Episode Quotes

Matt Parkman: How am I supposed to do that?
Sylar: Create a mental block, repress them, I don't really care, to be honest. All I know is that once I'm free from the temptation of my ability...
Matt Parkman: M-hm? You're gonna be normal? I'm sorry, that ship sailed, what, fifty murders ago?
Sylar: Maybe you need a little more motivation. You will purge me of these powers, Parkman, or I will use them. I will use them all. And trust me, I can get really creative.
Matt Parkman: [referring to Janice] If you hurt her, I swear to God...
Sylar: That's the problem, isn't it? One cruel thought is all it takes. These powers make it so easy.
Matt Parkman: I understand that, believe me. But you don't have to use them like this.
Sylar: Except I do. The powers are me now. You've been there, dealt with the abilities, the constant temptation. Tell me, how do you compartmentalize? How do you keep them from overwhelming the rest of your life?
Matt Parkman: You start by accepting the fact that... you're more than just your abilities. Come on, we're people first.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: The amount of blood on Lydia's dress changes dramatically from one camera angle to the other, much faster than she could have bled.
