- Nathan Petrelli: It's all happening so fast. My life is a speeding train, and I'm not sure where it's headed. But one thing is certain - I've been given a second chance. Touched by God, I've got to believe that He has a purpose for my life. So why am I filled with self-doubt? Plagued by demons, real - and imaginary? Frightened by the challenges ahead and haunted by the ghosts of my past. Does God know what I am? Do I? Am I an angel or a monster? A hero or a villain? And why can't I see the difference?
- [repeated line]
- Various: You are a monster!
- Stephen Canfield: You were right, Claire. My wife... my kids... They're afraid of me.

- Nathan Petrelli: You're not a messenger from God.
- Daniel Linderman: Moses saw a burning bush; Mary heard the angels. God came to Samuel in his dreams.
- Nathan Petrelli: And I've got a dead mobster telling me he's the voice of God.
- Nathan Petrelli: [after learning about the secret behind his own ability] It wasn't God...
- Angela Petrelli: We were trying to be better than God.
- Angela Petrelli: Someone has stolen the formula; they want to restart this project. They want to create a world filled with dangerous people - deadly, out of control. They will destroy everything. Please help me stop them.
- Nathan Petrelli: Go to hell.
- Stephen Canfield: They locked me away. No lawyer, no trial... I love my wife. I love my children. I just want to see 'em again. Hold them. Even if it's for the last time. I just want to be normal.
- Stephen Canfield: You people... You've taken everything from me!
