- Claire Bennet: You're gonna slice my head open again?
- Sylar: I've evolved way beyond that. My friend Lydia gave me a much more precise instrument. She could read someone, just by touching them - see into the very depths of their soul. Of course, her methods were a little hyper-erotic but... Oh, what the hell. It is college, isn't it?
- Sylar: I don't wanna be alone. And somehow, you're supposed to help me.
- Claire Bennet: I wouldn't help you if my life depended on it.
- Sylar: It's not your life you should be concerned about.
- [Sylar is listing several commonalities between himself and Claire]
- Claire Bennet: I get it. Okay, we have a few arbitrary things in common. What is your point?
- Sylar: My point is, they're not arbitrary. They're formative. The basic building blocks of our lives; and we have the same blocks. Yet here we are - content college co-ed... and me. How did we end up so different?
- Claire Bennet: You want to know what the difference is? You're a psychopath! Mystery solved.
- Gretchen Berg: So, Sylar, huh? *The* Sylar?
- Claire Bennet: Yes. Well, no. Kind of the EMO-apologist version. He's had me trying to figure out what his issues are.
- Gretchen Berg: Seriously? How'd that go?
- Claire Bennet: Pencil in the eye.
- Kaito Nakamura: [in the role of the judge] What is the case before us?
- Adam Monroe: The world versus Hiro Nakamura, your honor.
- Hiro Nakamura: The what versus what?
- Hiro Nakamura: I found myself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong.
- Adam Monroe: Objection, your honor. He's reciting the opening to "Quantum Leap".
- Ando Masahashi: The defense calls Hiro Nakamura to the stand.
- Hiro Nakamura: [aghast] Have you seen "Law & Order"? That always backfires.
- [defendant Hiro in the witness stand]
- Ando Masahashi: Mr. Nakamura, how long have you known the defendant?
- Hiro Nakamura: Seriously? All my life.
- Claire Bennet: I wanna hold your hand.
- [she clasps her hand with Gretchen's]
- Gretchen Berg: People are gonna start to talk.
- Claire Bennet: Let 'em talk. Talking's good. In fact, I could use some talking if you still have a sympathetic ear.
- Gretchen Berg: I, in fact, have two ears.
- Hiro Nakamura: If this is the end, then I want to go out with honor, doing the right thing. I want to go out a hero.
- Kaito Nakamura: Go, my son. Fight for your honor.
- Hiro Nakamura: The tumor - I thought I could fight it, that I could beat science. But I can't. Mother - I'm ready to go.
- Ishi Nakamura: No, Hiro. Some things are more powerful than science. Like destiny.
- Samuel Sullivan: Now I'm done trying to change myself for you. Trying to fit into your world. To play by your rules. From now on... you're all gonna play it by mine!
