Peter Petrelli : It's a good thing I can't die, then.
Nathan Petrelli : What?
Peter Petrelli : Oh, I got that from Claire. She can regenerate.
Nathan Petrelli : No matter what happens?
Peter Petrelli : I think so.
Nathan Petrelli : What about the painting? If you explode, I mean if that happens, you could survive it?
Peter Petrelli : Doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, if I go nuclear, if I blow up New York, you know how many people are gonna die?
Nathan Petrelli : Point O seven per cent.
Peter Petrelli : Talk to her, Nathan. She wants to know her father.
Nathan Petrelli : I can't deal with that right now.
Peter Petrelli : She's not just some girl, she's your daughter. You know that Mom wants to send her to Paris? You can't let her go. Don't you get it? Claire's the girl I saved in Texas, save the cheerleader...
Nathan Petrelli : ...Save the world, I get it.
Peter Petrelli : And she turns out to be your daughter. Your daughter. Look around. Everything I said is happening is happening now. It's real. And maybe if Claire is here, I don't blow up. Maybe she's here to save us. Talk to her, Nathan. We need her.
[Angela Petrelli walks in]
Peter Petrelli : About what just happened, Nathan and I need to talk to you.
Angela Petrelli : It's okay, I know. I knew long before either of you did.
-
Mr. Linderman : Look, I said people needed hope, but they trust fear.
Nathan Petrelli : This is crazy.
Mr. Linderman : This tragedy will be a catalyst for good, for change. Out of the ashes humanity will find a common goal, a united sense of hope - couched in a united sense of fear.
-
Nathan Petrelli : [Nathan sees Hiro in one of Isaac's paintings] I know this man.
Mr. Linderman : Oh, great. If you see him again tell him I want my sword back.
Nathan Petrelli : He said he needed it to save the world. A lot of people seem to be saying that these days.

[Nathan is uncovering a painting of him, Claire knocks on door]
Claire Bennet : Your mom said you wanted to talk to me?
Nathan Petrelli : I did, I do. Come in. Please. This should've happened a long time ago, under better circumstances. It shouldn't take someone nearly dying for the two of us to finally meet.
Claire Bennet : You know, you don't have to this. Pretend to be nice to me.
Nathan Petrelli : I'm not pretending. Claire, most people think the worst of me and I've probably given them a good reason to, but I want to do better. I want to be there for you.
[pauses]
Nathan Petrelli : But I can't. Not now.
Claire Bennet : Of course.
Nathan Petrelli : I'm sorry, but there are things happening right now that I don't expect you to understand. I barely understand them myself. I went into politics for the chance to do something good, to have a chance to help. To be a part of something big. And in order to do that, I have to...
Claire Bennet : The election. Can't have some illegitimate daughter popping up right in front of the cameras.
Nathan Petrelli : I need to win.
Claire Bennet : You need me to leave. Paris with my grandmother.
Nathan Petrelli : She warms up. Sort of. It's just one week.
Claire Bennet : And then what?
Nathan Petrelli : And then you come home to your family. Okay?
[Claire and Nathan hug]

[Claire walks into the room while Nathan and Angela mourn Peter]
Nathan Petrelli : [voice breaking] Claire?
Claire Bennet : I know you don't want me here. I just want to see him. I came all this way.
[short pause]
Angela Petrelli : Let the girl have her moment.
[Nathan and Angela leave the room]
Claire Bennet : [to Peter's seemingly lifeless body] 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 strokes Peter's head, eventually pulling the glass shard out of the back of his head; Peter coughs loudly]
Angela Petrelli : Peter?
-
Peter Petrelli : What do you do with something that killed you?
Nathan Petrelli : Put it under your pillow.
-
Nathan Petrelli : I don't know who I am without you.
Peter Petrelli : Course you do. You're Nathan Petrelli. Top of his class, valedictorian, most-likely-to. You're that guy with me or without me.
Nathan Petrelli : Who's to say I'm not all that because of you? Most of what we are is what people expect us to be. I mean, if you take them away, nothing means anything.
-
Nathan Petrelli : What could you possibly know about healing?
Mr. Linderman : [touches dying plant, then waves hand in front of it slowly as the plant heals] A few things.
-
Mr. Linderman : This isn't just a collection of art. This is a road map. These artists envisioned a brighter future: peace, prosperity...
Nathan Petrelli : That's your idea of a brighter future?
[points at painting of nuclear explosion]
Mr. Linderman : What if I was to tell you that it was?
Nathan Petrelli : I'd say you were a lousy humanitarian.

[Peter is holding the piece of glass Claire pulled out of his head]
Peter Petrelli : What do you do with something that killed you?
Nathan Petrelli : You could put it underneath your pillow.
[pauses]
Nathan Petrelli : I don't know what I would've done.
Peter Petrelli : Don't think about it. I didn't die.
Nathan Petrelli : Yeah, but if you had...
-
Nathan Petrelli : [Nathan sees Hiro in one of Isaac's paintings] I have seen him before.
Daniel Linderman : If you see him again tell him I want my sword back.
