Hiro wore a 1980s Knight Rider T-shirt. The show was a NBC Universal TV series.
Samuel: My family is shrinking and our graveyard is getting bigger.
Lydia: Her name is Charlie. Hmm. There's a problem. She's dead. Three years ago.
Samuel: That's not a problem. That's an... opportunity.
Lauren: I mean, I wish I could tell my mom that I missed my nephew's bar mitzvah because I was busy bagging a guy who can shoot fire out of his nose, but I can't.
Noah: So what'd you tell her?
Lauren: PMS.
Noah: I don't think that would work for me.
Hiro: I'm here to save Charlie.
Samuel: And why would you be doing something like that?
Hiro: You told me I could right the wrongs of my life by stepping on the right butterflies. This is the biggest. It's Mothra.
Claire: I mean, do you like it? Do you love it, selling paper?
Noah: Yeah, I like it a lot.
Claire: I just.. I'm sorry, I can't imagine you being in high school, and saying, "When I grow up, I want to sell paper."
Hiro: Yes, I will tell you how you die. You die alone. I'm sorry.
Sylar: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Hiro: It means that you will collect a lot of powers. You will kill many people. You will become strong. The strongest of them all. But in the end, it won't make any difference. We all gather to stop you. You're alone. No one will mourn your death. No one will shed a tear. No one. I wish I could change fate, but you must go on your path.
Samuel: I've got my own butterflies that need crushing.

Title:
Referencing two notorious Sergio Leone movies: Once Upon A Time in the West (1968), with the classical western good-guy/bad-guy showoff, and Once Upon A Time In America (1984), where an old gangster returns to his town to face the regrets of his past.
Hiro: Oh, boy!
This is the famous catchphrase of another well-known time traveler, Sam Beckett, from the 90's TV series Quantum Leap. Sam would say these two words, with differing amounts of emphasis at the end of the teaser for each episode after he realized what body and situation he had leapt into.
Hiro: It's Mothra.
Referencing the giant moth-like Japanese monster first seen in the 1961 movie Mothra. The monster is occasionally seen as a mammoth egg, which hatches into a giant web-shooting larva, and eventually matures into the familiar moth-like form. Originally she could generate gale-force winds and lift other monsters into the air. Later in the 90s, she was given additional powers to fire energy beams from her antenna and generate electricity.
Hiro: The MJ to my Spidey.
Referencing Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man. The couple have an on-again/off-again romantic relationship in the comics. MJ eventually learns Peter's secret identity, they marry, and later become separated through supernatural means. The relationship is a major plotline in the three Spider-Man movies, as well as the animated adaptations.
Past-Hiro: The Marle to my Crono!
Referencing the console role-playing game Chrono Trigger. The protagonists, female and male respectively, are two of the three playable characters from the game setting's 1000 A.D. setting. The Nintendo DS and Playstation games show the couple marrying in a final scene at the end. Crono is killed in the game but, like Charlie here, is saved through the use of time travel.
Noah: "Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace; four happy days bring in another moo:; but, o, methinks, how slow this old moon wanes! She lingers my desires..."
Referencing Theseus' line from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act 1, Scene 1, addressed to his wife-to-be Hippolyta
Noah: "The course of true love never did run smooth."
Referencing Lysander's line from A Midsummer's Night Dream, Act 1, scene 1, lines 132-140. The character is speaking to his lover, Hermia, and comparing love to a river.
