- [closing voice over narration]
- [a heroin-addled Isaac is frantically painting away at a large canvas]
- Mohinder Suresh: You can run far; you can take your small precautions, but have you really gotten away?
- [cuts to Isaac's painting of Hiro and Ando standing below and gazing upward at a blood-drenched homecoming banner]
- Mohinder Suresh: Can you ever escape?
- [dissolves into Clare on the living room floor creating her homecoming banner as her father looks on somberly from his recliner]
- Mohinder Suresh: Or is the truth that you do not have the strength or cunning to hide from destiny? But the world is not small, you are...
- [scene ends up back into the Burnt Toast diner where Ando is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hiro. Camera closes in on a picture that is tacked to a bulletin board among a sea of other photos; it is a picture of Hiro and the waitress smiling over her birthday cake]
- Mohinder Suresh: And fate can find you anywhere.
- Audrey Hanson: You're an idiot, Parkman, you know that?
- Matt Parkman: Wow, good morning to you, too.
- Audrey Hanson: You think I wouldn't find out about you assaulting a fellow officer?
- Matt Parkman: I didn't assault him, I- I just hit him.
- Audrey Hanson: This is why I don't like needing people. Nine times out of ten they let you down.
- Matt Parkman: Wow, that's an optimistic view of the world.
- Audrey Hanson: Just an observation.
- Matt Parkman: And how'd this get to be about you?
- Audrey Hanson: Because it was a stupid rookie move, and you could've jeopardized my investigation. How serious is this? Are you getting suspended?
- Matt Parkman: I'll work it out.
- Audrey Hanson: Did he deserve it?
- Matt Parkman: [nods] Yeah. Yeah, he deserved it.
- [first lines]
- Mohinder Suresh: [voice over] The earth is large. Large enough that you think you can hide from anything. From Fate, From God. If only you found a place far enough away. So you run... To the edge of the Earth, where all is safe again. Quiet and Warm. The Solace of salt air. The peace of danger left behind. The luxury of grief. And maybe, for a moment... , you believe you have escaped.
- Mira Shenoy: It's the sort of cutting-edge science we used to talk about late into the night.
- Mohinder Suresh: [laughs] The world's worst pillow talk, I'd say.
- Matt Parkman: [Audrey hands Matt a Dosimeter] What's this?
- Audrey Hanson: Detects radiation levels.
- [pointing at the Dosimeter window]
- Audrey Hanson: As long as that's dark green we're good.
- Matt Parkman: Oh. Okay. But what's the bad color?
- Audrey Hanson: Not green.
- [to Charlie, who is taking his order at a diner]
- Hiro Nakamura: You choose something delicious for me, and for my friend... he needs food for fato fato!
- Peter Petrelli: Where's the cheerleader?
- Isaac Mendez: I don't know.
- Peter Petrelli: But you painted her.
- Isaac Mendez: You painted her too.
- Hiro Nakamura: You learn very fast.
- Charlie Andrews: Yeah, lately I sorta remember everything I read. It's kind of a skill, I guess.
- Hiro Nakamura: My skill much more complicate.
- Charlie Andrews: [laughing] Oh, yeah. What can you do?
- Hiro Nakamura: [pauses and hesitates for a moment] I can teach Japanese to anyone.
- Claire Bennet: [visits her father at work] Dad!
- Noah Bennet: Claire? Honey, is everything alright?
- Claire Bennet: Yeah, everything's fine. Can't a girl just visit her dad at work?
- Noah Bennet: You never visit me at work.
- Claire Bennet: Okay, I'm busted. I have an emergency. A paper emergency...
- Noah Bennet: A paper emergency!
- Claire Bennet: A paper emergency! Miss Robert says we need a banner over the trophy case and Jackie was all, "We don't have paper that big. They don't make paper that big." So I thought I stop by and try to be a hero.
- Noah Bennet: [exhaled loudly]
- Claire Bennet: [exhaled loudly as well]
- Noah Bennet: [hesitate for a moment] Well, if it'll make you a hero and maybe knock Jackie down, if it not, we might just find something that'll work.
- Claire Bennet: Best dad ever!
- Charlie Andrews: [Charlie is bringing the sheriff and his deputy their breakfast order] Do you need anything else, Sheriff?
- [insistently]
- Charlie Andrews: Lloyd?
- Sheriff: Uh huh. A gun to shoot Will Shortz.
- [Charlie laughs]
- Deputy Lloyd: [to Charlie] Who won Best Actor in 1981?
- Sheriff: She's not Google, Lloyd!
- Charlie Andrews: Henry Fonda. "On Golden Pond".
- Ando Masahashi: No wonder everyone is America is so fat... All there is to eat is waffles and French fries.
- Hiro Nakamura: You like French fries.
- Ando Masahashi: I've gained four kilos from French fries.
- Hiro Nakamura: We need our strength. Soon we'll meet Peter Petrelli and help him save the Cheerleader's life. It is our mission.
- Mohinder Suresh: It's an odd country, America. Everyone there seems so lonely. Including me. Ah, I'm not sure what I accomplished by going there. Only seeing things I wish I never had.
- Mira Shenoy: I've been promoted at the company. Head of all genetic research - can you imagine?
- Mohinder Suresh: Good for you.
- Mira Shenoy: No, good for you.
- Audrey Hanson: [Matt and Audrey are about to interrogate Ted Sprague] You know, three months ago, my job made perfect sense to me. Then I pulled the Sylar case. Crime scenes with no fingerprints. Bodies frozen, brains removed. And now this guy. That's two people- make that three people who can do things I just can't explain.
- Matt Parkman: Wait a second. You think I'm like them?
- Audrey Hanson: I don't know what I think. But if we're gonna find Sylar, I need answers.
- Matt Parkman: [points to head] I have no idea how this happened.
- Audrey Hanson: Well, then, I guess that just leaves Ted here.
- Matt Parkman: I'm hearing things that I should not be hearing.
- Ted Sprague: Like what?
- Matt Parkman: Things that could ruin lives. Things that... could end marriages.
- Eden McCain: Isaac. This is Mr. Bennet, the man I told you about.
- Noah Bennet: Hello, Isaac. Drawing anything interesting?
- Isaac Mendez: It's nothing.
- Noah Bennet: Oh, you know that's not true. You have the ability to paint the future. That's something. Something very important.
- Isaac Mendez: Feels like a curse.
- Noah Bennet: No, it's a blessing. Don't let anybody tell you differently. We're gonna help you understand that.
- Isaac Mendez: I'm grateful you're helping me. I'm just not sure why.
- Noah Bennet: To be one hundred per cent honest with you, I need your help.
- Mrs. Suresh: I know you miss him. And I know you feel guilty, too. Don't.
- Mohinder Suresh: I had a dream last night. You and father were talking before he left. In it, you persuaded him to go.
- Mrs. Suresh: It's just a dream, Mohinder.
- Mohinder Suresh: No; I need to know if it was true.
- Mrs. Suresh: Your father and I were married for thirty three years.
- Mohinder Suresh: That is not an answer.
- Mrs. Suresh: Yes it is; a marriage doesn't last that long without allowing the other person to be who he has to be.
- Mohinder Suresh: [to his Mom] In the dream you said that I could never take the place of her. Who did you mean?
- Mrs. Suresh: I think its time you knew now that your father's gone. Mohinder, You had a sister.
- Mohinder Suresh: A sister?
- Mrs. Suresh: Her name was Shanthi. She was five years old when she died, two years after you were born.
- Noah Bennet: This girl. The one you've painted here... and here... and there. She's my daughter. My Claire. This man here, he goes by the name of Sylar. He's going to kill her tomorrow night at her homecoming game.
- Noah Bennet: I need your help. I need you to paint this painting.
- Isaac Mendez: I'm sorry. I've been trying, but I can't. Not without drugs.
- Noah Bennet: [to Isaac] Fourteen years ago there was just such a case, which sadly ended in a death. A woman left behind a baby girl who had no one to take care of her.
- Noah Bennet: We tried his way. Now we do it mine.
- Eden McCain: He worked so hard to get clean. You can't ask him to do this.
- Noah Bennet: I am not going to ask him.
- [looks at Eden]
- Noah Bennet: You are...
- Eden McCain: No. No, you can't make me do that.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] If I'm too scared to use my powers, then I don't deserve them. I have to try.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] Just count to five and I'll be back. We'll celebrate my victory.
- Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] Hiro... please? Three, four, five. Hiro?
- Janice Parkman: You punched a superior officer. That has to have some kind of repercussions.
- Matt Parkman: He may outrank me, but superior is taking it a little too far.
- Chandra Suresh: The world needs to know my findings. That's all that's important.
- Mohinder Suresh: It is one thing to publish a book in the comfort of a university, it is another to leave everything behind. Chasing a theory that is pure fantasy.
- Charlie Andrews: [in Japanese]
- [to Hiro]
- Charlie Andrews: You're sweet.
- Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] I'm sweet.
- Mohinder's Computer: Are you sure you want to quit?
