  Episode Quotes  
Claire: Is there something on my face?
Mr. Bennet: Claire, your mother and I need to talk with you about boys.
Claire: Oh, please, not the sex talk again. It was painful enough the first time.
 
(while discussing Molly's nightmares)
Mohinder: So what are we supposed to do?
Matt: I don't know. You're the scientist.
Mohinder: That doesn't exactly make me an expert on nightmares.
Matt: That makes two of us.
 
Nathan: You didn't kill Keito Nakamura. I know that.
Angela: I have done so many bad things in my life it really doesn't matter what crime I confess to.
Nathan: Let me help you.
Angela: No, what you want is redemption and you're not gonna get it by helping me. You'll just get killed and I can't bear to lose another son.
 
West: Then, it's those marks on my neck, right? You think I was abducted by aliens? I told you it was a guy with horn rimmed glasses.
Claire: It's my dad ... he's just really over protective about the dating thing.
West: Then let me talk to him.
Clarie: I don't think that's a good idea.
 
Nathan: You reading my mind right now?
Parkman: No ... yes. Sorry.
 
Nathan: You asked me for help once. Now just let me help you.
Angela: Just because you shaved doesn't mean you're clean and sober.
 
Monica: It's not right. One storm comes rolling through here and blows away my whole life. My mother, my college education, my dreams.
 
West: Claire, these fears you have of someone finding out about you, of feeling different forever, I have them too. You can share them with me but I can't help you if you don't trust me.
Claire: Okay.
(Claire jumps off the Hollywood sign; West catches her)
Claire: You caught me.
West: Of course I did.
Claire: But I would've been fine.
West: I know you can heal, Claire, but I never want to see you hurt.
 
(while locating Parkman's father)
Molly: He is the nightmare man.
 
Claire: Please, let me have this one thing. I've done everything else you've asked me to. I've given up my friends and my life. I just need this one thing that's normal.
Mr. Bennet: I had no idea that cheerleading meant that much to you.
Claire: Took me by surprise too.
