  John Reese : Passed the bar in '04, gave it up to go back on the force.

  Harold Finch : It's impressive, Mr. Reese.

  John Reese : Impressive lady. Honest to a fault.

• John Reese : [Finch is attaching a camera to a figurine]  Didn't know you collected dolls, Finch.

  John Reese : Fusco's into dolls?

  Harold Finch : He is now, if we want to keep eyes on Detective Carter.

• Harold Finch : Where are you?

  John Reese : At the scene of a homicide, wondering how the machine can see one and miss another.

  John Reese : Whose number came up?

  Harold Finch : Mutual friend of ours: Detective Carter.
