Hayden Panettiere: Claire Bennet

Quotes 

• Claire Bennet : You're scared.

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah, I am. I'm terrified. I have to find a nuclear man and I don't know if I can contain all that power.

  Claire Bennet : Then run the other way.

  Peter Petrelli : I can't.

  Claire Bennet : Why not?

  Peter Petrelli : Because if we save ourselves, who's going to save everyone else?

• Claire Bennet : [to Peter]  My destiny is not to shoot you, Peter. The universe cannot be that lame.

• Peter Petrelli : It's not some fantasy. I explode. I see it. I wipe out this whole city. You, Nathan, everyone.

  Claire Bennet : You explode?

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah. Like a nuclear bomb.

  Claire Bennet : Nuclear? Like Ted.

  Peter Petrelli : Ted? Who the Hell is Ted?

• Peter Petrelli : You can't leave.

  Claire Bennet : I have to. It's until the election's over.

  Peter Petrelli : 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 Bennet : My father sacrificed himself so I could have a life, not a destiny. You can't save me, Peter, not this time.

  Peter Petrelli : And Nathan can?

  Claire Bennet : Nathan can keep me safe.

  Peter Petrelli : Safe? You can't get hurt! You're here to save the world.

  Claire Bennet : How? I'm sorry. I can't go around chasing some fantasy.

• Nathan Petrelli : So you're telling me this Ted Sprague guy blew up your house?

  [Claire looks at Peter behind Nathan, who nods] 

  Claire Bennet : Yeah. Pretty much.

  Peter Petrelli : Don't you see this, Nathan? Maybe I'm not the bomb. Maybe this guy Ted Sprague is. Maybe we can stop him?

  Nathan Petrelli : You said you had a dream that you blew up New York City.

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah, I also dreamed I could fly. We know how that turned out for you.

  Claire Bennet : You can fly?

  [quietly] 

  Claire Bennet : That's cool.

• Peter Petrelli : This bomb is happening.

  Claire Bennet : How can you be so sure?

  Peter Petrelli : 'Cause I can draw the future.

• Peter Petrelli : There's no sign of him. What's wrong?

  Claire Bennet : I'm not normal. I tried to pretend that I was and I just hurt everyone; my Mom, my Dad. I ruined everything because of what I am. I hated it. But you... - When I met you I finally felt like I was part of something.

  Peter Petrelli : It's funny. I felt the same thing when I met you.

  Claire Bennet : [seeing Noah]  Dad! Dad!

  Noah Bennet : Claire.

  Claire Bennet : Dad.

  Noah Bennet : I love you, Claire Bear.
