating?
- Jack Salazar: Both. RJ took the rap for everything. Captain gave me a desk-drawer reprimand and two days swabbing the deck. I got an hour left of liberty before I gotta get back on the ship.
- John Reese: So what's the plan now?
- Jack Salazar: Captain thinks I could make it through buds, become a seal, but after what happened, I'm not so sure about the military anymore. Thought maybe there was a chance for a normal life after my tour's up, like those two.
- [Glances at a nearby couple]
- John Reese: The military's full of good and bad, just like the rest of the world. A guy like you could do a lot of good.
- Jack Salazar: I was forced to join in the first place.
- John Reese: What, you think you're the first kid to have to stand in front of a judge and pick door number two? Turns out, I was good at it. Maybe even made for it. So are you. With your talent, it probably won't be long before the CIA comes knocking.
- Jack Salazar: So what should I do?
- John Reese: That's up to you. But in a few years, when the guys from Langley show up... say no.
- Harold Finch: Fleet Week! An annual deluge of drunken sailors that somehow does not qualify as a military attack.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: Look, some of the patients have complained about you talking late into the night, And since cell phones are strictly forbidden and you have no roommate, I can only conclude that you're talking to yourself. Is that correct?
- Root: You wouldn't understand.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: Try me.
- Root: I have a direct line to a higher power. It speaks to me.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: I see. So you're hearing voices. What are those voices telling you to do?
- Root: It's just the one voice really. It wants me to stay here, to work through some issues.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: And what issues would those be?
- Root: Methodology. We're discussing how I go about things.
- Dr. Ronald Carmichael: You're not alone. All these news reports about government monitoring our digital lives, recording texts, emails, phone calls, It's unsettling. You know, it's easy to feel violated, even paranoid. Let me ask you this: do you have feelings that you're being watched?
- Root: [Looks at security camera] Every now and then.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Don't worry. I'm a cop.
- R.J. Phillips: [Hopeful] Bomb squad?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Homicide.
- Jack Salazar: Who are you people? Where am I?
- Harold Finch: You have a bullet lodged in your shoulder, Mr. Salazar, a gift from a very angry group of force recon devil dogs, whom I can only assume live up to their name. Now, Ms. Shaw has medical experience, so either you can either let her retrieve the bullet, or we can continue to discuss the matter until you contract sepsis.
- Jack Salazar: [Turns to Shaw] Sure you know what you're doing?
- Sameen Shaw: I've been shot. A lot.
- John Reese: [after saving a guy's life and he just runs away] You're welcome. They never say thank you.
- Joss Carter: Yeah, I wonder why. Maybe if you figure out a way to save them before all hell breaks loose.
- John Reese: Thanks, Carter. You know, for what it's worth, You're looking kind of badass in that uniform.
- Harold Finch: I appreciate you resolving this situation, Ms. Shaw. However, perhaps in the future, you might try to complete your assignments without quite so much violence.
- Root: [to her therapist] The truth is that you fantasize on online forums about having sex with some of your patients. But not me, yet. I guess I'm not your type.
- John Reese: If Jack's like most sailors, it's booze, broads and a tattoo; in that order.
- Harold Finch: I suppose you know the usual haunts.
- John Reese: Sure. It's two for one boiler makers in Hell's Kitchen.
- Harold Finch: [Makes a face] That sounds horrible.
- Jack Salazar: Don't know how I wound up here.
- John Reese: I do. Same reason you got into a fight with those jarheads. You stand up for people you care about.
- Jack Salazar: Lotta good it's done me, huh?
- John Reese: We'll see. You can't be something you're not.
- Jack Salazar: Yeah? And who am I?
- John Reese: You're a good guy, Jack. You just haven't figured it out yet.
- Harold Finch: Nicely done, Mr. Reese. I realize now I never did hear how you came to enlist in the army.
- John Reese: 'Cause I never told you, Finch. I'm a very private person.
- Root: The truth? The truth is a vast thing. I see that now. Just how much truth there is? Where would we even begin? The truth is, you're not very smart. In fact, you're only the 43rd smartest person in this building.
- Don Juan: Can I be honest? I only asked you out 'cause you're drop-dead gorgeous. But after sitting down, really getting to know you over dinner, I realized I think you might be the most fascinating woman I've ever met.
- Sameen Shaw: Yeah, I bet you say that to all the girls. In fact - I know you do. And after you get into their pants, you get into their bank accounts, Just like you did with Paula Scarlatti. Poor Paula was so heartbroken, she told her mobbed-up old man. He and his gangster pals just put a big fat bounty on your head. And can I be honest? I only went out with you because of them.
- R.J. Phillips: You're gonna need to pick that up.
- Jarhead #1: Or what, squid? One of you splittails gonna do something about it?
- Jack Salazar: He's gonna have to take a swing at you. Then your knuckle-dragger buddy over here is gonna jump me. After I introduce his face to the bar, I'm gonna put this foot upside of your jarhead Upon which all hell breaks loose. And nobody wants that.
- John Reese: [Listening] I like this guy, Finch.
- Scarface: [In Carter's face] Thanks... For helping my Boss
- [Exits]
- Carl Elias: [to Carter, smirking] Looks like you made a friend.
- John Reese: Can't say we didn't already know, Finch. First time we met, Shaw shot me.
- Harold Finch: I realize that Ms. Shaw is an effective asset, But I'm not sure I can work with somebody who refuses to carry a cell phone off the job.
- John Reese: People out there are trying to kill her, you know.
- Harold Finch: Some of the same people that are trying to kill us.
- John Reese: Looks like I lost Jack. Finch, how many squids are there in the city right now?
- Harold Finch: Approximately 6,000. Why do you ask?
- John Reese: I think we're gonna need backup just to find them. All hands on deck.
- Devil Dog #1: We told you to come alone. You brought the suit, So now he's a guest at our party. He tries to leave, we hit a button, RJ explodes. You try to move RJ, he explodes. You understand me, squid?
- Jack Salazar: I get the gist.
- Devil Dog #1: Destroy your phone. There's a cab on the curb that'll take you to the next location, alone.
- John Reese: You walk out that door, Jack, you won't come back.
- Jack Salazar: RJ's my friend. You said it yourself. I can't be something I'm not.
- Sameen Shaw: Harold, the exchange went pear-shaped.
- Harold Finch: Yes, I heard. Can you follow Mr. Salazar?
- Sameen Shaw: Not an option. He's long gone.
- [Looks at rifle sadly]
- Sameen Shaw: Never even got to take this baby out for a test drive.
- Carl Elias: What happened to time off for good behavior?
- Joss Carter: That assumes you've been good. We had a deal, you keep a low profile.
- Carl Elias: Why else would I be enjoying my Barolo in a basement?
- Joss Carter: Your man's been seen in Crown Heights, Russian territory.
- Carl Elias: It's all Russian territory now.
