Takezo: (drunkenly)You look like a fish when you talk. Like a giant carp!
Hiro: I already made a mess of the past. The space/time continuum can't take anymore. History needs Takezo Kensei to be a hero today... (Hiro puts on Takezo's armor and rides away on horseback.) Ando's never going to believe this one!

Takezo: (faintly) Sorry, Carp. I'll help you be a hero the next time around.
Hiro: No! You cannot die! (Kensei's wound heals.) Godsend!

Takezo: [after punchng out Hiro] The only thing I have to do, is find me a drink.
[over the phone]

Takezo: I cut myself, and the wound heals. Over and over again.
Hiro: You are a hero, like me. I have power too.
Takezo: You? Really?
Hiro: Yes. I can stop time and move through space. (teleports behind Takezo) Hello!
Takezo: How are such things possible?
Hiro: Some say it's a gift from god. Some people think it's evolution.
Takezo: What is that? Evolution?
Hiro: It means you can heal from any wound.
Takezo: Really? Any wound? Sword? Serpent? Fire? (Hiro nods.) This'll make me richer than the pope!

Takezo: You mustn't fret over everything my very strange little friend! Here, have some sake. Brighten your day.
Hiro: No, forget sake! You're supposed to be a hero!

The Haitian: You work for people?
Mohinder: A company.
The Haitian: Of course, there's always a company.

Victoria: I knew blowing your head off was the only way to be sure. Better late than never.

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.
