Virginia Gray: I'm leaving. And when I get back I expect you to be gone.
Sylar: Don't say that, mom. It's me, it's Gabriel.
Virginia Gray: You're not Gabriel. You're damned. And I want you out of my house. (Sylar reaches forward and takes hold of his mother's wrist.) Let go! Get away from me! Get away!
Sylar: Calm down!
Virginia Gray: (she tries to pull away.) I want my son! What did you do with my son!? Give me back my boy.
Sylar: Mom, it's me, it's me, please, stop it! (his mother picks up a pair of scissors.)
Virginia Gray: You're not Gabriel! You're not, you're not! (There's a struggle, then Sylar backs away from his mother. Scene reveals he has accidentally stabbed her in the chest with the scissors.)

West: Hi.
Claire: Hi.
West: I can't stop thinking about yesterday. It was amazing! I finally found someone I can be myself with.
Claire: Uh... about that. I-I'm not sure we should hang out anymore. It's just my parents are really overprotective.
West: Is this because we flew together? It weirded you out, didn't it?

West: I take it you're annoyed.
Claire: What is it, West? Huh? What do you want from me?
West: I want you to admit you're different.
Claire: Okay, fine, I'm a freak. Alright?
West: Claire.
Claire: I am such a freak, in fact, that I have to tip-toe around this school pretending to be a brainless Barbie doll so nobody notices how different I am. 'Cause if they found out, I'd be carted off to some human zoo where I'd be poked and prodded at for the rest of my life. So yeah, West, I'm different. And you can tell the world if you want to because I'm tired of pretending to be someone I'm not.
West: Claire, shut up. (lifts her up and flies.)

West: So, lizards, huh?
Claire: Tell me you didn't just time that so I'd walk right past you.
West: I figured you'd be more into whales or something. Unicorns.
Claire: You know, you make a lot of assumptions. Is my hair really that blonde?
West: I think it's cool actually. I'm sort of into genetics too.
Claire: I didn't say I was into genetics.
West: You don't have to hide everything interesting about you. Biology is supposed to be our destiny. But people forget genes can change!
Claire: I thought guys like you were supposed to sit in the back of the classroom and hate everything.
West: I just found this book. It's by some Indian guy, I can barely even pronounce his name. It's about everything you're talking about. People who evolved. There's a whole chapter on regeneration!
Claire: Sorry, I left all my awesome genetics expert reading for the summer vacation.

West: So, what are you?
Claire: Meaning what exactly?
West: Meaning are you one of them? Or one of the others?
Claire: I'm not sure I know what you're getting at.
West: Lemme break it down for you: are you a robot or an alien? 'Cause everyone in the world is one or the other.

Yaeko: Father! We came to save you.
Hiro: I am Hiro. And this is the great swordsman Takezo Kensei. He has come to save you.
Yaeko's father: Kensei? I thought you were a drunk.
Kensei: Turns out, I'm a hero.

Yaeko: How did we get here, Hiro?
Hiro: I don't know. We should find Kensei. He'll explain everything
Yaeko: No, you did it. You held me, and then we were here. You can move people from one place to another. (Yaeko covers Hiro's mouth.) You... with a mask. It was you, Hiro. All this time. It was you that did all those amazing things.
Hiro: I only wanted to fix history.
Yaeko: You saved me from the brigands. You were the one under the cherry blossoms. Do you... love me, Hiro?
Hiro: I do. Very much.
Yaeko: Everything I loved in Kensei came from you.

Yaeko: Perhaps now you can live happily with his princess.
Hiro: That's not how the story ends. It is the last trial. "Kensei and the Dragon". My father told it to me. The dragon who taught Kensei the way of the sword... demanded his love in return.
Yaeko: What did Kensei do?
Hiro: He cut out his own heart to save her. To save Japan.
Yaeko: Is that what you must do now? Cut out your heart?
Hiro: I nearly destroyed time by staying when I should have left. I must go back.
Yaeko: As long as I have a voice, all shall know the tale of noble Takezo Kensei. The boy Hiro Nakamura will have tales to help him sleep.
Hiro: And he will dream of the Princess.

Young Hiro: My father's going to die too?!
Hiro: Not for a long time!
Young Hiro: No! I must stop it. I am a hero!
Hiro: Some things even Takezo Kensei cannot change. We cannot play god.
Young Hiro: But I must honor him!
Hiro: Listen to him. Learn from his lessons. Strength... responsibility... and justice.

Zach: I know who I am. I like who I am. And I like who you are. I just wish you liked who you are.

(Claire opens the door to her room and finds Sylar standing there)
Sylar: Hello, Claire.
(Claire stares at Sylar in fear)
Sylar: I bet you're wondering where I've been since you saw me last, huh?
(Claire backs up)
Sylar: Let's just say I took a little...detour from my career path. Spent a little time south of the border. But...that's all behind me now like a long night after a bad taco.
Claire: (in disbelief) No. I saw Hiro Nakamura kill you. I was there.
Sylar: And yet, here I am. Fully recovered. Well...not fully. That's actually why I've come.
Claire: What do you want from me?
Sylar: The same thing I did last time I came for you. I want what you have, Claire. I want your power.

(Hiro and Ando have just dug Adam Monroe out of his grave)
Adam: (grabs Hiro's neck) Hiro, you son of a bi- (episode ends)

(Sylar is holding Claire up against a wall)
Claire: Where's Angela?
Sylar: Well, you wouldn't pick before so, I had to up the stakes. Save Daddy. Or is it Granny?
Claire: Let me go!
Sylar: Why are you even pretending? We both know you're going after your dad. Even after all the lies he's told you. How he's neglected you. What does that say about you, Claire?
(Claire stares at Sylar)
Sylar: That's the thing about the truth, Claire. It stings like a bitch.
Season 3 (Volume 4: Fugitives)

[Alone at home, Claire is suddenly grabbed by the Haitian.]
The Haitian: I work for your father. He sent me here to make you forget; like he sent me to your friend, and your brother, and to your mother, so many times. He'll be here soon, expecting that you won't remember anything. But it is very important that you do. Tell me, Claire, can you keep a secret?

[Ando stops Hiro just as he's about to teleport back to New York to face Sylar.]
Ando: You look bad ass.
Hiro: [smiling] Really?
