nerdiest flirt of all time
SPOILER ALERT TO WHOEVER HASN'T SEEN EPISODE 10 SEASON 5 OF PERSON OF INTEREST (kinda, you just have to know the relationship between these two characters, so maybe it won't be much of a spoiler if you're on season 4)
*all between shootings*
Root: So I was thinking about your thing.
Sameen: My thing?
Root: Your whole "I'm crazy and the world's just a simulation" thing? It's a little like when Harry had me locked up and I was questioning everything.
Sameen: Can we talk about this after the whole lethal shootout thing?
Root: No time like the present, Sameen. Besides, if this is just another simulation, who cares if we die?
Anyway, Schrodinger said at its base level, the universe isn't made up of physical matter, but just... shapes. I thought that might make you feel better.
Sameen: Seriously?
Root: A shape, you know? Nothing firm. What it means is the real world is essentially a simulation anyway.
Sameen: You are the last person I should have confided in about this.
Root: I liked that idea. That even if we're not real, we represent a dynamic. A tiny finger tracing a line in the infinite. A shape. And then we're gone.
Sameen: That's supposed to make me feel better? I'm a shape?
Root: Yeah. And, darlin', you got a great shape.
Sameen: [smiles] I swear to God, you flirt at the most awkward times.
Root: I know.
Root: Listen, all I'm saying is that if we're just information, just noise in the system... we might as well be a symphony.
