Hiro Nakamura quotes from Heroes

Hiro

Why is everything so purple?

Hiro

I refuse to eulogize my father. To eulogize him is to admit he is gone. My father is not dead. Kaito Nakamura taught me right from wrong. What it means to be a hero... so long as the lessons live on through me, he will never die. My father taught me to understand that certain things are in God's hands, but for everything else, God has given us the gift of choice. My father gave me the tools to fight the battles ahead. Every hand I extend in kindness is his hand. And every blow that I strike for justice is his fist. So long as the lessons he taught stay with me, and so long as he lives on in my heart, then my father is never truly dead.

Hiro

Matt Parkman, meet Matt Parkman.

Hiro

Find something you like to do. Then it doesnt feel like work.

Hiro

Life is a gift, precious and short, not [to be] wasted by jumping off a roof.

Hiro

Don't keep secrets. Not from the ones you love. Especially family members.

Hiro

I have so many stories to share with you, Kimiko. I just hope I have time to tell you them all.

Hiro

I am the master of time and space. Well, I was. Lately, time and space has been the master of me.

Hiro

And now, to assist Hiro the Magnificent, please welcome to the stage Emma the... also Magnificent!

Hiro

Sometimes a hero has to run away, to live to fight another day.

Hiro

Must rescue Watson. Scotty, beam me up!

Hiro

[after Ando has accidentally swallowed drugs] Nap time for Sancho.

Hiro

My clock. I made it go back one second using only my mind, my thoughts.

Ando

Too bad you're not paid by the hour.

Hiro

I have discovered powers beyond any mere mortal.

Ando

Right. You and Spock.

Hiro

Yes. Like Spock. Exactly.

Ando

Use your death grip, Spock! The death grip!

Hiro

You don't understand, I want to be special.

Ando

We are not special. We are Japanese!

Ando

Fine. I'll humor you. Let's say you really do have this power. What do you do with it? Join the circus? No one ever got laid by stopping the second hand of a clock.

Hiro

As I develop my powers, I'll learn to bend space, too. Then I can teleport myself anywhere on the planet.

Ando

Like Star Trek.

Hiro

Every hero must learn his purpose. Then he'll be tested and called to greatness.

Ando

I think I need a stiff drink! "Beam us up, Scotty".

Ando

Tell me one useful thing you could do with this power. Can you make money?

Hiro

A super hero doesn't use his power for personal gain.

Ando

Then what good is it? Can you teleport yourself into the women's bathroom? Now, there's something useful. You won't learn your "purpose" in there, but you might learn something about life.
