When I was a kid... I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn't really my family. They weren't bad people, they were just... insignificant. And I wanted to be different. Special. I wanted to change. A new name, a new life. The watchmaker's son... became a watchmaker. It is so futile. And I wanted to be... important.

Hiro Nakamura: My name is Hiro Nakamura. I am here to save your life.
Sheriff: Hey Charlie! Charlie, come on over here and blow out the candle.
Charlie: Hold that thought, okay? I just got to make a wish. Come on.

Hiro Nakamura: You learn Japanese very quickly.
Charlie: Lately I've just been able to remember the words.
Hiro Nakamura: You have power. I have power too. It will only get stronger in the future.
Charlie: The future. Right, I forgot that's where you come from.

Matt Parkman: License and registration, please.
Eden McCain: Oh, this isn't my car, I kinda stole it.
Matt Parkman: Can you take your glasses off for me, please?
[Eden does so. Matt sees a bottle of liquor in the passenger seat]
Matt Parkman: Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the car.
Eden McCain: No, I don't feel like it.
Matt Parkman: That wasn't a suggestion.
Eden McCain: Well here's a suggestion. Why don't you go get back in your car and eat a dozen donuts. That is what you cops like to do, right?
Matt Parkman: Ma'am, step out of the car. Now.
Eden McCain: I think you really want a donut.

I loved her.

Hiro Nakamura

[Narrating] To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose. The Earth spins at a thousand miles an hour as we desperately try to keep from being thrown off. Like the first blush in winter that signals a great migration. Is there any warning of their arrival? A sign, a single event that set this chain into motion? Was it a whisper in God's ear? Survive. Adapt. Escape. And if we could mark our single moment in time, that first hint of a prophecy of approaching danger... would we have done anything differently? Could it have been stopped? Or was the die long ago cast? And if we could go back, alter its course, stop it from happening... would we?

Hiro Nakamura: You still want to go?
Charlie: Yeah, oh yeah, no it's not that it's just um... ever since I met you, I don't know, you just made me so happy.
Hiro Nakamura: You make me happy too.
Charlie: Well it's more than that. I don't let people get very close. There's a blood clot in my brain, inches away from an aneurism. I'm dying.
Hiro Nakamura: But, I'm supposed to save you.
Charlie: You did, you did. Before you got here I decided to give up. But you have made me feel more alive and more full of joy than I could ever have imagined. Hiro... aishiteru yo.
