Quotes 

• Matt Parkman : Good morning. How did you sleep?

  Molly Walker : On my pillow.

• [Parkman argues with Detective Fuller about still digging in the closed Nakamura case] 

  Detective Bryan Fuller : Let it go. You got real work to do.

  Matt Parkman : This is real work! And it's important - lives could be at stake...

  Detective Bryan Fuller : Your job could be at stake if you keep this up, Parkman. Now, I need you back on the planet Earth, you got me?

  [an idea occurs to Parkman] 

  Matt Parkman : No!

  Detective Bryan Fuller : Excuse me, detective?

  Matt Parkman : [telepathically]  Give me 24 hours; let me talk to Angela Petrelli again.

  Detective Bryan Fuller : Tell you what - You got 24 hours. Talk to Angela Petrelli again.

  Matt Parkman : Thank you. Great idea!

• Matt Parkman : I'm trying to get some information on the Kaito Nakamura case.

  Detective Bryan Fuller : The Kaito Nakamura case is closed. Angela Petrelli confessed, partner.

  Matt Parkman : Yeah, but she didn't do it. There's something bigger going on here. I don't know what it is, but these guys are involved in some kind of... uh... organization, like from back in the '70s.

  Detective Bryan Fuller : Like a disco?

• Angela Petrelli : Are you going to try to read my mind again? I knew your father when he could do it. I'm even less impressed with you.

  Matt Parkman : Those marks that you have all over you, my father made you do that to yourself, didn't he? Did you know him when his mind reading became something more? When pull became push, and then he realized he could put a thought into anyone's head?

  Angela Petrelli : Don't do this.

  Matt Parkman : [Telepathically]  You are gonna answer every question I have truthfully.

  [Out loud] 

  Matt Parkman : For once.

• Angela Petrelli : All I know is that he wants revenge for locking him up, and he's not gonna rest until all of us are dead.

  Matt Parkman : All of you are, except for you, Bob, my dad, and this woman in the photo.

  [Points] 

  Matt Parkman : Who is this woman?

  Angela Petrelli : Please... Don't do this.

  Matt Parkman : I need you to tell me the truth.

  Angela Petrelli : The truth... the truth... is that our generation mortgaged our souls to protect yours. Show a little respect for that. Get over your daddy issues and leave us be!
