SUMMARY: trivia...
There was an unusual lull between numbers. Finch was occupying himself running diagnostics. Reese, having cleaned all the weapons he had at the library, was at loose ends. Feeling restless he decided to indulge in a little Finch baiting.
“So Finch, is there some word or phrase that would override the Machine if it should gain sentience and run rampant like Skynet?” John asked innocently.
“Very funny, Mr. Reese” Finch said dryly as he focused on his screen The next few minutes passed in silence save for the clicking of the computer keys. Then:
"Klaatu barada nikto" Finch intoned with a perfectly straight face.*
“Necktie. Now you make me wish I had a chainsaw…and a shotgun.**
“Oh?” Finch inquired, this time being the one to feign innocence.
John smirked slightly knowing Finch had caught the reference. Maybe they could indulge in a movie marathon until the next number arrived.
*Day the Earth Stood Still
