Quotes 

• Mr. Linderman : [to Nathan]  There's six and a half billion people on this planet. That's less than point zero per cent. Come on, that's an acceptable loss by anyone's account.

• Mr. Linderman : Look, I said people needed hope, but they trust fear.

  Nathan Petrelli : This is crazy.

  Mr. Linderman : This tragedy will be a catalyst for good, for change. Out of the ashes humanity will find a common goal, a united sense of hope - couched in a united sense of fear.

• Nathan Petrelli : [Nathan sees Hiro in one of Isaac's paintings]  I know this man.

  Mr. Linderman : Oh, great. If you see him again tell him I want my sword back.

  Nathan Petrelli : He said he needed it to save the world. A lot of people seem to be saying that these days.

• Mr. Linderman : I need to borrow your Micah... Briefly.

  Jessica Sanders : Borrow?

  Mr. Linderman : Yeah... That is... His talent. I want to help Micah acheive something monumental in his life. I had a plan in place that until recently began to unravel. I need your son to help me repair it.

  Jessica Sanders : Micah wasn't part of our deal. I don't want him involved in all this.

  Mr. Linderman : Understand... Micah is involved at the mere fact of his birth. Now I've been, I think, more than fair to you. I mean, I helped you out of a tough spot. Spared you that long walk to the gas chamber even. So... A chocolate milk, all the cookies he can eat, and I'll tell you what, I'll even make him a fresh sandwich myself.

  Jessica Sanders : You need something from me, point and I'll shoot. Micah's off limits.

• Mr. Linderman : [to Nathan]  And it is your destiny Nathan to be the leader who uses this event to rally a city, a nation, a world. If you look deep into your heart, you know I'm right.

• [first lines] 

  Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  People think I collect art. What I really collect are lives fixed in paint. A perfect moment capturing an entire existence, made immortal.

  Mohinder Suresh : What you've done isn't evolution, it's murder. What I am doing - is revenge.

  Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  A monster's fight to survive... and live to kill again. A mother willing to fracture her own soul to protect her child.

  D.L. Hawkins : Don't lie to me anymore. You told me she was gone now. Which one of you is in control. Niki? Jessica?

  Niki Sanders : I'm not so sure.

  Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  Youth's struggle for innocence, despite life's cruelty.

  Claire Bennet : Who are you?

  Angela Petrelli : I'm your grandmother.

• Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  The double-edged lies needed to sustain a double-edged life.

  Sandra Bennet : He is going to be a problem. Why don't we do it right now?

  [turning into Candice] 

  Candice Wilmer : Sorry.

  Thompson : What do you think?

  Matt Parkman : He's telling the truth. He doesn't know where Claire is.

  Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  A wandering hero's pure joy at success.

  Hiro Nakamura : Yatta!

  Mr. Linderman : [voice over narration]  And his darkest hour, when all the world seems lost. All perfect moments frozen in time. Alone, each tells a single story. Together, they can tell the future

• Nathan Petrelli : What could you possibly know about healing?

  Mr. Linderman : [touches dying plant, then waves hand in front of it slowly as the plant heals]  A few things.

• Mr. Linderman : [to Nathan]  We all have our roles to play in the events to come.

• Mr. Linderman : This isn't just a collection of art. This is a road map. These artists envisioned a brighter future: peace, prosperity...

  Nathan Petrelli : That's your idea of a brighter future?

  [points at painting of nuclear explosion] 

  Mr. Linderman : What if I was to tell you that it was?

  Nathan Petrelli : I'd say you were a lousy humanitarian.

• Mr. Linderman : The request was a courtesy, dear.

  Jessica Sanders : Send anyone you want. You're not touching my son.

• Mr. Linderman : [Mr. Linderman and Micah meet for the first time]  That's alright, gentlemen. I want to greet this young man, myself. It's a great pleasure to meet you, Micah.

  [he shakes Micah's hand] 

  Micah Sanders : Thank you.

  Mr. Linderman : How would you like to save the world today?

  [Micah looks at "Jessica," who smiles at him] 

• Nathan Petrelli : [Nathan sees Hiro in one of Isaac's paintings]  I have seen him before.

  Daniel Linderman : If you see him again tell him I want my sword back.
