Milo Ventimiglia: Peter Petrelli

Quotes 

• Peter Petrelli : What if he can? Paint the future, I mean? Stranger things, right?

  Simone Deveraux : No, that's about as strange as it gets.

• Nathan Petrelli : [to Peter]  Don't insult me. I've got trained professionals that do that.

  Simone Deveraux : [seen wearing only Peter's shirt]  Hey! Where's your mugs?

  Peter Petrelli : Hey. It's... uh... They're in the cabinet, with the water stain that looks like Abraham Lincoln.

• Mohinder Suresh : Look at what's happening to our planet: over-population, global warming, drought, famine, terrorism - deep down we all sense something's not right. My father always talked about how an entire species will go extinct, while others no more unique or complex will change and adapt in extraordinary ways- He had a romantic take on evolution.

  Peter Petrelli : And you don't? You're both geneticists.

  Mohinder Suresh : That is also evolution. We're all just variations of the last model.

  Peter Petrelli : Ch'yeah. We're just cheap knock-offs of our fathers.

• Simone Deveraux : Peter, I... uh, I don't know what this is. I mean, us. You know, I just got out of a two year relationship that was very destructive. And here I am sleeping with the guy who was taking care of my dying father and it's a little confusing.

  Peter Petrelli : I don't wanna be the rebound guy.

  Simone Deveraux : I just need time to catch my breath before you take it away again. Okay?

• Peter Petrelli : You Chandra Suresh?

  Mohinder Suresh : No. That was my father.

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah, um... Your father wrote a book about people with... abilities. I-I think I may be one of them.

• Peter Petrelli : I've only met him the once, but maybe I ought to do the talking to start. He's, uh, he's kind of a heroin addict.

  Mohinder Suresh : Heroin addict? You neglected to mention that.

  Peter Petrelli : Hey, just suspend the skepticism, at least until you meet him.

  Mohinder Suresh : The default scientific position is skepticism.

  Peter Petrelli : Well, your father managed to get around it. I don't know, he took a pretty big leap. Gotta respect that.

  Mohinder Suresh : I did more than respect it. I believed him. I had to. I was his son.

  Peter Petrelli : Can't be the only reason why you believed him.

• Hiro Nakamura : [as Future Hiro]  Peter Petrelli.

  Peter Petrelli : How is this happening?

  Hiro Nakamura : [as Future Hiro]  I'm sorry if I scared you. You look different without your scar.

  Peter Petrelli : I don't know you, buddy.

  Hiro Nakamura : [as Future Hiro]  Not yet.

• Mohinder Suresh : So when you're with your brother you can fly, and when you're with the artist...

  Peter Petrelli : Isaac. Yeah. Umm, I only met him once, but after, I-I drew the future.

  Mohinder Suresh : And now you can't do either.

  Peter Petrelli : Maybe I can only do things when I'm around other people who can... do things.

  [pause] 

  Peter Petrelli : 'Kay, that sound as lame as I think it did?

  Mohinder Suresh : It sounds like you should be talking to my father. This was his research, not mine.

  Peter Petrelli : Well, where is he? How do I get a hold of him?

  Mohinder Suresh : He's on the table.

  Peter Petrelli : [sees urn]  I-I'm sorry. But you believe that this is possible, you have to. I mean, you believed it this morning. What if I prove it to you?

  Mohinder Suresh : Then prove it.
