Sylar quotes from Heroes

Sylar

Hi. My name is Sylar. It's been about six weeks or so since I've seen my body, and I want it back.

Sylar

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Now, they can all be like this... or you and I can go find my body.

Sylar

Not as easy to ignore me as you thought. It's because I ooze charm.

Sylar

Forbidden fruit. My favorite kind.

Sylar

You're so desperate to fit in. Why can't you accept your power? Why do you insist on being... so forgettable?

Sylar

I don't have time for all the five stages of grief. Let's go right from denial to acceptance.

Sylar

[to Angela] You have raised the evil incarnate bar to an entirely new level. Thank you, for giving me something to strive for.

Sylar

You do exactly what I do. You use this gift, this curse, whatever it is, to build walls, make impossible to actually connect with another person.

Sylar

All these interactions, and you still can't say the one thing you really want to say to this girl. Heck, you keep this up, you might end up alone forever, too.

Sylar

Maybe you need a little more motivation. You will purge me of these powers, Parkman, or I will use them. I will use them all. And trust me, I can get really creative.

Sylar

I can't bring Nathan back Peter, but I can sure as Hell swing a sledgehammer.

Sylar

That's right... It's a brave new world.

Mohinder

(rings doorbell) Hello? Zane Taylor?

Sylar

Yes. You must be Dr. Suresh. Come on in. Can I get you some tea?

Mohinder

Sorry it took me so long to get here.

Sylar

No, it's no problem. Is Earl Grey okay?

Mohinder

Yes, that'll be fine. (Sylar moves to other room and begins to make tea.) You um, sounded rather alarmed on the phone. You semeed to have calmed down some.

Sylar

I had a kind of epiphany about it this morning. Are you familiar with Abraham Maslow, the peak experience?

Mohinder

No, I'm afraid not.

Sylar

It's, um.. a single moment that takes you out of yourself. Makes you feel very tiny, or very large.To some extent one with life, or nature, or god.

Mohinder

...I see.

Sylar

Like seeing all the pieces of a puzzle fit together. All this time I was trying to fight it. Deny it. But there is no shame in having this ability, is there?

Mohinder

None whatsoever. It would be like denying you have brown eyes.

Sylar

Right. So um, I guess that you- you want to see my ability.

Mohinder

Yes! I mean, I'm quite anxious to document it.

Sylar

(pulls out toaster.) You might want to step back, that looks like a nice jacket. (He places his hand over the appliance and melts the toaster)

Mohinder

My god.

Sylar

You want to see it again?

Mohinder

(chuckles and smiles nervously)

Mohinder

I'm very interested in how you control this ability.

Sylar

Well it's like... riding a bike for the first time. It's a little wobbly, and then I discovered something. A kind of peace. A sense of purpose that can only be described as destiny.

Mohinder

I'd like to take a DNA sample.

Sylar

From me, okay. Uh, sure.

Mohinder

(takes out a cotton swab and hands it to Sylar) Just swab it on the inside of your mouth. (tea starts whistling.)

Sylar

The tea. If you'll excuse me for a second?

Mohinder

Of course. (Sylar walks to the other room, where Zane Taylor is on the floor.)

Sylar

I just swab it on the inside of my cheek?

Mohinder

Yes, that's right. (Sylar swabs Zane's cheek as Mohinder walks toward the room they're in.)

Sylar

Here you go. The DNA sample. (hands Mohinder the swab.)

Mohinder

Thank you. You know.. you should be careful who you talk to about this ability, Zane. There's some people who might not undestand. Who might want to hurt you.

Sylar

Why would anybody want to hurt me?

Mohinder

I don't know yet. But I do know this, there are others out there like you.

Sylar

Really? How many others?

Mohinder

Dozens. And those are just the ones I know about. With more time and research I could find hundreds, thousands! But, uh... you're the first one who's returned my phone calls. But I am going to find them. All of them.

Sylar

I could go with you. I could help you. Think about it, these people could need convincing. Who better to do that?

Sylar

Uh, before we go in, I just wanted to say thanks.

Mohinder

For what?

Sylar

Well, you know, for bringing me with you. You didn't have to do that.

Mohinder

It would have been a long road alone. I'm glad for the company.

Sylar

I believe in fate, Mohinder, and karma. And I'm not just saying that 'cause you're Indian. I mean, you really came to my rescue. And I won't forget that.
