Sarah Shahi: Sameen Shaw

Quotes 

• Harold Finch : [after Root sends him an electronic Viagra ad]  In the meantime, I'll try to determine what message this is meant to convey.

  Sameen Shaw : [Amused]  Seems pretty clear to me, Finch.

  John Reese : I think she likes you, Harold.

• Peter Collier : See, I knew we had something in common - many things, I suspect. You're not the only one the government has betrayed. I want your help. See, America's dying. And everybody knows it. It's not just about privacy, it's about principle. Our nation is assassinating people with drones, holding them without due process, and yes, spying on its own people without cause or limits and in direct violation of our Constitution. But we have a plan to stop it, and if you join us, you will not only have your revenge, but you will help write a new chapter in American history.

  Sameen Shaw : You're right about all of it. I did work for the government, and I do want revenge. But if that work taught me anything, it's that how you do matters as much as what you do. And by that metric, you're all just terrorists. And I kill terrorists.

• Root : I heard you skipped breakfast, and you and your Australopithecine coworker can just take the day off. I've been doing just fine without a safety net.

  Sameen Shaw : Look, the only reason you're not stuck in a cage right now is me. Don't make me look bad.

  Root : I couldn't make you look bad if I tried.
