- Hiro Nakamura: The bomb, it comes from the street. Destroy everything! Everything turning to dust! Poof!
- Nathan Petrelli: Your English is a lot better.
- Hiro Nakamura: I met a waitress in Texas.
- Nathan Petrelli: Oh, yeah?
- Hiro Nakamura: She teach me many things.
- Nathan Petrelli: Good for you. So, uh, look, I can't believe I'm about to say this. You-you... teleported here...? Back from the future?
- Hiro Nakamura: Yes. My power let me come back here so I can stop it.
- Nathan Petrelli: Right. Because "you're Hiro"?
- Hiro Nakamura: You will help too.
- Nathan Petrelli: Me? What makes you so sure?
- Hiro Nakamura: You flying man! Whooshhhhh!
- Nathan Petrelli: Would you keep it down?
- Hiro Nakamura: [much quieter and softer] Whooshhhhh!
- Nathan Petrelli: What do you think it is that makes this bomb thing go off?
- Hiro Nakamura: Dunno. Probably bad guy?
- Nathan Petrelli: Bad guy?
- Hiro Nakamura: Yes. Like billain
- Nathan Petrelli: What's that?
- Hiro Nakamura: Billain.
- Nathan Petrelli: Billain?
- Hiro Nakamura: Billain.
- Nathan Petrelli: Villain!
- Hiro Nakamura: Vee?
- Nathan Petrelli: Vee!
- Hiro Nakamura: Vee-llain!
- The Haitian: You are not alone, Claire, and I cannot give your friend back his memories. It's not how my gift works.
- Claire Bennet: Your gift? Is that what you call it?
- The Haitian: What do you call it?
- Claire Bennet: My own private freakshow.
- The Haitian: What you can do, what I can do, that is God. Respect it accordingly.
- Hiro Nakamura: Takezo Kensai. My father used to tell me stories about him before bed. He was a wild savage with great power. All of Japan feared him. Until one day he found a sacred sword, frozen in the snow. From the moment Kensai held it... it focused all his strength. He said the sword let him control his power. And so he became a great leader. A hero.
- [Ando looks at the symbol on the sword]
- Ando Masahashi: That symbol there. It's a combination of characters. "Great talent"... "Godsend." "Great talent"... "Godsend." Like your power.
- Hiro Nakamura: See? I'm like him. The sword will give me the control over my power I need. It's my sacred object. With it my powers will return and I can fulfill my destiny.
- Ando Masahashi: What exactly are you saying?
- Hiro Nakamura: I'm saying we take it.
- Ando Masahashi: We?
- Micah Sanders: [DL offers his son a mangled sandwich] Okay, your first mistake? Never put the peanut butter in the refrigerator. Mom always keeps it at room temperature.
- D.L. Hawkins: Well, your dad's got his own style.
- Micah Sanders: I see that.
- D.L. Hawkins: So no more looking over my shoulder?
- Aron Malsky: Only if you wish to see where you've been.
- Ando Masahashi: There's security everywhere. Stealing isn't exactly part of Bushido code, you know.
- Hiro Nakamura: It's one antique. If I don't have my powers... , this whole museum will explode anyway. It's a good deal for them.
- Claire Bennet: I can't do this by myself. And I know you can keep a secret, you did. You did until you forgot what it was.
- Simone Deveaux: You're really Hiro Nakamura from... from... from Isaac's comic book?
- Hiro Nakamura: [opening a comic book] Yeah. I work there at Yamagato, and we fly here and we drive that car everywhere - blue Nissan Versa. It's parked outside right now! I'm just like Mr. Isaac draw me - except my face not so round.
- Simone Deveaux: Okay, yeah! I'm gonna give up, the world is insane.
- Claire Bennet: [to the camera, after jumping off an oil tower and getting up unharmed] This is Claire Bennet and, as far as you know, that was attempt number one.
- [last lines]
- Niki Sanders: Oh God, please help me.
- Jessica Sanders: Who needs God, when you've got me?
- Claire Bennet: "Save the cheerleader, save the world...". What does that even mean? Have I been saved, or do I still need saving?
- The Haitian: You are saved for the time being.
- Matt Parkman: Where is he? Where's Sylar?
- Noah Bennet: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- FBI Agent Audrey Hanson: He's not here, Parkman. Nice going.
- Noah Bennet: Oops!
- Hiro Nakamura: All the books I read said the sword is here.
- Ando Masahashi: So what? We finally make it to New York and all you care about is a sword. What about your mission?
- Hiro Nakamura: I need my powers for the mission!
- Ando Masahashi: But the bomb is going off on November eighth. We only have three more weeks.
- Hiro Nakamura: I know, but ever since I lost Charlie my powers have gotten weaker and weaker. My sword will restore my powers.
- Ando Masahashi: It's not your sword.
- Simone Deveaux: [talking about Peter's health] He's burning up.
- Angela Petrelli: Persistent idiopathic fever. Means they have no idea what's wrong. Find the best doctors in the world, just to have them tell me they don't know what they're doing in four different languages.
- Nathan Petrelli: Just before he passed out he said he, uh... he felt he was absorbing too many powers.
- Simone Deveaux: Peter wanted to see that painting.
- Nathan Petrelli: After I told you not to let him, you knew he was gonna follow that thing head first, all the way to Texas. He's my brother, and I love him, but we both know he shouldn't have even been there.
- Simone Deveaux: It was important to him.
- Nathan Petrelli: You really believe all this crap? Future paintings? The end of the world?
- Simone Deveaux: I know he believes it. And I believe in him.
- Detective: [about Eden] They pulled her out of Lake Ramsey in Sudbury. A hundred miles out of Ontario. Gunshot woung to the head. Local law wrote it up to suicide.
- Matt Parkman: Listen to me, I have no idea how you're pulling this off, but I swear to God, I'm not going to stop until I figure it out... You understand me?
- Noah Bennet: [Mr. Bennett looks Matt in the eyes] Good luck with that.
- Claire Bennet: Zach.
- Zach: Hey, this is a public place. Are you sure you can be seen here with me?
- Claire Bennet: Why not?
- Zach: Right, I forgot. You've been body-snatched.
- Claire Bennet: Look, I just want to talk.
- Zach: Hey, I'm sorry about Jackie. I know she was your best friend and all.
- Claire Bennet: No, I actually discovered that someone else was my best friend. But I lost him too.
- Zach: What happened to you at homecoming?
- Claire Bennet: I can't remember. Can't remember a lot of things lately.
- Zach: Yeah, it's uh... That's funny, 'cause lately I can't remember... Must be something in the water, right?
- Claire Bennet: Zach, look at me. Do you feel like we could be friends?
- Zach: Us? No. We wouldn't play well together.
- Ando Masahashi: [after Hiro steals sword from museum] That was amazing! You did it, Hiro!
- Hiro Nakamura: Never doubt me again. With this sword there's no limit to what I can accomplish. Our life of legend begins.
- Hiro Nakamura: Mr. Isaac. Bad news, sword not there. It was replica. Original owned by man named Linderman.
- Nathan Petrelli: [Nathan comes from behind a painting] Did he say Linderman?
- Hiro Nakamura: [throws up his hand and shouts] Flying man!
- Claire Bennet: We've been here before. You, me, the video camera. Is it at all familiar?
- Zach: What are you doing, auditioning for "America's Next Top Model"?
- Claire Bennet: You made that joke the first time. Look, just keep the camera on me, okay?
- Zach: Why don't you just use a tripod.
- Zach: Hold on a second. I'm sure you told me this before, but, um, why are we videotaping this, whatever this is?
- Claire Bennet: Actually, I didn't tell you that before. The first time I did this I did it to show my parents, my real parents. I wanted them to see what I was. I thought they could help me understand. But I don't think I'm ever gonna meet them. They may not even be alive any more.
- Zach: So why do you wanna tape it now?
- Claire Bennet: For me. So I never forget what I am, no matter what happens to me. Just don't freak out, okay?
- Zach: I won't.
- Claire Bennet: You said that last time.
- Zach: The cameras ready for whatever.
- Claire Bennet: Okay, ready. Keep the camera on me.
- Zach: What are you doing? Oh my God! Claire!
- Peter Petrelli: I took his power, Nathan. I can't control it.
- Nathan Petrelli: Let me help you, Peter.
- Peter Petrelli: You can't. No! No!
- [wakes up from his nightmare]
- Peter Petrelli: Noooo!
- Mohinder Suresh: [voiceover at the end of the episode] In the beginning, there was discovery, a confusion of elements, a first snowfall of impossible change. Old lives undone, left behind, strange faces made familiar, new nightmares to challenge sleep, new friends to feel safe with. Only then comes control, the need to impose order onto chaos through determination, through study, through struggle...
- D.L. Hawkins: She's gonna be okay. You know that, right?
- Micah Sanders: You'd tell me the truth, right?
- Mohinder Suresh: [voice over narration] All in defiance of a thundering truth. They're here, and the earth shudders underfoot.
- Simone Deveaux: [to Hiro about Linderman] He's a client of mine. Get your car. You're going back to Vegas.
- Peter Petrelli: You?
- Claude: You can see me.
- Peter Petrelli: You...
- [Claude grabs Peter by the neck]
- Claude: Nobody sees me! Do you hear me? I'm invisible!
