Sameen Shaw quotes from Person of Interest

Dominic

[as 'Mini'] Ain't no long game for guys like me. Just the game. Doesn't make a damn bit of a difference what you do. Or who you do it for. Dominic ain't no different. Just another man like all the rest.

Sameen Shaw

Sounds like this Dominic's a lot smarter than that.

Dominic

Couple years on top, he'll burn out. Or get wasted. Only one rule: we all die in the end.

Root

Where's Tomas?

Shaw

Halfway to Barcelona. He gave me a pretty hard sell trying to get me to go with him... and for a hot second, I almost did.

Root

But...?

Shaw

I guess there are things I care about here.

Sameen Shaw

The Miss Estee Lauder gig pays like crap. If it weren't for the perks—

Lionel Fusco

Perks?

Sameen Shaw

Yeah, the free eyeliner. Well, the five-finger free.

Any insider tips on eyeliner?

Sameen Shaw

Yeah, you might try dialing it back a bit, sister.

Root

Look, I get that you're frustrated, angry, and probably a little bit scared--

Sameen Shaw

Oh, please. I'm not scared.

Root

Well, maybe you should be, because you almost died back there. And Samaritan's operatives are just getting smarter and faster. So while you may not be scared about what could happen to you the next time, other people are. People who care for you. Try to remember that.

Sameen Shaw

How do you talk down a psycho in a bomb vest? [beat] Hello?

John Reese

I was waiting on the punchline.

John Reese

Coolly delivered sadistic warning.

Lionel Fusco

Self-deprecating inquiry into time necessary to infiltrate system.

Root

Funny yet insightful retort.

Harold Finch

Mildly agitated declaration of mission completion. Channel exhortation to further action.

Root

Overly affectionate greeting.

Sameen Shaw

Greeting.

Root

Transparent rationale for conversation.

Sameen Shaw

Annoyed attempt to deflect subtext.

Root

Overt come on.

Sameen Shaw

Mildly embarrassed defensiveness bordering on hostility.

Root

Playfully witty sign off.

Sameen Shaw

Root, no offense. You're hot, you're good with a gun. Those are two qualities I greatly admire. But you and me together would be like a four-alarm fire in an oil refinery.

Root

Sounds cozy.

Root

That didn't suck.

Sameen Shaw

Oh, there was plenty of sucking.

Sameen Shaw

I'm a shape?

Root

Yeah. And, darlin', you got a great shape.

Sameen Shaw

I swear to God, you flirt at the most awkward times.

Sameen Shaw

We need to get to Finch.

John Reese

I got a feeling Finch isn't here anymore. Samaritan didn't want him dead, at least not if they could capture him.

Sameen Shaw

Then why did his number come up?

John Reese

I think it was warning us about what he might do to them.

John Reese

I can't have you sit on the sidelines, Shaw. I need you to decide to fight.

Sameen Shaw

I have made a decision - this simulation sucks!
