• [last lines] 

  Nathan Petrelli : [has just flown up and caught his brother in mid-air]  Peter!

  Peter Petrelli : [shocked]  You're flying Nathan! You're flying! How did you...

  Nathan Petrelli : I don't know.

  [Peter slips from his grasp and falls] 

  Nathan Petrelli : No! No!

• Peter Petrelli : I've been up here all night. Thinking about this. Thinking about my destiny.

  Nathan Petrelli : What you doing, Pete?

  Peter Petrelli : It's my turn to be somebody now, Nathan!

• Peter Petrelli : It happened two more times. Look, sometimes I'm falling, sometimes I'm flying - sometimes you're in them!

  Nathan Petrelli : I don't have time for this now.

  Peter Petrelli : They're not just dreams, Nathan.

  Nathan Petrelli : Hold this.

  Peter Petrelli : I thought they'd go away, but they're not!

  Nathan Petrelli : Jim, I need this back by six, please. Thanks.

  Peter Petrelli : This morning, when I got out of bed, my foot hovered before it hit the ground - hovered!

  Nathan Petrelli : [to assistant]  Let me see the list.

  Peter Petrelli : For a split second, like I was - like I was floating! I'm telling you, I-I think I can fly!

  Nathan Petrelli : [hands clipboard to assistant]  These all undecideds?

  [to Peter] 

  Nathan Petrelli : Tell you what, you think you can fly? Why don't you jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, see what happens.

  Peter Petrelli : Maybe, I ought to start with something a little lower, first, just like learning to walk.

  Nathan Petrelli : You're serious?

  Peter Petrelli : Oh, I'm serious.

  Nathan Petrelli : You need to snap out of it, Peter. See a doctor, get some drugs, but do not pull a Roger Clinton on me, man. I'm eight points down in the polls!

• Peter Petrelli : Wow.

  Mohinder Suresh : Solar eclipse.

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if it's gonna be total.

  Mohinder Suresh : Not here, no. In some other part of the world, yes. A global event. Makes one appreciate just how small our planet really is. And we're all quite small really, aren't we?

  Peter Petrelli : What's your name?

  Mohinder Suresh : Mohinder.

  Peter Petrelli : I'm Peter. Let me ask you something, Mohinder. Do you ever... get the feeling like you were meant to do something extraordinary?

  Mohinder Suresh : I'm driving a cab you may have noticed

  Peter Petrelli : No, I'm not talking about what you do. I'm talking about who you are. I'm talking about... being special.

  Mohinder Suresh : Yes, we are all special.

  Peter Petrelli : That's not what I meant.

  Mohinder Suresh : 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 Petrelli : You didn't hear anything that I said earlier today, did you?

  Nathan Petrelli : About that bit how you can fly. Yeah I did. I'm gonna pretend for both our sakes you didn't say anything like that.

• Angela Petrelli : You, in the meantime, for all your selflessness, and sitting with dying people... What? You gonna retire on what you make?

  Peter Petrelli : Maybe I'll shoplift my socks.

• Simone Deveraux : You know, I don't know what he'd do without you - you've got a real gift.

  Peter Petrelli : I just do my job.

  Simone Deveraux : No, you're like a son to him.

  Peter Petrelli : Yeah, but that would make us like brother and sister. Might be - might be a little awkward if I ever wanted to ask you out.

  [chuckling] 

  Peter Petrelli : I'm sorry. That was, uh, that was inappropriate.

  Simone Deveraux : No, it-it's sweet. It's... I'm dating somebody.
