Episode Quotes

Mr. Bennet: So Peter's invisible?
Isaac: That sounds so crazy.
Mr. Bennet: Any more than a man who can paint the future?

Claude: What are you doing?
Peter: Something unexpected.

Claude: Aha! You pushed that away with your mind. Which one of your sorry friends has telekinesis?
Peter: None of them do. Wait...that guy who was chasing Claire in Texas. He sent some lockers flying at me.
Claude: Texas? And you pulled that little trick out in here right now? Well, we might just have a chance of stopping you from going nuclear.

Issac: I would do anything for you, Simone, anything.
Simone: Find Peter.

Hope: The less questions you ask, Ando, the better off you’ll be in life.
Ando: Why is that?
Hope: That would be another question.

Sylar: I believe in fate, Mohinder, and karma, and I'm not just saying that 'cause you're Indian.

Janice: You know, Matt, for a guy that can read other people’s thoughts, you should spend a little time on your own.

Claude: (to Peter) You wanted to know why I was invisible all these years? It was because of them, and you brought the bastards right to my door!

Peter: Hey, I can't do this on my own.
Claude: Then I guess you go boom.

Simone: Where Peter sees hope, you see disaster. I guess I'm voting for the other guy.

Ando: But you kissed me. I thought you liked me.
Hope: Don't remind me.

Ando: Did your powers work? I had my eyes closed.
Hiro: Me too.

Dale: Funny, I didn't hear your footsteps.
Sylar: That's because there weren't any.
Dale: That sound, in your heart. What is it?
Sylar: Murder.

Ted: I had my blood tested. It's in me, that isotope.
Matt: Ted, you're radioactive by nature.

Mr. Bennet: Claire. We'll get through this. Your mom needs us. Lyle too.
Claire: I don't even know if I'll remember any of this tomorrow.

Peter: (to Isaac) What'd they give you, money? Drugs? What's a Judas get these days?

Episode Goofs
