S1 E15Unfinished Business
[to Moran] There is a new player out there, an adversary we can't beat, and one we best not try and fight.
[to Finch] A child, your child needs to learn to push back on the playground!
[to John Reese] I'm afraid we're fighting a war we can't win.
[to Bruce Moran] You wanna talk about loyalty? I'll kill you myself if you ever go near Fusco again.
[to Root] The Machine is infinitely smarter than us...if anyone is to re-code the Machine, it should be the Machine
[to Finch] Okay, Garvin might be a good listener, but he's an even better stalker.
[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?
WOWill O'Brien
[the groom says to the audience] Just being modest, Uncle Ralph!
Uh...
WOWill O'Brien
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.
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.
[whispers to Reese] How come Harry never sings to us?
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.
Mr. Reese, have you managed to secure an invitation to the wedding?
I did. Phoebe's sister, Janna, invited me. Turns out I'm her type.
Finch better sing louder, cause we've got some serious ass to kick.
Silly me. I brought a knife to a gunfight.
[to Finch] Even I appreciate a fairytale ending Harry.....family politics, overcooked meat, monogamy, what's not to love?
The world crashes tomorrow. Lets give them tonight.
[to Fusco] If you continue with this investigation, just remember, there's a reason John and Harold are presumed dead.
[imitating Fusco] Busy day directing traffic into a river, Cocoa Puffs? No, Nothing?
We never should have trusted the Machine's word. Damn thing's been acting strangely since we put it back together.
