Quotes 

• Harold Finch : [as Reese checks his rifle]  I do wish you wouldn't do that here.

  John Reese : When I do it in the park, people look at me funny.

• Harold Finch : Did you get a a good look at the men who were shooting you?

  John Reese : I tried, but they were shooting at me.

• John Reese : Finch, is that feedback?

  Harold Finch : No, I simply made the grievous error of buying Bear a squeaky toy.

• John Reese : Finch, I can't protect her like this. I've got to get close to her.

  Harold Finch : Oh, you're about to. It seems that Maxine's job doesn't afford her opportunities to meet nice men, so she somewhat reluctantly signed up with a popular online dating site. I took the liberty of back-engineering the matching algorithm to make you her ideal man. She really likes that you love dogs.

  John Reese : Wait, you're trying to get me a date with her?

  Harold Finch : Already have, tonight at 8pm. You've been flirting all day.

  John Reese : [Sees Maxine check her phone and laugh]  Finch, what did I just say to her?

  [Finch smiles] 

• Harold Finch : New cuff links I could understand, but buying a $100,000 sports car? Was that really necessary?

  John Reese : Relax, Finch. The car's stolen.

• John Reese : So Maxine wasn't the victim. She was the perpetrator.

  Harold Finch : Unwitting, involuntary, but a perpetrator all the same. With one stroke, the boss wipes out the only witness who could bring him down and destroys the career of a troublesome reporter to boot.

• Harold Finch : Mr. Reese, this may not be over.

  John Reese : You're paranoid, Finch.

  Harold Finch : Be that as it may. I don't think we've the right guy.

  John Reese : Walker was on HR's payroll. He'd have motive to have Zambrano dead

  Harold Finch : Yes, yes and he definitely hired Pitt and bogie to hunt down Maxine but that's what troubles me. The head of HR is brilliant, not the type to hire a pair of washed up feds to gun down a reporter. And Walker? I'm not convinced he has the cunning or the connections to mastermind something this complicated.

  John Reese : If Walker isn't the head of HR, who is?
