- Peter Petrelli: My brother Nathan taught me a lot. Taught me... how to ride a skateboard when I was a kid... how to hook a marlin. Taught me how to... catch a baseball. Those are all things... usually a father'll teach his son. But Dad wasn't around. So it was Nathan. I wish to hell it would've been my father; because Nathan didn't make it easy. He would throw it high or... he'd throw it wide, and I would yell at him, and tell him to throw it right at me; but he'd say to me, "That's not how it's gonna come at you in a game, Pete." I used to think he was being a big brother and was just pickin' on me. But now I understand. He just wanted me to be ready. For anything.
- [he places his hand on Nathan's casket]
- Peter Petrelli: I'm ready, brother. For whatever comes.
- Claire Bennet: I was just wondering if you... knew why Samuel wanted me here.
- Lydia: Well, lately he's wanted a lot of people here. Half of them want to date my daughter.

- Mohinder Suresh: [voice-over] There are many ways to define our fragile existence, many ways to give it meaning. - But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. The private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets; and we alone choose the importance of each... building our own unique histories, one memory at a time... hoping the ones we choose to remember don't betray or trap us. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light, the good with the evil. - This is what separates us, what makes us human - and in the end, what we must fight to hold on to.
- Claire Bennet: Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
- Samuel Sullivan: Sounds deep.
- Claire Bennet: Sartre. College.
- Samuel Sullivan: [chuckles] I always thought freedom was just another word for 'nothing left to lose'.
- Claire Bennet: That too.
- Hiro Nakamura: Sancho, the swamp dragons have surrounded the castle Arkham, where Dr. Watson is being held; and it's all because of me.
- Ando Masahashi: Hiro, you're not making any sense.
- Hiro Nakamura: Hailing frequencies are open. Sancho, why don't you respond? I have betrayed the rebellion. Sancho Panza - you're our only hope.
- Ando Masahashi: Hiro, I am... at your service. I guess I am the sidekick.
- Hiro Nakamura: The bravest one I know.
- Claire Bennet: [to Eli] Now you know what it feels like.
- [when hiding in the hall of mirrors and thus multiplying her own image]
- [Ian has turned the desert valley into a green meadow]
- Samuel Sullivan: This is why I need a bigger family. To build the future. This could be your home too, Claire.
- Claire Bennet: I have a home. And I'd like to go back to it.
- Samuel Sullivan: Of course. But just remember: you're free, Claire. Whatever happens in your world back home, you can always come back to this one. Whenever you want.
