Suraj Sharma: Rakesh

Quotes 

• Miles Finer : This is the intersection where my mom was killed in the car accident. Tomorrow, it'll be seventeen years.

  Cara Bloom : Miles, I'm so sorry.

  Rakesh : You know, this... this intersection is within the ten-block radius of the Fibonacci spiral. Can't be a coincidence.

  Miles Finer : [his phone buzzes, and he shows them the friend suggestion]  It's not.

  Cara Bloom : Who's Charles Cole?

  Miles Finer : He's the drunk driver that killed my mom. I mean, why would the God account send me his name? Why would it ever think that I would want to help him?

  Cara Bloom : You know how the God account works. He obviously was sent to you for a reason.

  Miles Finer : I don't care! There is no way in hell I'm gonna help the guy that killed my mom!

• Rakesh : Miles, if we don't help him, we can't complete the spiral.

  Miles Finer : Then we find another way.

  Cara Bloom : Okay, look, maybe we should just give you a second. Take a break.

  Miles Finer : I'm fine, okay? Charles Cole is off-limits. We're not helping him. Understood?

• Cara Bloom : So, I know you said Charles Cole was off-limits, but I think I know why the God account sent you his name.

  Miles Finer : I've already told you, I don't care.

  Cara Bloom : Okay, well, this isn't just about you. I mean, we're all in this together. We've all been helping these friend suggestions. You can't just expect Rakesh and I to walk away.

  Rakesh : Just for the record, I told her to respect your decision, but please go ahead.

• Cara Bloom : Look, Miles, the night of the accident, Charles had just graduated from the Fire Academy, top of his class. He was gonna be a firefighter, and he still wants to be.

  Miles Finer : Well, no one's stopping him.

  Cara Bloom : Yeah, but no one's helping him, either.

  Miles Finer : Good. He does not deserve my help.

  Cara Bloom : Well, how do you know that? Okay, you don't know anything else about him.

  Miles Finer : I don't need to know anything else about him. That's the point.

  Cara Bloom : No. No, the point is that you don't *want* to know anything else about him, because if you did, if you knew who he was before that night or who's become since then, he'd become a real person, and not just some ghost that you can be angry at and never have to face.

  Rakesh : She's right, Miles. I've known you for a long time, man, and I think you owe it to yourself to talk to this man.

• Ali Finer : So, what do Cara and Rakesh think about you refusing to help?

  Miles Finer : They're my friends, and they respect my decision.

  Rakesh : [cut to him on the phone with Cara]  I don't know, Cara. Miles told us to leave this alone. I think we should respect his decision.

• Miles Finer : Bro, is everything okay?

  Rakesh : Uh, it's better than okay. Um, I found Falken.

  Miles Finer : Wait, you did? How?

  Rakesh : So, the address of the fire was 55 144th Street, and the next number in the Fibonacci sequence is 89. So I looked up 89 144th Street, and guess who owns the place?

  Cara Bloom : Who?

  Rakesh : Bill and Lila Chase, Henry's parents. It was his childhood home.
