Quotes 

• Mr. Linderman : You see, I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning.

  Nathan Petrelli : I'd like to think I have both.

  Mr. Linderman : Can't be done. Two very different paths. I mean, to be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present. And with no thought of what's gone before, and no thought of what lies ahead. But, a life of meaning... A man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future. And my guess is that you've done quite a bit of obsessing about yours these last few days.

• Nathan Petrelli : Just stay with me.

  Peter Petrelli : I can't. I can't. As long as I'm alive, everyone around me is in danger.

• Nathan Petrelli : Hiro?

  Hiro Nakamura : [after he sees Nathan]  Mr. Petrelli? Flying man!

  Nathan Petrelli : Shh... Not here.

  Hiro Nakamura : [softly]  Flying man.

  Nathan Petrelli : Let me guess, you're still trying to steal that sword from Mr. Linderman? Where's your friend?

  Hiro Nakamura : Ando? I sent him back to Japan. This mission getting too dangerous for him.

  Nathan Petrelli : I think I know what you mean. You can't protect everyone, right? Sometimes it's better to go it alone. The more people you try to help...

  Hiro Nakamura : ...The more people get hurt. Please, you must help me. I can't get past casino security, try it.

  Nathan Petrelli : When I first meet you, I thought you were nuts.

  Hiro Nakamura : Is okay, I thought you were mean. But now I know you pretend that you don't care about anyone, but you care too much.

• Mr. Linderman : Do you like vegetables, Nathan?

  Nathan Petrelli : I've been known to eat zucchini when the mood strikes, but not as a rule.

• Mr. Linderman : [about Nathan holding a gun on him]  I won't hold it against you. Lots of men have tried to kill me.

  Nathan Petrelli : Then I'll be the last.
