Quotes 

• Lionel Fusco : How many countries you think there are in the UN? Like 50-something?

  Sameen Shaw : [sighs]  193. You know, you really should get out more. Learn something about other cultures.

  Lionel Fusco : What are you talking about? I just ate a falafel.

  Sameen Shaw : Yeah, and you got some on your tie.

  Lionel Fusco : [Looks down]  Aww, that's the second tie this week.

• Lionel Fusco : All these fat-cat diplomats travel all over the world, eating on someone else's dime while they talk about feeding the poor.

  Sameen Shaw : Maybe you ought to consider applying for a passport.

  Lionel Fusco : I have a passport. My ex and I went to Saint Thomas for our honeymoon.

  Sameen Shaw : You mean the *US* Virgin Islands?

• Lionel Fusco : [Sitting in a car]  Thanks for the sandwich. But why do you gotta drag me all the way up here, just to watch your girl snap a few memories?

  Sameen Shaw : When's the last time you saw a New Yorker from The Village take tourist photos at the UN?

  Lionel Fusco : Mm. That's a good point. If you're so smart, what do you need me for?

  [There's a knock on window] 

  NYPD Patrolman : You can't park here! Security precaution.

  Lionel Fusco : [Flashes his badge]  Yeah, I got one of those.

  Sameen Shaw : Way to make yourself useful, Lionel.

  Lionel Fusco : You know, I don't understand all the hoopla with the UN anyway. Bunch of silver-spoon bureaucrats, if you ask me. And don't even get me started with the extraterritorial privileges either.

  Sameen Shaw : Oh, I should've just stolen a badge.

• Sameen Shaw : Our girl's got more foreign contacts than Reese and I combined.

• Sameen Shaw : This delivery of a mysterious package? Sounds like pre-operational tactics.

  Harold Finch : Tactics? Of what?

  Sameen Shaw : A terrorist cell.

  Harold Finch : If Maria were a relevant number, she would fall under the government's purview.

  Sameen Shaw : Maybe the machine got its wires crossed. Ever since it's had that cochlear cuckoo on speed dial...

  Harold Finch : I fail to see how its relationship with Ms. Groves has anything to do with this.

• John Reese : Baghdad for masguf.

  Sameen Shaw : Saddam knew his fish. I'll give you that. But shawarma?

  [Chuckles] 

  Sameen Shaw : Beirut, hands down.

• Maria Martinez : Who the hell was that?

  Sameen Shaw : French Algerian. With a Maserin bolt knife. I'd say French Foreign Legion. You've made friends all over the world, Maria.

  Maria Martinez : Foreign Legion? Why would they wanna kill me?

  Sameen Shaw : I don't know. I don't speak French.

• Sameen Shaw : What's up with the Evel Knievel stunt?

  John Reese : They didn't teach you that in Marine jump school?

  Sameen Shaw : Only if a 5-cent piece of lead won't get you out the door.
