Episode Quotes |
| |
Sylar: I understood it before, the killing. I had a reason—to take what others didn't deserve. It was natural selection.
| Hiro: Don’t worry, New York! We will save you!
| Sylar: It’s just ... maybe I don’t have to be special. That it’s okay just to be a normal watchmaker. Can’t you just tell me that’s enough?
Virginia Gray: Why would I tell you that when I know you could be so much more?
| Sylar: Mom you're not even listening to me!
Virginia Gray: I am listening.
Sylar: No, you're making a tuna sandwich.
| Hiro: Future Hiro killed so much, he forgot it should be hard.
| Hiro: I can't kill a man who is asking for forgiveness. It's not the Bushido code. Everyone deserves a second chance.
| Claire: (to Peter) My destiny is not to shoot you. The universe can not be that lame.
| Peter: Look, I found you in Odessa, we saved each other, you end up being my niece. This isn’t just random, okay? This is destiny.
Claire: My father sacrificed himself so I could have a life, not a destiny. You can’t save me, Peter, not this time.
Peter: And Nathan can?
Claire: Nathan can keep me safe.
Peter: Safe? You can’t get hurt! You’re here to save the world.
Claire: How?!?
| Peter: I’m terrified. I have to find a nuclear man and I don’t know if I can contain all that power.
Claire: Then run the other way!
Peter: I can’t.
Claire: Why not?
Peter: Because if we save ourselves, who’s gonna save everyone else?
| Sylar: You were right, Mom, I am meant to be special just like you wanted. I can be anything; I can even be President.
