Quotes 

• Claire Bennet : [thinking]  I can run. Get some help. They can't hurt me.

  Matt Parkman : I know you're thinking about being a hero. Don't. Don't! This guy is serious and he is really and he's really dangerous and I need your help to make sure that nobody gets hurt.

  Claire Bennet : You can read my mind.

  Matt Parkman : Yeah. Yeah, that's something your dad did to me.

  Claire Bennet : It didn't just happen?

  Matt Parkman : I wouldn't be here right now if it just happened.

  Claire Bennet : Has my dad done this to other people?

  Matt Parkman : Yeah, as far as I can tell. It's different with everyone. I've seen some weird things. I'm sure you have, too. Like that stuff at your school.

  Claire Bennet : [thinking]  Peter Petrelli.

  Matt Parkman : Peter Petrelli? He can do what I can do. What do you know about him?

  Claire Bennet : [thinking]  He can do what I can do.

  [aloud] 

  Claire Bennet : He's different... like you.

  Matt Parkman : Save the cheerleader. I read his mind, he read mine. He told me to protect you... from someone who was killing people like me. Are you different, Claire? Your blood was all over that crime scene. And you didn't have a scratch on you. Why didn't you have a scratch on you?

  Claire Bennet : [thinking]  I can heal.

  [aloud] 

  Claire Bennet : Did my dad make me this way?

• Sandra Bennet : [to Claire]  I always thought you were a miracle. I didn't know how much of one till now.

  Claire Bennet : I'm not a miracle, Mom.

  Sandra Bennet : You were dead. Anytime someone rises from the dead...

  [short pause] 

  Sandra Bennet : I'd say that's a miracle.

  Claire Bennet : I don't know what I am. I don't know if God made me this way or someone else.

  Ted Sprague : God didn't make us this way.

  Sandra Bennet : [to Ted]  God makes us all the way we are.

  [sighs; to Claire] 

  Sandra Bennet : "I walked through fire and didn't get burned." You were trying to tell me.

  Claire Bennet : I was... trying not to tell you.

• [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.

• Claire Bennet : Shoot me! I can't die!

• Claire Bennet : [to her Dad, as Matt reads her mind]  This is your fault.

  Matt Parkman : [after listening to Claire's thoughts]  She knows it's his fault. He's got them all fooled, except for her.

  Ted Sprague : [to Mr. Bennet]  Just when you thought plausible deniability was gonna save your ass.

• Claire Bennet : [to Matt]  He isn't a paper salesman.

  Ted Sprague : Guess she isn't Daddy's little girl anymore.

• 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!

• Ted Sprague : [to Claire]  I'm curious about something. Did Parkman know when he shot you that you wouldn't die? Did your dad tell him that?

  Claire Bennet : I don't know.

  Ted Sprague : [about Matt and HRG]  That explains why they were so chummy when they came down the stairs. What do you suppose they're up to?

• Noah Bennet : I wanted to protect you.

  Claire Bennet : You did, Dad.

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

• [deleted scene] 

  Matt Parkman : You ever see that old Twilight Zone episode where the guy flipped a coin and suddenly he could here thoughts?

  Claire Bennet : What's The Twilight Zone?

  Matt Parkman : Anyway, the guy's hearing thoughts and it drives him nuts, so he makes it stop, and what sucks for... What sucks for me is that I can't make it stop. And it gives me headaches, bad ones, and I'm popping pain pills like Flintstone chewable. There still are Flintstone chewables, right?

  Claire Bennet : Yes.

• 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?

• 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.
