Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Hey, you don't talk to people who just walk into the joint!

  John Reese : Lionel... you worried about me? I'm touched!

• John Reese : This was a professional hit. Muzzle impressions were made after the fact, made it look point blank, like the father did it. Cops missed it.

  Harold Finch : And you know that how?

  John Reese : That's how I would have done it.

• John Reese : And here I was thinking we were getting a little closer, Harold.

  Harold Finch : I told you I'm a very private person.

  John Reese : Well, you're gonna need to trust someone at some point.

  Harold Finch : Trust? That's not something I come by very easily. I have my reasons.

  John Reese : Are you ever gonna tell me those reasons?

  Harold Finch : Don't call me, Mr. Reese. I'll call you.

• John Reese : [Enters an elevator, there's three men inside, one is holding flowers]  Those for your wife?

  Businessman : Uh, yes.

  John Reese : I thought your wife liked roses.

  Businessman : Excuse me, do I know you?

  John Reese : No. But I know you, Bill. Little relationship advice, if you're gonna step out on your wife, you need to think it through.

  Businessman : Do you work here? Because if you do, you're fired.

  John Reese : I'm more like an independent contractor. Now, you don't seem like a bad guy, Bill. You and your wife are having some problems. It happens. Well, some women would just leave you. But some women, they might just hire a couple of guys to come to your office, dismantle your surveillance cameras to make it look like a robbery gone wrong.

  [the men behind them pull their guns, Reese is faster, he gets them in the knees] 

  John Reese : I would call the police and a good divorce lawyer.

• John Reese : I need you to pull a file for me.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Yeah. Right after you pull my IAD file. 'Cause they got me one step from fighting off a whole cellblock of degenerates that I sent upstate. They think I'm dirty.

  John Reese : That's because you are dirty, Lionel.

• Solnick : I get it. You're like me. A killer. A genuine bad guy. Then I don't have to explain to you what happened to those people on that boat. You already know.

  John Reese : But what I don't know is why you let the girl live.

  Solnick : I wouldn't have killed the girl. Not even if they paid me my quote. I told her anyone ever knew she was alive, I'd finish the job. I don't kill kids. Had some punk on my cell block last week say he heard I did. I told him the same thing.

  John Reese : Who hired you to do it?

  Solnick : Some guy I met one time. No names. Cash. Who hired you?

• Harold Finch : The number we've received is for a girl named Theresa Whitaker. Some disciplinary trouble, but basically a good kid.

  John Reese : Well, the machine did spit out her number, so she must be caught up in something. Where can I find her?

  Harold Finch : As I told you, Mr. Reese, this situation is somewhat unique. You see, Theresa Whitaker should be right here.

  [Shows him a grave stone] 

  Harold Finch : She was murdered, along with the rest of her family. Two years ago.

  John Reese : So we're looking for a ghost?
