Quotes 

• Sandra Bennet : [as part of Bennet's ruse, Matt has just shot Claire] 

  [terrified] 

  Sandra Bennet : No, no, no, no, no, no. Claire!

  [to Matt] 

  Sandra Bennet : What did you do?

  Ted Sprague : [to Matt]  What did you do that for?

  Mr. Bennet : [about Ted, in thought speak]  To gain his trust.

  Matt Parkman : Now he knows how far we'll go.

• Noah Bennet : [14 years ago]  I think my wife suspects something. She went through my bag. She found my gun and my sedation kit.

  Thompson : That's a particular kind of stupid on your part, letting her find them.

  Noah Bennet : I know, I know. The baby's been keeping me up for days, it was sloppy. I think Sandra thinks I'm some kind of a serial killer.

  Thompson : She's better off thinking you're a serial killer than knowing the truth.

• Noah Bennet : There's no cure. We can't change the way you are. The only choice was to kill you.

  Ted Sprague : I wish you had.

  Noah Bennet : It was my call. You had a life. Who was I to take it from you?

  Ted Sprague : Because you let me go, my wife is dead.

• [last lines] 

  Noah Bennet : This is goodbye.

  Claire Bennet : You don't have to do this. There's got to be another way.

  The Haitian : This is the best way. There can't be any doubt cast in your Father.

  Noah Bennet : Right here. Two inches higher and I'm dead. Claire, turn around. Cover your ears.

  [the Hatian shoots Mr. Bennet] 

  Claire Bennet : Dad. I love you, Dad!

  Noah Bennet : Go deep. Destroy anything that would lead them to her!

  Claire Bennet : [crying]  Dad?

  Noah Bennet : I love you, Claire Bear.

• Claire Bennet : [3 years ago]  Try these on.

  [Pushes horned-rimmed glasses toward him] 

  Noah Bennet : [tries them on]  How do I look?

  Claire Bennet : Like my Dad.

• Noah Bennet : [Bennet is about to kill Claude for betraying the company]  You used to believe in what we do.

  Claude : I used to believe in the Tooth Fairy!

• Noah Bennet : [to Thompson]  People are fragile. Like tea cups. All around them the world is changing but they simply don't want to deal with it. They don't want to know what is happening to us as a species.

• Kaito Nakamura : [14 years ago: about Claire]  Don't get too close. You're only her surrogate father. She belongs to us. If she manifests, we'll take her.

  Noah Bennet : Of course.

• Noah Bennet : You can hate me all you want but right now this has to be contained, which means you have to stay put!

  Claire Bennet : What, you want me to play dead? I'm sorry, I'm not Mr. Muggles!

• Noah Bennet : I don't want anyone else dying because of what I did to you.

  Ted Sprague : Do all the words that come out of your mouth sound like lies?

• Noah Bennet : Guess who found out you can talk? Who've you been talking to? Who else knows about Claire?

  The Haitian : Just her and I. But that will change.

  Noah Bennet : She wasn't supposed to remember any of this. I gave you specific instructions.

  The Haitian : I answer to someone whose instructions supersede yours.

  Noah Bennet : In this company?

  The Haitian : In your daughter's life.

• Noah Bennet : Has he been located?

  Thompson : The Haitian? Nah, he must have figured you'd turn him in. How long was he hiding Claire? In plain sight too. You must feel like a fool.

  Noah Bennet : I take it it's been months. She trusted him over her own Father.

  Thompson : Surrogate father.

• Thompson : Just one more thing. When should we be expecting Claire?

  Noah Bennet : I'll bring her in now.

• Noah Bennet : I wanted to protect you.

  Claire Bennet : You did, Dad.

  Noah Bennet : I tried to be the best Dad. I couldn't.

• Noah Bennet : [to Claire]  You didn't grow inside your Mother. You grew inside our hearts. Claire, talk to me.

• Noah Bennet : I know who I work for.

  Claude : So do I. I was in the office when they told you to kill me.

  Noah Bennet : Then why'd you get in the car?

  Claude : Evidently I think you're a better man than they do.

• Noah Bennet : [to Claire]  Just do what I say so nobody gets hurt.

  [to Matt] 

  Noah Bennet : And you.

  Matt Parkman : Yeah ?

  Noah Bennet : Do what I think.

• Noah Bennet : Lyle, help your Mother. Claire, talk to me.

  Claire Bennet : What's the point? Am I even going to remember this conversation?

  Noah Bennet : [seeing Ted]  Keep your voice down.

  [to Lyle] 

  Noah Bennet : Lyle, take your Mother. Get out of the house, right now.

  Matt Parkman : I'm sure you have a lot of questions. We all do.

  Sandra Bennet : Honey, what's happening?

  Claire Bennet : Yeah, Dad. What's happening?

• Noah Bennet : What do you want from me? You come into my house with guns?

  Ted Sprague : Not guns, gun. I don't need a gun. Do I, Mr. Bennet? Not after what you did to me.

  Noah Bennet : I don't know you.

  Ted Sprague : If you insist on lying, you're gonna upset me. You know what happens when I get upset?

  [looking at Claire] 

  Ted Sprague : I get very bright and very hot.

  Matt Parkman : No, no, no, no. Ted is going to do us all a favor, right Ted? And he's not gonna get upset.

  [pointing at Mr. Bennet] 

  Matt Parkman : But you gotta help.

  Noah Bennet : I'm not who you think I am. I'm just a paper salesman.

  Ted Sprague : No, no. You're not.

  [flashback to fifteen years ago] 

  Thompson : So tell me, how do you feel about paper?

  Noah Bennet : Mildly enthusiastic.

• Thompson : He's already here.

  Noah Bennet : Is this a test?

  [Claude Raines appears on edge of desk] 

  Noah Bennet : Holy shoot! How did you...? How did...? How is...? How is that...?

  Claude : It's a brave new world, friend.

• Matt Parkman : [to Ted]  Do you want revenge, or do you want the truth? You can't have both.

  Ted Sprague : I want the truth.

  Matt Parkman : Then let them go.

  Noah Bennet : Get them out of here.

• Thompson : [Mr. Bennet and Thompson view Ted, who is locked up in a containment cell similar to Sylar's] 

  [about Ted] 

  Thompson : Now that we have him, we'll keep Sprague sedated... find out what gives him his "spark."

  Noah Bennet : And then?

  Thompson : What do you think?

• Claire Bennet : [flashback to 3 years ago, when Claire is helping Mr. Bennet pick his first pair of glasses]  Let's see.

  [Mr. Bennet tries on a pair of glasses] 

  Claire Bennet : Those are grandpa glasses.

  Noah Bennet : Ouch... Ouch.

  [takes them off and picks up another pair] 

  Noah Bennet : You know I am the same age my Father was when he needed glasses. Alright, how about these? Huh?

  [he puts them on; Claire laughs] 

  Noah Bennet : What?

  Claire Bennet : [laughing]  Grandma glasses.
