Dominic quotes from Person of Interest

Dominic

[to Elias] A man is not a river, and you are not a king.

Dominic

Guy like Elias knows there's more to playing the game than just money. There's the game within the game.

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.

They always underestimate you. The Booker kid stole from us too.

Dominic

Little man's got a good head on his shoulders. That kind of kid should be working for us. Spring his mom. Make sure he knows we pulled the strings. The boy will find his way back to us. Hearts and minds.

What about that cop Riley? And that bitch that was helping him?

Dominic

Still trying to figure out what game they playing.

Seems like they're not playing by no rule book.

Dominic

Cop's dangerous, but he's no different than us. There'll always be cops like there'll always be gangsters. Only one rule.

What's that, Dominic?

Dominic

"We all die in the end."

Carl Elias

Years ago, back before the ice breakers, this water would freeze over in winter sometimes, all the way across. It looked quiet, almost dead, but it wasn't.

Dominic

No?

Carl Elias

No, no. Just hidden for a while. But after it's winter period, it would roar back to life, the water flowing so fast, an unwary man could drown.

Dominic

So springtime's here, is that it?

Dominic

The thing about a battle plan is, it only works if soldiers follow orders.

Who died and made you general? You ain't nothing but a street banger like the rest of us.

Dominic

You know anything about circles?

Circles? What's that got to do with this?

Dominic

Got everything to do with it. I had a math teacher once, said, "All the world's infinite possibilities rest within this one simple circle." Including the possibility that the big, quiet kid in the back of the class, the one that everyone always underestimated, could one day run the streets of New York.

So what's stopping you?

Dominic

What's stopping me is this Detective Riley. Our circles keep overlapping.

Why are you worried about a stupid cop when you got us Trinitarios on board now?

Dominic

This ain't about numbers or corner boys or turf. This here is about cutting down the old lion and ruling his kingdom. But that can't happen if guys don't follow orders. Guys like that don't have a place.
