Sylar: I can't feel my fingers.
Mohinder: It's the curare. It induces paralysis of the brain. Which means you can't control your abilities.
Sylar: Whoever you think I am, I'm not.
Mohinder: You are the man who murdered my father. Do you still expect me to believe you're Zane Taylor? Zane was killed three days ago. The same day I met you. And you thought you were so clever giving me his DNA. You're a parasite. You killed my father and fed off his work. (taps a tuning fork against the chair and holds it up to Sylar's ear.) Let me hear you say it, tell me your name. Say it. I want to hear you say it!
Sylar: (in pain) Sylar!
Mohinder: There's only one thing to do with a parasite. Kill it before it kills again.
Sylar: You're just like your father, murderers, the both of you.
Mohinder: I'm a scientist.
Sylar: (laughs.) Your father said that but he kept leading me to them.
Mohinder: He had no idea what you were.
Sylar: He knew. He might not have admitted it, but after all, we were making so much progress together. Why would he stop?
Mohinder: (Mohinder brings out a gun and points it at Sylar.) You know nothing about my father!
Sylar: I know everything. He confided in me. He told me things he felt he could never tell you. Things about your sister, Shanti. He thought you were too... what's the word - fragile - to know the truth. That's why he liked me. (Mohinder presses the gun against Sylar's forehead.) You were always seeking his approval while I provided stimulation. He gave up on you, but he adored me. Now who's the real parasite here?! (Mohinder's hand falls to his side.)
Mohinder: You're right. My father did want answers. He called you 'Patient Zero'. You're the template he used to create this formula. You're the key to unlocking his secret. As much as I'd like to, killing you will not give me what I need.
Sylar: So what are you gonna do?
Mohinder: I'm going to take a sample of your spinal fluid. (leans down and whispers in his ear.) And it's going to hurt. You might actually do some good before you die. (Mohinder inserts needle into Sylar's spine; Sylar screams.)

Sylar: I fix watches.
Virginia Gray: That's a hobby. Investment banking is a very lucrative field.
Sylar: I can't be an investment banker.
Virginia Gray: You could be anything you want.
Sylar: Mom, he wouldn't even remember who I am.
Virginia Gray: Who could forget you?
Sylar: Mom, you're not even listening to me!
Virginia Gray: I am listening.
Sylar: No...you're making a tuna sandwich.
Virginia Gray: So?
Sylar: I asked you not to.
Virginia Gray: I made a mistake. I'm sorry.
Sylar: Mom - mom, don't. It's just... maybe I don't have to be special. That's okay, to just be a normal watchmaker. Can't you just tell me that's enough?
Virginia Gray: Why would I tell you that when I know you could be so much more? If you wanted, you could be president.
Virginia Gray: That's a hobby. Investment banking is a very lucrative field.
Sylar: I can't be an investment banker.

Virginia Gray: Why would I tell you that when I know you could be so much more? If you wanted, you could be president.
Sylar: I remember you. You're like me, aren't you? I'd like to see how that works. (Sylar begins to open Peter's head.)
Peter: (begins screaming in pain, and then heals. Peter flings Sylar across the room against the wall, and Mohinder drops from the ceiling.)
Sylar: Oh no. I'm not done with him yet. (Peter turns invisible.) Interesting, I can't wait to try that one.
Peter: (begins screaming in pain, and then heals. Peter flings Sylar across the room against the wall, and Mohinder drops from the ceiling.)
Sylar: Oh no. I'm not done with him yet. (Peter turns invisible.) Interesting, I can't wait to try that one.
Sylar: I understood it before, the killing. I had a reason -- to take what others didn't deserve. It was natural selection.
Sylar: Please. I'm sorry I scared you, just come out. Mom, I saw a vision of the future and I'm gonna kill a lot of people. Tell me why I would do that. Mom. Mom!
Sylar: So this is the list?
Mohinder: Yes, what's left of it. Most of these people are missing or dead. I'm going to run your DNA sample against my father's formula. It will take you someplace safe.
Sylar: This is your father's formula? This is how he made this, this is how he found me.
Mohinder: Yes, although I haven't figured out what it is looking for. A specific gene? Codons? It's the proverbial needle.
Sylar: Did my DNA help?
Mohinder: No.
Sylar: Okay, well, Mohinder, you've been driving all night, why don't you just take a break?
Mohinder: I can't! These people are in danger. We have to warn them. If Sylar gets to them first-
Sylar: Exactly! So let me help. I mean, here. This one is in New York - Isaac Mendez. I'll call him, and you just relax. Just take a minute.
Mohinder: You're very kind. Thank you.
Sylar: ...You have no idea how alone I used to feel. How insignificant. You've given me hope.
Mohinder: Hope is great, we need caffeine.
Sylar: So this formula, if you figure it out, how many of us will you find?
Mohinder: Who knows? Hundreds, thousands, maybe more.
Sylar: (dials Isaac's number, receives busy signal.) It's busy. I'll get him later. (Mohinder hands Sylar a cup of tea, Sylar raises his glass.) To new friends. (They clink teacups in toast; only Sylar sips the drink.) This is good, what is it?
Mohinder: Chai. It's a special blend my father brought from India.
Sylar: Who're we going to call next?
Mohinder: No one. (Stands, faces Sylar) I already have you, Mr. Sylar.
(Sylar drops the glass and passes out.)

Sylar: That clock's broken.
Virginia Gray: Oh, that old thing. I should've thrown it away years ago.
Sylar: It was Dad's.
Virginia Gray: It's junk.
Sylar: It's a beautiful piece. It just needs a little attention.
Virginia Gray: I can't tell you how proud I am.
Sylar: I haven't done anything.
Virginia Gray: You've traveled the world. Some of us only get to see it in snow globes.
Virginia Gray: Oh, that old thing. I should've thrown it away years ago.

Virginia Gray: You've traveled the world. Some of us only get to see it in snow globes.
Sylar: That's it? Just a simple injection? (Sylar takes the blood.) I'm sure Maya will understand if I'm not here when she wakes up.
