Quotes 

• John Reese : I know you won't carry a gun, but if I'm sending you back in the field, you're getting some basic self-defense.

  Harold Finch : Oh, I really don't think...

  John Reese : No, listen up. If Trask comes at you, put your fingers straight out like this and strike at his eyes.

  Harold Finch : Poke him in the eyes? That's your technique?

  John Reese : No that's YOUR technique. And if that doesn't work you can always take your thumb, jam it in his eye socket and twist until you hit his brain.

  Harold Finch : Please stop...!

• John Reese : Just feeling a little restless here, Finch...

  Harold Finch : Use the cushion!

• Harold Finch : You're not tailing her to work?

  John Reese : [In a wheelchair]  I'm getting pretty good at this thing...

  Harold Finch : Yes, I'm sure the CIA will be deeply impressed... when they shoot you!

• Harold Finch : Don't you have anything to unpack?

  John Reese : [Pulls out gun]  I travel light.

• John Reese : How's it going with Lily?

  Harold Finch : This may be the best-catered stakeout in history.

  John Reese : Don't eat in the field, Finch. Never know when you'll have to move fast.

• Harold Finch : When the phone company puts in your wi-fi, the password is your phone number. Most people never even change it. The other ones might actually take a minute. Once we're in, we can turn every webcam, nanny cam, security system, and laptop on the network into our eyes and ears.

  John Reese : Just like the machine.

  Harold Finch : I suppose If one apartment building were the entire world.

  John Reese : [Looks at a screen]  Well, Lily the cook seems to be dating Rick from the penthouse.

  Harold Finch : Hmm.

  John Reese : [Looks at another screen. There's a very fit woman doing a fitness routine]  And Amber in 714 is... healthy.

  Harold Finch : Somehow I doubt that's what alerted the machine.

• Harold Finch : You know, his name isn't Ernest Trask, it's Ernesto Machado. He used to own six nightclubs in Miami, a yacht, house in Coral Gables, and...

  [Hands him a photo] 

  John Reese : A pet tiger. It was all true.

  Harold Finch : Even the part about it being bad for his health. He testified against the Cuban mafia in 1996. Still a price on his head.

  John Reese : He's in Witness Protection.

  Harold Finch : That's why you couldn't find Mrs. Trask. She came with him from Miami, but without the houses and the clubs she didn't last long. She left him, moved in with relatives - In Boca Raton.

  John Reese : How'd you find all that out?

  Harold Finch : I'm good with computers.

  John Reese : Be honest, Finch. There is no machine, is there? It's just you.

• Ernie Trask : I'm the super. Name is Trask. I tell you that already?

  John Reese : Twice.

  Ernie Trask : I guess I'm getting old. It seems like yesterday I was partying till dawn down in Miami. Used to own six nightclubs down there. You know, I had a mansion in coral gables, a white bengal tiger. Had to give all that up. Bad for my health. What about you? Where you from? What do you do? How'd you wind up in that chair?

  John Reese : I had a rough night.

• Harold Finch : Trask is armed, has a dangerous fixation on Lily, and just chased me up 3 floors. Safe to say he's our perpetrator!

  John Reese : I don't know Finch. You sure you don't want to check with your Machine?

  Harold Finch : Yes... that joke never gets old...!

• Harold Finch : Everything alight?

  John Reese : Yeah, I'm just sick of being cooped up and, uh, staring at screens all day.

  Harold Finch : I'd rather be doing that than trudging around half of Manhattan. I have half a mind to spot Lily cab fare.
