Amy Acker: Root

Quotes 

• Root : [Bear is barking at her]  Something's wrong with your attack dog.

  Harold Finch : He appears to be the smart one.

  Root : Why are you still awake? Not bad dreams, I hope.

  Harold Finch : I heard it said once that a pregnant woman may see the face of her unborn child in her dreams. I saw every digit, every line of code as I created it. But you've changed that, haven't you? You found a way to alter the DNA to rewrite the code. Is that how you get it to speak to you?

  Root : You have the relationship with her that you wanted. She respects that. My relationship is more... intimate.

  Harold Finch : Sorry I asked.

  Root : Why are you asking? What's gotten you so upset? Is the big lug in trouble? Has his number finally come up? I don't really care for the man myself, but he means a great deal to you. So if you can see it fit to set me free from this cage, I'll return him to you, unharmed.

  Harold Finch : How could I ever let you go when I know with almost absolute certainty that bad things will happen?

  Root : Bad things will happen regardless. The question is, are you gonna let them happen to your friend?

• Root : Come on, Harry. Let's not pretend that John is your first helper monkey. Exactly how many guys did you go through before him?

• Harold Finch : Breakfast.

  Root : It's 4:00 in the morning.

  Harold Finch : I may not be back in time. I may not be back at all.

  Root : I can't imagine what it must be like for you. After all this time, to have to let go of your creation.

  Harold Finch : The machine is still sending us numbers, Ms. Groves.

  Root : I wasn't talking about the machine. John. It's not too late. I can help you stop whatever's about to happen. Please let me help you.

  Harold Finch : Good-bye, Ms. Groves.
