Episode Quotes

Ando Masahashi: Hiro, I am... at your service. I guess I am the sidekick.
Hiro Nakamura: The bravest one I know.
Samuel Sullivan: Just you wait, brother. Just you wait.
Mohinder Suresh: [voice-over] There are many ways to define our fragile existence, many ways to give it meaning. - But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. The private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets; and we alone choose the importance of each... building our own unique histories, one memory at a time... hoping the ones we choose to remember don't betray or trap us. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light, the good with the evil. - This is what separates us, what makes us human - and in the end, what we must fight to hold on to.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): In a military funeral the 21 gun salute is done before the flag is folded and presented to the bereaved, because the bullet casings are folded into the flag.
  • Goof (factual errors): The missing man airplane formation was done incorrectly. The "missing" airplane should pull out of the formation before the flyover.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The flag presented to Angela at Nathan's funeral is improperly folded. No red should be visible.
  • Goof (miscellaneous): When Ando is summoned to pick up Hiro from the police station the subtitles for the officer's translation reads "If not, we wouldn't not have known to call you."

Trivia

  • In the black-and-white scene in which the young Samuel is trying to move rocks, the music is "Karn Evil 9" (First Impression, Part II), from the album 'Brain Salad Surgery' (1973) by Emerson Lake and Palmer. The title "Karn Evil" is a play on the word "carnival" - prescient, since Samuel later becomes the leader of a traveling carnival.
  • When Hiro appears in the marketplace, he seems confused and disoriented, speaking in a pastiche of references to heroic fiction: Star Trek: The Original Series (Starship Enterprise); Don Quixote (Sancho Panza, Dulcinea); Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope ("A Jedi's work", light saber, C-3PO); Highlander ("There can be only one"); Battlestar Galactica ("Citizens of Caprica", Cylon); and Le Morte d'Arthur (Lancelot).
