Hiro Nakamura quotes from Heroes

We did make a good time you and I. You showed me how to be a hero. How to love. And then you took it all away. Do it, stop time, kill me, chop off my head.

Hiro

I will not do it. I still have faith in you.

The honorable Hiro Nakamura. He won't kill you, he'll just lie, and steal.

Hiro

I wanted to help you become a hero!

Yaeko

Perhaps now you can live happily with his princess.

Hiro

That's not how the story ends. It is the last trial. "Kensei and the Dragon". My father told it to me. The dragon who taught Kensei the way of the sword... demanded his love in return.

Yaeko

What did Kensei do?

Hiro

He cut out his own heart to save her. To save Japan.

Yaeko

Is that what you must do now? Cut out your heart?

Hiro

I nearly destroyed time by staying when I should have left. I must go back.

Yaeko

As long as I have a voice, all shall know the tale of noble Takezo Kensei. The boy Hiro Nakamura will have tales to help him sleep.

Hiro

And he will dream of the Princess.

Young Hiro

My father's going to die too?!

Hiro

Not for a long time!

Young Hiro

No! I must stop it. I am a hero!

Hiro

Some things even Takezo Kensei cannot change. We cannot play god.

Young Hiro

But I must honor him!

Hiro

Listen to him. Learn from his lessons. Strength... responsibility... and justice.

Hiro

I suppose this is... goodbye.

Kaito

I've never time traveled before. I'm proud of you son.

Hiro

Goodbye Father. Please give my love to Mother.

Peter

Hiro?

Hiro

Peter Petrelli?

Peter

What are you doing here?

Hiro

Adam Monroe killed my father. And for that, he must pay.

Peter

No! I can't let you hurt him.

Hiro

Why are you protecting him?

Peter

Adam is my friend.

Hiro

He was my friend too. 400 years ago. He betrayed me. He will betray you.

Peter

No! He saved my brother's life!

Hiro

He murdered my father.

Peter

Your father had him locked away for 30 years. I know, I was in that same prison. Hiro... I went into the future. There's a virus. It kills almost everyone. And it starts here. Today. Adam and I are gonna stop it.

Nathan

Listening to my mother has never led to anything good. If Peter becomes a problem, I'll handle him.

Hiro

Flying Man!

Matt

Who's this guy supposed to be?

Hiro

(in Japanese) You are not God.

Adam

Really? I've lived for over 400 years. Who's to say I'm not going to live 400 more?

Hiro

(in Japanese) I should have killed you. Long ago. And I should kill you now. For my father.

Ando

(In Japanese) Hiro? Where have you been?

Hiro

(In Japanese) I went to face my father's killer.

Ando

(In Japanese) Well, did you find him? (Hiro nods) Did you kill him?

Hiro

(In Japanese) He can never hurt anyone ever again.

Daphne

How are you doing this? Are you a speedster too?

Hiro

Speedster? No, I'm Hiro Nakamura. I stop time.

Daphne

I got news. You don't stop it completely, or we're not having this conversation.

Hiro

So you move fast?

Daphne

Not fast. I move really fast.

Hiro

Well, you stole something from me.

Daphne

You mean this? [shows stolen formula]

Hiro

Give it--

Daphne

This whole time-stopping thing, how does it work exactly? I mean, if you chase me to Bangkok, will time stay frozen here in Tokyo?

Hiro

I don't know.

Daphne

Well...Something to think about when you get back on your feet.

Hiro

But I am on my feet.

Daphne

[Daphne punches Hiro, unfreezing time] Gotta go.

Hiro

What are you doing?

Ando

I'm being awesome!

Hiro

Nemesis!

Daphne

Stop calling me that. My name is Daphne.

Daphne

There's supposed to be some sort of exchange going down at this theater and I'm waiting to intercept

Hiro

You're telling us your plan? What kind of overconfident nemesis are you?

Daphne

You're 0 for 2 against me, pikachu.That's just regular confidence.

Hiro

Pikachu? We will find the other half of the formula before you and we will save the world.

Daphne

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Hiro

We are searching for a formula that...

Adam

A formula? I knew it'd come back to bite them in the ass one day. Even I told them to destroy it.

Ando

So you know who would steal it?

Adam

Maybe... If I tell you, what's in it for me?

Hiro

When we have finished our mission, I promise to put you in a most spacious cell.

Ando

With a window!

Hiro

And a vent.

Adam

Forget it.

Hiro

Okay, back you go (Squeezes eyes to bend time)

Adam

Wait! (frustrated) You little Japanese Nazi! Let me think! Let's see, off the top of my head, I'd say your villain is Angela Petrelli.

Hiro

She's the one who asked us to find the formula.

Adam

I see. Well then, I'm fresh out of ideas.

Hiro

We are badasses now.

Ando

Yes, we are very badass.

Hiro

Now you know what it's like to be killed by your best friend.

Ando

Okay, now we're even.
