Michael Irby: Fermin Ordoñez

Quotes 

• John Reese : I recognize their methods. Had a similar experience in Russia. It was a kill box. Didn't work out too well for them. Disabled the GPS. Can't risk them accessing it to track you down.

  Fermin Ordoñez : Who are you?

  John Reese : Just a guy who needed a ride.

• Harold Finch : Must be tough dealing with complete strangers getting in your car every day.

  Fermin Ordoñez : Sometimes. When I look in the mirror at my passenger, I never know if I'm driving around a good guy or a bad guy, you know?

  Harold Finch : I can only imagine. Must make you a good judge of character, though. What do you make of me?

  Fermin Ordoñez : hat's a nice suit. But not too flashy. Except for the pocket square. But you're polite, neat, a thinker. The vest... I don't know, maybe, uh, a professor or, I know. A librarian, maybe?

  Harold Finch : [Smiles]  Why, yes. Of a sort.

• Fermin Ordoñez : You are not a librarian, huh?

  Harold Finch : Don't worry about your cab. A brand-new one's on its way.

  John Reese : And before I forget I owe you cab fare for the day. Think you're gonna like your tip.

• Fermin Ordoñez : Sorry, I'm not in service.

  John Reese : Here's the thing. You're gonna want to give me a lift anyway.

  Fermin Ordoñez : Listen, I'm having a pretty lousy day, okay? You mind, uh, just getting out?

  John Reese : I'm afraid it's gonna get a whole lot worse, Fermin.

  Fermin Ordoñez : I don't want any trouble.

  John Reese : Unfortunately, you and I don't have much to say on that matter.

• Irina Kapp : A friend of mine was in your cab last night. You recognize him?

  Fermin Ordoñez : Er... I see a lot of people every day.

  Irina Kapp : You drove him. Did he leave anything behind? Do not lie to me.

  Fermin Ordoñez : Look, lady, I turn in the cab every night. If someone did leave anything behind I didn't find it.

  Irina Kapp : [on phone, in Estonian]  Koristage see jama ära.

  [Clean this mess up] 

• Fermin Ordoñez : Sometimes I wish that I'd never left Cuba.

  John Reese : You did a brave thing. Leaving to find a better life for your family.

  Fermin Ordoñez : American dream, right? You get a good job, you buy a house. I'd trade all that in just to see my family one more time. To see my son grow up, you know? Ah, he doesn't even know who I am anyway.

  John Reese : I can help you make things right, Fermin. But you've got to trust me.

  Fermin Ordoñez : Do I have a choice?
