Dom, if this person is saying 3 "enities", then their problem is not with the Trinity per se, but in the Divinity of The Three.
Teas_of_Joy gave some good Divinity verses.
If this person believes in "God", are they questioning the divinity of Christ ?
You'd need to dig further into what exactly they do believe. Are they Unitarian or Onesness {Jesus-Only} or someother "belief system" - like a belief they've just made-up and have chosen for themselves. It makes a big difference on how to approach this person. If they're Unitarian, then they don't believe Jesus was God - if they're Oneness, then they don't believe in the Trinity. But in either case, you can only use verses that prove the Divinity of all Three.
Here's a few more anyways.

Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and[b] I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom 'THOU hast 'given' me', that they may be one, as 'WE' are. [/b]

There's plenty more for the Diety of Christ and more in this thread with R.A. Torrey, etc..
If they're Oneness, there's tons I could post for that "Jesus-Only" belief.
Bless you for trying to help the person.
