Heroes Season 1 Episode 10

Tom McHenry: Dude, you're like a walking cliche.

Sylar: (to Chandra) When I was a kid, I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn't really my family. Oh, they weren't bad people. They were just...insignificant. And I wanted to be different. Special. I wanted to change. A new name, a new life. The watchmaker's son became a watchmaker. It is so... futile. And I wanted to be important.

Mohinder: (voiceover) These people, their future is written on their DNA.
Just as the past, it seems, is written in stone.
Was the die cast from the very beginning?
Or is it in our own hands to alter the course of destiny?
Of all our abilities, free will truly makes us unique.
With it, we have a tiny, but potent, chance to deny fate.
And only with it can we find our way back to being human.

Mohinder: (voiceover) To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose.
The earth spins at 1,000 miles an hour as we desperately try to keep from being thrown off. Like the first blush of winter, that signals a great migration.
Was there any warning of our arrival? A sign, a single event that set this chain into motion? Was it a whisper in God's ear?
Survive. Adapt. Escape.
And if we could mark that single moment in time, that first hint of the prophecy of approaching danger, would we have done anything differently? Could it have been stopped? Or was the die long ago cast? And if we could go back, alter its course, stop it from happening… Would we?

(Micah opens a present to find a laptop computer)
Micah: Wow!
Nikki: That's a very generous gift, Hal.
Hal: Oh, it's amortized over ten birthdays.
D.L.: Well, then, you skimped.
(Hal laughs a little nervously)
Micah: Thanks, Grandpa!
Hal: It's my pleasure, young man, now go break the Internet in half or something.

Gabriel Gray (Sylar): Can I help you?
Chandra Suresh: I hope so Mr. Gray.
Gabriel Gray (Sylar): (Looking at Chandra's watch) I can fix it.
Chandra Suresh: My watch isn't broken.
Gabriel Gray (Sylar): Actually it is.
Chandra Suresh: (Takes off his watch and gives it to Gabriel)
Gabriel Gray (Sylar): (Listens to watch) The self winding coil is loose your watch is running 2 seconds slow.
Chandra Suresh: How did you know?
Gabriel Gray (Sylar): Just a talent I have for the way things work, how the parts should go.

Chandra Suresh: The brain controls every human action; voluntary or involuntary. Every breath, every heartbeat, every emotion. If the soul exists, scientifically speaking... it exists in the brain.

Giving Peter Shoes for his Graduation of Nursing School
Nathan: Lady's 10 and a half.
Peter: Oh, you know the reason I became a nurse was to wear shoes like this, thank you very much.

Sylar: (to Chandra) I'm different now. I feel I've been given a chance to start over. A new life, a new identity. A new purpose.

Sylar: You're broken.
Brian: What?
Sylar: Suresh was right. It's so clear now. Pieces fitting together. It is in the brain.
Brian: So you can help.
Sylar: Don't worry, Brian. I can fix it. It's an evolutionary imperative.

Charlie: Ever since I met you, I don't know, you just make me so happy.
Hiro: You make me happy too.
Charlie: Well, it's more than that. I don't let people get very close. There's a blood clot in my brain, inches away from an aneurysm. I'm dying.
Hiro: But...I'm supposed to save you.

Nathan: Dad's dead. He had a heart attack this morning. We should take comfort in the fact that he didn't know his sons were about to stab him in the back.

Janice: I don't know why you don't just tell them the truth.
Matt: Yeah, I'll just waltz in there and tell them I can barely read, half the words I see backwards. There's a good career move.

Hal: If you're trying to ask me for something, it's already yours. It's a man's god-given right to dote on his grandson.

Charlie: A trip to Japan?
Hiro: I don't care if you don't believe me. Just please tell me you'll go.
Charlie: Only one ticket?
Hiro: (holds up second ticket) Just in case you said yes.

Mr. Bennet: (to Eden) You know, with your ability, you can get anything you want. Created your own morality; there's not a person in the world that could say no to you. Now there is.

Peter: (re: his father) Listen, I did this without his blessing, and without his money. Okay, so I think it's only right that we celebrate without him.

Hiro: Six months? I've got to get back. If I teleport again I could end up anywhere. Lunch for a T-rex! I'm stuck!
Charlie: Birthday cake?
Hiro: Happy birthday.

Jackie: Major development. Laurie Trammel skanked her way through the entire football team.
Claire: Who told you that?
Jackie: The entire football team.

Matt: License and registration.
Eden: Oh, this isn't my car. I kinda stole it.

Chandra: (to Sylar) I came to find you, Gabriel. My name is Chandra Suresh. I'm a geneticist. I have a theory about human evolution, and I believe you are a part of it. (hands him book) Read it, if you'd like to talk more, I've written my phone number and address inside.
