Quotes 

• Meredith Gordon : I bet you're all kinds of popular.

  Claire Bennet : I was homecoming queen.

  [looks away] 

  Claire Bennet : Kinda.

• Meredith Gordon : [Claire hangs up from a phone call from her adoptive mother Sandra. About Sandra]  She doesn't know you're here.

  Claire Bennet : She doesn't really understand what's going on with me right now. Neither of my parents do.

  Meredith Gordon : Well, I'll pretend I know why you're sneaking around. All girls deserve their secrets, right?

  Claire Bennet : Seems like I have a lot of them these days.

  [awkward pause] 

  Claire Bennet : I have to show you something. You may understand, or you may not, but... I think you should see.

  Meredith Gordon : See what?

  Claire Bennet : I think I know how I survived that fire.

  [grabs a nearby kitchen knife and puts the blade to her arm] 

  Meredith Gordon : [in a panic]  Claire, don't...!

  Claire Bennet : [calmly]  It's okay.

  [she slowly slices her arm open in front of a surprised Meredith; within seconds, the wound heals quickly] 

  Claire Bennet : Please say something.

  [after an awkward pause, Meredith smiles] 

  Meredith Gordon : Some family.

  [Meredith holds up her own arm and opens her fist; a small flame ignites on her palm as a shocked Claire looks on] 

• Claire Bennet : I was hoping you could tell me about my father.

  Meredith Gordon : Well that's complicated. He's kind of a big shot. Why don't you let me work on that for next time.

  Claire Bennet : Some family.

• Nathan Petrelli : [answering the phone]  Hello?

  Meredith Gordon : [on the phone]  You might not remember me - we haven't spoken in a long time-but... our daughter just found me. Did you hear what I just said? She's alive. We need to talk, Nathan.
