- 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!
- 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.
- [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.
- 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]
- 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: 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.
- [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]
- Hiro Nakamura: 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.
- 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.
- 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]
- Hiro Nakamura: 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]
- Mr. Bennet: 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]
- Mr. Bennet: Hollow him out. Take everything.
