Amy Acker: Root

Quotes 

• Harold Finch : As before, Ms. Groves, Mr. Reese is upstairs with an unhealthy number of firearms. Please don't try to run.

  Root : Honestly, Harold, locking me up?

  Harold Finch : I admit that the accommodations are not ideal. But your confinement is for your own good.

  Root : Harold, your machine called me.

  Harold Finch : An event that I haven't fully reasoned out. But your unpredictability, your willingness to hurt others make you as dangerous as ever.

  Root : You can't fight the future.

  Harold Finch : [Ignores this]  I'll bring you some new books.

  Root : I get it. You wonder why it won't talk to you like it talks to me. Don't be jealous, Harold. Mom still loves us both.

• Harold Finch : I was just turning out the lights for the evening, Ms. Groves, and I remembered that I had promised to bring you some new reading material.

  Root : A peace offering, Harold? Is that what you've brought?

  Harold Finch : I really think if you could just see things my way, and not consider this...

  Root : Imprisonment? Is there any other way to consider it?

  Harold Finch : This truly is for your own good, Ms. Groves. I mean that when I say it. This synchronistic relationship that you've developed with the machine, it can't be... I worry about you.

  Root : You've misunderstood the situation. You shouldn't worry about me. I'm worried about you, Harold. You can't stop what's coming, and neither can I. But we have the opportunity to understand things when they finally change. The future is coming. You started it and I'll finish it.
