- Hiro Nakamura: Hello! I am very special! I offer myself in trade! Release un-special Ando, and I go with you, okay?
- Nathan Petrelli: Dr. Suresh? Do you remember me?
- Mohinder Suresh: Nathan Petrelli.
- Nathan Petrelli: You yelled at my car.
- Mohinder Suresh: Yes, we met under unfortunate circumstances. I believe I came off as a deranged lunatic.
- Zach: There was a fire in an apartment house fourteen years ago in Kermit, Texas. Kermit - why does that sound so familiar?
- Claire Bennet: 'Cause of the frog?
- Zach: You may still have a real family out there. Maybe you've got an aunt or a rich, eccentric uncle.
- Claire Bennet: Great, an *uncle*.
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] You came back for me.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] This is how we roll.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] My power is lost until I get the sword. It focused the samurai Kensei's power. It will do the same for me.
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] But Hiro, if you have no power, how can we steal the sword?
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] I will find a way. That sword is my destiny. A samurai's weapon must be used with honor. And respect. This sword has many lessons to teach.
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] Swords are for killing. That's why they're sharp.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Maybe I use the sword to kill bomb-man. Is it my destiny to kill this man?
- Peter Petrelli: I found you for a reason. I think you're the one that has to teach me how to stop this.
- Claude: There's no such thing. No teaching. No Sunday school for the special. What I can do, you can't learn - you wake up in the morning, it's there. If you've got thin soup, then that's your supper. Sorry, Mate. That's the way it is.
- Peter Petrelli: I'm trying not to die. There's got to be something you can do.
- Claude: I can kill you myself right now. Solve your exploding problem here. Maybe that's why you dreamt me. Don't bother looking for me. You won't find me here again.
- Claude: A nurse who's an empath, very cute.
- Peter Petrelli: Empath? What's that mean?
- Claude: It means you're a pain in my ass, Mate.
- [first lines]
- Mohinder Suresh: [voiceover] When we embrace what lies within, our potential has no limit. The future is filled with promise; the present rife with expectation. When we deny our instinct, and struggle against our deepest urges, uncertainty begins. Where does this path lead? When will the changes end? Is this transformation a gift or a curse? For those who fear what lies ahead, the most important question of all - can we ever really change what we are?
- Peter Petrelli: You?
- Claude: You can see me.
- Peter Petrelli: You...
- [Claude grabs Peter by the neck]
- Claude: Nobody can see me! I'm invisible! Who are you? How can you see me?
- Peter Petrelli: [choked] I don't know. I just do what you can do.
- [Claude lets him down]
- Claude: Fantastic! One of those.
- Peter Petrelli: One of those. What do you mean? You know someone else like me? Hey, wait. Where are you going? You need to explain this! I saw you. I saw you in my dream. Who are you?
- Claude: Forget you ever saw me!
- Peter Petrelli: Yeah, but, you know! What's happening to me? What is this? I found you. I need you to help me.
- Claude: Why would I wanna do that?
- Peter Petrelli: Because, we're in danger. This entire city is in danger. It was in my dream. People die. We die. I don't know when, but it happens.
- Claude: Then you better leave town.
- Peter Petrelli: Hey, where are you going? You can't hide from me!
- Claude: I'm the invisible man; I can walk 'round the corner and disappear forever.
- Claude: Yeah, but I can see you. I'm gonna follow you.
- Peter Petrelli: Smarter men than you have tried and have paid for it. You stay away from me. And don't follow me!
- Claude: I told you not to follow me.
- Peter Petrelli: I need help. You live up here?
- Claude: You're not a fast learner, eh, mate?
- Peter Petrelli: I took care of a man who owned this building. His name was Charles Deveaux.
- Claude: Never heard of him.
- Peter Petrelli: You don't think that's strange? I worked here. The place where you live and keep your birds.
- Claude: I don't keep anything. I let 'em out once a day, they come back. Sounds like free will to me.
- Peter Petrelli: I need to learn how to control this. Like you do.
- Claude: What are you talking about? It can't be controlled.
- Peter Petrelli: There has to be some way. If, if I don't, New York explodes. Okay? I explode.
- Claude: An exploding man, where'd you get that idea?
- Peter Petrelli: My dreams. This place.
- Claire Bennet: My dad lied to me about my entire life; my biological parents, my ability, you can't just hide things like that! There's got to be something on there.
- Zach: If your dad's the guy you're describing I don't think he's gonna keep his secrets on the family computer.
- Matt Parkman: Yes, I will call the plumber today.
- Janice Parkman: Are you always gonna be in my head?
- Matt Parkman: Well, I can't control this thing.
- Janice Parkman: You can't or you won't?
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] Who are these people? And why is everyone always chasing us?
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Because I'm special.
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] Well, I'm not special. And I'm tired of getting chased.
- Mohinder Suresh: Peter's specific DNA allows for a blend. Like colors in a mosaic, re-sequencing itself to mimic the abilities of those around him.
- Nathan Petrelli: Like a chameleon.
- Mohinder Suresh: More like a sponge. It's precisely why I've been studying him.
- Nathan Petrelli: Could his condition become dangerous, to himself or to other people?
- Mohinder Suresh: If he absorbs too much or comes into contact with an unstable ability, then most definitely yes.
- Nathan Petrelli: Can you fix it?
- The Haitian: Is your father becoming suspicious?
- Claire Bennet: No. And it's kind of a problem. Every word out of my mouth is a lie. I have to laugh and smile and look him in the eye - my own father. It's breaking my heart.
- The Haitian: Would you prefer I took your memory?
- Claire Bennet: I need to know that one thing in my life is real. Do you know who my real parents are?
- The Haitian: Of your father, I know nothing.
- Claire Bennet: And my mother?
- The Haitian: Only that she died in an explosion, here in Texas, fourteen years ago.
- Claire Bennet: My mother died? Are you sure?
- The Haitian: Your father told me many years ago. He had no reason to lie. This is the last conversation we have about this. And now, you need to go back home and forget about your real parents.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in English to Nakamura's Henchman] Where are you taking us?
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] Why isn't he talking to us?
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Maybe... he is not the Big Boss.
- [in English to Nakamura's Henchman]
- Hiro Nakamura: Tell your boss I'm on very important mission.
- Nakamura's Henchman: I know all about your so-called mission to save the world, Mr. Nakamura. You think you have a power, and that you can use it to make a difference.
- [in Japanese]
- Nakamura's Henchman: You are... wrong.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Who are you?
- Nakamura's Henchman: [in Japanese] I work for someone...who has true power. A man who knows what you're up to. And wants you... to stop.
- [in English]
- Nakamura's Henchman: Two first class tickets. Non-stop to Tokyo.
- Ando Masahashi: [in English] First class?
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Ando, do not be tempted. Those tickets are a test... of our devotion to our mission. You cannot bribe a hero. My heart is true. My spirit unbreakable. When I meet your Big Boss, I will tell him the same thing!
- Nakamura's Henchman: [in Japanese] Oh -- he won't like that. Not one bit.
- Peter Petrelli: I know you want to help me. You're my big brother and you fix everything but you can't. You can't fix this one this time.
- Nathan Petrelli: I can. Look, let's just sit down. We can figure this out.
- Peter Petrelli: Okay.
- Nathan Petrelli: Okay?
- Peter Petrelli: Okay.
- [Peter runs away]
- Nathan Petrelli: Peter!
- [to the Bodyguard]
- Nathan Petrelli: Where did he go?
- Bodyguard: Who?
- Nathan Petrelli: You're supposed to watch the door.
- Mohinder Suresh: [pointing to an open window] My God, did he just?
- Claude: This your place?
- Peter Petrelli: Yeah.
- Claude: A guy with family connections like yours could do a lot better.
- Peter Petrelli: I left the family business. I'm a nurse now.
- Peter Petrelli: You're following me.
- Claude: Yeah, well I'm not very much of a people person, but I'm certainly not gonna let you kill them all. You seem pretty sure about that pending apocalypse of yours.
- Peter Petrelli: Yeah? Not unless you help me control it.
- Claude: You don't know what you're asking. What you'll have to go through. You might want to reconsider dying. A hell of a lot easier.
- Peter Petrelli: I can handle it.
- Claude: Yeah, that's what they all say.
- Peter Petrelli: They? How many people have you taught, before me?
- Claude: Come on, mate; I'll steal us a cab. Are you coming or not?
- LAPD Police Captain Knox: [to Matt] Officer Parkman, we're enforcing a six month suspension. We're gonna need your gun and your badge.
- Claire Bennet: My name's Claire Bennet. I'm calling from Odessa.
- Meredith Gordon: What is this about? And how do you know the name Meredith Gordon?
- Claire Bennet: I think she was my mom.
- Meredith Gordon: Is this some kind of joke?
- Claire Bennet: No, ma'am.
- Meredith Gordon: Well, Meredith only had one daughter, and she died in the fire.
- Claire Bennet: Well, that's kind of what I'm trying to say, is I didn't die. I think I'm her, and I'm looking for any information I can find about my mom.
- Meredith Gordon: Well, then you made the right call. This is her.
- Claire Bennet: Mom?
