Episode Quotes |
| |
Peter: Let me show you something.
Noah: That's... a very nice arm.
| Peter: Whoa! When did that start happening?
Nathan/Sylar: A couple of days ago. I'm like, uh, a Swiss Army knife of superpowers now. A new power every day.
| Claire: You're not fine living off cereal and Japanese takeout.
Noah: Well, that is a good point. Tonight I order Italian.
| Claire: You were middle management of Primatech Papers for over 20 years.
Noah: During which time my skills consisted of lying to my family, breaking down doors, bagging and tagging...
Claire: On the plus side, you are a people person. Look! Ooh, lumber salesman. Minimum five years sales experience. Ta-dah.
Noah: You do know that was a cover, right? I never actually sold anything.
Claire: Yes, but you don't have to admit to that. Okay, say, you're at the interview. And I'm the interviewer and you're the interviewee.
Noah: Oh, are we really...
Claire: "Tell me, Mr. Bennet, what do you think your greatest strength as a salesman is?"
Noah: Well, if they won't buy from me, I can always just shoot them.
| Nathan/Sylar: Kelly didn't disappear. She died. I was there. What I want to know is why I can't remember anything.
Angela: How would I know?
Nathan/Sylar: Because every time there's a secret buried someplace, I find you with a shovel behind your back.
Angela: You should write Mother's Day cards.
| Claire: So you never answered the question. Greatest strength.
Noah: Greatest strength. Well, I would have to say above all else, I am a company man. You won't find anybody more dedicated to his job than me.
Claire: See, that's perfect. What lumber company wouldn't want to hire you?
Noah: Yep, I'm a real people person.
| Claire: Life changes, we all change. Sometimes you have to remember who you were to figure out who you want to be.
Noah: Why do I suddenly feel like you're the parent and I'm the kid.
Claire: We'll take turns.
| Hiro: First of all, you must really hate your job. Nobody copies their butt forty-seven different ways without wanting to get fired!
| Hiro: I have so many stories to share with you, Kimiko. I just hope I have time to tell you them all.
| Noah: Fancy meeting you here. Am I that predictable?
Tracy: You live upstairs.

Episode Title: Acceptance
Presumably derived from the final stage of the "recognition of death" cycle that humans run through. First described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying, humans, being informed of their impending doom (as might a terminal cancer patient), tend to run through five psychological states, roughly in order (though the time spent in each state can be long or very short) they are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. There can also be some flip-flopping between them, such as bouncing between denial and anger. The title of the episode ties to Hiro's reaching the final stage with regards to his potentially terminal illness.
