Heroes

Ando: Every hero is on a journey to find his place in the world, it is a Journey, you don't start at the end, otherwise they can't make a movie about it later.

Ando: You came from the future and told them to save the cheerleader. Oh, and you had a sword. Hiro: I had a sword?

HRG: What about Peter Petrelli? Eden: He claims he can fly but I don't have confirmation. Also, there may have been an encounter with somebody who can stop time. HRG: Really? That's cool. Eden: Evidently he had a message for Petrelli. He told him to save the cheerleader. [long pause] Are you still there?

(Translated from the Japanese) Hiro: I should have saved them. Ando: You'd have been killed. Hiro: I've been given a gift, Ando. I'm supposed to use it to help people. To save people. I failed. Ando: You're being too hard on yourself. Hiro: Maybe I'm not the hero I thought I was. Ando: Hiro, every hero is on a journey to find his place in the world. But it's a journey. You don't start at the end. Otherwise, they can't make a movie about it later. Hiro: What if I'm on the wrong path? What if I was supposed to save those people? Ando: You can bend time and space. Maybe when you can do it better, you can come back here and fix things. Hiro: Like a do-over? Ando: Exactly. Hiro: A do-over. I like that.

Micah: Dad, how'd you get out of jail? D.L.: Between you and me...I walked out. Micah: Out of prison? How'd you do that? D.L.: Ain't no jail can hold your old man. Micah: Why not? D.L.: Cause I got a secret. Micah: Like Superman? D.L.: Yeah. Just like Superman.

Eden: I guess the flying Petrelli didn't fly. Mohinder: We were on the train together, then suddenly he started carrying on about a mysterious traveler who stopped time and told him to save a cheerleader. It was all very fascinating. I should write a paper on the experience. Eden: Maybe you provoked him with sarcasm.

Hiro: I couldn't save them. I just hid in here. A hero doesn't hide... Ando: He does if he wants to live.

(when Claire's birth parents arrive) Zach: You sure you don't want me to shove 'em into something on the way out? Claire: Ha ha.

(Translated from the Japanese) Ando: What if we get to New York and it explodes? Hiro: If we get to New York, it won't explode. That's the idea, it's the heroic journey. Ando: It's your heroic journey. Hiro: It's our heroic journey. You don't have to have superpowers to be a hero.

(about birth parents) Claire: How am I supposed to ask someone if they're a freak when they're probably just gonna lie about it like I do? Zach: Why don't you just ask them what happens when they cut themselves? Or you could cut them and find out. Claire: Uh-huh. Probably just think I was all bitter because they gave me away.

Niki: The police are right outside. If I scream, they will be in here in two seconds. D.L.: Then I hope you don't scream.

Ando: We have to go to bathroom. Ernie: You boys go to the bathroom together? Ando: Yeah, that's how we roll!

Mohinder: (voiceover) Evolution is an imperfect and often violent process. A battle between what exists and what is yet to be born. In the midst of these birth pains, morality loses its meaning. The question of good and evil reduced to one simple choice: survive or perish.

Zach: What if your biological parents raised you, though? It'd be an entirely different scenario. Claire: What if they can do what I can do? What if they're like me? Zach: Well, I hope they're not. No offense, but I like - I like that you're the freak. It makes you more...special or whatever. Claire: Are you flirting with me? Zach: No. Believe me, no. Um, look, do you plan on coming out to your parents? I mean the ones who raised you? Claire: No. My dad would unspool. He's a really simple guy. He'd never be able to wrap his mind around something like that. It would break him. Zach: (sing-song voice) He's gonna find out.

(After Hiro's friend pushes him into the bathroom to get away from the men in the building) Hiro: I don't need to pee!
