[At the Union Wells High crime scene, Agt. Audrey Hanson is skeptical of Sgt. Matt Parkman's marital fidelity.]
Audrey: Well, statistically speaking, law enforcement attracts a certain kind of male personality.
Matt: Ohhh. What personality would that be?
Audrey: Dogs.
Matt: And the female personality?
Audrey: Bitches. We keep it in the canine family.

[Closing voiceover.]
Mohinder: For all his bluster, it is the sad province of man that he cannot choose his triumph. He can only choose how he will stand when the call of destiny comes, hoping he will have the courage to answer.

[Closing voiceover.]
Mohinder: This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

[Cut to Kirby Plaza in the aftermath of the confrontation, as Molly watches Parkman moved to an ambulance.]
Mohinder: [voiceover] We dream of hope,we dream of change,of fire,of love,of death,and then it happens,the dream becomes real. And the answer to the quest,this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself,like the glowing light of the new dawn. So much struggle, for meaning, for purpose, but in the end we find it only in each other. Our shared experiences of the fantastic, and the mundane. The simple, human need to find the kindred, to connect, and to know in our hearts that we are not alone.
Season 2 (Volume 2: Generations)

[Having teleported to their Japanese office, Hiro hands Ando the Kensei sword.]
Hiro: It is not the sword. It is the man.

[Hiro gets a well-timed cellphone call from Isaac.]
Ando: Who is it?
Hiro: Destiny!
Ando: I wish Destiny would lose our number.

[In studio, Isaac lays dying from Sylar's attack.]
Isaac Mendez: I finally get to be a hero...

[Linderman provides the opening monologue, interspersed with dialouge from previous episodes.]
Linderman: People think I collect art. What I really collect are lives fixed in paint. A perfect moment capturing an entire existence, made immortal. A monster's fight to survive, and live to kill again. A mother willing to fracture her own soul to protect her child. Youth's struggle for innocence, despite life's cruelty. The double-edged lies needed to sustain a double-edged life. A wandering hero's pure joy at success, and his darkest hour, when all the world seems lost. All perfect moments, frozen in time. Alone, each tells a single story. Together, they can tell the future.

[Nathan and Hiro are at Isaac's apartment's window.]
Hiro: The bomb, it come from the street, destroys everything, everything turn into dust, poof!
Nathan: Your English is a lot better.
Hiro: I met a waitress in Texas.
Nathan: Hmm?
Hiro: She teach me many things.
Nathan: Good for you.

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers. How is this happening? What are they? Why them and not others? Why now? What does it all mean?

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise? Or when we fall? Or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction? Is it evolution that takes us by the hand? Does science point our way? Or is it God who intervenes, keeping us safe?

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: When a change comes, some species feel the urge to migrate, they call it zugunruhe. "A pull of the soul to a far off place," following a scent in the wind, a star in the sky. The ancient message comes calling the kindred to take flight and gather together. Only then they can hope to survive the cruel season to come.

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. Suddenly the change in your life that should have been wonderful comes as a betrayal. It may seem cruel, but the goal is nothing short of self-preservation, survival.

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: When we embrace what lies within, our potential knows no limit. The future is filled with promise. The present, rife with expectation. But when we deny our instinct, and struggle against our deepest urges... Uncertainty begins. Where does this path lead? When will the changes end? Is this transformation a gift... or a curse? And for those that fear what lies ahead... The most important question of all... Can we really change what we are?

[Opening voiceover.]
Mohinder: Where does it come from? This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here.
