- Nathan Petrelli: I'd shave my wrists - handcuffs chafe.
- Nathan Petrelli: [about Linderman] I'm gonna hurt that man. And when I do, if you're standing next to him, you're gonna get hurt too. It's time to choose a side, dad - your client or your family!
- Arthur Petrelli: Read your Shakespeare. When the son challenges the father, only one is left standing. I should have one last talk with him, I owe him that.

- Sylar: I have a kind of problem. I guess you could say I'm like an addict. I have this overwhelming hunger to... Um, I covet... the powers of others.

- Angela Petrelli: So what do you think, Arthur? Do you still know me? Can you tell anything about me just by looking in my eyes?
- Arthur Petrelli: You're my wife, Angela. I know you like I know my own heart.
