Heroes

Hiro Nakamura:
Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Claire Bennet:
[to HRG] Someone has to protect this family... from you.

Hiro Nakamura:
That's fighting dirty.

Takezo Kensei:
That's fighting smart sir. Don't get me wrong I give him a fair wage... if he lives.

Sylar:
You have the hunger. You're like me.

Peter Petrelli:
No! I will never become you.

Sylar:
You already are... Brother.

Elle Bishop:
[talking about her murdered father] You killed him.

Sylar:
I kill a lot of people, Elle. You're as much to blame for that as anyone... Maybe even more so.

[Sylar is probing Claire's brain]

Claire Bennet:
You're not going to eat it, are you?

Sylar:
Eat your brain? Claire... that's disgusting.

Thompson:
What am I thinking now, Parkman?

Noah Bennet:
[puts gun to Thompson's temple] Your last thought [Executes Thompson]

Sylar:
Okay, *technically* I'm a serial killer.

[Elle studies Peter as he wakes up]

Bob Bishop:
He's not a toy, Elle.

Elle Bishop:
[sing-song] He could be...

Peter Petrelli:
I'm Peter.

Adam Monroe:
Hello, Peter. It's nice to meet you. I'm Adam.

Niki Sanders:
Do I know you?

Bob Bishop:
Call me Bob.

Micah Sanders:
[referring to himself and his parents] We could be like the Fantastic Four! Minus one, but still...

Peter Petrelli:
I don't understand. If they're not gonna help us, why are we here?

Adam Monroe:
Keep us from being out there.

Peter Petrelli:
Why, because we're dangerous?

Adam Monroe:
No, Peter. It's because we could save the world.

[Elle strokes Peter's head, sending a few electroshocks over it]

Peter Petrelli:
Ow! That hurts!

Elle Bishop:
You'll get used to it. And then you'll start to like it.

Niki Sanders:
My butterflies have butterflies.

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice-over] Is it man's ability to remember that sets us apart? We are the only species concerned with the past. Our memories give us voice, and bear witness to history, so that others might learn - so they might celebrate our triumphs, and be warned of our failures.

[last lines]

Peter Petrelli:
I remember! I remember everything!

Adam Monroe:
Good then - shall we save the world?

[Peter has asked Elle about her life story]

Elle Bishop:
I accidentally set my grandmother's house on fire when I was six. Caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an I.V. of lithium in my arm. I've lived in this building for sixteen years... ever since the shrinks here diagnosed me as a homicidal sociopath with paranoid delusions. But... they were just out to get me because I threatened to kill 'em. Now, I'm 24 years old and I've never gone on a date... never been on a roller coaster, never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don't have the luxury of being more interesting than that.

Emile Danko:
How the hell did you get in here?

Sylar:
Well, you'd be amazed what you can do with a lifted I.D. badge, a four-dollar tie and a West Baltimore accent.

Claire Bennet:
You know what? Over the years, I couldn't help but... think about my real dad. Who you were, what you looked like, your job. And then I met you; and you were more amazing than anything I could have ever imagined.

Nathan Petrelli:
I mean, it's just a fantasy.

Claire Bennet:
No. No, it doesn't have to be! You could do anything you want - you could fly!

Nathan Petrelli:
Claire...

Claire Bennet:
You're supposed to be Superman.

[last lines]

Emile Danko:
So how did that feel? Zipping up that body bag?

Sylar:
Cathartic. Poetic. And tactically fortunate. It'll be a lot easier for us to operate... if everybody thinks I'm dead.

Emile Danko:
If we do this - if we succeed - you'd be the only one left.

Sylar:
Funny how that works.

[Claire puts a batch of banknotes on the table]

Claire Bennet:
Voil?!

Nathan Petrelli:
Where'd you get that?

Claire Bennet:
I sold my kidney. Actually, both of them - twice!

Claire Bennet:
[to Nathan, who is heavily drunk] You should - never - ever - fly - in that condition!

Emile Danko:
I want eyes on every road, every terminal, air, bus, roadblocks. This isn't a drill, people. Three of our own died, and they will not die in vain - not on my watch, not on yours. Remember your training. Remember Agents Whitman, Price and Holiday, and their families. Remember, we don't sleep... until this son-of-a-b*tch is caught!

Emile Danko:
Our orders is to take them all in.

Noah Bennet:
You're so desperate to chalk up a win you're cutting corners, is that it?

Emile Danko:
Let's not forget you're Nathan Petrelli's boy. Your last crusade was to catch this Rebel, and you didn't catch him, did you? You need to win a hell of a lot more than I do.

Emile Danko:
You got twenty years of experience with these people, and I need a plan. And I don't wanna hear 'one of us, one of them'.

Noah Bennet:
Then I won't say it. But it got the job done.

Sylar:
Maybe I'm the goose who lays the golden egg. I can round them all up.

Emile Danko:
You suggesting that I can't?

Sylar:
You chased a shape-shifter. You don't *chase* a shape-shifter.

Sylar:
Why does anybody want power? To screw with people? Or to simply screw people?

[Sylar and Danko see Martin - in the shape of Danko - flirting with a woman]

Emile Danko:
What's he up to? Why me?

Sylar:
He's after power. He thinks that's something you have - trying to convert the power into love. Doing a pretty good job of it too. He's a better you than you!

Peter Petrelli:
Your coat's sopping wet. I found this one in the bins; it looked like something you'd wear.

Angela Petrelli:
It should; it's mine.

Angela Petrelli:
I'm afraid that unconditional love isn't really love at all.

Angela Petrelli:
There used to be love in this family once. Look at us now. It's all my fault.

Peter Petrelli:
You come here to be forgiven?

Angela Petrelli:
I'm not sure even God has that in him.

Angela Petrelli:
I was just like you, my head in the clouds, full of hope. I was gonna be a teacher. And then my power manifested, and the dreams came - visions of a bloody future, of deceit and death, the apocalypse. And when I awoke, I tried to warn everyone, but no one would listen. Why would they? Why should they? I was Cassandra, screaming that the sky was falling, but when they looked up, there wasn't a cloud in sight. And I did it with lies, and with manipulation, and betrayal; and it cost me everything - my friends, my husband, my boys. But Peter - it's the price I chose to pay to save the world.

[talking to God]

Peter Petrelli:
I asked to be extraordinary. And I promised I'd make the world a better place. So when I got my chance, I lived up to my end of the bargain. For what? I'm running for my life. A lot of people are running for their lives. They're hurt and they're dying and I can't help them. Do You even care what You put people through? When they kneel here, before You, and they ask for help, do You even listen? And I'm tired of fighting. And I'm angry. I'm angry at my father, Nathan, and my mother. At You. We had a deal. I think it's about time You lived up to Your end. Please, just... show up.

[closing voice over narration]

[a heroin-addled Isaac is frantically painting away at a large canvas]

Mohinder Suresh:
You can run far; you can take your small precautions, but have you really gotten away?

[cuts to Isaac's painting of Hiro and Ando standing below and gazing upward at a blood-drenched homecoming banner]

Mohinder Suresh:
Can you ever escape?

[dissolves into Clare on the living room floor creating her homecoming banner as her father looks on somberly from his recliner]

Mohinder Suresh:
Or is the truth that you do not have the strength or cunning to hide from destiny? But the world is not small, you are...

[scene ends up back into the Burnt Toast diner where Ando is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hiro. Camera closes in on a picture that is tacked to a bulletin board among a sea of other photos; it is a picture of Hiro and the waitress smiling over her birthday cake]

Mohinder Suresh:
And fate can find you anywhere.

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice over] The earth is large. Large enough that you think you can hide from anything. From Fate, From God. If only you found a place far enough away. So you run... To the edge of the Earth, where all is safe again. Quiet and Warm. The Solace of salt air. The peace of danger left behind. The luxury of grief. And maybe, for a moment... , you believe you have escaped.

Mira:
It's the sort of cutting-edge science we used to talk about late into the night.

Mohinder Suresh:
[laughs] The world's worst pillow talk, I'd say.

Matt Parkman:
[Audrey hands Matt a Dosimeter] What's this?

Audrey Hanson:
Detects radiation levels. [pointing at the Dosimeter window] As long as that's dark green we're good.

Matt Parkman:
Oh. Okay. But what's the bad color?

Audrey Hanson:
Not green.

[to Charlie, who is taking his order at a diner]

Hiro Nakamura:
You choose something delicious for me, and for my friend... he needs food for fato fato!

Peter Petrelli:
Where's the cheerleader?

Isaac Mendez:
I don't know.

Peter Petrelli:
But you painted her.

Isaac Mendez:
You painted her too.

Hiro Nakamura:
You learn very fast.

Charlie Andrews:
Yeah, lately I sorta remember everything I read. It's kind of a skill, I guess.

Hiro Nakamura:
My skill much more complicate.

Charlie Andrews:
[laughing] Oh, yeah. What can you do?

Hiro Nakamura:
[pauses and hesitates for a moment] I can teach Japanese to anyone.

Claire Bennet:
[visits her father at work] Dad!

Noah Bennet:
Claire? Honey, is everything alright?

Claire Bennet:
Yeah, everything's fine. Can't a girl just visit her dad at work?

Noah Bennet:
You never visit me at work.

Claire Bennet:
Okay, I'm busted. I have an emergency. A paper emergency...

Noah Bennet:
A paper emergency!

Claire Bennet:
A paper emergency! Miss Robert says we need a banner over the trophy case and Jackie was all, "We don't have paper that big. They don't make paper that big." So I thought I stop by and try to be a hero.

Noah Bennet:
[exhaled loudly]

Claire Bennet:
[exhaled loudly as well]

Noah Bennet:
[hesitate for a moment] Well, if it'll make you a hero and maybe knock Jackie down, if it not, we might just find something that'll work.

Claire Bennet:
Best dad ever!

Charlie Andrews:
[Charlie is bringing the sheriff and his deputy their breakfast order] Do you need anything else, Sheriff? [insistently] Lloyd?

Sheriff:
Uh huh. A gun to shoot Will Shortz. [Charlie laughs]

Deputy Lloyd:
[to Charlie] Who won Best Actor in 1981?

Sheriff:
She's not Google, Lloyd!

Charlie Andrews:
Henry Fonda. "On Golden Pond".

Ando Masahashi:
No wonder everyone is America is so fat... All there is to eat is waffles and French fries.

Hiro Nakamura:
You like French fries.

Ando Masahashi:
I've gained four kilos from French fries.

Hiro Nakamura:
We need our strength. Soon we'll meet Peter Petrelli and help him save the Cheerleader's life. It is our mission.

Hiro Nakamura:
Who says no one in America is nice.

Mohinder Suresh:
It's an odd country, America. Everyone there seems so lonely. Including me. Ah, I'm not sure what I accomplished by going there. Only seeing things I wish I never had.

Mira:
I've been promoted at the company. Head of all genetic research - can you imagine?

Mohinder Suresh:
Good for you.

Mira:
No, good for you.

Mira:
We didn't say hello.

Mohinder Suresh:
Hello, Mira.

Mira:
Hello, Mohinder.

Audrey Hanson:
You're an idiot, Parkman, you know that?

Matt Parkman:
Wow, good morning to you, too.

Audrey Hanson:
You think I wouldn't find out about you assaulting a fellow officer?

Matt Parkman:
I didn't assault him, I- I just hit him.

Audrey Hanson:
This is why I don't like needing people. Nine times out of ten they let you down.

Matt Parkman:
Wow, that's an optimistic view of the world.

Audrey Hanson:
Just an observation.

Matt Parkman:
And how'd this get to be about you?

Audrey Hanson:
Because it was a stupid rookie move, and you could've jeopardized my investigation. How serious is this? Are you getting suspended?

Matt Parkman:
I'll work it out.

Audrey Hanson:
Did he deserve it?

Matt Parkman:
[nods] Yeah. Yeah, he deserved it.

Audrey Hanson:
[Matt and Audrey are about to interrogate Ted Sprague] You know, three months ago, my job made perfect sense to me. Then I pulled the Sylar case. Crime scenes with no fingerprints. Bodies frozen, brains removed. And now this guy. That's two people- make that three people who can do things I just can't explain.

Matt Parkman:
Wait a second. You think I'm like them?

Audrey Hanson:
I don't know what I think. But if we're gonna find Sylar, I need answers.

Matt Parkman:
[points to head] I have no idea how this happened.

Audrey Hanson:
Well, then, I guess that just leaves Ted here.

Charlie Andrews:
[to Hiro] I like the way your cheeks wobble when you concentrate.

Charlie Andrews:
[in Japanese] I'll be right back.

Mohinder Suresh:
Who are you? What do you want?

Matt Parkman:
I'm hearing things that I should not be hearing.

Ted Sprague:
Like what?

Matt Parkman:
Things that could ruin lives. Things that... could end marriages.

Eden McCain:
Isaac. This is Mr. Bennet, the man I told you about.

Noah Bennet:
Hello, Isaac. Drawing anything interesting?

Isaac Mendez:
It's nothing.

Noah Bennet:
Oh, you know that's not true. You have the ability to paint the future. That's something. Something very important.

Isaac Mendez:
Feels like a curse.

Noah Bennet:
No, it's a blessing. Don't let anybody tell you differently. We're gonna help you understand that.

Isaac Mendez:
I'm grateful you're helping me. I'm just not sure why.

Noah Bennet:
To be one hundred per cent honest with you, I need your help.

Mrs. Suresh:
I know you miss him. And I know you feel guilty, too. Don't.

Mohinder Suresh:
I had a dream last night. You and father were talking before he left. In it, you persuaded him to go.

Mrs. Suresh:
It's just a dream, Mohinder.

Mohinder Suresh:
No; I need to know if it was true.

Mrs. Suresh:
Your father and I were married for thirty three years.

Mohinder Suresh:
That is not an answer.

Mrs. Suresh:
Yes it is; a marriage doesn't last that long without allowing the other person to be who he has to be.

Sheriff:
Charlie. She is dead.

Mohinder Suresh:
[to his Mom] In the dream you said that I could never take the place of her. Who did you mean?

Mrs. Suresh:
I think its time you knew now that your father's gone. Mohinder, You had a sister.

Mohinder Suresh:
A sister?

Mrs. Suresh:
Her name was Shanthi. She was five years old when she died, two years after you were born.

Noah Bennet:
This girl. The one you've painted here... and here... and there. She's my daughter. My Claire. This man here, he goes by the name of Sylar. He's going to kill her tomorrow night at her homecoming game.

Noah Bennet:
I need your help. I need you to paint this painting.

Isaac Mendez:
I'm sorry. I've been trying, but I can't. Not without drugs.

Noah Bennet:
[to Isaac] Fourteen years ago there was just such a case, which sadly ended in a death. A woman left behind a baby girl who had no one to take care of her.

Noah Bennet:
We tried his way. Now we do it mine.

Eden McCain:
He worked so hard to get clean. You can't ask him to do this.

Noah Bennet:
I am not going to ask him. [looks at Eden] You are...

Eden McCain:
No. No, you can't make me do that.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] There has to be something I can do.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] If I'm too scared to use my powers, then I don't deserve them. I have to try.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Just count to five and I'll be back. We'll celebrate my victory.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Hiro... please? Three, four, five. Hiro?

Janice Parkman:
You punched a superior officer. That has to have some kind of repercussions.

Matt Parkman:
He may outrank me, but superior is taking it a little too far.

Chandra Suresh:
The world needs to know my findings. That's all that's important.

Mohinder Suresh:
It is one thing to publish a book in the comfort of a university, it is another to leave everything behind. Chasing a theory that is pure fantasy.

Charlie Andrews:
[in Japanese] [to Hiro] You're sweet.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I'm sweet.

Mohinder's Computer:
Are you sure you want to quit?

Hiro Nakamura:
[to Ando] I can go back.

Samuel Sullivan:
A family is more than blood. It's about trust, about love. About those who embrace you - the real you. Unconditionally.

[Sylar has struck Hank down with a tire iron]

Matt Parkman:
You just killed him!

Sylar:
No, I didn't. You did.

Matt Parkman:
He was helping you.

Sylar:
Exactly. In his death, he has helped me prove a point about the line.

Matt Parkman:
What line?

Sylar:
The one I can cross, and you can't. The one that says I can do anything I want, like killing people in cold blood.

Matt Parkman:
No, you can't just...

Sylar:
The world is my hostage, Matt. Anybody. Anytime.

Sylar:
Sucks, doesn't it? Being in the passenger seat of your own life?

Matt Parkman:
You might be able to control my body, but I will never ever let you control my ability. Do you hear me? Sucks, doesn't it?

Emma Coolidge:
[referring to her nephew] I couldn't save him.

Peter Petrelli:
[referring to Megan] But you saved her.

Emma Coolidge:
You saved me. Thank you.

Lydia:
Sounds to me like the Claire Bennet recruitment is a... lost cause.

Samuel Sullivan:
Well, you know me. I'm the patron saint of lost causes.

Samuel Sullivan:
In the wrong hands, this compass could mean trouble for my family. We just need to stay hidden.

Noah Bennet:
From who?

Samuel Sullivan:
Well, for starters, you. No offense, sir, but you have a reputation for scorching earth to get to people like me.

Samuel Sullivan:
It's a slanted perspective to see the extraordinary through ordinary eyes. Fear is easier than understanding.

Claire Bennet:
So how do you deal with it?

Samuel Sullivan:
By not having to deal with it.

Claire Bennet:
That was fast.

Noah Bennet:
My daughter calls, I drop everything.

Samuel Sullivan:
You were stalling. You kept me talking.

Claire Bennet:
You seem to like to talk.

Noah Bennet:
I'm sorry I pushed you.

Claire Bennet:
It's OK, I don't bruise easy.

Sylar:
What the hell are you doing?

Matt Parkman:
I'm crossing that line. You told me that I'm not man enough to take a life? Well, you know what, you're wrong. 'cause I'm gonna take yours.

Sylar:
You're an idiot. You'll die with me.

Matt Parkman:
Yeah...

[he puffs out]

Matt Parkman:
I know.

Meredith Gordon:
[to Flint] You remember what daddy used to say: "God gave you a big sister instead of a brain."

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
A child is born to innocence; a child is drawn towards good. Why then do so many among us go so horribly wrong? -... - What makes some walk the path of darkness, while others choose the light? Is it will? Is it destiny? Can we ever hope to understand the force that shapes the soul? -... - To fight evil, one must know evil. One must journey back through time, and find that fork in the road where heroes turn one way and villains turn another.

Angela Petrelli:
You were a great man, Arthur; you were a visionary. But somewhere along the line you lost your soul.

Elle Bishop:
I still don't understand why we don't just bag and tag this guy like the rest of 'em.

Noah Bennet:
For years, scientists were stumped by the mystery of whale migration. Such a big ocean; how do they find each other? Then one night in the frozen Pacific, some enterprising biologist recorded their song in the wild. They don't sing in captivity.

Daniel Linderman:
I heard your office is launching a full-scale investigation in all things Linderman. Care to comment?

Nathan Petrelli:
I'd shave my wrists - handcuffs chafe.

Nathan Petrelli:
[about Linderman] I'm gonna hurt that man. And when I do, if you're standing next to him, you're gonna get hurt too. It's time to choose a side, dad - your client or your family!

Arthur Petrelli:
Read your Shakespeare. When the son challenges the father, only one is left standing. I should have one last talk with him, I owe him that.

Daniel Linderman:
What happens if that doesn't take?

Arthur Petrelli:
Well, I'll... kill him.

Sylar:
I have a kind of problem. I guess you could say I'm like an addict. I have this overwhelming hunger to... Um, I covet... the powers of others. But somehow, since the other day, since... since meeting you... I feel like maybe I don't have to be so special - maybe I can just be Gabriel again.

Thompson:
With gift comes opportunity.

Noah Bennet:
We follow orders, Elle. We're agents. That's what we do.

Noah Bennet:
You don't follow orders, you're not an agent; you're not an agent, you're on your own.

Thompson:
Welcome to the Company.

[Arthur and Angela are passionately embraced during their wedding anniversary]

Nathan Petrelli:
All right, get a room.

Angela Petrelli:
After forty-one years of marriage you take it where you can get it.

Angela Petrelli:
So what do you think, Arthur? Do you still know me? Can you tell anything about me just by looking in my eyes?

Arthur Petrelli:
You're my wife, Angela. I know you like I know my own heart.

Angela Petrelli:
Really? So what am I gonna do now? Am I gonna kiss you? Or am I gonna kill you?

Elle Bishop:
Hi! Do you like pie?... Ugh, that rhymed, didn't it?

Arthur Petrelli:
[telepathically] Nathan has to die.

Angela Petrelli:
[repeating aloud] Nathan has to die.

Angela Petrelli:
What's on your mind?

Daniel Linderman:
The question is, Angela, what isn't on yours?

Daniel Linderman:
I can't push a thought into your head, Angela, but - I can heal the scars.

Noah Bennet:
This is incredible! He actually exposes the brain!

[last lines]

Arthur Petrelli:
I understand you've been dreaming about me.

Angela Petrelli:
I lied. It's not your mother's recipe. [when Arthur realizes that he has been poisoned]

Nathan Petrelli:
Izzy - he hated that dog.

Peter Petrelli:
Of course. It was the only living thing he met that ever disobeyed him.

Angela Petrelli:
Let's not idolize your father because he's dead. He wasn't God; he was a man - deeply flawed in ways you will never know.

Matt Parkman:
[thinking] You want to leave, right now.

Eli:
Are you trying to push a thought? All but one of us are pretty... thoughtless.

Eric Doyle:
Sylar, please. Listen to me. Please, Samuel made me do it.

Sylar:
Really? 'Cause I thought you were the puppet master.

Eric Doyle:
Oh, come on. What do you care about this girl, anyway?

Sylar:
I am here to save her.

Eric Doyle:
That's not you. You're like me.

Sylar:
No. I'm a hero.

Samuel Sullivan:
Tonight changes everything. For all of us.

[last lines]

Claire Bennet:
My name is Claire Bennet, and this is attempt number... I guess I've kind of lost count.

Noah Bennet:
It doesn't matter what I believe anymore. Because the whole world is about to find out about you. We can thank Samuel for that.

Claire Bennet:
Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe the world is more ready than you think it is. Things change.

Noah Bennet:
Sure. There might be curiosity for a while, but all it takes is one Sylar, and then the pitchforks come out and all hell breaks loose. I've seen it. They will turn on you, Claire. It's human nature. You're right. Things change. But people don't.

Noah Bennet:
I think I know why Samuel put you down here with me. So you could watch me die.

Noah Bennet:
When I said that I was the product of my experiences, I left out the most important part. You. You came into my life, and you changed everything. The man you saw up there in those memories could never have died a happy man. But I can, because of you.

Matt Parkman:
Is your buddy Samuel here with you?

Eli:
Came alone this time - so to speak.

Peter Petrelli:
[reading Eli's mind] Samuel's gonna show the world his powers... New York City... Central Park... Tonight.

Sylar:
What does he mean, show his power?

Peter Petrelli:
He's gonna open up the ground, kill them all, bury 'em.

Sylar:
That sounds like a plan I'd come up with back in the day.

Hiro Nakamura:
Destiny calls.

Ando Masahashi:
Hiro, there's no such thing as stepping on a "small butterfly".

Samuel Sullivan:
You seem to have found my power.

Peter Petrelli:
It's funny how that works, huh? I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone now.

Samuel Sullivan:
Peter, you of all people should know they have to fear us! That's the only way they'll respect us. All you've ever wanted is respect. We both know what it's like to live in the shadow of a brother. Joseph destroyed my potential, kept me down, just like your brother.

Peter Petrelli:
My brother didn't let me down. He built me up.

Peter Petrelli:
So, how does it feel to be ordinary?

Sylar:
Peter - your dream said I save her. Trust me.

Hiro Nakamura:
It is over. The damsel has found her happy ending. My hero's journey has come to an end.

[last lines of Volume V]

Noah Bennet:
I got to say... I never liked carnivals.

Peter Petrelli:
Yup.

Claire Bennet:
[to Noah] You're right. People don't change.

Lauren Gilmore:
[on Claire] What is she doing?

Noah Bennet:
Breaking my heart.

Peter Petrelli:
[on Claire] What the hell does she think she's doing? She's gonna change everything.

Sylar:
That's right. It's a brave new world.

Mr. Linderman:
[seeing Nathan pull a gun on him] Now you can't have any of my pot pie.

[last lines]

Peter Petrelli:
Suresh? Suresh? It's Peter Petrelli. Mohinder?

Mohinder Suresh:
Sylar...

Sylar:
I remember you... You're like me aren't you? I'd like to see how that works.

Sylar:
I wasn't begging for my life.

Sylar:
[a suddenly terrified Mohinder steps back] I was offering you yours.

Mr. Linderman:
You see, I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning.

Nathan Petrelli:
I'd like to think I have both.

Mr. Linderman:
Can't be done. Two very different paths. I mean, to be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present. And with no thought of what's gone before, and no thought of what lies ahead. But, a life of meaning... A man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future. And my guess is that you've done quite a bit of obsessing about yours these last few days.

Mr. Linderman:
Voil?! A pot pie. Wholesome, warm, healthy. That's, of course if you can live without the cream sauce. Personally, I can't. I mean, what's the point? You know, people can sleep, or they can gamble. Or they can even make love when they're miserable. But I think that most people eat when they're happy. I like to see people happy. Are you happy, Nathan?

[first lines]

Isaac Mendez:
[to Peter] I thought it was you. It was supposed to be you. Can't you do something?

Hiro Nakamura:
[speaking to Linderman's bouncer in Japanese] You can't stop me! Bigger men than you have tried. I will find a way inside... [the Bouncer steps in front of him]... Somehow.

Thompson:
[to Mr. Bennet] Mm-hmm. So Sprague and Parkman taking your family hostage, shooting your daughter, a bullet clean through your side. You'd think something there might have made an impression.

Noah Bennet:
[about Claire] She's my daughter.

Thompson:
She's an assignment. Have you forgotten? We gave her to you.

Noah Bennet:
[about Claire] You expect me to do nothing?

Thompson:
I expect you to do whatever we ask of you.

Thompson:
Well, what do we think?

Matt Parkman:
He's telling the truth. He doesn't know anything.

Peter Petrelli:
[to Nathan] I thought I could be a hero, save the world. Instead I just killed it.

Nathan Petrelli:
Just stay with me.

Peter Petrelli:
I can't. I can't. As long as I'm alive, everyone around me is in danger.

Sandra Bennet:
[to Mr. Bennet] I tell you, that flood in our basement turned into a right vacation for this family.

Sandra Bennet:
[to Mr. Bennet] Don't worry, I know how to play dumb.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] You've no idea how alone I used to feel. How insignificant. You have given me hope.

Mohinder Suresh:
Hope is great. We need caffeine!

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] To new friends. [takes a sip from the cup] This is good. What is it?

Mohinder Suresh:
Chai. It's a special blend my father brought from India.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] Who are we going to call next?

Mohinder Suresh:
No one. I already have you, Mr. Sylar.

[Sylar passes out]

Nathan Petrelli:
Hiro?

Hiro Nakamura:
[after he sees Nathan] Mr. Petrelli? Flying man!

Nathan Petrelli:
Shh... Not here.

Hiro Nakamura:
[softly] Flying man.

Nathan Petrelli:
Let me guess, you're still trying to steal that sword from Mr. Linderman? Where's your friend?

Hiro Nakamura:
Ando? I sent him back to Japan. This mission getting too dangerous for him.

Nathan Petrelli:
I think I know what you mean. You can't protect everyone, right? Sometimes it's better to go it alone. The more people you try to help...

Hiro Nakamura:
...The more people get hurt. Please, you must help me. I can't get past casino security, try it.

Nathan Petrelli:
When I first meet you, I thought you were nuts.

Hiro Nakamura:
Is okay, I thought you were mean. But now I know you pretend that you don't care about anyone, but you care too much.

Claire Bennet:
Vivian Lewis? My name is Vivian, and I'm from Canada? Are you kidding me?

The Haitian:
I do not need you happy. Only safe.

Claire Bennet:
There's nothing left of me. Everything I am is gonna disappear the second I get on that plane. My friends, my family, me.

Isaac Mendez:
How am I supposed to pretend this didn't happen?

Candice Wilmer:
Maybe you should have thought about that before you shot her. Twice.

Mohinder Suresh:
[to Sylar] You're a parasite. You killed my Father and fed off his work.

Mohinder Suresh:
[to Sylar] There's only one thing to do with a parasite. Kill it before it kills again.

Curator:
[stopping Hiro from slapping down painting] There are so few Dead Sea fragments left in the world. It'd be a pity if you crushed this one.

Hiro Nakamura:
So many things.

Curator:
You brought the new Mendez?

Hiro Nakamura:
[about the Isaac Mendez painting] This one is very special.

Curator:
This painting is ripped... and repaired with scotch tape.

Hiro Nakamura:
Yes, very special.

Jessica Sanders:
[to FBI agents] Mr. Linderman sends his regards, and a suggestion: Don't run surveillance on a man from inside his own hotel. It's really tacky.

Sylar:
Give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in! I'm a natural progression of the species. Evolution is a part of nature and nature kills. Simple, right?

Mohinder Suresh:
What you've done isn't evolution, it's murder. What I am doing - is revenge. Now I can fulfill my duty as a son.

Sandra Bennet:
[answering the phone] Hello... Yes, it is... Yes, he is going to be a problem. Why don't we do it right now? [turning into Candice]

Candice Wilmer:
Sorry.

Hiro Nakamura:
Yatta! [subtitled] I did it!

Claire Bennet:
[Claire knocks on an apartment door; someone answers it] I'm sorry, I hope I have the right address. I'm looking for, uh... Peter Petrelli.

[cut to Peter's mother Angela standing at the door]

Angela Petrelli:
[cut to Peter's mother Angela standing at the door] You picked a terrible time to do that. Peter's not here just now. You may as well come inside Claire. [in French] Au moins maintenant elle sera en s?curit?... et pas gr?ce ? vous! [translation: At least, now she will be safe... and no thanks to you!]

The Haitian:
Ecoutez j'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu... elle aurait bien fini par trouver sa propre voie... [translation: Listen, I did all that I could. She would have ended up well finding her own way]

Claire Bennet:
Who are you?

Angela Petrelli:
I'm your grandmother. And I've been trying to protect you, but you haven't been that very easy. Quite stubborn aren't you? Just like your Father.

Mr. Linderman:
Do you like vegetables, Nathan?

Nathan Petrelli:
I've been known to eat zucchini when the mood strikes, but not as a rule.

Mr. Linderman:
[about Nathan holding a gun on him] I won't hold it against you. Lots of men have tried to kill me.

Nathan Petrelli:
Then I'll be the last.

Mr. Linderman:
[to Nathan] I can offer you more than just information, Nathan. You're gonna win your election. I'll see to that. And two years from now, though a series of fluke circumstances, you will find yourself in the white house. A heartbeat away from the presidency. A life of meaning, Nathan. Think about it. The choice is yours.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Come. We both go.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Both? [they teleport into the future]

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Oh, no. This looks like...

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] What happened?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] It's the future. The bomb. We didn't stop it. I failed.

Sylar:
Give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in!

Sylar:
[to Mohinder Suresh] I wasn't begging for my life, I was offering you yours.

Isaac Mendez:
[whispering] And very recently, I painted a picture of... a man exploding.

Hiro Nakamura:
How do you stop an exploding man?

Audrey Hanson:
She slipped up, Parkman. It sucks, but it happens. You've never cheated on her?

Matt Parkman:
No. [off her look] You don't believe me?

Audrey Hanson:
Well, statistically speaking, law enforcement attracts a certain kind of male personality.

Matt Parkman:
Ohhh, and what personality would that be?

Audrey Hanson:
Dogs.

Matt Parkman:
And the female personality?

Audrey Hanson:
B*tches. We keep it in the canine family.

Nathan Petrelli:
You're meant to do a lot of things, Peter. [sits down next to Peter] But saving the world isn't one of them. You gotta learn to recognize when life is bigger than you are. You're not a fighter. But that's okay, the world needs nurses, too.

Peter Petrelli:
When I'm around you, I can do what you can do. Isaac, Hiro Nakamura, this girl Claire - I-I-I think that we're all the same, somehow, and this bomb that Isaac painted, I think that we're supposed to stop it, but I just... I don't think I can do it. [Peter looks away from Nathan]

Nathan Petrelli:
That's because you can't.

Sylar:
[Peter turns around to see Sylar appearing and sitting where Nathan was a moment before] How can you stop what's coming, when you don't know anything about power? [Peter wakes up from his dream]

Mr. Bennet:
I said that's enough, Gabriel.

Sylar:
[screams] My name is *Sylar*!

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] "Save the Cheerleader, save the world." We failed to save her, so now we can't save the world.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] No, no. "Save the cheerleader." Then, "save the world."

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] No, it's an "if, then" statement.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] How do you know?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I was the one who said it!

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] "Future you" doesn't count as you!

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Never mind. Two people died. If we don't continue they died for nothing. We will find a way. We must.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] How?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Get back on mission. Find Peter Petrelli. Find the artist. Stop the bomb. Destiny hasn't forgotten us.

Claire Bennet:
What do I have to do with the world?

Peter Petrelli:
I don't know... Yet. But I do know that I don't think I would be here if it wasn't for you... I think I died.

Claire Bennet:
I've died before. It's no big deal. [laughs]

Peter Petrelli:
I'm not like you, Claire. I... [Mr. Bennet knocks on the glass. Claire holds up her forefinger. Mr. Bennet turns away] This uh... This healing thing is kind of new for me.

Claire Bennet:
[to Peter in his jail cell] Wait, you didn't know that you were going to heal when you dove off the building?

Peter Petrelli:
No.

[chuckles, laughs and then coughs]

Peter Petrelli:
That's kind of stupid, huh? [Mr. Bennet knocks again, Claire nods at him and walks to the cell door]

Claire Bennet:
No, it's not. You're totally my hero.

Audrey Hanson:
Really, Parkman. Since when does "absence of noise" warrant a stake-out?

Matt Parkman:
You always say I don't take you anywhere.

Audrey Hanson:
You sure know how to spoil a girl.

Matt Parkman:
Eat your Tex Mex.

Audrey Hanson:
[thinking to herself] I'm just saying: he can be cute. Oh God. Did he just hear that?

[Matt looks over at her, smiling]

Audrey Hanson:
[spoken aloud] Did you just read my mind?

Matt Parkman:
[he laughs] Yeah.

Audrey Hanson:
You can't do that! That was a stray thought. I... you can't do that.

Matt Parkman:
You really think I'm, uh..."cute"?

Audrey Hanson:
I really think you're married. And I really think you love your wife.

Matt Parkman:
I do.

Audrey Hanson:
Then why haven't you called to yell at her so you can go home already? That's what you want, isn't it?

Matt Parkman:
I don't want to be a chump.

Audrey Hanson:
So still loving your wife after she has sex with someone else makes you a chump?

Matt Parkman:
Doesn't it?

Audrey Hanson:
Grow up, Parkman. If you want your marriage to work, you have to find a way to make it work; otherwise you are kind of a chump.

[seeing Mr. Bennet]

Audrey Hanson:
Cheerleader's dad, nine o'clock.

The Haitian:
[to Claire] I work for your father. He sent me here to make you forget. Like he sent me to your friend, and your brother, and to your mother, so many times. He'll be here soon, expecting that you won't remember anything. But it is very important that you do. Tell me, Claire, can you keep... a secret?

Hiro Nakamura:
[looking at a painting that predicts he will face a dinosaur] [in Japanese] Oh no! What if I step on a bug? I could change history...

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Change history? You're gonna die!

Hiro Nakamura:
[cell phone rings and Hiro answers it] Hello?

Isaac Mendez:
[calling Hiro's cellphone] Hiro Nakamura?

Isaac Mendez:
Yes?

Hiro Nakamura:
This is Isaac Mendez.

Ando Masahashi:
Mr. Isaac!

Isaac Mendez:
Hiro... We need to meet.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Who is it?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Destiny!

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] [to Hiro] I wish... destiny would lose our number...

Jessica Sanders:
What do you know about control, Niki?

Niki Sanders:
You're part of me. You do what I say.

Peter Petrelli:
[Nathan walks into Peter's cell] What are you doing here, Nathan?

Nathan Petrelli:
[he tosses Peter's possessions bag at him] Let's go.

Peter Petrelli:
You aren't going to ask what happened?

Nathan Petrelli:
I *know* what happened. You got yourself in trouble, you nearly got yourself killed.

Peter Petrelli:
I saved a girl.

Nathan Petrelli:
Had to be a hero, didn't you? Get it out of your system now?

Peter Petrelli:
I'm finally getting it, Nathan. I've had these dreams and when I was near them, I could do what they could do.

Nathan Petrelli:
You look like hell.

Peter Petrelli:
I was with that girl, and that guy that was trying to kill that girl, and this, this cop... I, I think he was reading my mind. They were all like us.

Nathan Petrelli:
Dysfunctional?

Peter Petrelli:
No... they... Nathan, I have to stop that bomb, I have to save everybody.

Nathan Petrelli:
Right now I'd settle for you walking straight.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I really need to find that sword...

[first lines]

Claire Bennet:
Are you mad at me? You haven't said anything since I got in the car. Since I told you.

Mr. Bennet:
No, no. I just... I've just been thinking. I have something I need to tell you, it's unfair to keep it from you any longer. What you can do... I've known about you, Claire. I knew before you knew, before you made those tapes with Zach.

Claire Bennet:
You saw the tape? Why didn't you say anything?

Mr. Bennet:
There are a lot of reasons but mostly I just wanted to protect you.

Claire Bennet:
Protect me? All this time I've... felt so alone and like I'm some sort of freak and you knew?

Mr. Bennet:
I've worked very hard, I've done some things that I am not proud of to keep you safe.

Claire Bennet:
What kinds of things?

Mr. Bennet:
I just wanted you to have a normal life.

Claire Bennet:
Did Jackie die because of me? He thought she was me, didn't he?

Mr. Bennet:
That man is taken care of. I promise you.

Claire Bennet:
You and Mom knew all this time?

Mr. Bennet:
Your mother doesn't know, neither does your brother.

Claire Bennet:
Actually Lyle kind of found out.

Mr. Bennet:
Really? Did anybody else?

Claire Bennet:
Just Zach.

Mr. Bennet:
Nobody else can know. It's the only way to keep you safe. That man who tried to kill you, there are others out there like him, who want what you have and will hurt you to get it. That's why we can't tell your mother, we can't tell anybody. Do you understand?

Claire Bennet:
Yeah.

Mr. Bennet:
I'm gonna pick Lyle up from practice. And I'll talk to him, you talk to Zach. And any other tapes you've made, I need you to destroy them.

Peter Petrelli:
[Nathan walks into Peter's cell] Nathan. What are you... - What are you doing here?

Nathan Petrelli:
You get in trouble, I drop everything and fix it. Isn't that how things work? Get you out of here soon. [Nathan and Peter hug]

Peter Petrelli:
What, no lecture?

Nathan Petrelli:
I'm just glad you're alive, man.

Peter Petrelli:
Why did you destroy that painting? Why did you try and keep me from coming here?

Nathan Petrelli:
That painting showed you dead, Peter. And when I got the phone call, I nearly believed it for a minute.

Peter Petrelli:
Yeah, I'd thought I'd be a hero.

Nathan Petrelli:
Yeah, heh. How'd that work out for you?

Peter Petrelli:
Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Jessica Sanders:
[to Nikki, in the mirror] What are you looking at?

Mr. Bennet:
You'll find your abilities won't work. Not here. You're not going anywhere, Gabriel.

Sylar:
My name is Sylar.

Mr. Bennet:
Now it is. Wasn't so long ago that you were Gabriel Gray. An insignificant watchmaker.

Sylar:
I restored timepieces. You know why I was so good at it?

Mr. Bennet:
No, why don't you tell me?

Sylar:
Because I can see how things work. What makes them... tick.

Mr. Bennet:
Lucky you. We're interested in how things work too. Everyone else we've... met has had only one ability. You've taken on several.

Sylar:
Guess it's what makes me special.

Mr. Bennet:
It's important to you, isn't it? Being special.

Sylar:
It's important to everyone.

Mr. Bennet:
I think you're insane. I think the infusion of so many alterations to your D.N.A. has corrupted your mind - all this power is degrading you.

Sylar:
And yet, here I am, alive and well and as soon as I get out, I'm gonna collect one more ability from your daughter. Sweet, innocent...

Mr. Bennet:
That's enough.

Sylar:
...Ripe, indestructible.

Eden McCain:
Think about what he almost did to Claire. I could tell him to kill himself. No-one would have to know.

Mr. Bennet:
I don't have time for this, not today.

Eden McCain:
You know I'm right. I know I'm right and if that... - that Haitian could speak, he'd tell you I'm right!

Micah Sanders:
It was her, wasn't it? It was Jessica.

D.L. Hawkins:
Sure looked like your mom.

Micah Sanders:
Mom would never hurt you on purpose.

D.L. Hawkins:
She just did, Micah.

Matt Parkman:
[reading Peter's mind] Save the cheerleader?

Audrey Hanson:
We've got to find this cheerleader.

Eden McCain:
[Isaac is sketching when Eden walks in] Anything interesting?

Isaac Mendez:
Nothing predictive if that's what you're asking. I don't think I can do it clean.

Eden McCain:
You'll get there.

Isaac Mendez:
To be honest it's nice to be drawing just to draw again. That's what I liked about comics, you don't have to take them too seriously.

Eden McCain:
Good guys catching bad guys. Which reminds me... Claire. The cheerleader... she's alive.

Isaac Mendez:
[Isaac breathes a sigh of relief] Peter. He saved her.

Eden McCain:
No, you did. With your gift... I mean thanks to you, Sylar won't be able to hurt anybody anymore.

Isaac Mendez:
This means we can change the future. Maybe stop that bomb.

Eden McCain:
Well, I wish you the best of luck.

Isaac Mendez:
Why? Where you going?

Eden McCain:
Off the reservation.

Isaac Mendez:
You're leaving... what good is painting the future if no one would do anything to change it. [Eden gave Isaac a kiss on his cheek while slipping a cell phone and a keycard into his hand]

Eden McCain:
[whispers] So change it.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I couldn't save Charlie. And now the Cheerleader is dead too.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] "The earth is doomed?".

Peter Petrelli:
You're okay.

Claire Bennet:
Thanks to you.

Mr. Bennet:
Mr. Petrelli, I'm Claire's father.

Peter Petrelli:
Hi.

Mr. Bennet:
You saved my little girl. I owe you my life.

Peter Petrelli:
I was just in the right place.

Mr. Bennet:
Maybe one day I'll be in the right place and can return the favor. [Peter coughs] Are you feeling all right?

Peter Petrelli:
Yeah. Fine.

Claire Bennet:
Hey, Dad, can you wait outside?

Mr. Bennet:
Of course. [Mr. Bennet leaves the cell]

Claire Bennet:
How long have you known?

Peter Petrelli:
Known what?

Claire Bennet:
That you're like me. You would have died if you couldn't...

Peter Petrelli:
Wait, do you... Do you heal? Is that it? [Claire nods]

Claire Bennet:
All this time, I thought it was just me. Now there's you. Is that why you came for me? Is that why you... asked me if I was the one?

Peter Petrelli:
No, I just... - I-I knew I had to save you.

Claire Bennet:
Why?

Peter Petrelli:
To save the world.

Jessica Sanders:
It's for your own good! [throws Micah]

D.L. Hawkins:
Micah!

Claire Bennet:
You shouldn't feel bad. You did it because you're my friend. Probably the best friend I've ever had.

Zach:
You know, I've been your friend for two weeks.

Claire Bennet:
I didn't say it wasn't pathetic!

Hiro Nakamura:
And I saw you.

Isaac Mendez:
What about me.

Hiro Nakamura:
I saw you on the floor. You were dead. With your head... cut... off.

Niki Sanders:
[about Jessica] She's out of control. She can hurt Micah. I can't be trusted.

Police Officer:
Can I help you, ma'am?

Niki Sanders:
Yeah, you can arrest me.

Police Officer:
Arrest you? For what?

Niki Sanders:
For murder.

Matt Parkman:
[after reading Mr. Bennett's mind] I was only able to get one word.

Audrey Hanson:
What?

Matt Parkman:
"Sylar".

Zach:
[to Claire] Are you on crystal meth or something? 'Cause this is really cracky behavior.

Sylar:
[to Mr. Bennett] You see yourself as some sort of humanitarian, don't you? A do-gooder. A hero, kidnapping men and women who are different. Do they make you feel powerful? We're quite alike you know. You collect special people. So do I.

Mr. Bennet:
We're gonna take you apart, Gabriel.

Claire Bennet:
You said that there were people that wanted to hurt me. I think they got to Zach and Lyle. They don't remember anything. It's like it never happened. I don't know what to do!

Mr. Bennet:
Where are you?

Claire Bennet:
I'm at home. Where's Mom? Where's Lyle?

Mr. Bennet:
Just stay where you are. I'll be right there. I love you Claire. You're going to be okay.

Sylar:
I do know you, don't I?

Eden McCain:
[revealing a gun] I lived next door to Chandra Suresh.

Sylar:
wonderful ability. The power of persuasion, and this whole time you were the girl next door.

Eden McCain:
I'm gonna take this gun... and I'm gonna put it in that slot... and [voice gets deeper, echoes] you're gonna take it and you're gonna blow your brains out.

Sylar:
You knew, didn't you? [pulls Eden telekinetically through the glass of his cell and chokes her so she can't use her voice] You knew what I was and you let it continue. In a way, you've helped me. [laughs] And after I've consumed your power, you'll help me even more. [Eden points the gun at his head] Eden, you know that won't hurt me. [Eden inhales deeply, turns the gun towards her own head, and pulls the trigger]

Ando Masahashi:
[Isaac is busy completing a new painting] [in Japanese] I thought he only painted the future...

Nathan Petrelli:
[last week] Easy, it's alright.

Peter Petrelli:
It's all my fault... the explosion

Nathan Petrelli:
What you talking about?

Peter Petrelli:
It's me.

Nathan Petrelli:
Breathe. Breathe. [slaps him] Peter! Peter! PETER!

Claire Bennet:
It's like "The Stepford Body Snatchers", or something!

Ando Masahashi:
[as Hiro takes a call] Who is it?

Hiro Nakamura:
Destiny!

Ando Masahashi:
I wish destiny would lose our number.

Hiro Nakamura:
Here's the plan. You're bait. The bad guys capture you, reveal the location of their secret lair... I rescue you and then we defeat them. Bait will likely be rendered unconscious. I can't stop time if I'm unconscious.

Ando Masahashi:
And I can't become the "Crimson Arc" if I'm unconscious.

Hiro Nakamura:
The Crimson Arc?

Ando Masahashi:
My superhero alias. What do you think?

Hiro Nakamura:
It's good. Dangerous yet... ladylike.

Ando Masahashi:
I understand. This has always been your "me time". But now it's "our time".

Hiro Nakamura:
"Our time"?

Ando Masahashi:
It's like Batman visiting Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Hiro Nakamura:
You think I'm like Superman?

Ando Masahashi:
You're noble like Superman, believe in truth and justice like Superman. You're a little fascist like Superman.

Hiro Nakamura:
I'm not a little fascist.

Ando Masahashi:
You're a lot fascist. You don't like me being a superhero.

Hiro Nakamura:
You need to get over this. I got you the Ando-cycle, didn't I? I just think "Crimson Arc" has unfortunate connotations.

Ando Masahashi:
You're not the only one with a destiny, Hiro. I'm not your sidekick! This Batman can do it all by himself.

Hiro Nakamura:
A hero never concedes defeat.

Matt Parkman:
Thanks for saving my life. Now go save your own.

Ando Masahashi:
Hiro, if we're equal partners, you can't make plans without consulting me.

Hiro Nakamura:
Okay.

Ando Masahashi:
No more volunteering me as bait, or possum or prisoner without consulting me.

Hiro Nakamura:
Okay.

Ando Masahashi:
Okay? So we're agreed? Partners?

Hiro Nakamura:
Yes. Being Batman is great, Ando. But I don't want you to fight alone, with no one to trust. The Crimson Arc needs a partner. And so do I.

Tom Miller:
You don't want to startle me.

Sylar:
That's funny, there was a time when I wouldn't have given you a chance to be startled.

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice-over] For every being cursed with self-awareness, there remains the unanswerable question: 'Who am I?' We struggle to find meaningful connections to one another. We are the caring friend, the loving father, the doting mother, the protected child. We fight and we love, in the hope that somehow, together, we can understand our significance in the universe. But in the end, no one can share our burden. Each of us alone must answer the question: Who am I? What does it mean to be alive? And in the vast infinity of time, how do I matter?

Sylar:
[to his own reflection] Who are you?

Emile Danko:
The past five years, I've lived... eight different lives, had wives and girlfriends, spoke six different languages, but at the end of the day, I still know who I am.

Sylar:
What's your point?

Emile Danko:
Whatever you're going through, this... identity crisis... you can survive.

Sylar:
How?

Emile Danko:
Find an anchor - something that reminds you of you. That way, when you're feeling lost, you'll have something to hang on to.

Sylar:
Agent Taub's a nothing. I don't like being a nothing.

Emile Danko:
Think of it this way: as Agent Taub, you can come and go, kill who you want to kill. If you're Sylar, I have no choice but to hunt you down - make your life a living hell. It's up to you.

Sylar:
I went to see my real father. He was so alone, so pathetic. I didn't want to become him, so I took this power, and now I can be anyone I want to be, anyone in the world. So tell me, mom - why do I feel so lost?

Virginia Grey:
You are not lost. You're my son! Maybe I didn't give birth to you, but I loved you. I wanted you right from the start. I saw how special you were.

Sylar:
But I killed you!

Virginia Grey:
And there was no one left to love you anymore. But now... I'm back.

Sylar:
How can I be special? How can I be anything... when I killed the only woman who ever loved me?

Sylar:
You're right - I can be anything I want. I can be President.

[he changes shape]

Sylar:
[as Nathan Petrelli] I won't let you down, Ma.

Nathan Petrelli:
[to Sylar] Get the hell out of my body.

Nathan Petrelli:
I don't need to defend myself to you. You're pathetic. You're a psychopath. People like you are the reason I went to the President in the first place. If you think for one minute anybody's gonna believe you're me, you're wrong.

Sylar:
I'm not gonna be you - I'm gonna be *better* than you.

Nathan Petrelli:
I started this, Pete. I gotta end it.

[last lines]

Sylar:
That hurt.

Sylar:
[as Nathan Petrelli, giving a speech] I know a way to bring real purpose back to the White House, back to this country, and I promise you that when the President agrees to meet with me, when he agrees to shake my hand, real change will come to this country, and nothing... will ever be the same.

Sylar:
[to Mohinder] Where is the heal-anything blood?

Molly Walker:
Please!

Sylar:
You had it here all along? You and I have trust issues, Doctor.

Sylar:
[after regaining his powers] I'm back.

[first lines]

Sylar:
Welcome home, Dr.Suresh!

Adam Monroe:
[retrieving the sword of Takezo Kensei from the unconscious Hiro] I believe this is mine, carp.

Nathan Petrelli:
You tried to do the right thing. You always do. You trusted that people are as good as you are. But if you see yourself as a monster, Pete, this guilt is just gonna eat you up inside. Believe me, I know.

Elle Bishop:
You said you knew all about my ability. Tell me what my dad did to me.

Noah Bennet:
I'm stuck in this hellhole, my family thinks I'm dead. There's not a lot of incentive to share.

Elle Bishop:
[creating an electric ball in her hand] I could make you tell me.

Noah Bennet:
[sarcastically] You could try.

Hiro Nakamura:
Flying man!

Claire Bennet:
[in a brainstorm] You won't leave me, will you, Mr. Muggles?

Hiro Nakamura:
Kensei! You were my friend.

Adam Monroe:
You were more than a friend to me. You were my inspiration. I was a rudderless drunk, and then you came along and taught me to be a hero.

Hiro Nakamura:
Only to have you become a villain.

Adam Monroe:
I learned that from you.

Noah Bennet:
They wanted to see how much wattage you could discharge - enough to power a flashlight - streetlamp - an entire city block? During testing you'd pass out from the strain. We'd all want to call it a day, but daddy said "No, my girl's tougher than that". You were seven... You know, the hardest thing a parent ever does...is to have to see their child in pain. Most parents.

Noah Bennet:
Hello, Claire-Bear...

Adam Monroe:
There's not much at stake here - just the fate of the entire human race.

Adam Monroe:
When God wasn't happy with what he created, he made it rain for forty days and forty nights. He just washed it all away.

Hiro Nakamura:
You are not God.

Adam Monroe:
Really? I've lived for over 400 years; who is to say I'm not going to live 400 more?

Sylar:
[after shooting Maya] Now look what you made me do.

Elle Bishop:
Sylar's gone. My dad's gonna kill me!

Mohinder Suresh:
I doubt that very much. If you hadn't arrived, Sylar would have slaughtered us all. We owe you our lives.

Elle Bishop:
Really? Cool...

Nathan Petrelli:
We've been used by these people - manipulated. But it's over. It stops here. No more secrets.

Nathan Petrelli:
Most of you have no idea who I am. My name is Nathan Petrelli, and I was elected to congress in the state of New York. Seems like a long time ago. I lost my position. I lost my brother. I lost my family. I'm sad to say that I lost my way. But while I was gone, I've had the chance to see the world through newly humbled eyes. Witnessed amazing things. Seen ordinary people among us trying their best each day - to be heroes. These ordinary people, like you, like me, are capable of extraordinary things. You have no idea how extraordinary. But there are other people - organizations, who don't want you to know the truth. I myself kept secrets. But last year, something incredible happened to me - and it changed my life. First...I was afraid. But I'm...I'm not afraid anymore. I'm here to tell you the truth.

[last lines]

Angela Petrelli:
[on the phone] You do know that you've now opened Pandora's box?

Matt Parkman:
[Nathan is flying with Parkman on his back] Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down, slow down, SLOW DOWN! [Nathan lands, drops Parkman and stretches out his back] OK. We don't talk about that... ever again.

Nathan Petrelli:
Agreed.

[last lines]

Claire Bennet:
Holy sh...!

Arthur Petrelli:
I think this eclipse showed us all exactly who we are - desperate, angry, and weak. Are you ready to get back to work?

Mohinder Suresh:
[showing signs of re-transformation] Look at me. Where else could I go?

Arthur Petrelli:
We'll find a cure. But that monster inside of you - that's something you're gonna have to take care of all by yourself.

Elle Bishop:
Do you think it's permanent?

Sylar:
What, our powers going away or us?

Peter Petrelli:
I needed to know how to be a hero without my powers.

Claire Bennet:
I needed you. And you weren't there again.

Noah Bennet:
I'm sorry. There was something I had to do.

Claire Bennet:
There is always "something you have to do". Work's just more important.

Noah Bennet:
Poor Gabriel. You always wanted to be special. Look at you now. You're nobody. [slits his throat]

Matt Parkman:
Life just took a lot from you, you were trying to take something back; I get that. We're all flawed - powers or no powers. But when it counts, you're a good person. I know it, and you know that I know it.

Daphne Millbrook:
So you forgive me?

Matt Parkman:
I'm not the one you need to ask forgiveness from. You came here for a reason, to set something right. Go do it, Speedy.

Matt Parkman:
You could be anywhere in the world right now; what are you still doing here?

Daphne Millbrook:
[arranging a scarecrow] I came to talk to Ray.

Matt Parkman:
Does Ray talk back?

Daphne Millbrook:
You reap what you sow.

Daphne Millbrook:
Last year I could barely move. And then there was an eclipse, and afterwards I could walk. And then I could run. And then I could run really fast. And now I'm back to where I started.

Sylar:
I've been thinking.

Elle Bishop:
About what?

Sylar:
What you said about finding ourselves free of parents - or powers.

Elle Bishop:
What about it?

Sylar:
You were wrong. Nobody ever really changes.

Elle Bishop:
You did. I saw you.

Sylar:
That was temporary. And then I got my powers back. And I understand now... that I'm never gonna change. Neither are you, because we're both just damaged goods.

[Hiro has locked himself in the bathroom of the comic book shop]

Sam:
You gotta get him out of my bathroom, man. What is his problem?

Ando Masahashi:
He doesn't want to grow up.

Sam:
Everyone has to grow up.

Sam:
[knocks on the bathroom door] Dude!

[Ando translates, Hiro answers in Japanese]

Ando Masahashi:
He says you guys didn't grow up. You read comic books and eat junk food.

[cut to Frack, who is reading a comic book and eating junk food]

Sam:
If you were Hiro - you're not, but - if you were, you would know that... saving the world comes before everything else.

[Ando translates for him again, and Hiro replies]

Ando Masahashi:
He says look what happens when I try. My father is dead. Why bother being a hero?

Sam:
Because you give people hope. And anybody, even a lonely office drone, can make a difference. You don't have to be a billionaire like Batman, or an alien like Superman. You just have to believe.

[Samedi is about to sell a girl to prostitution]

Nathan Petrelli:
I'm not gonna let you do this!

Samedi:
You? You are just a man. And I am their god.

Samedi:
Some believe that if you know a man's name, you can possess him. Others believe that names grant great strength.

Nathan Petrelli:
Is that why you call yourself 'Baron Samedi'? People worship you like a God?

Samedi:
Is that why you took the title 'Senator'?

[Suresh prepares an injection for Flint]

Flint Gordon:
Is this going to give me my powers back?

Mohinder Suresh:
It'll help track the changes your body's going through.

Flint Gordon:
You really think I'm that kind of stupid, Doc?

Mohinder Suresh:
Honestly? Yeah, I did.

[takes the microscope and slams it over Flint's head]

Hiro Nakamura, Sam:
[respectively] Best day ever!

Noah Bennet:
Gabriel you always wanted to be special. Look at you now... you're nobody.

Sam:
There's a legend I heard from a guy at a convention who heard it from a dude who heard it from another dude that one more "9th Wonders" story exists.

Ando Masahashi:
Where?

Sam:
The day that he died Isaac Mendez bequeathed his sketchbook to a humble bike messenger. You find that messenger, you find your story.

Claire Bennet:
[when arriving at the carnival] I always said I belonged in a freak show. I just never took it so literally.

Angela Petrelli:
Please, Peter, think about what you're doing.

Peter Petrelli:
I have. Gonna go get Nathan back.

Angela Petrelli:
What happens when you find out there's not a Nathan to get back?

Peter Petrelli:
I guess I'll just settle for revenge.

Sylar:
Listen, Peter. I'm pretty disappointed in you. Your plan was to syringe me in the neck with drugs. Wasn't that the old plan? I mean, don't get me wrong, congrats for... pulling it off in the first place. But fool me twice, you know?

Peter Petrelli:
[coming from behind] Yeah, I know.

[whacks Sylar over the head with a plank]

Samuel Sullivan:
[to Eli the multiplier] I wanna ask a favor. With Edgar gone, will you do me the honor of being my right-hand man? Or should I say 'men'?

Noah Bennet:
[on the multiplier] One of them is a prime. We shoot him, we get rid of the rest.

Lauren Gilmore:
It took us two weeks to find the one in Tulsa. What's the plan here?

Noah Bennet:
Shoot them all and hope for the best.

Samuel Sullivan:
The path of least resistance is sometimes the wisest.

Peter Petrelli:
Remember the last time we were up here?

Nathan Petrelli:
Yep. Yeah, I do. You were standing on that edge right there. Like an idiot. Asking me about Dad's depression. Asking me if I could fly.

Peter Petrelli:
Do you remember what you said?

Nathan Petrelli:
I said we could both fly.

Peter Petrelli:
No, no, no. Before that.

[Nathan tries to remember, without success]

Peter Petrelli:
You denied it.

Nathan Petrelli:
[nonchalantly] It was an election year.

[Claire has second thoughts about entering the carnival]

Gretchen Berg:
We've been on the road for a day. But you've been on this road your whole life, and it's led you here. So you have to at least check it out.

Samuel Sullivan:
I know I can look a little scary from the outside; but you'll get used to it.

[in Lydia's parlor]

Claire Bennet:
[takes Lydia's hand] Am I supposed to be here?

[on Lydia's back appears Claire's image with the caption "Indestructible Girl"]

[... ]

Claire Bennet:
What, am I... am I gonna have a circus act?

Lydia:
[chuckles] This isn't the future, Claire. This is your desire.

Claire Bennet:
Maybe I can be the girl who gets sawed in half every night.

Gretchen Berg:
Now, that's something to aspire to.

[after Claire had a friendly encounter with Doyle]

Gretchen Berg:
Explain to me how you're BFFs with a carny?

Claire Bennet:
He kidnapped me once. Tried to get my mom to shoot me, but... I got over it.

Gretchen Berg:
Excuse me?

Peter Petrelli:
We made it through. Together. Made it through all the craziness, you and me. We can make it through anything, Nathan.

Nathan Petrelli:
Even death?

Peter Petrelli:
Why not?

Nathan Petrelli:
You're gonna have to carry on for the both of us, Pete. Okay? You tell Mom I love her. You take care of Claire. Fight the good fight. You've always been everything that's good in the world, Pete.

Peter Petrelli:
Nathan...

Nathan Petrelli:
And I got a feeling the world ain't seen nothing yet.

Peter Petrelli:
I can't do this without you.

Nathan Petrelli:
You can do anything, Pete. Anything. Remember that. I love you.

[last lines]

Samuel Sullivan:
My brother Joseph had the right idea. He believed that alone, this family would be safe. And that idea has worked for us for years. But how long can we live like this, wandering in the desert without a home? Times change, and we need to change with them. We need to stop running, stop living in the shadows. We should be stronger; the problem is, there's simply too few of us to make a stand. If we are truly to be great, we need to grow our ranks, bring in new members. And the newest among us cannot be shackled with the same burden we've borne, wandering like nomads. They deserve a home. A promised land. Now, I thought a lot about exactly where this homeland should be, and I keep coming back to this very spot. Here we will plant roots, and build a life, a community. Here we will be oppressed no longer, here we will live our lives on our own terms. But none of that can happen until we have gathered the rest. And when we have done that, we will return to this place. We will wander no longer. We will finally... be home.

Sylar:
The indestructible girl, who can't put herself out there to get hurt.

Claire Bennet:
You're gonna slice my head open again?

Sylar:
I've evolved way beyond that. My friend Lydia gave me a much more precise instrument. She could read someone, just by touching them - see into the very depths of their soul. Of course, her methods were a little hyper-erotic but... Oh, what the hell. It is college, isn't it?

Sylar:
I don't wanna be alone. And somehow, you're supposed to help me.

Claire Bennet:
I wouldn't help you if my life depended on it.

Sylar:
It's not your life you should be concerned about.

Gretchen Berg:
Getting used to being all perils of Pauline.

[Sylar is listing several commonalities between himself and Claire]

Claire Bennet:
I get it. Okay, we have a few arbitrary things in common. What is your point?

Sylar:
My point is, they're not arbitrary. They're formative. The basic building blocks of our lives; and we have the same blocks. Yet here we are - content college co-ed... and me. How did we end up so different?

Claire Bennet:
You want to know what the difference is? You're a psychopath! Mystery solved.

Gretchen Berg:
So, Sylar, huh? *The* Sylar?

Claire Bennet:
Yes. Well, no. Kind of the EMO-apologist version. He's had me trying to figure out what his issues are.

Gretchen Berg:
Seriously? How'd that go?

Claire Bennet:
Pencil in the eye.

Kaito Nakamura:
[in the role of the judge] What is the case before us?

Adam Monroe:
The world versus Hiro Nakamura, your honor.

Hiro Nakamura:
The what versus what?

Hiro Nakamura:
This is some bad dream or tumor hallucination.

Hiro Nakamura:
I found myself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong.

Adam Monroe:
Objection, your honor. He's reciting the opening to "Quantum Leap".

Ando Masahashi:
The defense calls Hiro Nakamura to the stand.

Hiro Nakamura:
[aghast] Have you seen "Law & Order"? That always backfires.

[defendant Hiro in the witness stand]

Ando Masahashi:
Mr. Nakamura, how long have you known the defendant?

Hiro Nakamura:
Seriously? All my life.

Claire Bennet:
I wanna hold your hand.

[she clasps her hand with Gretchen's]

Gretchen Berg:
People are gonna start to talk.

Claire Bennet:
Let 'em talk. Talking's good. In fact, I could use some talking if you still have a sympathetic ear.

Gretchen Berg:
I, in fact, have two ears.

Hiro Nakamura:
If this is the end, then I want to go out with honor, doing the right thing. I want to go out a hero.

Kaito Nakamura:
Go, my son. Fight for your honor.

Hiro Nakamura:
The tumor - I thought I could fight it, that I could beat science. But I can't. Mother - I'm ready to go.

Ishi Nakamura:
No, Hiro. Some things are more powerful than science. Like destiny.

Samuel Sullivan:
Now I'm done trying to change myself for you. Trying to fit into your world. To play by your rules. From now on... you're all gonna play it by mine!

[Hiro overhears Hope speaking to someone on the phone and referring to him and Ando as Chinese; she spots him hiding]

Hope:
Oh, Hiro, there you are. Where's the bag?

Hiro Nakamura:
We are not Chinese, we are Japanese.

Hope:
Whatever. Where's the bag?

Hiro Nakamura:
You are bad person. You may have fooled Ando, but you don't fool me.

Hope:
Thanks for the help, Sulu

Thompson:
Are you on the list?

[first lines]

Nathan Petrelli:
[answering the phone] Hello?

Meredith Gordon:
[on the phone] You might not remember me - we haven't spoken in a long time- and I just had... our daughter just found me. Did you hear what I just said? She's alive. We need to talk, Nathan.

Nathan Petrelli:
[on the phone] Meredith?

Meredith Gordon:
[on the phone] Nathan, we need to talk.

Nathan Petrelli:
[on the phone] It's been fourteen years. I went to your funeral.

Noah Bennet:
[about Sandra Bennet] She had an appointment with a neurologist, who ran some tests.

Claire Bennet:
What kind of tests?

Noah Bennet:
Your mother's been having some headaches.

Claire Bennet:
Yeah, she's also been having some memory losses. You tell them that?

Noah Bennet:
Of course, Claire. I'm handling it.

Sandra Bennet:
Don't worry about it, honey. I'll be fine. Mr. Muggles isn't worried, is he? No, he's not.

Niki Sanders:
D.L won't be fooled.

Jessica Sanders:
Sure he will. Love is blind and if last night is any indication he won't be able to see anything for a long time.

Micah Sanders:
[to his parents] Are we ever gonna talk about it?

D.L. Hawkins:
Talk about what?

Micah Sanders:
What we can do. Our powers. I just feel like we're supposed to be fighting crime or something.

Aron Malsky:
I'm Malsky.

Matt Parkman:
Matt Parkman. Here to protect you, Sir.

Jessica Sanders:
[looking at a photo of Malsky] Bang!

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Face it, Hiro. It's a lost cause.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Ando, I will never give up. And neither should you. More than anything, a hero must have hope.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Fine. You figure out how to get into Linderman's office... I will find hope.

Ando Masahashi:
[talking to a lady in a princess costume] Excuse me. Are you okay, Miss? Anything we can do to help?

Hope:
No, I couldn't possibly... I mean... We're complete strangers.

Ando Masahashi:
I'm Ando and this is my friend Hiro.

Hope:
Hi. I'm Hope.

Aron Malsky:
Listen Parkman, the job is simple. You drive me downtown, we meet a man, I make a deal then you drive me back to the airport. You just make sure no one bothers me... that includes you.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] You said I needed to find Hope. It's a sign!

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] It's a coincidence.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] How come whenever you want to do something, it's our destiny. But when I want to do something, it's not important.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] "A hero never runs".

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Stop saying the things I say to you!

Zane Taylor:
Dr. Suresh...?

Sylar:
[pretending to be Mohinder Suresh] Yes... yes...

Zane Taylor:
Thank God... come in, come in...

Nathan Petrelli:
I cared about Meredith once. I owe her more than a phone call, I owe them both. Besides I'm this girl's father.

Angela Petrelli:
You're a glorified sperm donor. Don't get so attached.

Nathan Petrelli:
How can you be so cold?

Angela Petrelli:
Because I know you, Nathan. And under that gruff exterior, you're a sap.

Angela Petrelli:
[to Nathan] We reap what we sow Nathan, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Meredith Gordon:
[to Claire] [on the phone] Why don't I talk to him, and we'll see what he says. You know what, Claire. I actually have to go, but I'll call you later, alright? I love you.

Noah Bennet:
But this behavior, it's unacceptable. You're grounded young lady. You're to be home everyday at five o' clock sharp until further notice.

Claire Bennet:
What? You can't do that! You have no right!

Noah Bennet:
I'm your father!

Claire Bennet:
Not my real father.

Noah Bennet:
Well, I'm not. But I'm as close as you got. So you'll stay home at night, until you earn our trust back.

Matt Parkman:
Sir, sir, please. We have got to get out of here right now. This is a setup.

Aron Malsky:
What? How do you know that?

Matt Parkman:
I just do, you have to trust me.

[Malsky dumps money out of case]

Matt Parkman:
We got a deal, I got to run.

Jessica Sanders:
[Matt reads Jessica's thoughts] Two in the bodyguard, then Malsky gets one in the gut.

Hope:
[on the phone] I do all the work, he takes half the profit? I'm sick of it! No, I got these two Chinese guys to help me out. Turned on the water works and they were mine. Yep. They're getting the suitcases as we speak.

Niki Sanders:
You can't do this. You have to stop!

Jessica Sanders:
Don't worry, Niki, I don't plan on being little Miss Homemaker forever. I just gotta lay low for a while.

Niki Sanders:
You're chasing two men with a gun in broad daylight. You call this laying low? This is my life, my child. You can't do this.

Meredith Gordon:
[to Claire] Your daddy, he's a, how do I explain this? When your daddy found out that I was pregnant with you... What I'm trying to say is that you can't count on him. But, he'll give us cash because that's easy but anything else, he'll just disappoint you.

Mohinder Suresh:
Zane Taylor?

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] Yes. You must be Dr. Suresh. Come on in. Can I get you some tea?

Mohinder Suresh:
Sorry it took me so long to get here.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] No, it's no problem. Is earl grey okay?

Mohinder Suresh:
Yes, it ought to be fine. You umm sounded rather alarmed on the phone. You seemed to have calmed down some.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] I had a kind of epiphany about it this morning.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] All this time I was trying to fight it, deny it. But there is no shame in having this ability, is there?

Mohinder Suresh:
None whatsoever, it would be like denying you have brown eyes.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] Right.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] You might wanna step back. That looks like a nice jacket. [liquefies toaster]

Mohinder Suresh:
My God!

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] You wanna see it again?

Mohinder Suresh:
There are others out there like you.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor ] Really? How many others?

Mohinder Suresh:
Dozens. And those are just the ones I know about it. With more time and research I could find hundreds, thousands. But you're the first one who's returned my phone calls. But I am going to find them. All of them.

Sylar:
[pretending to be Zane Taylor] I could go with you. I could help you.

Jessica Sanders:
[over the phone] What Mr. Linderman wants, Mr. Linderman gets.

Hiro Nakamura:
[making the "Live long and prosper" hand-sign from Star Trek] I come in peace.

Mohinder Suresh:
[narrating voice-over] To survive in this world, we hold close to us those people on whom we depend. We trust in them our hopes, our fears.

Mohinder Suresh:
[narrating voice-over] But what happens when trust is lost? Where do we run when things we believe in vanish before our eyes?

[last lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[narrating voice-over] When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril...

Niki Sanders:
[on the phone] Yeah, I remember him... No problem... Consider it done.

Mohinder Suresh:
[narrating voice-over]... all we can do... is run.

[first lines]

Nathan Petrelli:
It's all happening so fast. My life is a speeding train, and I'm not sure where it's headed. But one thing is certain - I've been given a second chance. Touched by God, I've got to believe that He has a purpose for my life. So why am I filled with self-doubt? Plagued by demons, real - and imaginary? Frightened by the challenges ahead and haunted by the ghosts of my past. Does God know what I am? Do I? Am I an angel or a monster? A hero or a villain? And why can't I see the difference?

[repeated line]

Various:
You are a monster!

Stephen Canfield:
You were right, Claire. My wife... my kids... They're afraid of me. [gets out of the carousel]

Stephen Canfield:
Maybe I am a monster.

Noah Bennet:
[holding a gun at Stephen's head] Couldn't put it better.

Adam Monroe:
You little Japanese Nazi!

Hiro Nakamura:
He said look tough - not like Mr. Roboto.

Hiro Nakamura:
We have changed. We are badasses now!

Ando Masahashi:
Yes. We are very badass.

Adam Monroe:
[after Hiro has send him back into the coffin] Let me out of here, you sawed-off little Japanese cretin!

Arthur Petrelli:
You can see the future. I can't have that. It's too dangerous.

Angela Petrelli:
You won't succeed. I'll stop you.

Arthur Petrelli:
Don't be ridiculous. You won't even be able to move.

[Nathan tries to stop Tracy from going public with her ability]

Nathan Petrelli:
I've been there. I understand, I... I wanted to tell the world, I even called a press conference.

Tracy Strauss:
What happened?

Nathan Petrelli:
I got shot. I died. And then I saw God. And I truly believe with all my heart that he's got a higher purpose for us.

Nathan Petrelli:
You're not a messenger from God.

Daniel Linderman:
Moses saw a burning bush; Mary heard the angels. God came to Samuel in his dreams.

Nathan Petrelli:
And I've got a dead mobster telling me he's the voice of God.

Nathan Petrelli:
[after learning about the secret behind his own ability] It wasn't God...

Angela Petrelli:
We were trying to be better than God.

Angela Petrelli:
Someone has stolen the formula; they want to restart this project. They want to create a world filled with dangerous people - deadly, out of control. They will destroy everything. Please help me stop them.

Nathan Petrelli:
Go to hell.

Sylar:
[to Bennet] Claire finally sees you for what you are - a user. Isn't that right, Claire? You used her to try to find that poor man, and you used him to try to kill me because to you... I'm nothing but a monster.

Sylar:
[turns to Claire] He doesn't see our humanity, Claire. He never will.

Daniel Linderman:
No pain, no gain.

Stephen Canfield:
They locked me away. No lawyer, no trial... I love my wife. I love my children. I just want to see 'em again. Hold them. Even if it's for the last time. I just want to be normal.

Stephen Canfield:
You people... You've taken everything from me! [... ]

Stephen Canfield:
I won't be a monster! [opens a vortex and lets himself get sucked in]

Claire Bennet:
I cannot believe you know how to make a fake ID. Where did you learn that? Dad?

Sandra Bennet:
No. Claire, believe it or not, I was a teenager once, an enterprising one, not unlike you, young lady. Oh, there was this band once I just had to see - Def Leppard... Oh my God, Rick Savage... bass player... so cute. Oh, what I would have given to...

Claire Bennet:
Mom!

Sandra Bennet:
Sorry.

[Sylar is "playing" with Luke]

Luke Campbell:
[whining] Why are you doing this to me?

Sylar:
Because you're here and I need to express my feelings. You used me, for some joyride and escape. I've got news for you, kid - there is no escape. There's only pain. And you can never outrun it, no matter what you do, no matter where you go.

Sandra Bennet:
Those "pool cleaners" have been parked out there for four hours. Nobody's pool is that dirty.

Claire Bennet:
I have a plan. I just haven't thought of it yet.

Peter Petrelli:
Two guys pushing thoughts is better than one.

Noah Bennet:
I wouldn't go out there if I were you.

Emile Danko:
You're not me.

[Sandra Bennet has taken Lyle's driver's license off him on some flimsy pretext]

Alex Woolsey:
That was harsh.

Sandra Bennet:
He's a terrible driver anyway.

Claire Bennet:
Just another day in the Bennet house.

Mohinder Suresh:
When confronted by our worst nightmares, the choices are few. Fight - or flight? We hope to find the strength to stand against our fears. But sometimes, despite ourselves, we run. What if the nightmare gives chase? Where can we hide then?

[last lines]

Peter Petrelli:
I can't hide anymore. I can't hide.

Elle Bishop:
I was hoping you could help me. I'm looking for a guy...

Ricky:
Best time for that's right after a football match. Fellers are locked out of their minds, up for anything.

Peter Petrelli:
Weren't you the one who didn't want me to look in that box?

Caitlin:
I only said that because you hadn't kissed me yet.

[he kisses her]

Peter Petrelli:
Now that you have, you done with me?

Caitlin:
Gettin' there. After all, a pretty boy like you... there's bound to be someone waiting for you - friends, a girlfriend...

Peter Petrelli:
Let 'em look.

Nathan Petrelli:
Listen, I have to do this. Let me come with you.

Matt Parkman:
Fine. We can probably get there faster. You know, 'cause you can, uh... [he makes a gesture towards the air]

Molly won't last like this. They are the only people who can understand what's happening to her.

Noah Bennet:
Don't do this. The moment you trust them with what you care about most, they'll have you. Don't forget whose side you're on.

Mohinder Suresh:
I'm on her side.

Micah Sanders:
[about his and Monica's powers] I think it runs in the family. I mean... maybe not exactly like me, but... My dad could walk through walls.

Monica Dawson:
D.L.?

Micah Sanders:
Yeah. And my mom... Don't even get me started on my mom.

Hiro Nakamura:
Save the cheerleader; save the world.

Hiro Nakamura:
Oh, waffles! YOOHOO!

Nathan Petrelli:
All right, I get it. A guy in his pajamas. Ha ha. Now we can all stare and have a good laugh, or one of you can lend me your cell phone.

Hiro Nakamura:
Up, up, and away!

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice over] When a change comes, some species feel the urge to migrate. They call it zugunruhe. A pull of the soul to a far-off place. Following a scent in the wind, a star in the sky. The ancient message comes, calling the kindred to take flight and gather together. Only then can they hope to survive the cruel season to come.

Hiro Nakamura:
Peter Petrelli?

Peter Petrelli:
What? Are you doing this?

Hiro Nakamura:
You look different without the scar.

Peter Petrelli:
I don't know you.

Hiro Nakamura:
Not yet. My name is Hiro Nakamura. I'm from the future, and I have a message for you. I don't have much time. I'm risking a rift just by coming here. The girl. You have to save her.

Peter Petrelli:
What girl?

Hiro Nakamura:
The cheerleader. It's the only way to prevent it.

Peter Petrelli:
Prevent what?

Hiro Nakamura:
Everything. Listen to me. She must live. The painter, Isaac, go to him. He will know. When I call you, you must tell me where we meet. You've told me many times how lost you felt before it all started. *This* is what you've been waiting for. Be the one we need. [walks away]

Peter Petrelli:
Wait!

Hiro Nakamura:
[steps out of Nathan's limo] Vote Petrelli!

Nathan Petrelli:
Early and often.

Matt Parkman:
That's nice. What, a guy can't pretend to, uh, cook dinner for his wife without being accused of cheating on her?

Nathan Petrelli:
Two million dollars makes me a candidate in your pocket. Four million makes me a congressman. [gives a big smile]

Janice Parkman:
I don't know what to say!

Matt Parkman:
How about 'pass the salad'?

Nathan Petrelli:
Do you have any idea who I am?

Mr. Bennet:
Better than even you do.

Mohinder Suresh:
There are no answers. Go home, Peter.

Matt Parkman:
'Cause we're calling in sick today!

Janice Parkman:
No.

Matt Parkman:
Oh, yeah!

Janice Parkman:
No!

Matt Parkman:
I got it all planned out. You just go get dressed.

Janice Parkman:
I'm dressed!

Matt Parkman:
No! Something nicer. Come on!

Peter Petrelli:
Isaac, I need your help.

Isaac Mendez:
You need help? Ask Simone.

Peter Petrelli:
It's her. The cheerleader.

Peter Petrelli:
I saw it.

Isaac Mendez:
What?

Peter Petrelli:
I saw something in the uh, in the canvas, the picture. This painting. I can finish it.

Isaac Mendez:
You can paint?

Peter Petrelli:
No, no I can't. But I drew the future after I saw you the other day. It was only stick figures, but... it came true.

Detective:
Miss Sanders?

Niki Sanders:
Uh-huh.

Detective:
Is this your husband, Miss?

Niki Sanders:
Yeah.

Hiro Nakamura:
Using my powers for personal gain. That's the Dark Side.

[last lines]

Peter Petrelli:
[answers phone] Hello?

Hiro Nakamura:
Mr. Isaac? Isaac Mendez?

Peter Petrelli:
Who is this?

Hiro Nakamura:
Uh... [Hiro and Ando both put ears to phone] My name is Hiro Nakamura.

Peter Petrelli:
My name is Peter Petrelli. I have a message for you.

Nathan Petrelli:
Who do you want to be?

Niki Sanders:
Someone good. A good mother. Not the person that I see in the mirror.

Nathan Petrelli:
Look, I don't know how much of last night was an act, and how much was you. The girl I met, that's the kind of girl you spend your entire life waiting to meet. Somebody strong, somebody beautiful, somebody... good.

Peter Petrelli:
Something's gonna happen to this girl. We need to know what. You have to finish this. You-you have to finish the painting.

Nathan Petrelli:
What the hell did you to me?

Niki Sanders:
I could ask you the same thing. All I know is that I woke up in your room somehow and you were gone.

Niki Sanders:
[to Nathan] They blackmailed me just like they're gonna blackmail you.

Ms. Sakamoto:
[to Nathan] For a man whose campaign is founded on sound family values, this could be really embarrassing for you, especially considering your wife.

Janice Parkman:
[to Matt] I love you. It's like you're in my head.

Janice Parkman:
[to Matt after he makes dinner] You were missing for a day and now this.

Peter Petrelli:
Wait, Hiro. I don't understand. Hiro? Where are you? I don't understand.

Peter Petrelli:
[about Hiro] He says that we all meet up somehow. Sometime in the future, I guess.

Mohinder Suresh:
I see.

Peter Petrelli:
It seems crazy, but I know what I saw. He said something bad is gonna happen, but we can stop it. But first we have to... save the cheerleader.

Detective:
We'll leave a squad car outside in case you husband decides to show outside, Miss Sanders.

Niki Sanders:
Thank you.

[later that night in the darkness ]

Niki Sanders:
Hello?

Nathan Petrelli:
Can I help you?

Hiro Nakamura:
Hiro. Hiro Nakamura.

Nathan Petrelli:
Oh. Nathan Petrelli.

[they shake hands]

Hiro Nakamura:
Petrelli, listen. Very nice to meet you...

Nathan Petrelli:
Thank you.

Hiro Nakamura:
[whispering] Flying man! Oh, you fly. I see you! Whoosh!

Nathan Petrelli:
Thank you. I don't know what you're talking about.

Hiro Nakamura:
Oh, it's okay. I keep secret. I bend time and space! Teleported into future! We are both special!

Nathan Petrelli:
Alrighty then.

Hiro Nakamura:
Oh, I-I go to New York. I see future. Big bomb goes there. Bad for many people. [makes exploding noises]

Nathan Petrelli:
I can see where that might be a problem.

Hiro Nakamura:
Don't worry. I stop it. I'm a hero.

Nathan Petrelli:
Lucky us. Gotta go. In this future that you see? You don't happen to know whether or not I win the election, do you?

Hiro Nakamura:
Nathan Petrelli. Nathan. Hai! Hai! Hai! Yes! I know you! Nathan Petrelli! Election. You win. Very big win. Mudslide.

Nathan Petrelli:
I gotta get back to Vegas.

Hiro Nakamura:
Give me ride-o? Please? Ride-o? [imitates car horn] Boo-boo!

Nathan Petrelli:
Sure. Well, what the hell? What did you say your name was?

Hiro Nakamura:
Hiro Nakamura.

Nathan Petrelli:
And where are you from?

Hiro Nakamura:
Tokyo, Japan.

Nathan Petrelli:
Ah, never been there.

Nathan Petrelli:
[cornered by Mr Bennet and the Haitian] You might as well go ahead and shoot now. Because I'll find you and I will kill you.

Mr. Bennet:
Unlikely, Mr Petrelli.

Nathan Petrelli:
I've seen your faces.

Mr. Bennet:
That, I'm afraid, won't be a problem. [to the Haitian] Put him down.

[the Haitian moves towards Nathan who flies away super fast leaving him and Mr Bennet staring at the sky]

Hiro Nakamura:
[after getting thrown out of a van; in Japanese] That hurt more than I thought it would.

Ando Masahashi:
[in English] You bastards! You don't know who you're messing with!

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I don't think they can hear you.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Well it makes me feel better!

Mr. Bennet:
[to his daughter's attacker] Shhh... Claire is a very special girl. It's confusing what's happening to her, and she doesn't need some punk making her life any more difficult, do you understand me? I should kill you, but instead I'm gonna do you a favor. You already threw away this life; I'm gonna give you a second chance. I'm gonna let you forget all the terrible things you've done. And maybe this time, when you wake up in your new life, you'll make something decent of it. Shhh... [to The Haitian] Hollow him out. Take everything.

Jeremy Greer:
Everything I touch dies.

[first lines]

Samuel Sullivan:
A broken vessel. An empty shell. What is a man without mind? Without memory? A ghost? A body, in search of a soul? With no compass to guide us, how can we know if our destiny is to seek the good... or obey the demons that whisper in our ear? The blank slate hungers to be written upon. The body thrives when the heart has a mission.

Claire Bennet:
Peter? How'd you get in the bathroom?

Peter Petrelli:
It's been a long time since I've... teleported.

Hiro Nakamura:
And now, to assist Hiro the Magnificent, please welcome to the stage Emma the... also Magnificent!

Hiro Nakamura:
Oh - go away! I have no more blood left! No more blood!

Emma Coolidge:
Blood? Uh... I'm sorry, I... I read lips, but yours move differently.

Hiro Nakamura:
Oh, sorry. Japanese accent.

Hiro Nakamura:
I am the master of time and space. Well, I was. Lately, time and space has been the master of me.

Hiro Nakamura:
Manifesting a power is a wondrous time. A hero never refuses the call.

Emma Coolidge:
I'm deaf. I can't hear the call.

Emma Coolidge:
How can you be so focused helping others, knowing what it might cost?

Hiro Nakamura:
I had a friend once. She knew she was dying, but that didn't push her off her path. She told me to keep joy and dignity alive, even in the face of death.

Hiro Nakamura:
There are no bad powers, Emma. You just have to understand them. And when you do, you will learn to use your powers to do good things in the world.

Samuel Sullivan:
What do we call you? Gabriel? Sylar? Take a deep breath. What's the first name that pops into your head?

Sylar:
Call me Nathan.

Samuel Sullivan:
We need to jump-start the real Sylar. Wake the sleeping lion.

Sylar:
You just met me. You would take me in here, knowing what I've done, knowing who I am?

Samuel Sullivan:
We're family. Family accepts. Family forgives.

Edgar:
What use is he to us like this? What use is a lion that can't kill?

Samuel Sullivan:
Maybe it's better this way. We just make a better Sylar. And when we do... he'll be ours forever.

Danko:
[about Claire] She is the special one with the soft spot in the senator's soft heart.

Noah Bennet:
That's right.

Danko:
You're a dime a dozen. And eleven of the twelve are unreliable.

Noah Bennet:
You know you're going to be seen as a villain? Locking people away?

Nathan Petrelli:
I'll play whatever role I need to.

Noah Bennet:
Claire will never look at you the same way again.

Nathan Petrelli:
Claire never needs to know a thing.

Noah Bennet:
But she will - they all will, and they will blame you. They won't understand.

Nathan Petrelli:
I have gone so far off the rails with this, so far around the bend. I nearly killed my own brother. And I just want to have a chance to make things right.

Noah Bennet:
I joined the Company for a reason; and that reason doesn't disappear just because your mother decides to turn off the lights.

Nathan Petrelli:
I thought you'd enjoy the extra-time with your family.

Noah Bennet:
There's only so many crossword puzzles I can do.

Noah Bennet:
Primatech had a system - one of us, one of them.

Danko:
Working alongside people with abilities?

Noah Bennet:
It helps to even the odds.

Danko:
Yes, I read your files. I think we'd be better served with one of us, and one of us.

Noah Bennet:
I'm sorry?

Danko:
Or ten of us - twelve of us, and none of them.

Danko:
By your own admission, your way didn't exactly work. Prisoners escaping, loyalty issues - it was a mess.

Noah Bennet:
A mess? For twenty years I was successful in making sure that people like you never knew people like them even existed.

Danko:
You don't presume to know anything about me.

Noah Bennet:
I've read your files too, Mr. Danko. I've known men like you.

Danko:
Is that right?

Noah Bennet:
Sure. Simple, unconnected, take your work home with you, you're never off the job - you think that makes you perfect.

Danko:
Not perfect. Just better than you.

Peter Petrelli:
[to Danko] You really should lock your windows.

Noah Bennet:
This job is about understanding their humanity, not their ability. But you have to be human to do that.

Matt Parkman:
You think you deserve this, to be hunted, after all that you've done.

Mohinder Suresh:
You're reading *my* mind?

Matt Parkman:
I don't have to read your mind. You're an open book!

Danko:
All that time you worked at your Company, danced the fine line between Company man, family man... I'm not much for dancing.

Noah Bennet:
You're oversimplifying it.

Danko:
I think you're overcomplicating it - hunting them while harboring them... To win this war for good, it takes focus. And yours is just a little split right now.

Angela Petrelli:
There's no halfway anymore. You're gonna have to play the role, make tough choices to prove your loyalty to them, to their cause.

Noah Bennet:
You know me - I've always been comfortable with morally gray.

[last lines]

Hiro Nakamura:
[as the Future Hiro] My name is Hiro Nakamura. I'm from the future. I have a message for you.

Mohinder Suresh:
Your life may be in danger. I believe someone is targeting you.

Nathan Petrelli:
Can you be a little bit more specific? Twelve percent of the electorate strongly opposes me.

Nathan Petrelli:
[to Peter] Don't insult me. I've got trained professionals that do that.

Simone Deveraux:
[seen wearing only Peter's shirt] Hey! Where's your mugs?

Peter Petrelli:
Hey. It's... uh... They're in the cabinet, with the water stain that looks like Abraham Lincoln.

Matt Parkman:
What are you, FBI? Huh? What, are you CIA?

Mr. Bennet:
I'm not part of any organization that has initials.

Matt Parkman:
Listen to me. Whoever you think I am, believe me, I'm not him. I'm not... I'm not anyone.

Mr. Bennet:
Oh, that's not true. You're someone. You're someone very special.

Mohinder Suresh:
Look at what's happening to our planet: over-population, global warming, drought, famine, terrorism - deep down we all sense something's not right. My father always talked about how an entire species will go extinct, while others no more unique or complex will change and adapt in extraordinary ways- He had a romantic take on evolution.

Peter Petrelli:
And you don't? You're both geneticists.

Mohinder Suresh:
That is also evolution. We're all just variations of the last model.

Peter Petrelli:
Ch'yeah. We're just cheap knock-offs of our fathers.

Niki Sanders:
I don't have a husband. He left.

Nathan Petrelli:
For another woman?

Niki Sanders:
I wish.

Nathan Petrelli:
Man?

Niki Sanders:
[laughs] I would take that one too.

Niki Sanders:
[as Jessica, Niki's alter ego] Niki's not here right now.

Ando Masahashi:
[after winning in a game of roulette] I won! I won! Did you see? I won!

Hiro Nakamura:
Okay. Let's leave now.

Ando Masahashi:
Thank you. Now? Are you kidding? I'm on a roll!

Hiro Nakamura:
No. You're not.

Ando Masahashi:
But I just won. Big.

Hiro Nakamura:
I did it. I stopped time. Moved the ball. You won because of me.

[Ando looks at Hiro surprised]

Hiro Nakamura:
It's horrible. I'm a terrible person. But it was our last dollar.

Ando Masahashi:
It's genius. Do it again!

Hiro Nakamura:
No! It's cheating.

Ando Masahashi:
Is Peter Parker cheating when he sells pictures of Spider-Man?

Hiro Nakamura:
No.

Ando Masahashi:
All heroes have a system. This is our system.

Hiro Nakamura:
[smiles and shouts in English] Let it ride!

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voiceover] Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers. How is this happening? What are they? Why them and not others? Why now? What does it all mean?

Matt Parkman:
I was at a bar, having a beer.

Mr. Bennet:
Everything you see, by tomorrow, it won't matter.

Matt Parkman:
Who's Claire?

Mr. Bennet:
You're further along than we thought. [to the Haitian] Go deep. Then clean him out.

Ms. Sakamoto:
There's a man arriving this afternoon from New York. A politician who wants some help from Mr. Linderman. We're looking for a little insurance on our investment.

Niki Sanders:
And you want me to...? I'm not a whore.

Ms. Sakamoto:
I think we've established what you are.

Campaign Manager:
I don't know about this. I mean, it just makes me nervous.

Nathan Petrelli:
It's your job to be nervous. It's my job to get elected. In order to do that I need money. Linderman's two million, we could turn eight points into three and make it a horse race.

Peter Petrelli:
What if he can? Paint the future, I mean? Stranger things, right?

Simone Deveraux:
No, that's about as strange as it gets.

Simone Deveraux:
Peter, I... uh, I don't know what this is. I mean, us. You know, I just got out of a two year relationship that was very destructive. And here I am sleeping with the guy who was taking care of my dying father and it's a little confusing.

Peter Petrelli:
I don't wanna be the rebound guy.

Simone Deveraux:
I just need time to catch my breath before you take it away again. Okay?

Mr. Bennet:
[Claire's dad sees her muddy feet] Were you out all night?

Claire Bennet:
No.

Mr. Bennet:
Were you with the quarterback?

Claire Bennet:
Yeah. Yeah, it was just a bunch of us. It was stupid, I'm sorry.

Sandra Bennet:
Honey, you're gonna miss your plane!

Mr. Bennet:
Be there in a second. [to Claire] I'm very disappointed in you.

Claire Bennet:
Nothing happened. We played poker. I'm sorry.

Mr. Bennet:
I love you, Claire. I just want you to be honest with me. You can tell me anything. You know that.

Claire Bennet:
I know. I love you too.

Mr. Bennet:
Don't think you're getting away with this staying-out-all-night thing. There's gonna be a throw down when I get home.

Peter Petrelli:
You Chandra Suresh?

Mohinder Suresh:
No. That was my father.

Peter Petrelli:
Yeah, um... Your father wrote a book about people with... abilities. I-I think I may be one of them.

Tina:
So, you still lookin' in the mirror seeing a you that ain't you.

Niki Sanders:
Yep.

Tina:
Hell I can relate. It's called getting old. A little botox would do us both some good.

Eden McCain:
[to Peter] It was a pleasure to meet you. Um, good luck with the whole flying thing.

Simone Deveraux:
Isaac.

Isaac Mendez:
Paintings are by the door.

Simone Deveraux:
I thought I was buying the new pieces?

Isaac Mendez:
I need the new pieces.

Simone Deveraux:
Because they tell you what's gonna happen in the future?

Isaac Mendez:
How much for the old paintings?

Simone Deveraux:
To tell you the truth, Isaac, I don't know if I could sell those.

Isaac Mendez:
So you only like the ones I painted when I was high. Interesting. So, you won't give me an advance?

Simone Deveraux:
That depends what you're gonna do with the money.

Isaac Mendez:
I need painting supplies.

Simone Deveraux:
I take it you're not talking about oils and canvas?

Claire Bennet:
Look, you can't say anything. I'm fine. He was drunk and it was an accident.

Zach:
Which part was an accident? The rape or the murder?

Claire Bennet:
It didn't happen.

Zach:
Yeah, because he killed you before he had the chance.

Claire Bennet:
I'm alive!

Zach:
Yeah, now. But you weren't on the autopsy table.

Claire Bennet:
Shhh!

Zach:
Look, you said you had a hole in your head. Okay, maybe... maybe when they pulled whatever was in there, it's when you like, rebooted or whatever.

Claire Bennet:
I'm not a hard drive.

Zach:
No, you're little Miss Miracle Grow.

Claire Bennet:
Don't ever call me that again.

Campaign Manager:
You're meeting Miss Sakamoto tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.

Nathan Petrelli:
No Linderman?

Campaign Manager:
Uh, he's quote "otherwise occupied".

Nathan Petrelli:
Occupied? What is he, a Porta Potty? Don't let Sakamato geisha you. Get him in the room.

Peter Petrelli:
I've only met him the once, but maybe I ought to do the talking to start. He's, uh, he's kind of a heroin addict.

Mohinder Suresh:
Heroin addict? You neglected to mention that.

Peter Petrelli:
Hey, just suspend the skepticism, at least until you meet him.

Mohinder Suresh:
The default scientific position is skepticism.

Peter Petrelli:
Well, your father managed to get around it. I don't know, he took a pretty big leap. Gotta respect that.

Mohinder Suresh:
I did more than respect it. I believed him. I had to. I was his son.

Peter Petrelli:
Can't be the only reason why you believed him.

Ando Masahashi:
Full house. I win again!

Claire Bennet:
[closes her locker door and finds Lori Trammel leaning on a nearby locker] Oh, hey, Lori.

Lori Trammel:
Hey. I saw you go off with Brody Mitchum last night at the bonfire.

Claire Bennet:
So?

Lori Trammel:
So what happened?

Claire Bennet:
Nothing. Nothing happened.

Lori Trammel:
I went off with Brody Mitchum once. "Nothing" happened to me too. [Claire follows Lori's gaze and sees Brody trying to push up on another girl]

Ando Masahashi:
Which casino do we hit next?

Hiro Nakamura:
Huh? Are you crazy? No more gambling! We need to get back to our mission.

Ando Masahashi:
Hey. Can you teleport us to the craps table in Caesar's Palace?

High Roller:
Hello, boys. I think you have something that belongs to me. See, I had three aces at that poker table. Next thing I know, you two had 'em.

Claire Bennet:
[driving Brody's car at an increasing speed; to Brody] Don't you think it's a little weird that neither one of us remember what happened the night of the bonfire?

Brody Mitchum:
Must've been some night.

Claire Bennet:
Yeah, must have.

[accelerates the car to sixty miles an hour and runs a light when it turns red]

Brody Mitchum:
Slow down. That was a red light.

Claire Bennet:
[indifferently] Whoops.

[Claire shifts the stick up and accelerates the car further]

Brody Mitchum:
You know how to drive a stick-shift, don't you?

Claire Bennet:
There's a lot of things that I know. Like what you did to me.

Brody Mitchum:
What'd I do to you? I knew it. I knew this would happen. You get drunk, you come on to me, and it's my fault?

Claire Bennet:
[with increasing rage] You're a liar!

Brody Mitchum:
You can't rape the willing, Claire. You wanted it as bad as I did. Now stop the car.

Claire Bennet:
Did I want it as bad as Lori Trammel?

Brody Mitchum:
Lori Trammel is a slut!

Claire Bennet:
Is that what you're gonna say about me?

Brody Mitchum:
I already do.

Claire Bennet:
You're just gonna keep at it, aren't you?

Brody Mitchum:
[wryly] You should let it go, Claire. There's nothing you can do about it.

Claire Bennet:
I can do this.

[Claire accelerates the car even further; the car hits a bump and bounces as Brody screams; a split second later, they crash into the wall of a building]

Hiro Nakamura:
[as Future Hiro] Peter Petrelli.

Peter Petrelli:
How is this happening?

Hiro Nakamura:
[as Future Hiro] I'm sorry if I scared you. You look different without your scar.

Peter Petrelli:
I don't know you, buddy.

Hiro Nakamura:
[as Future Hiro] Not yet.

Mr. Bennet:
Hello.

Matt Parkman:
Is this a hospital? Am I hurt?

Mr. Bennet:
You're fine.

Mr. Bennet:
We had to drug you. I'm sorry about that.

Matt Parkman:
What? What's going on?

Mr. Bennet:
Please don't get excited Matt. We're trying to test your resting rate.

Matt Parkman:
Let me outta here.

Mr. Bennet:
Just relax.

Matt Parkman:
What are you people?

Mr. Bennet:
Trying to hear my thoughts Matt? Not with my friend here. He's special too.

Isaac Mendez:
Are you in love with him? It looks like you're in love with him.

Simone Deveraux:
I don't how I feel about him. And I don't know how I feel about you.

Isaac Mendez:
So here we are not knowing how we feel about each other and this entire city is gonna go [makes explosion noise] . Unless I stop it.

Simone Deveraux:
You think you can save us all by shooting up?

Isaac Mendez:
I can save everybody. [laughs softly] I'm gonna be a hero.

Ando Masahashi:
You better back off! My friend has very big power, can take you all out - make you wish you'd never been born!

[thug punches out Hiro]

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Did you call the comic book writer?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] I left messages. In Japanese. I need to learn how to say "You're going to die in five weeks then New York will explode" in English. [looks at a translation book]

Ando Masahashi:
[in English] You are going to die in five weeks then New York will explode. [in Japanese] I'll teach you how to say it phonetically.

Mohinder Suresh:
So when you're with your brother you can fly, and when you're with the artist...

Peter Petrelli:
Isaac. Yeah. Umm, I only met him once, but after, I-I drew the future.

Mohinder Suresh:
And now you can't do either.

Peter Petrelli:
Maybe I can only do things when I'm around other people who can... do things. [pause] 'Kay, that sound as lame as I think it did?

Mohinder Suresh:
It sounds like you should be talking to my father. This was his research, not mine.

Peter Petrelli:
Well, where is he? How do I get a hold of him?

Mohinder Suresh:
He's on the table.

Peter Petrelli:
[sees urn] I-I'm sorry. But you believe that this is possible, you have to. I mean, you believed it this morning. What if I prove it to you?

Mohinder Suresh:
Then prove it.

[at dawn]

Samuel Sullivan:
This is my favorite part of the day. It's full of possibility, before the inevitable monkey wrenches come looking for us. But more than anything, it's about being with all of you. I know grace is a supper thing; but every morning, I thank heaven and earth for our family. Sadly, Joseph's death has left us an empty seat, a broken circle. But I feel like we're on the way to mend it. There are lost lambs out there. They're like us, but they're hiding, alone, pretending to be that, which they are not. It's sad, pathetic. These people, they desperately need what we have - understanding, unconditional love, family, trust. Who are we to deny anyone that? Today is an important day for us, our family; and for one of them, too. Because by day's end, we will have a full table again. Eat.

Samuel Sullivan:
I felt something... in my bones, in the earth. But the dust hasn't settled yet.

Lydia:
It's a gamble, making promises and proclamations to all of us based on a feeling.

Samuel Sullivan:
I understand the risks. But the rewards of growing our family are worth it. We've got lots of cousins out there. Plenty of candidates. Many seeds planted.

Lydia:
But who will break ground first?

Samuel Sullivan:
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Claire Bennet:
This. This is cool.

Gretchen Berg:
Drinking chocolate milk?

Claire Bennet:
No, me. In college, in a dining hall with my new college roommate; no snipers shooting at me, no serial killers hunting me - it's a refreshing change of pace.

Gretchen Berg:
Yeah, tedium can be such a thrill!

Claire Bennet:
I have been chasing normal life forever, and I've finally caught it! I mean, don't get me wrong, the chocolate milk *is* awesome. But right here, right now is full of possibilities. I can be anyone.

Rebecca Taylor:
[from behind] Claire Bennet, you can't escape your destiny!

Rebecca Taylor:
Hey, I'm so glad you came back. I, I was worried you'd get cold feet.

Claire Bennet:
No, my feet are actually very toasty in here.

[Claire learns that Kara is, like herself, an ex-cheerleader]

Claire Bennet:
What made you quit?

Kara Hayback:
Sounds stupid, but I kinda hated the cheerleading part of cheerleading.

Dr. Coolidge:
I think this whole filing girl act is finally getting to you.

Emma Coolidge:
[signing] Do you follow up like this with all your patients?

Dr. Coolidge:
Only the ones who happen to be my daughter.

Lydia:
I think your dust has finally settled.

[at day's end]

Samuel Sullivan:
It's okay, brother. You're safe here.

Sylar:
Where exactly is 'here'?

Samuel Sullivan:
Home.

Daniel Linderman:
The greater the fall, the grander the ascension.

Future Sylar:
What's the magic word?

Noah:
Abracadabra?

Future Sylar:
Well - that's *a* magic word, so it's close enough.

Peter Petrelli:
I'm not leaving without your abilities, Sylar.

Future Sylar:
My name's Gabriel. And you don't realize, my ability is not just understanding how things work; there's a hunger... that comes with it, to know more, to have more. I couldn't control it; it turned me into a killer... a monster. And every day is a struggle, every hour.

[looks at his son]

Future Sylar:
But I fight it... for him. And I am not going to willingly condemn you to hell.

Daphne Millbrook:
[to Knox] I'm not afraid of you.

Claire Bennet:
No, but you are afraid of Peter. And you know he won't stop, not ever - until we find him... and we kill him.

Benjamin 'Knox' Washington:
So, Claire Bennet isn't afraid of anything?

Claire Bennet:
I just killed my uncle - and I have to do it again. Give me a second to be a human being!

Usutu:
You must find your totem - a spirit guide that attaches to your subconscious. It will lead you on your journey.

Matt Parkman:
What is that, some, uh... African mystical mojo thing?

Usutu:
Carl Jung, Analytical Psychology. You don't read much, do you?

Future Peter Petrelli:
Look, someone from your time is putting together a formula that gives people abilities. You have to find him and stop him.

Peter Petrelli:
Why me? Why can't you do it?

Future Peter Petrelli:
Because I made terrible choices. I stepped on too many butterflies.

Ando Masahashi:
[after pulling Hiro over with a belt] You always sucked at tug of war.

Peter Petrelli:
If I have your ability, I can understand the variables, then I can...

Future Sylar:
You can save the world? The world always needs saving, Peter.

Future Sylar:
If you want to learn how to access my ability, fix the watch. Listen to it. Like a symphony, every piece has its part, all coming together in perfect harmony. If you can understand the complexities of a watch you can understand anything - everything: cause, effect; action, reaction - how to change the future.

Future Nathan Petrelli:
You're strong, Pete. But one man cannot save the world. It's everybody's responsibility.

Sylar:
You took my ability? Well now, you have the hunger. You're like me.

Peter Petrelli:
I will never let myself become you!

Sylar:
You already are... brother!

Nathan Petrelli:
What exactly do you want from me?

Daniel Linderman:
I want to help you. First, a senator. Then president.

Nathan Petrelli:
[scoffs] President.

Daniel Linderman:
The greater the fall, the grander the ascension. Isn't that what you've always wanted? Trust me; this is the path to salvation.

Nathan Petrelli:
It's not my path - not if you're leading the way.

Daniel Linderman:
You know - I thought you'd be enjoying this. You're a senator, back in the seat of power, where you belong - able to do God's work here on Earth.

Nathan Petrelli:
God's work? I'm picking out desks.

Neighbor:
You stuck your nose where it didn't belong.

Mohinder Suresh:
So did you.

Matt Parkman:
[to Daphne] You're a wife and a mother. It's time for you to slow down.

Daphne Millbrook:
I wasn't fast enough... [collapses]

Mohinder Suresh:
The formula is transforming me. And I fear... I fear what I'm becoming.

Matt Parkman:
This is... everything to me - you, this family...

Daphne Millbrook:
[to her baby] And this is the part where the 'but' comes in, Daniela.

Matt Parkman:
But...

Hiro Nakamura:
If I knew I had the key - I wouldn't have buried it so deep.

[last lines]

Adam Monroe:
Hiro? You son of a...

Claire Bennet:
[to Peter] You don't want anyone to get hurt, do you?

Claire Bennet:
You're not gonna kill me.

Peter Petrelli:
Yes, I am.

Future Peter Petrelli:
Our powers are weapons of choice.

Claire Bennet:
I want to trust you.

West:
Then jump.

Claire Bennet:
What?

West:
Trust begins with a leap.

[Claire takes a leap, but before she hits the bottom, West catches her in mid-air]

Claire Bennet:
You caught me.

West:
Of course I did.

Claire Bennet:
But I would have been fine.

West:
I know you can heal, Claire. But I never wanna see you hurt.

Maya Herrera:
I don't even know your name.

Sylar:
It's Gabriel. Gabriel Grey.

Maya Herrera:
Gabriel - like the angel!

Sylar:
Yeah - just like the angel.

Monica Dawson:
Making flowers out of tomatoes? Who's got time to do this?

Nana Dawson:
Unfortunately I do.

Monica Dawson:
It's all about attitude, Camille.

Camille:
What's about attitude?

Monica Dawson:
Life. And today is the first day of the rest of mine.

Camille:
You sound like a fortune cookie.

[Claire and West are sitting on the Hollywood Sign looking over LA]

West:
I offer to take you anywhere, and this is all you can come up with?

Claire Bennet:
What can I say, I'm a cheap date.

Mohinder Suresh:
So, this is all about helping Molly? To me it sounds like a thirteen-year-old boy trying to make his daddy pay for leaving him!

Damon Dawson:
Nana, I need $65.

Nana Dawson:
That's funny, so do I.

Monica Dawson:
[to Damon] Half the people in this county are living in FEMA trailers, and you wanna spend good money to watch grown-up men jump around in their underwear.

Nana Dawson:
You can walk down Bourbon Street for that.

[in order to excuse for coming home late, Claire has invented a story about attending cheerleader try-outs]

Noah Bennet:
I had no idea that cheerleading meant so much to you.

Claire Bennet:
It took me by surprise too.

Nathan Petrelli:
What do you mean by questioning my mother in a hospital? Any statement she makes is coerced, she's sick.

Matt Parkman:
Whether or not, they believe her. But I know she's innocent.

Nathan Petrelli:
How can you tell?

Matt Parkman:
[looks around, then walks to a more quiet corner to make sure he's not overheard. Nathan follows] The same way I know that you can fly. I can read your mind. Just like I read your mother's. But I can't tell my partner what I know or how I know it.

Nathan Petrelli:
Are you reading my mind right now?

Matt Parkman:
No. [pause] Yes. Sorry.

Angela Petrelli:
People think that dreaming the future is a gift. They're wrong.

[first lines]

Noah Bennet:
[voice-over] Look at her. How do I explain to her about the world without dampening her spirits? Now she sees it filled with promise and hope, as bright as the light in her eyes. But I've lived long enough to know that everything is not as it appears. Evil does exist. People do terrible things to one another. How do I protect her without losing her? How do I build a bridge between us, when the distance seems so vast?

Matt Parkman:
[to his wife] Go make some money, will ya?

Hiro Nakamura:
We must turn Bruce Banner back into the Hulk.

Hiro Nakamura:
The stormtroopers and their Ewoks!

[meaning the guards and their dogs]

Hiro Nakamura:
Nap time for Sancho.

[after Ando has accidentally swallowed drugs]

Ando Masahashi:
[under drugs] It's like swimming, but inside out.

Mohinder Suresh:
Perfect. One who can't walk, one who can't talk.

[referring to Ando and Hiro]

Noah Bennet:
This Sullivan guy - he's a very bad man.

Matt Parkman:
Well, so is Bin Laden.

Noah Bennet:
It's nasty out there, Matt. But shoving your head in the sand doesn't make the world go away.

Matt Parkman:
Yeah, well, you never know until you try, do you?

Matt Parkman:
You know, some days, maybe you just can't save the whole world. Some days you're better off just gettin' your own house in order.

[Mohinder has suggested that Ando cure Hiro with his red lightning]

Ando Masahashi:
Look, Hiro once saw a future where I, I killed him with my red lightning.

Mohinder Suresh:
Was it in Florida?

Ando Masahashi:
Japan.

Mohinder Suresh:
Then we're good to go.

Hiro Nakamura:
Make it so, Sancho.

Noah Bennet:
I'm thinking about bridges.

Claire Bennet:
Bridges?

Noah Bennet:
Bridges that connect us to the people and things that we... love and need in our lives. They're built on trust, and I've... I've torched most of them. And... I'm just hoping that the... that the one that connects me to you... can still be repaired.

Claude:
I spend a lot a time moving around people's homes, their bedrooms. You get to know people if you see them when they think they're alone you see them for what they truly are: Selfish, Deceitful... and Gassy.

Peter Petrelli:
So what, is that your big truth about the world?

Claude:
The sooner you learn it, the sooner we get that collar off your neck.

Claude:
People suck friend. Every last one of them, never forget that.

Peter Petrelli:
Not all of them.

Claude:
Oh right, there's a girl.

Peter Petrelli:
She's not like the rest of them.

Claude:
Everyone's like the rest, that's why they're the rest. [pause] Fine, let's go and see what your girl's up to, then maybe we can clear your head.

[about meeting her biological mom]

Claire Bennet:
Well, what am I suppose to say? "Hi I'm your daughter and I can re-grow my kidney"?

[about Claire's biological mom's trailer]

Zach:
Nice pinwheel collection.

Meredith Gordon:
I bet you're all kinds of popular.

Claire Bennet:
I was homecoming queen.

[looks away]

Claire Bennet:
Kinda.

Peter Petrelli:
You threw me off of a thirty-story building! If I didn't regenerate, I would be dead!

Claude:
Well, you could have flown. Listen, if you hadn't had worked this one out you would have been hopeless anyway and I just diffused the biggest bomb ever.

Sandra Bennet:
[to Sylar, then distracted by Mr. Muggles] It is so funny how all y'all call him "Mr. Bennet" over there. I've always just known him as... - [to her dog] Stop that you, no more shoes!

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] For this, you abandon your job and take an unauthorized vacation in America. Gorge yourself on hamburgers and waffles!

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Waffles are very good. You'd like them.

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] No, Hiro. I would not. No more distractions. You will come home. And you will get back to work.

[first lines]

Peter Petrelli:
I don't see how petty theft is part of my training.

Claude:
There's a lot you don't see. You've no idea how to use these gifts of yours properly.

Peter Petrelli:
Yeah, and you know.

Claude:
Right now your ability only shows up as a reflex, automatic, like swallowing. That's a dog's trick. Making it a conscious choice, using it. That's what makes you more than poodle.

Peter Petrelli:
Is insulting me really going to help me learn to do this?

Claude:
Listen you're the one who is a bomb threatening to go off and blow up me and everyone else in this city unless I can get you housebroken.

Niki Sanders:
Jessica used to say I could turn Mozart into a monkey.

Jessica Sanders:
[Nikki turns into Jessica] I sure did.

Dr. Witherson:
Jessica.

Jessica Sanders:
You should have listened to little mouse. [breaks the restraints]

Sylar:
[to Mr. Bennett] How's Claire? [throws Bennet against the wall telekinetically] That was for the haircut. You shouldn't have built such a good cage.

Noah Bennet:
No! No! Noooo!

Simone Deveaux:
[about Peter] You've been trying to find him, why?

Isaac Mendez:
I know what he can do. He's the one who is going to turn New York into this [pointing to the new painting of New York burning] I'm not going to let him.

Simone Deveaux:
How do you know so much about him?

Isaac Mendez:
Because I painted it!

Isaac Mendez:
[to Simone] You finally believe I can paint the future, and you want to use it to find your new boyfriend.

Sandra Bennet:
You're asking my permission to skip school?

Claire Bennet:
No, if I wanted to skip school I'd check into homeroom and sneak out Miss Robert's window. But you always trust honesty, so I'm being honest.

Claire Bennet:
[to Zach] No-one can know we're going to see my real Mom. We have to be perfect.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] Your father looks angry.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] My father always looks angry.

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] But your sister looks hot.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Father, I... I am on an important mission.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] You are only on a plane home. You will return to Yamagato Industries. That is what is important.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] My job was meaningless. I worked in a cubicle!

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Hmm? I only put you at the bottom so you would reach for the top. Perhaps I was too strict. When you return I will make you an Executive Vice President. On your way to taking my place as C.E.O. You are my only son, Hiro. This is your destiny.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Father. I believe I have... a different destiny.

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] And what is that?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] It's... complicated. [Mr. Nakamura folds his hands expectantly] I have to bring that painting to a man in Las Vegas... so I can steal Tazeko Kensei's sword - then use my powers to stop a bomb from blowing up New York!

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Kensei? From those stories I used to read you?

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] If only I had the sword I could show you what I can do.

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Do you want to see what I think of your destiny? We're going home!

Peter Petrelli:
Thanks for nearly getting me arrested.

Claude:
A little more patience and you could have had some cash and some fresh lipstick!

Claude:
Peter can't use his powers without someone holding his hands. [about Nathan Petrelli] How can you not punch that face everytime you see it?

Peter Petrelli:
He's not like that.

Claude:
He is, trust me.

Peter Petrelli:
You don't know him.

Claude:
I don't need to. I've spent a lotta time movin' around people's homes, their bedrooms.

Ando Masahashi:
This is bad. What should we do?

Hiro Nakamura:
Did you put on cologne?

Claire Bennet:
[about Meredith] I always imagined my biological mom living in some... penthouse in New York City... not some trailer park in Kermit.

Zach:
So she lives in a trailer. Maybe she likes the open road.

Claire Bennet:
That's not what I imagined.

Zach:
[to Claire] Stop imagining. She's right there. [indicates the trailer in front of them]

Claire Bennet:
[about her biological mother] I mean, what if she's got burns and scars from the fire. She's supposed to be dead, right?

Zach:
So were you, remember? You have that much in common. [he heads for the car]

Claire Bennet:
[turns around] Where are you going?

Zach:
[holds up his car keys] I'm getting rid of your exit strategy. You'll be fine. I'll be back in time for fajitas.

Sylar:
Well, thanks for inviting me in. I always wanted to err... see where Mr. Bennett lived.

Sandra Bennet:
Why don't you stay for dinner? The least I can offer my new hero!

Sylar:
Are you sure? If it's not too much trouble.

Sandra Bennet:
I will call my husband and tell him to expect you. What did you say your name was again, Mr...

Sylar:
Sylar. I don't think you'll reach him at the office though. Last I saw he was just swamped.

Meredith Gordon:
[Claire hangs up from a phone call from her adoptive mother Sandra. About Sandra] She doesn't know you're here.

Claire Bennet:
She doesn't really understand what's going on with me right now. Neither of my parents do.

Meredith Gordon:
Well, I'll pretend I know why you're sneaking around. All girls deserve their secrets, right?

Claire Bennet:
Seems like I have a lot of them these days. [awkward pause] I have to show you something. You may understand, or you may not, but... I think you should see.

Meredith Gordon:
See what?

Claire Bennet:
I think I know how I survived that fire. [grabs a nearby kitchen knife and puts the blade to her arm]

Meredith Gordon:
[in a panic] Claire, don't...!

Claire Bennet:
[calmly] It's okay. [she slowly slices her arm open in front of a surprised Meredith; within seconds, the wound heals quickly] Please say something. [after an awkward pause, Meredith smiles]

Meredith Gordon:
Some family. [Meredith holds up her own arm and opens her fist; a small flame ignites on her palm as a shocked Claire looks on]

Ando Masahashi:
[in Japanese] [about Kimiko] I think she's really starting to like me.

Sandra Bennet:
How did you do that?

Sylar:
I'm special. Just like Claire... well, different but you catch the meaning. It's a shame I'll have to kill her. Maybe I'll kill you first. I really haven't decided yet.

Noah Bennet:
[to Sandra] He's gone now. You're okay. This is my friend. He's going to make everything okay. He'll help you forget again.

Claire Bennet:
I was hoping you could tell me about my father.

Meredith Gordon:
Well that's complicated. He's kind of a big shot. Why don't you let me work on that for next time.

Claire Bennet:
Some family.

Isaac Mendez:
This city took me in. Everything important that ever happened to me happened here. Good. Bad. You. Now it's all going to be destroyed because I can't stop it.

Simone Deveaux:
You don't know that

Isaac Mendez:
It keeps coming back - worse every time. You saw what this looks like after the bomb. The world will never recover from that.

Simone Deveaux:
It's not true. You can't lose hope.

Isaac Mendez:
What hope is there?

Simone Deveaux:
There's you! What you can do. Why else would you be allowed to see the future unless it was to do something about it? You can't just see the future, Isaac, you make it. You'll find a way.

Isaac Mendez:
You really believe that?

Simone Deveaux:
I believe in you.

Aron Malsky:
[to Nikki] You're going home.

Niki Sanders:
That's not possible.

Aron Malsky:
Oh, it's more than possible. The charges against you have been dropped Miss Sanders.

Niki Sanders:
What?

Aron Malsky:
The D.A. threw out the entire case.

Niki Sanders:
That can't happen. I killed people.

Aron Malsky:
Well, the state of Nevada isn't so sure about that anymore. It seems a rather terrible gentleman on death row confessed to all the crimes you're accused of. D.N.A. evidence backed up everything. Wonderful system, isn't it? As far as they're concerned, justice has been served.

Niki Sanders:
And as far as Linderman is concerned?

Aron Malsky:
Oh, don't worry about tomorrow's problems today.

Niki Sanders:
No, I need to be in here. I need help.

Aron Malsky:
You only need to get dressed, Ms. Sanders. You're going home.

Niki Sanders:
No... No...

Claude:
You have to get rid of your distractions.

Peter Petrelli:
The people that I love are not distractions.

Claude:
Then why can't you fly? You've done it. You're body remembers how. The only thing standing in your way is you.

Peter Petrelli:
What am I supposed to do? Cut them out of my life? How cold do you expect me to be?

Claude:
Did you forget you're a bomb? You've got to remember what this is about. Or do you have to ask your brother's permission for that as well?

Peter Petrelli:
Anything else that I have to do? Do you want to make a list?

Claude:
You're a sad cartoon of a broken heart bleeding all over the place. I'm just trying to get your head straight.

Peter Petrelli:
And I am tired of you telling me what I have to do. I don't have to do anything!

Claude:
Except fly. [pushes Peter off of rooftop]

Peter Petrelli:
Son of a b*tch.

Peter Petrelli:
Before I hit the ground, when I knew what was about to happen I had this flash, in my head of this girl that I met in Texas. This cheerleader, she could heal herself. God, she's this sweet kid. Sad little smile and she just... You were wrong! I don't have to cut her out! I have to remember her, how she made me feel. That's how I... [Peter starts cycling through abilities] Oh, God! It's happening. I'm losing it! [Claude punches him, knocking him out]

Claude:
Well, it's a start.

Noah Bennet:
[answering the phone] Yes.

Isaac Mendez:
[on the phone] I think I found a way to stop him. I found him.

Noah Bennet:
[on the phone] Sylar?

Isaac Mendez:
[on the phone] I thought you had Sylar.

Noah Bennet:
[on the phone] I will again. Soon. You mean Petrelli, where is he?

Isaac Mendez:
[on the phone] I think he's been here this whole time and I've been painting him except no one can see him like he's a ghost or invisible. What does that mean?

Noah Bennet:
[on the phone] It means an old friend isn't quite as dead as we thought he was.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] You have made the right choice, Father.

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Let us hope so. This does not mean I approve of what you are doing.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] That's okay. You don't have to. Life evolves, Father. And the son you wanted to be like you will follow his own path. Now I have to go save the world!

[Hiro hugs Mr. Nakamura]

Kaito Nakamura:
[in Japanese] Should never have read him those stories.

Kimiko Nakamura:
[in Japanese] You're insane, little brother.

Hiro Nakamura:
[in Japanese] You are welcome.

Niki Sanders:
[appears trapped in the mirror] Nooo!

Jessica Sanders:
What are you so mad about Niki? You're the one who wanted to be locked up.

Nathan Petrelli:
[answering the phone] Hello?

Meredith Gordon:
[on the phone] You might not remember me - we haven't spoken in a long time-but... our daughter just found me. Did you hear what I just said? She's alive. We need to talk, Nathan.

Mira Shenoy:
Every time you dig into your father's research, you disappear into a rabbit hole. It only leads you to a dark place.

Tracy Strauss:
Great. I panic attack with powers.

Sylar:
Good things do come to those who wait.

Sylar:
I don't have time for all the five stages of grief. Let's go right from denial to acceptance.

Noah Bennet:
How was your day?

Claire Bennet:
Oh, you know. Same old same old.

[after Noah notices Claire's old broken foot]

Peter Petrelli:
Nathan, this, uh... this idea, this thought that you're...

Nathan Petrelli:
Sylar?

Peter Petrelli:
Yeah.

Nathan Petrelli:
Change of voice, change of face, still him underneath. These hands have killed dozens of people, Pete. Friends of ours. Whoever Nathan Petrelli was, he's gone now. Just some random thoughts in a mass murderer's head.

[last lines]

Nathan Petrelli:
To the rest of the world, I'm Nathan Petrelli, Pete. But every time you look at me - the way you're looking at me right now - you're gonna see Sylar. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong, Pete.

[last lines]

Hiro Nakamura:
My name is Hiro Nakamura... I am here to save your life!

Sheriff:
Hey, Charlie. Charlie, come over and blow out the candles.

Charlie Andrews:
Hold that thought, okay? I gotta go make a wish.

D.L. Hawkins:
The Good news is... It's just gonna be you and me from here on out. Partners.

Micah Sanders:
You mean, like Batman and Robin?

D.L. Hawkins:
Yeah, like Batman and Robin. Only... I ain't wearing no tights. You can wear tights, but I'm not wearing tights.

Peter Petrelli:
You saw this painting - alright? You can describe it to me.

Simone Deveraux:
You really believe this, don't you? "Save the cheerleader, save the world"?

Peter Petrelli:
For reasons I can't begin to understand. There are people that are counting on me to do this. I don't know if I can, but I have to try.

Simone Deveraux:
[mutters] This doesn't make any sense; I probably shouldn't be showing you this. It's a digital image. It came with the painting.

[the image is of Peter's crumpled body]

Simone Deveraux:
Is that you, Peter?

Peter Petrelli:
[shaken] I don't know. Maybe...

Simone Deveraux:
If it's you, then you're going to die, at 8:12 tonight. Don't go, Peter.

Peter Petrelli:
I have to. I have to.

Claire Bennet:
You are being completely unreasonable! Do you have any idea what it means for me to miss this game?

Mr. Bennet:
You'll survive.

Claire Bennet:
But dad - !

Mr. Bennet:
No! Listen and you listen good! As long as you live under my roof you will do as I say. You may not agree, but don't think for a moment that that matters. You are not leaving this house tonight. Is that clear?

Claire Bennet:
Crystal.

Sandra Bennet:
She is gonna hate you for a long time on this one.

Mr. Bennet:
[sighs] Let's hope so.

Ando Masahashi:
You have a power - ?

Peter Petrelli:
Sort of...

Ando Masahashi:
Super-strength? You bend time and space like Hiro?

Peter Petrelli:
No, I... I kind of absorb the abilities of others - but only when they're close. Truthfully? When I'm by myself, I don't... I'm not really anything.

[pause]

Peter Petrelli:
I've got less than an hour. If it happens at eight twelve, I have to go. Coming?

Ando Masahashi:
No. I will wait for Hiro. Without him, I am not really anything, either. Maybe you should wait too.

Peter Petrelli:
There's no time. I've got to save the cheerleader.

Ando Masahashi:
But, Peter. You die.

Chandra Suresh:
Darwin said, "a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections - a heart of stone". That's me, Mohinder. It's not you.

Mohinder Suresh:
He did it, you know. He discovered them. His theory was right.

Mrs. Suresh:
And that is good news, yes?

Mohinder Suresh:
Why didn't he tell me?

Mrs. Suresh:
He wanted you to live your own life. So, now that you know about them, what will you do?

Mohinder Suresh:
Find them, tell them who they are if they don't already know, warn them of the dangers they face.

Mrs. Suresh:
And who will protect *you*?

Claire Bennet:
You're being so nice, I've never been this nice to you, I mean I've been nice but I could be nicer

Zach:
Then why don't you?

Claire Bennet:
You... How did you...

Peter Petrelli:
Where is he?

Claire Bennet:
I don't know. He ran away before I got here.

Peter Petrelli:
Police. Go get some help, okay?

Claire Bennet:
Okay. I'll be back... Hey. What's your name?

Peter Petrelli:
Peter.

Claire Bennet:
I'm Claire.

Peter Petrelli:
Are you the one? By saving you, did I save the world?

Claire Bennet:
I don't know. I'm just a cheerleader.

Mr. Bennet:
Claire!

Claire Bennet:
Dad. Dad.

Mr. Bennet:
It's okay. You're okay.

Claire Bennet:
Dad, it was terrible, Jackie, she...

Mr. Bennet:
I know, I know.

Claire Bennet:
We have to go back. We... we have to go back, Peter...

Mr. Bennet:
No, no, no.

Claire Bennet:
He saved my life!

Mr. Bennet:
No, no, no, he'll be fine.

Claire Bennet:
But we can't leave him. We can't leave him. He almost died, but then he... He... We have to go back! We have to go back!

Mr. Bennet:
The police'll take care of everything.

Claire Bennet:
Ooh, sorry!

Peter Petrelli:
Sorry.

Claire Bennet:
That was my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going.

Peter Petrelli:
Hey, do you... do you know this girl, Jackie Wilcox?

Claire Bennet:
Uh, yeah, half-time show starts in about five minutes. She'll be out on the field. She's a cheerleader. Are you a reporter or something?

Peter Petrelli:
Alumni. I'm just curious.

Claire Bennet:
[pause] You know, between you and me, she's not that special. Just your average teenage girl.

Peter Petrelli:
She rushed into a fire and saved a man's life, sounds kinda special to me.

Claire Bennet:
Yeah, you're right. I'm jealous. She's our town hero. Me? I don't win too many popularity contests.

Peter Petrelli:
Hey, it gets better!

Claire Bennet:
What?

Peter Petrelli:
Life after high school. It gets a lot better.

Zach:
I know who I am. I like who I am. I like who you are. I just, I just wish that you liked who you are.

Claire Bennet:
I'm finally realizing who my friends really are. That maybe being different isn't the end of the world. It's just who I am.

Zach:
Exactly. You've gotta embrace your inner freak. Because the only thing you'll regret is denying who you really are.

Mr. Bennet:
You're lucky you're alive.

Claire Bennet:
It's not luck, dad.

[pause]

Claire Bennet:
I have something I have to tell you.

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voiceover] We are, if anything, creatures of habit - drawn to the safety and comfort of the familiar.

Zach:
Do they actually believe that grain is a vegetable?

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice over] But what happens when the familiar becomes unsafe, when the fear that we have been desperately trying to avoid, finds us where we live?

Simone Deveraux:
Peter thinks if he saves the cheerleader. He'll safe the world.

Nathan Petrelli:
Peter's got all these... ideas in his head, delusions of grandeur. He thinks he's supposed to make a difference.

Simone Deveraux:
What are you doing? What are you doing? No... No. [Nathan throws a bucket of paint on Isaac's painting] No!

Nathan Petrelli:
Saving his life. Why, you believe it? "Save the cheerleader, save the world"?

Simone Deveraux:
I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

Nathan Petrelli:
I am.

Jessica Sanders:
[about D.L] He took my son.

Gun Man:
Damn. You call the cops?

Jessica Sanders:
Cops can't stop him. But I can, as long as he doesn't see it coming.

Claire Bennet:
Everybody who wasn't my friend is now my friend, and everybody who was my friend, isn't.

Zach:
Well, it's not a popularity contest. It's an unpopularity contest 'cause you rocked the freak vote.

Claire Bennet:
I what?

Zach:
Look, everybody who's like Jackie voted for Jackie; and everybody who isn't voted for you. And in this school, the unpopular vastly outnumber the popular.

Jackie Wilcox:
Oh, is the gay boy your date? You should tell him that only one of you gets to wear the tiara! [Claire punches Jackie out]

D.L. Hawkins:
[shouting at Micah who is running away] Micah. Micah. [after catching him] What were you thinking? You know how scared I was?

Micah Sanders:
Now you know how it felt when you left us.

D.L. Hawkins:
What am I supposed to do here?

Micah Sanders:
Go back. She needs us.

D.L. Hawkins:
We've discussed this. Your Mom...

Micah Sanders:
Dad, I know she's different, okay? I see it, too. Something happened to her when you left. It got really bad. Then, sometimes, she'd show up instead of Mom.

D.L. Hawkins:
She?

Micah Sanders:
Jessica.

D.L. Hawkins:
Jessica.

Micah Sanders:
Dad. Mom's sick. She can't help herself. She can't control it.

D.L. Hawkins:
I know. Does your Mom know about Jessica?

Micah Sanders:
I don't think so. Dad, we can't just leave her. If you still love her, help her.

D.L. Hawkins:
Alright.

Mohinder Suresh:
You came to me in my dream last night.

Sanjog Iyer:
I don't come to anyone. They come to me.

Mohinder Suresh:
Why? Why do they come to you?

Sanjog Iyer:
They have questions that need answers.

Mohinder Suresh:
I am not sure that I have a question.

Sanjog Iyer:
[chuckles] Yes. You do.

Mohinder Suresh:
I have two paths in front of me. I need to know which one to take. Which one's my destiny?

Sanjog Iyer:
You already have the answer that you seek.

Mohinder Suresh:
What is it? What's my answer?

Ando Masahashi:
[Ando points at photo of Charlie and Hiro] Excuse me, when was this picture taken?

Waitress Lynette:
Oh that was Charlie's birthday. About six months ago.

Ando Masahashi:
Do you know him?

Waitress Lynette:
Hiro? Sure! He and Charlie were tight.

Ando Masahashi:
Please, where is he now?

Waitress Lynette:
I have no idea darling, He popped out of her life weeks ago.

Jackie Wilcox:
I thought you were grounded.

Claire Bennet:
It didn't take.

Eden McCain:
[to Sylar] You don't want to hurt me. We just need to talk. You can tell me all about yourself. But first... go to sleep. [echoing] You need to sleep.

Mohinder Suresh:
[voiceover] We are all, at our cores, the sum of our fears. To embrace destiny, we must, inevitably, face those fears and conquer them. Whether they come from the familiar... or the unknown.

Zach:
What? What's with you?

Claire Bennet:
You're being so nice, I've never been this nice to you, I mean... I've been nice but I could be nicer.

Zach:
Then why don't you?

Zach:
She can call me whatever she wants. I'm not gonna be embarassed by it. I know who I am. I like who I am. I like who you are. I just... I just wish that you liked who you are.

Claire Bennet:
I'm finally realizing who my friends really are. And maybe being different isn't the end of the world. That's just who I am.

Zach:
Exaclty. You've got to embrace your inner freak. Because the only thing that you'll regret is denying who you really are.

Claire Bennet:
A good friend of mine once said it's more important to be honest with yourself and happy than popular. I think he got it right.

[first lines]

Mohinder Suresh:
[voiceover] When the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, strange fascination takes root in the heart. And suddenly, anything is possible. Its power is undeniable; its beauty mesmerizing; its lure biblical; its meaning unknowable. And as quickly as it comes, it disappears, leaving us to dwell on our own insignificance, in the face of God.

Mohinder Suresh:
[voiceover] It starts with light, and it ends with light. And in between, there is darkness. Nothing there is beyond hope; nothing that can be sworn impossible; nothing left unimagined, since Zeus, father of the Olympians, made night from midday, hiding the light of the shining sun, and raining dark fear down upon men.

Claire Bennet:
Don't you know? I'm the defensive player of the year.

Sylar:
We're all at war with ourselves; that's what it means to be human. Trick is figuring out how to be on the winning side.

Arthur Petrelli:
You had one job to do, and now I have to come clean up your mess. That's what I get for sending a boy to do a man's job.

Nathan Petrelli:
[about Arthur] I thought the man was dead. I don't even know what to do with my life, now that he's alive.

Tracy Strauss:
For your plan to succeed, you need a public face. Now, normally that would be you. Problem is, the world thinks you're dead.

Arthur Petrelli:
A thorny issue, I admit.

Tracy Strauss:
But I think Nathan can be that face. The bad news: he's on the fence. The good news: I can push him over. You scratch my back, and I will make sure he lands on the right side.

Peter Petrelli:
This isn't your fight. I need you to stay...

Claire Bennet:
Stay what?

Peter Petrelli:
Innocent.

[Peter tries to prevent Claire from fighting the villains]

Peter Petrelli:
Claire, just... go home! Please.

Claire Bennet:
No. That's not gonna happen. And it's all your fault. You should've never come to Odessa to save me; you should've never become my friend or my hero. And now I can't leave you because *I* have a favor to return.

Claire Bennet:
When Sylar attacked me, he saw something. He took off the top of my head... He said I was different from everyone else - special. I didn't understand what that meant until today... I think I'm the catalyst.

Hiro Nakamura:
Ando, why are you so old? [looks in a mirror]

Hiro Nakamura:
And why am I so old?

Ando Masahashi:
How old do you think you are?

Hiro Nakamura:
What are you talking about? I'm ten!

Elle Bishop:
I will kill you, you son of a b*tch. You murdered my father!

Sylar:
Yes, I did.

Elle Bishop:
[shrieking] How could you do that to me!

Sylar:
I'm not gonna insult you by saying I'm sorry. You deserve so much more than that, Elle; you deserve vengeance. I'll take whatever you've got.

[Elle lightens Sylar up]

Sylar:
You saved my life once, Elle - gave me the will to live. Don't you see I owe you?

Elle Bishop:
[slowly] I only saved you so we could use you, like a lab rat.

Sylar:
You were just following orders... But I forgive you. Now you need to forgive yourself.

Hiro Nakamura:
[about a comic book store] This is the source of all knowledge.

[Sylar is experimenting more or less successfully with the new power he got from Elle]

Elle Bishop:
Keep it up, you'll be a gunslinger in no time.

[Peter is facing Knox and Flint, who have captured Claire]

Peter Petrelli:
You got two choices: let her go or you die.

Flint:
You and what army?

[last lines]

Arthur Petrelli:
It's coming.

Tracy Strauss:
You are a U.S. Senator. You've got an entire constituency riding on you for having a clear vision for what you believe in. You gotta snap the hell out of this. You have to get yourself together.

Ando Masahashi:
[making a funny face to Baby Matt] I can't stay like this all the way to New York!

Hiro Nakamura:
Sure you can!

Hiro Nakamura:
Matt Parkman - meet Matt Parkman.

Emile Danko:
I didn't know you could bleed like that.

Sylar:
I squeezed a little extra - for show.

Noah Bennet:
[about Sylar] I've been chasing this one for a long time.

Emile Danko:
It's a funny thing. You're on a hunt all these years, and then I show up and bang, he's dead. Maybe you didn't really want to catch him.

Noah Bennet:
[smiling wryly] Or maybe you're just better at this than me.

Sylar:
[to Danko, in the shape of Danko] It's fun being you, commanding the respect of others.

Emile Danko:
This is not about you finding some clever way to kill Noah Bennet!

Sylar:
I'm not gonna kill him. I'm gonna destroy him.

Noah Bennet:
Where'd they take the bodies?

Agent 1:
Crematorium. Barbecue day.

Emile Danko:
You must be Mrs. Bennet. I've seen your picture.

Sandra Bennet:
I bet you have - from the surveillance cameras watching my house?

Sandra Bennet:
It's over, Noah. I don't love you, I don't trust you - I don't even respect you. And when that's gone...

Matt Parkman:
You've been a really good friend, Mohinder. Goodbye, Mohinder.

Nathan Petrelli:
When your grandmother has a dream, it's a good idea to pay attention.

Angela Petrelli:
You want the answers? Then you'll have to dig.

Mohinder Suresh:
[voice-over] It is our nature to protect our children - for each generation to pass on their cautionary tales to the next. So it is with the myth of Icarus: the legend of a boy who fashioned wings from feathers and wax, daring to fly into the heavens. His father was fearful, and warned Icarus to be careful, begging him not to tempt fate by flying too close to the sun. But in the end, the boy couldn't resist. His wax and wings melted from the sun's rays, and he plunged... to his death.

Elle Bishop:
[on seeing Mohinder, with his broken nose] What's your superpower? Punching bag?

Matt Parkman:
Good morning. How did you sleep?

Molly Walker:
On my pillow.

Elle Bishop:
[about Mohinder] He's adorable. Can I keep him?

Kaito Nakamura:
We have the power of Gods. That doesn't mean we can play God.

Hiro Nakamura:
[speaking at his father's funeral] I refuse to eulogize my father. To eulogize him is to admit he is gone. My father is not dead.

[he takes off his glasses]

Hiro Nakamura:
Kaito Nakamura taught me right from wrong - what it means to be a hero. So long as the lessons live on through me, he will never die. My father taught me to understand that certain things are in God's hands. But for everything else, God has given us the gift of choice. My father gave me the tools to fight my battles ahead. Every hand I extend in kindness is his hand. And every blow that I strike for justice is his fist. So long as the lessons he taught stay with me, and so long as he lives on in my heart - then my father is never truly dead.

Bob Bishop:
[to Claire, about her father] He's not big on the listening. Once he sets his mind, it's stuck, which is why we gave you to him in the first place. We thought he would be loyal to the end. Turns out we were right.

Claire Bennet:
[ruefully] The last thing I really said to my Dad... was 'I hate you'.

Hiro Nakamura:
[on his father's death] Some things even Takezo Kensei cannot change.

Elle Bishop:
Do you know what happens when you change your plans mid-stream?

Mohinder Suresh:
No.

Elle Bishop:
Neither do I. Because we don't do it.

Mohinder Suresh:
I'm here to ask you to give us Claire. We need her blood.

Noah Bennet:
You've gone native! Are you kidding me?

Mohinder Suresh:
She'll be returned to you safe - unharmed. You have my word.

Noah Bennet:
No offence, Mohinder, but your word isn't what it used to be.

Mohinder Suresh:
Claire is very important to the work we're doing. She can save lives.

Noah Bennet:
"The work we're doing." You sound like me ten years ago. This is what they do; they indoctrinate you. I couldn't have been more clear about this when you agreed to go in.

Bob Bishop:
That's what I like about you, Dr. Suresh; your moral compass always faces true north. Which is why you get a new partner, one who can execute - one whose compass faces north-northwest.

[Elle electrocutes herself trying to use her powers in a 'wet' environment]

Noah Bennet:
Stings like a b*tch, doesn't it?

[Parkman argues with Detective Fuller about still digging in the closed Nakamura case]

Detective Bryan Fuller:
Let it go. You got real work to do.

Matt Parkman:
This is real work! And it's important - lives could be at stake...

Detective Bryan Fuller:
Your job could be at stake if you keep this up, Parkman. Now, I need you back on the planet Earth, you got me?

[an idea occurs to Parkman]

Matt Parkman:
No!

Detective Bryan Fuller:
Excuse me, detective?

Matt Parkman:
[telepathically] Give me 24 hours; let me talk to Angela Petrelli again.

Detective Bryan Fuller:
Tell you what - You got 24 hours. Talk to Angela Petrelli again.

Matt Parkman:
Thank you. Great idea!

Noah Bennet:
Why do you think I never let the Company anywhere near Claire? I didn't want her to become you. Now I need to talk to your father, to arrange a trade - Claire for you.

Elle Bishop:
What if he doesn't want to make a deal?

Noah Bennet:
You'd be surprised what a father would do for his daughter.

Noah Bennet:
No matter what I do - we'll always be running. But if you die, Bob... the Company dies with you.

[Parkman is telepathically trying to get information out of Angela Petrelli]

Angela Petrelli:
If you take this secret from me, you're not just like your father...

[she wipes blood from her nose]

Angela Petrelli:
...you are him.

Claire Bennet:
I'm just a cheerleader.

[last lines]

Noah Bennet:
Holy...!

Noah Bennet:
Did you pack Mr. Muggles' doggy bath?

Claire Bennet:
I've died before. It's no big deal.

Isaac Mendez:
[to Sylar] It's all right. I finally know my part in all this - to die, here, with you - but not before I show them how to kill you and stop the bomb. I finally get to be a hero.

Mr. Linderman:
[to Nathan] There's six and a half billion people on this planet. That's less than point zero per cent. Come on, that's an acceptable loss by anyone's account.

Peter Petrelli:
What do you do with something that killed you?

Nathan Petrelli:
Put it under your pillow.

Mr. Linderman:
Look, I said people needed hope, but they trust fear.

Nathan Petrelli:
This is crazy.

Mr. Linderman:
This tragedy will be a catalyst for good, for change. Out of the ashes humanity will find a common goal, a united sense of hope - couched in a united sense of fear.

Angela Petrelli:
I regret a lot of the choices I've made in my life. You're getting the benefit of my experience.

Claire Bennet:
[snappily] Whether I want it or not.

Angela Petrelli:
[Angela smirks] [to Claire] You get that mouth from me.

Peter Petrelli:
You saved my life.

Claire Bennet:
Guess we're even now.

Matt Parkman:
Wait a minute - you didn't know that? You're trying to take down your organization, and you don't even know who signs your checks? Oh my god! You're middle management!

Nathan Petrelli:
I don't know who I am without you.

Peter Petrelli:
Course you do. You're Nathan Petrelli. Top of his class, valedictorian, most-likely-to. You're that guy with me or without me.

Nathan Petrelli:
Who's to say I'm not all that because of you? Most of what we are is what people expect us to be. I mean, if you take them away, nothing means anything.

Mohinder Suresh:
You're not the one I called.

Thompson:
Glasses? Tall fella? He's no longer with the Company.

Isaac Mendez:
You're late.

Sylar:
I guess you know why I'm here.

Isaac Mendez:
You're the one who's gonna kill me.

Sylar:
That's true. [pause] This is usually the part when people start screaming.

Isaac Mendez:
I tried fighting the future. It's too big for me. Maybe you can do better.

Nathan Petrelli:
[Nathan sees Hiro in one of Isaac's paintings] I know this man.

Mr. Linderman:
Oh, great. If you see him again tell him I want my sword back.

Nathan Petrelli:
He said he needed it to save the world. A lot of people seem to be saying that these days.

[Nathan is uncovering a painting of him, Claire knocks on door]

Claire Bennet:
Your mom said you wanted to talk to me?

Nathan Petrelli:
I did, I do. Come in. Please. This should've happened a long time ago, under better circumstances. It shouldn't take someone nearly dying for the two of us to finally meet.

Claire Bennet:
You know, you don't have to this. Pretend to be nice to me.

Nathan Petrelli:
I'm not pretending. Claire, most people think the worst of me and I've probably given them a good reason to, but I want to do better. I want to be there for you. [pauses] But I can't. Not now.

Claire Bennet:
Of course.

Nathan Petrelli:
I'm sorry, but there are things happening right now that I don't expect you to understand. I barely understand them myself. I went into politics for the chance to do something good, to have a chance to help. To be a part of something big. And in order to do that, I have to...

Claire Bennet:
The election. Can't have some illegitimate daughter popping up right in front of the cameras.

Nathan Petrelli:
I need to win.
