Finch's Father
- Finch's Father: [Harold has fixed the car engine] I'll be damned. But you're not supposed to take things apart like that. You understand, Harold?
- Young Harold Finch: Well, if they don't want you to get inside, they ought to build them better.
- Finch's Father: You have greatness in you, Harold. Your mind, the things that you can see...
- Young Harold Finch: It's not...
- Finch's Father: And it's wasted here. You should be heading off to college, not taking care of an old man.
- Young Harold Finch: I'm not going anywhere. And besides, they're building a computer network right now that's going to connect all the universities in the country. If I can't leave town, I'll bring the information to me. I'll find a way.
- Finch's Father: Careful, son. Don't be reckless. Don't get yourself into something you shouldn't.
- Young Harold Finch: [Smiles] If they don't want you to get inside, they ought to build it better.
- Young Harold Finch: I'm making you a memory to help you remember stuff like turning off the stove, and if I keep working on it, I think I can make it so it can remember all the things that you can't.
- Finch's Father: Now, we talked about this. I mean, what's wrong with me can't be fixed by you or by anybody else, okay?
- Young Harold Finch: But what if I build a machine with lots of memory, one that could think?
- Finch's Father: Well, even if you could, even if you could fill it with all my memories, it still wouldn't be me. You know, not everything that's broken was meant to be fixed.
