Quotes 

• Darren McGrady : Didn't know cops could pick and choose which calls to answer.

  John Reese : Never said I was a cop.

  Darren McGrady : So, what are you, then?

  John Reese : One of these days I'll have to come up with a good answer for that one.

• Darren McGrady : Yo I didn't hire you to just sit here and watch. When are we gonna take them down?

  John Reese : We've already started. Step one: Observe.The most efficient way to lose is a fight is to act without knowing your enemy.

• John Reese : [Darren drops a pile of bills and a quarter on the table]  What's this?

  Darren McGrady : It's all I got left. I want to hire you to help me take down those guys who killed my brother.

  John Reese : So, if I'm not a cop, I'm a mercenary, is that it?

  Darren McGrady : No, I figured it out. You're a ronin.

  John Reese : A ronin?

  Darren McGrady : Yeah, a ronin. It's like a samurai with no master. Technically, you should have killed yourself. That's the code. But instead you're out wandering the land, helping people. So now I'm paying you to help me.

  John Reese : I'm not for hire.

  Darren McGrady : You can't stop me from going after them. But I have a better chance with you there.

  John Reese : [Thinks it over]  There's no way to convince you to just lie low, huh? You can keep your money.

  Darren McGrady : Nah, man. Take it. It makes it official.

  John Reese : No. If we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it my way. That means no killing.

  [Takes the quarter] 

  John Reese : This is my going rate.

• Harold Finch : I'm not sure I'm in favor of your troubling arrangement with young Darren.

  John Reese : I'm not sure I'm in favor of our troubling arrangement, especially when you disappear on mysterious business.

  Harold Finch : [Ignores this]  GPS is up, Mr. Reese.

  Darren McGrady : Who are you talking to?

  John Reese : Tech support.

• John Reese : My friend on the police force will be able to put Brick and his friends away.

  Darren McGrady : Yeah, but what about Andre? He's still out there.

  John Reese : Andre didn't kill your brother. Now you want to go after him too?

  Darren McGrady : Hell, yeah. He's just as to blame.

  John Reese : Then what, hmm? Go after Andre's bosses The corrupt cops and the politicians that let them operate? You won't be able to stop until you destroy everyone you blame for taking your brother's life. It won't bring him back.

• John Reese : Fusco tells me they got a lead on a foster family.

  Darren McGrady : I had a family.

  John Reese : Darren, we don't get to choose what happens to us Just what we do about it. I looked into them. They're good people.

  Darren McGrady : And if they aren't?

  John Reese : I'll take care of it.

  [Holds up the quarter] 

  John Reese : I'm, uh, still on the clock.

• John Reese : I pulled some strings. You'll be starting at that charter school for the arts.

  Darren McGrady : My trumpet!

  John Reese : They got drawing classes too.

  Darren McGrady : They got drawing classes too. Is that right?

  John Reese : Remember, opportunities multiply as they're seized.

  Darren McGrady : Sun Tzu Right. Hey, don't worry, man. Someday you'll find a home too.

• Darren McGrady : Hey, you ever kill anyone?

  John Reese : Yes.

  Darren McGrady : Were they bad?

  John Reese : Some. Not all.

  Darren McGrady : Some? That means your master tricked you, told you to kill bad people that really weren't. A lot of ronin ended up that way.

• Darren McGrady : So... Step three?

  John Reese : To impose your will on your enemy, make for their weak points.

  Darren McGrady : Oh. Talking Art of War.

  John Reese : You read Sun Tzu?

  Darren McGrady : Of course, man. All samurai know Sun Tzu.

• Darren McGrady : Man, these cops let these guys do whatever they want - Kill my brother, walk around like they can't be touched.

  John Reese : But now we know how they're making their money. So they just got a lot less untouchable.

  Darren McGrady : Ah "Observe".

  John Reese : To tell you the truth, I've always hated observing.

• Darren McGrady : Now we know who's weak, who's in charge, and how to hurt him. What's step six, man?

  John Reese : Well, that's the fun part.

• Darren McGrady : Curtis and Trim. I'm calling 'em out.

  Keach : You trying to get yourself killed, Scrappy Doo? You're beginning to wear my last nerve.

  Darren McGrady : You might be scared of 'em, but I'm not.

  Keach : You about to get yourself tossed, dwarf.

  John Reese : [Appears behind them]  Not unless you care to follow him.

• Darren McGrady : Sorry I thought you were a cop.

  John Reese : Nothing wrong with cops... just bad ones.
