When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different, someone better. When that person is taken from you, what do you become then?
"Do I owe you money? 'Cause I'm, uh… running a little short at the moment." "You don't owe me anything, Mr. Reese. That's the name you prefer, isn't it? I know you've had several. Don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anybody about you." "You don't know anything about me." "I know exactly anything about you, Mr. Reese. I know about the work you used to do for the government. I know about the doubts you came to have about that work. I know that the government, along with everybody else, thinks you're dead. I know you've spent the last couple of months trying to drink yourself to death. I know you're contemplating more efficient ways to do it. So you see, knowledge is not my problem. Doing something with that knowledge… that's where you'd come in. And you can call me Mr. Finch. I think you and I can help one another. I don't think you need a psychiatrist or a support group, pills…" "What do I need?" "You need a purpose. More specifically, you need a job."
"I offered you a job, Mr. Reese. I never said it would be easy."
"You have a decision to make." "The machine gave you another number." "The numbers never stop coming. You should know that up front." "Why me?" "I've been watching you for a long time, John. We have more in common than you might think. The world thinks we're both dead, for starters." "You programmed the machine to delete those irrelevant numbers. Now you're trying to save them. What changed your mind?" "Let's just say that you're not the only one that's lost someone. If you wanna leave, I'll give you enough money to get as far as you need. Disappear." "And if I stay?" "Sooner or later both of us'll probably wind up dead. Actually dead this time. I said I'd tell you the truth. Didn't say you’d like it."
碎碎念: 欧美圈经典初见模式:“I know everything about you.” 福华,EC,夕阳红,无一例外。 一直在试图回忆宅兔子第一次叫李四John是哪一集,想不到竟然第一集就有了,哎,官方快捡捡你们的节操。 “I offered you a job, Mr. Reese. I never said it would be easy.” "I said I’d tell you the truth. Didn’t say you’d like it.” 宅兔子你个欲擒故纵的死傲娇。李四也是没出息,愿者上钩,啧啧啧。

"You are being watched."
"And here I was thinking we were getting a little closer, Harold." "I told you I'm a very private person." "Well, you're gonna need to trust someone at some point." "Trust? That's not something I come by very easily. I have my reasons." "Are you ever gonna tell me those reasons?" "Don't call me, Mr. Reese. I'll call you."
"Good morning, Finch." "Don't you knock?" "Not if I can help it. I felt bad about blowing your cover identity. Been looking for a new job for you. Dog walker, maybe. Or concert pianist?"
"And, uh, Finch… If you're going to work all night, you should try getting some exercise."
"Hey, Finch. Finch, are you there?" "Yes. Is there a problem?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "Thought you said you'd never lie to me."

"What's good here?" "That won't work, Mr. Reese." "What won't?" "Your interrogation technique." "What's good here? It's an innocent question." "No question is ever innocent from you. You're trying to determine whether I come here often. Armed with that knowledge, you'll try to figure out where I live." "You're paranoid, Finch." "With good reason." "Maybe I just don't know what's good here so I'm asking the regular." "Enjoy your meal, Mr. Reese."
"What did he say?" "That we don't need to worry. He might even help us someday." "I was listening to your conversation, Mr. Reese." "And I was reading between the lines." "I suppose only time will tell which one of us is right." "Thank you." "I beg your pardon?" "For giving me a job." "Try the eggs Benedict, Mr. Reese. I've had them many times."
