Quotes 

• Zoe Morgan : A little advice: if you're going to do something wrong... do it right!

• Harold Finch : Thank you for meeting me on such short notice, Ms. Morgan.

  Zoe Morgan : I work when I'm needed, Mr...

  Harold Finch : Harold please.

  Zoe Morgan : I am curious how you got my number.

  Harold Finch : Mutual friend. He assisted you on a Delicate negotiation with a certain pharmaceutical company.

  Zoe Morgan : So you're the guy on the other end of the phone. How is John?

  Harold Finch : On the run, as usual.

• Harold Finch : Our client was at congressman Delancey's fundraiser.

  Zoe Morgan : As a guest?

  Harold Finch : The shooter.

  [Gets a look] 

  Harold Finch : He was framed. We're looking for the actual shooter.

  Zoe Morgan : Well, you boys certainly do like a challenge, don't you?

• John Reese : I hear we have you to thank for catching Matheson.

  Zoe Morgan : Glad I could help. Although there is a matter of payment. Buy me a drink?

  John Reese : You once told me a story about a guy who could say two words that would make the reporters go away. Ever figure out what he said?

  [Zoe smiles] 

• Zoe Morgan : Whoever killed Delancey, it goes way beyond politics. Prior to running for office, Delancey owned a contracting company. D. A. 's office has quietly been preparing an investigation into the company for several months.

  Harold Finch : How do you know that?

  [Zoe gives him a sly glance] 

  Harold Finch : Never mind.

  Zoe Morgan : There were allegations of corner cutting and payoffs to city inspectors.

  Harold Finch : Strange way for Delancey to run his business, considering his anti-corruption platform.

  Zoe Morgan : It is. But he wasn't running the business.

  Harold Finch : Matheson Delancey's campaign manager.

  Zoe Morgan : And business partner.

  Harold Finch : For two years, Delancey is in full-time campaign mode not really running the day-to-day of his business.

  Zoe Morgan : So the bribes and the corner cutting they must have happened under Matheson's watch.

  Harold Finch : Unless he could say Delancey was really running things.

  Zoe Morgan : Which he could if Delancey wasn't around to defend himself.

  Harold Finch : Even if this was true, we have no proof that Matheson had Delancey killed.

  Zoe Morgan : [Smiles]  Let's go get some.
