Episode Quotes
 
(talking about Future Hiro)
Hiro: I look upset.
Ando: Go. Talk to yourself.
Hiro: No way. I scare me. You do it.
 
Future Hiro: Save the cheerleader...
Hiro: ...save the world.
 
Matt: How can you not remember that?
Hiro: Because I have no idea what you are talking about.
 
Nathan: In your original assessment you posited a possible solution. Extinction.
Mohinder: Yes, but I never meant to suggest that….
Nathan: (reading the report) “They wouldn’t be the first species to be exterminated for the preservation of another.” Your words.
Mohinder: I was talking about the natural order of things. What you’re talking about is genocide.
 
Mohinder: You're one of them, Nathan! Are you suggesting I should send you off to the gas chambers as well?
Nathan: Please. I can fly. I wouldn't consider myself dangerous.
 
Hiro: (to Parkman) You are like me. Special. Why do you want to hurt other special people?
 
Ando: You've always wanted to become a kendo master.
Future Hiro: I studied in Tohoku, so technically I'm a Battojutsu master.
 
Mohinder: Hiro Nakamura can stop time. Teleport by folding space. Theoretically, he can fold time as well.
Matt: So you're saying he's a time traveler.
Mohinder: Is that any stranger than being able to read someone's mind?
Matt: Yeah, it is.
 
Peter: Do you remember how he used be — all full of hope and optimism?
Ando: Of course, that's the Hiro I know."
Peter: It went away the day you died. Between you and me, I think you're the reason why he became so obsessed with changing it all back. He wants to save you.
 
Peter: (to Niki, in the future) Because it was me! The bomb -- it was me. I killed all those people. I killed Micah.
 
Ando: Is everything okay?
Future Peter: No. Let's go fix it.
 
Future Hiro: Should we freeze time?
Future Peter: Nah, I haven't had a good fight in years.
 
Hiro: No, Future Me! He's good guy!
 
Peter: You will pay for what you did to Nathan. What you did in his name!
Sylar: What I did? When I killed your brother, he had already turned against his own kind.
Peter: Liar.
 
(after arriving back in the present)
Hiro: Now for the hard part.
