Camryn Manheim: Diane Claypool

Quotes 

• Diane Claypool : I was concerned that you might disrupt my attempts to get close to Arthur. However, you proved to be quite useful, saving him from those misguided privacy terrorists and arranging it so I could meet your employer, who I've heard so much about. By the way, I didn't catch your last name, Harold.

  Harold Finch : What is it that you want from Arthur?

  Diane Claypool : Just information. The location of his greatest achievement, Samaritan.

  Arthur Claypool : Samar - No. Samaritan was destroyed.

  Diane Claypool : I know the official story, Arthur. I also know about the drives. So where are they?

  Arthur Claypool : [Confused]  I don't know what you're talking about.

  Harold Finch : All right, stop it. He's telling you the truth. He doesn't know.

  Diane Claypool : I'll find out soon enough. And since you and I have had the good fortune of meeting, you can help me recover something else that belongs to me. *Your* greatest achievement.

  Harold Finch : Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that.

  Diane Claypool : One of you is going to tell me what it is I want to know. And whoever does, will be the one who gets to leave here... alive.

• Diane Claypool : I'm Diane. I'm your wife. You just don't remember.

  Arthur Claypool : No. No. Uh, I don't have time for these games. I am on a deadline. I have to fix it.

  Diane Claypool : Fix what?

  Arthur Claypool : Samaritan.

• Sameen Shaw : Mrs. Claypool, do you know of anyone who'd want to hurt your husband?

  Diane Claypool : Arthur? No. He was - is the most gentle man. Why would you ask?

  Sameen Shaw : His security detail.

  Diane Claypool : Oh, them. No. They're just here because of where he worked.

  Sameen Shaw : And where was that?

  Diane Claypool : The National Security Agency. He would not want me to tell you that, but I don't really see the point in hiding it anymore.

  Sameen Shaw : Your husband must be a pretty important guy.

  Diane Claypool : I wouldn't know. He never talked to me about his work, so I finally just stopped asking, and then we kind of stopped talking altogether.

  Sameen Shaw : Talking's overrated.

  [Diane glances at her] 

  Sameen Shaw : I mean, that must have been really hard.

• Diane Claypool : Doctor? Why do you have a gun? What happened to his guards?

  Sameen Shaw : We have to go.

  Diane Claypool : Why?

  Sameen Shaw : Because there are people coming after your husband.

  Diane Claypool : What kind of people?

  Sameen Shaw : The kind you need a gun for.

• Arthur Claypool : [about his wife]  How come I remember you and not her?

  Harold Finch : Because tumors do mysterious things to memory. It's like you said. Your file system is corrupted.

  Arthur Claypool : [Shakes his head]  No. That's not it. I remember Diane. Diane is dead. I buried her two years ago, on June 12, 2011.

  Sameen Shaw : You do remember.

  [Turns to Diane] 

  Diane Claypool : I suppose this was inevitable. And seeing as how time is a luxury we no longer have - Hersh.

  Hersh : Perimeter is secure, ma'am.

  Sameen Shaw : Ma'am? He works for you?

  Diane Claypool : As did you at one time, Agent Shaw. I assume you always wanted to meet me.

  Sameen Shaw : Control.
