Episode Quotes

Samuel Sullivan: It's okay, brother. You're safe here.
Sylar: Where exactly is 'here'?
Samuel Sullivan: Home.

Dr. Coolidge: I think this whole filing girl act is finally getting to you.
Emma Coolidge: [signing] Do you follow up like this with all your patients?
Dr. Coolidge: Only the ones who happen to be my daughter.

Claire Bennet: This. This is cool.
Gretchen Berg: Drinking chocolate milk?
Claire Bennet: No, me. In college, in a dining hall with my new college roommate; no snipers shooting at me, no serial killers hunting me - it's a refreshing change of pace.
Gretchen Berg: Yeah, tedium can be such a thrill!
Claire Bennet: I have been chasing normal life forever, and I've finally caught it! I mean, don't get me wrong, the chocolate milk *is* awesome. But right here, right now is full of possibilities. I can be anyone.
Rebecca Taylor: [from behind] Claire Bennet, you can't escape your destiny!

Trivia

The children Peter sees in the hospital are singing "Believe It Or Not", the theme from The Greatest American Hero. That show was about a reluctant superhero who wasn't completely in control of his powers -- a common theme with "Heroes".
