Linderman: (opening monologue) People think I collect art. What I really collect are lives fixed in paint. A perfect moment capturing an entire existence, made immortal. A monster’s fight to survive, and live to kill again. A mother willing to fracture her own soul to protect her child. Youth’s struggle for innocence, despite life’s cruelty. The double-edged lies needed to sustain a double-edged life. A wandering hero’s pure joy at success, and his darkest hour, when all the world seems lost. All perfect moments, frozen in time. Alone, each tells a single story. Together, they can tell the future.

Nathan: That’s your idea of a brighter future? (points to the painting of nuclear explosion)
Linderman: What if I was to tell you that it was?
Nathan: I’d say you were a lousy humanitarian.

Linderman: There's six and a half billion people on this planet; that's less than .07%. Come on, that's an acceptable loss by anyone's account.

Linderman: The request was a courtesy, dear.
Jessica: Send anyone you want. You're not touching my son.

Claire: (to Peter who is lifeless) I didn't even get to know you. You're the only one who ever made me feel safe. I thought you were like me.
(Claire puts her hand on Peter's head; feeling the shard of glass, she pulls it out and Peter coughs then comes back to life)

Peter: You saved my life!
Claire: Guess we're even.

(while looking at the piece of glass removed from his head)
Peter: What do you do with something that killed you?
Nathan: You could put it underneath your pillow.

Linderman: That's all right, gentlemen. I want to greet this young man, myself. It's a great pleasure to meet you, Micah.
Micah: Thank you.
Linderman: How would you like to save the world today?

Peter: Maybe if Claire is here, I don't blow up. Maybe she's here to save us.

Isaac: I finally get to be a hero.

Hiro: Oh no, it's the future.
Ando: What happened?
Hiro: The bomb. We didn't stop it. I failed. So many people must have died.
Ando: Hiro. You have your sword now. You have your power. You can teleport us back so we can fix this. And get us out of here. I don't like the future.
Hiro: No. If this happened then we must have done something wrong. We must find out what mistakes we made. Then we can go back and stop it. Mr. Isaac. He will know what to do.
Ando: You said Mr. Isaac was dead when the bomb went off. Because of the brain man.
Hiro: You're forgetting. In the past, the brain man got caught, remember? Mr. Isaac could still be alive. Come on!
Ando: I'm confused.

Future Hiro: You.
Hiro: Me?

When Sylar is done impaling Isaac and steps over him to leave, the paint brushes are no longer in his feet.

When Isaac is impaled by the brushes on the floor of his apartment, he is in the same position as Vitruvian Man in the famous sketch by by Leonardo da Vinci.

Thompson: I just got through with this Graham Greene I was reading.

Henry Graham Greene is an English playwright and novelist whose works often include characters facing moral dilemmas.

The cafe that Bennet, Matt and Ted are at is the same cafe that Hiro and Ando stopped at in "Seven Minutes to Midnight".
