Episode Quotes
Eric Doyle: But if there were agents outside... why aren't they kicking in the door, looking to collect a comes-back-to-life Barbie?
Danko: I want to know everything you know about Nathan Petrelli.
Tracy: He was lousy in bed.
Sylar: I guess not everybody gets old. Not everybody dies.
Samson Gray: Then you just have that much longer to suffer, don't ya?
Mohinder: (closing voiceover) Generations unfold — father to son, mother to daughter. Where one leaves off, the other follows, destined to repeat each other's mistakes, each other's triumphs. For how do we see the world if not through their lens? The same fears, the same desires? Do we see them as an example to follow, or as a warning of what to avoid? Choosing to live as they have, simply because it's what we know, or driven to create one's own identity? And what happens when we find them to be a disappointment? Can we replace them? Our mothers, our fathers? Or will destiny find a way to drive us back? Back to the familiar comforts of home?
