Quotes 

• John Reese : You're not gonna believe this, Finch. Shaw just got made by a ten-year-old.

  Sameen Shaw : What kind of a weird-ass kid uses counter-surveillance tactics?

  John Reese : I got it from here. But I think you freaked her out a little.

  Sameen Shaw : It's mutual.

• Sameen Shaw : Hey Finch, how much do you know about chemistry?

  Harold Finch : [slyly]  Enough.

  [smirks] 

  Harold Finch : [Minute later, an entire building explodes] 

• Genrika : What if I don't like it?

  Sameen Shaw : You lived with Vadim, you can live anywhere. And it's supposed to be one of the top schools in the world. Not every kid gets to become the ward of a reclusive billionaire. Now if you're ever in trouble again, call this number.

  Genrika : [Holds out her grandfather's medal]  Don't sell it, okay? I know it won't mean much to you, but it'll mean a lot to me that you have it.

  [Puts the medal in Shaw's hand] 

  Sameen Shaw : I'm just not wired for this kind of stuff, kid.

  Genrika : I know. I figured you out. It's not that you don't have feelings. It's just like the volume is turned way down. Like the sound on an old tape. The voices are there. You just have to listen.

• Genrika : Why would a small agency care what happens to me?

  Sameen Shaw : We're not any agency. We're just a... I don't even know what we are. To be honest, I'm only in it for the dog.

  Genrika : You guys have a dog?

• Genrika : What's your name?

  Sameen Shaw : Not important.

  Genrika : Well, who are you? Why are you here? How'd you know I was gonna be in trouble?

  Sameen Shaw : [Turns to her phone]  How's it going, John?

  John Reese : Still clearing our extraction route, same as I was two minutes ago.

  Genrika : Who's John?

  [Shaw is silent] 

  Genrika : Is he your friend?

  [Shaw is still silent] 

  Genrika : Is he your boyfriend?

  Sameen Shaw : No.

• Genrika : What's wrong with you? I mean, why are you like this?

  Sameen Shaw : You know that thing that made you flinch? I don't get that.

  Genrika : You don't get scared?

  Sameen Shaw : Or sad. Or happy or lonely. I do angry okay, but that's about it.

• Sameen Shaw : Where's the girl?

  Peter Yogorov : That's HR's deal. The cops might kill a kid. My people have standards.

• Sameen Shaw : [Holds up a drug bag]  You know where they make this stuff?

  Peter Yogorov : I just handle distribution.

  Sameen Shaw : Ever try it?

  Peter Yogorov : Hell no. My body's a temple.

  Sameen Shaw : Have you left the country in the last six months?

  Peter Yogorov : No.

  Sameen Shaw : Ever had unprotected sex?

  Peter Yogorov : Why? You offering?

  [Shaw just gives him a look] 

  Peter Yogorov : No.

  Sameen Shaw : Ever had hepatitis, malaria, Chagas disease, or babesiosis?

  Peter Yogorov : What the hell is this about?

  Sameen Shaw : I need blood. So I'm taking yours.

• Harold Finch : Mr. Reese, we need to have a talk about Ms. Shaw.

  John Reese : Uh...

  Harold Finch : Don't worry, I've got us up on a private line. Look, it won't do to save this little girl's life only to have her scared to death by Ms. Shaw. Perhaps it would be best if we kept her at arm's length from Ms. Zhirova.

  Sameen Shaw : Fine with me, I hate kids.

  Harold Finch : [Surprised]  Ms. Shaw?

  Sameen Shaw : What, Finch? You think I didn't bug your office?

• Sameen Shaw : Get HR on the phone.

  Peter Yogorov : [Calls Simmons]  Someone wants to talk with you.

  Sameen Shaw : Put the girl on the phone, or I paint the walls with Yogorov's brains.

  Genrika : Shaw, is that you?

  Sameen Shaw : Hang on, kiddo. I'm coming for you.

• Sameen Shaw : So I, uh, disobeyed some - Pretty much all of your orders. Am I fired?

  Harold Finch : On the contrary, Ms. Shaw. I think you finally got the job. Now about that bug in my library...

  Sameen Shaw : Haven't found it yet, have you?

• Sameen Shaw : Finch. I think I might know what this is all about. Gen has this whole building wired, and it looks like someone found out what she was up to.

  Harold Finch : Any idea who?

  Sameen Shaw : [Turns to Gen]  Did any of the people you ever recorded talk about committing any crimes?

  Genrika : Lots of them. I bugged anyone who looked suspicious.

  Sameen Shaw : Did it ever occur to you that that might have been a really bad idea?

  Genrika : I was just trying to get the drug dealers out of my building.

  Sameen Shaw : Did you give the tapes to anyone?

  Genrika : Not yet. New York's just like Russia - you can't trust the cops. I was waiting till I had something on the dealers that was too big to ignore.

  Sameen Shaw : Yeah, they're not ignoring you, kid.

  Genrika : Well, I know that now.

• Eric Mathers : Look, Belinda, or whatever your name is you just saved my life. How can I ever possibly...

  Sameen Shaw : [Starts walking away]  Ugh. All done here, Finch.

  Harold Finch : Not to be a stickler about etiquette, Ms. Shaw, but I believe that Mr. Mathers was in the midst of thanking you.

  Sameen Shaw : You paid me to save him, not listen to him talk.

• Sameen Shaw : So now you live with, um-...

  Genrika : Vadim. We're, like, third cousins or something. He's supposed to be taking care of me now. Which means he gets an extra 200 a month and a free place to live.

  Vadim Loginov : They should pay me twice that to put up with her. Always sneaking around, taking pictures. Crazy little girl thinks she's a spy.

  Genrika : I'm just practicing for my career.

  Sameen Shaw : Career doing what?

  Genrika : International espionage.

• Genrika : [after Genrika is almost kidnapped]  Any idea what this is about?

  Sameen Shaw : Do you know who those men were or why they tried to grab you?

  Genrika : Probably because I'm a spy.

  Sameen Shaw : [to Finch]  She doesn't know.

• John Reese : Bear found blood, Shaw. A lot of it. And he seems to think it's yours.

  Sameen Shaw : I'm fine.

  Harold Finch : I'm sending you the address of a doctor who owes us a favor. John can track the man with the tremors. And I think I finally have the means to determine why she was abducted. I've recovered Gen's tapes right where she said they were. A girl after my own heart.

  Sameen Shaw : I know this went sideways, Finch. But you can't bench me for every mistake.

  Harold Finch : I'm not punishing you for an error. I'm protecting you because you're hurt. You've done enough, Ms. Shaw. We'll take it from here.

• Harold Finch : Ms. Shaw, everything all right?

  Sameen Shaw : Do you know who took Gen?

  Harold Finch : Not yet. But I can't help noticing that you are nowhere near the doctor that I recommended. In fact, you seem to be -
