[Peter and Nathan are walking out of the police station. Peter tries to discuss others' powers with Nathan.]
Peter: ... I-I think he was trying to read my mind. They were all like us!
Nathan: Dysfunctional?

[Peter encounters Mohinder, who is driving a cab.]
Mohinder: Some individuals, it is true, are more special. This is natural selection. It begins as a single individual born or hatched like every other member of their species. Anonymous. Seemingly ordinary. Except they're not. They carry inside them the genetic code that will take their species to the next evolutionary rung. It's destiny.

[Peter examines the glass shard taken from his head.]
Peter: What do you do with something that killed you?
Nathan: You could put it underneath your pillow.

[Peter has a gun levelled at Arthur, and The Haitian is struggling to hold his power back while he waits for Peter to kill him.]
Arthur: That's your problem son. Too much thinking not enough action. How could you be my son-
[Arthur uses telekinesis to slash a cut in Peter's cheek; Peter fires; the bullet is left hovering in mid-air. They all turn to see Sylar enter the room.]
Claire: I cant believe you didnt tell me! Angela: Sorry Claire I've always found it easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission

[Sylar confronts Brian Davis.]
Sylar: You're broken. I can fix you.

[Translated from Japanese.]
Ando: Fine. I'll humor you. Let's say you really do have this power. What do you do with it? Join the circus? No one ever got laid by stopping the second hand of a clock.
Hiro: As I develop my powers, I'll learn to bend space, too. Then I can teleport myself anywhere on the planet.
Ando: Like Star Trek.
Hiro: Every hero must learn his purpose. Then he'll be tested and called to greatness.
Ando: I think I need a stiff drink! "Beam us up, Scotty".

[Translated from Japanese.]
Ando: Tell me one useful thing you could do with this power. Can you make money?
Hiro: A super hero doesn't use his power for personal gain.
Ando: Then what good is it? Can you teleport yourself into the women's bathroom? Now, there's something useful. You won't learn your "purpose" in there, but you might learn something about life.

[Translated from Japanese.]
Hiro: (cheerfully) I did it! I teleported in to the women's bathroom!
Ando: Then you're a pervert!

[Translated from Japanese.]
Hiro: I have discovered powers beyond any mere mortal.
Ando: Right. You and Spock.
Hiro: Yes. Like Spock. Exactly.
[Hiro's boss suddenly grabs him by the neck and drags him back to his desk.]
Ando: Use your death grip, Spock! The death grip!

[Translated from Japanese.]
Hiro: My clock. I made it go back one second using only my mind, my thoughts.
Ando: Too bad you're not paid by the hour.

[We later see Sylar enter an elevator. He is covered in blood; his arms, his shirt are both soaked. The office worker looks at him with bulging eyes, and Sylar turns to him.]
Sylar: Something wrong?
Worker: ...No. No. Not at all. [He shifts away slowly. Sylar nods.]
Sylar: Huh. It does kind of tingle.

[Daphne suddenly moves even after Hiro freezes time]
Daphne: How are you doing this? Are you a speedster too?
Hiro: Speedster? No, I'm Hiro Nakamura. I stop time.
Daphne: I got news. You don't stop it completely, or we're not having this conversation.
Hiro: So you move fast?
Daphne: Not fast. I move really fast.
Hiro: Well, you stole something from me.
Daphne: You mean this? [shows stolen formula]
Hiro: Give it--
Daphne: This whole time-stopping thing, how does it work exactly? I mean, if you chase me to Bangkok, will time stay frozen here in Tokyo?
Hiro: I don't know.
Daphne: Well...Something to think about when you get back on your feet.
Hiro: But I am on my feet.
Daphne: [Daphne punches Hiro, unfreezing time] Gotta go.

[Meredith is using her power to use up all the oxygen in the metal box that she and Claire are in]
Claire: What's this supposed to prove? I've walked through fire before and I haven't gotten burned.
Meredith: You've never been burned?
Claire: I'm indestructible. I can't feel pain.
Meredith: You ever suffocate? 'Cause I would imagine the air is getting pretty thin in here.
Claire: Why are you doing this?
Meredith: Why do you wanna stop bad guys?
Claire: I told you. To help people.
Meredith: That's what you keep saying. But I don't believe you. Do you know what waterboarding is, Claire?
Claire: No.
Meredith: It's a method of torture. You're not drowning but your body tells your mind that you are. You think you're gonna die. Trapped, you panic. Trapped. Does that remind you of anything?
Claire: Stop it! Turn it off!
Meredith: Is this how it was with Sylar, huh? You're indestructible but you couldn't get away, right? Well, that must have made you feel trapped. Helpless.
Claire: Please stop! I can't--
Meredith: Why do you wanna stop bad guys?
Claire: To help people!
Meredith: I don't believe you. You tell me why!
Claire: To hurt him, okay! To hurt him for what he did! Like he hurt me!
