Root quotes from Person of Interest

Root

Well, we don't have enough horsepower. Normally I'd loot a Best Buy, but...

Harold Finch

Yes, but without the Machine providing you a cover identity, you're grounded... or, rather, undergrounded.

Root

That didn't suck.

Sameen Shaw

Oh, there was plenty of sucking.

Harold Finch

Harold Finch

[Finch is at a wedding, with the pretense of being an estranged uncle from Ireland. At the wedding reception, he is brought onstage, and asked to sing with his- "Uncle Ralph's"- renowned voice. Finch faces the waiting audience and is petrified. He speaks, with an Irish accent... ] Does no one remember that I suffer from stage fright?

[the groom says to the audience] Just being modest, Uncle Ralph!

Harold Finch

Uh...

A little liquid courage will cure that. [Pushes a glass of liquor into Finch's hand]' Don't be nervous, just sing, whatever comes to mind.

Harold Finch

Good lad. Cheers. [Finch downs the whole glass. Long silence. The audience looks on] Um.. [Approaches the mic. Long silence. He haltingly starts to speak lyrics, with the cadence of an Irish protest song - the actual song's original melody is unrecognizable] We've got the right to choose it. / And / there ain't no way we'll lose it. / This is our life, this is our song. // We'll fight the powers that be, just / don't pick our destiny, 'cause / you don't know us. You don't belong.

Root

[whispers to Reese] How come Harry never sings to us?

John Reese

He doesn't sing to you?

[the chorus] We're not gonna take it / No, we ain't gonna take it / We're not gonna take it anymore.

John Reese

Finch better sing louder, cause we've got some serious ass to kick.

Root

Silly me. I brought a knife to a gunfight.

Sameen Shaw

Root

Sameen Shaw

Root

These guys are really pissing me off. Can you get me the 338?

The 338?

Root

The really big gun, and a hair scrunchie.

Harold Finch

[Panicked] Are you hit?

Root

I'm fine, Harry. I'm just fine.

Root

Sir, if you don't mind my asking, is everything okay?

John Greer

Perfectly fine, Ms Groves. The Senator is merely a messenger bearing news of resistance from those who still cling to the grand illusion of democracy.

Root

They'll never truly appreciate all that Samaritan's given to them. They're not capable - they're just bad code.
