Episode Quotes
 
Thompson: (to Bennet) Uh huh. So Sprague and Parkman taking your family hostage, shooting your daughter, a bullet clean through your side. You’d think something there might have made an impression.
 
Nathan: Just stay with me.
Peter: I can't. I can't. As long as I'm alive, everyone around me is in danger.
 
Sylar: You have no idea how alone I used to feel—how insignificant. You've given me hope.
Mohinder: Hope is great. We need caffeine.
 
Nathan: Where’s your friend?
Hiro: Ando? I sent him back to Japan. This mission getting too dangerous for him.
Nathan: I know what you mean. You can’t protect everyone. Sometimes it’s better to go it alone. The more people you try to help…
Hiro: The more people get hurt.
 
Nathan: When I first meet you, I thought you were nuts.
Hiro: It's okay, I thought you were mean. But now I know, you pretend that you don’t care about anyone, but you care too much.
 
The Haitian: (to Claire) I do not make you happy, only safe.
 
Isaac: How am I supposed to pretend this didn’t happen?
Candice: Maybe you should have thought about that before you shot her. Twice.
 
Jessica: (to the FBI agents) Mr. Linderman sends his regards, and a suggestion: Don’t run surveillance on a man from inside his own hotel. It’s really tacky.
 
Sylar: (to Mohinder) Give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in!
 
Sylar: I'm a natural progression of the species. Evolution is a part of nature and nature kills. Simple, right?
Mohinder: What you've done isn't evolution, it's murder. What I am doing -- is revenge
 
Mr. Linderman: Voilà! A pot pie. Wholesome, warm, healthy. That's, of course if you can live without the cream sauce. Personally, I can't. I mean, what's the point? You know, people can sleep, or they can gamble, or they can even make love when they're miserable. But I think that most people eat when they're happy. I like to see people happy. Are you happy, Nathan?
Nathan: Not especially. I guess I have a few issues that plague me.
Mr. Linderman: Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. You see I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself, whether he wants a life of happiness, or a life of meaning.
Nathan: I'd like to have both.
Edit
Mr. Linderman: Can't be done. Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present, no thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life with meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future.
 
(Nathan draws a gun)
Mr. Linderman: 
Now you can't have any of my pot pie.
 
Sylar: (to Peter) I remember you. You're like me aren't you? I'd like to see how that works. (begins cutting his head open)
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Jessica and Micah play Heavenly Sword on the Playstation 3. However, this episode takes place before the Playstation 3 was released and Heavenly Sword was released in mid 2007, well after this episode takes place.
 
When Bennet touches his gunshot wound, he holds his right side. However, he was shot in the left side in "Company Man".
 
 
Cultural References
 
When Hiro Nakamura recovers the Kensi Sword from Mr. Linderman's collection he searches the database to find the Sword, which is indexed as catalog number "CRM-114."

CRM-114 was used in the movie Dr. Strangelove as the designation for the message encryption device on the B52 strike aircraft. Also, in A Clockwork Orange, serum 114 is used in brainwashing.
 
 
Episode References
 
The aerial view of Las Vegas used in this episode was also used in "Collision".
 
The scene where Isaac returns from his trance was used before in "Unexpected".
