Sylar quotes from Heroes

Funny, I didn't hear your footsteps.

Sylar

That's because there weren't any.

That sound, in your heart. What is it?

Sylar

[smiling] Murder.

Sylar

So this is the list?

Mohinder

Yes, what's left of it. Most of these people are missing or dead. I'm going to run your DNA sample against my father's formula. It will take you someplace safe.

Sylar

This is your father's formula? This is how he made this, this is how he found me.

Mohinder

Yes, although I haven't figured out what it is looking for. A specific gene? Codons? It's the proverbial needle.

Sylar

Did my DNA help?

Mohinder

No.

Sylar

Okay, well, Mohinder, you've been driving all night, why don't you just take a break?

Mohinder

I can't! These people are in danger. We have to warn them. If Sylar gets to them first-

Sylar

Exactly! So let me help. I mean, here. This one is in New York - Isaac Mendez. I'll call him, and you just relax. Just take a minute.

Mohinder

You're very kind. Thank you.

Sylar

...You have no idea how alone I used to feel. How insignificant. You've given me hope.

Mohinder

Hope is great, we need caffeine.

Sylar

So this formula, if you figure it out, how many of us will you find?

Mohinder

Who knows? Hundreds, thousands, maybe more.

Sylar

(dials Isaac's number, receives busy signal.) It's busy. I'll get him later. (Mohinder hands Sylar a cup of tea, Sylar raises his glass.) To new friends. (They clink teacups in toast; only Sylar sips the drink.) This is good, what is it?

Mohinder

Chai. It's a special blend my father brought from India.

Sylar

Who're we going to call next?

Mohinder

No one. (Stands, faces Sylar) I already have you, Mr. Sylar.

Sylar

I can't feel my fingers.

Mohinder

It's the curare. It induces paralysis of the brain. Which means you can't control your abilities.

Sylar

Whoever you think I am, I'm not.

Mohinder

You are the man who murdered my father. Do you still expect me to believe you're Zane Taylor? Zane was killed three days ago. The same day I met you. And you thought you were so clever giving me his DNA. You're a parasite. You killed my father and fed off his work. (taps a tuning fork against the chair and holds it up to Sylar's ear.) Let me hear you say it, tell me your name. Say it. I want to hear you say it!

Sylar

(in pain) Sylar!

Mohinder

There's only one thing to do with a parasite. Kill it before it kills again.

Sylar

You're just like your father, murderers, the both of you.

Mohinder

I'm a scientist.

Sylar

(laughs.) Your father said that but he kept leading me to them.

Mohinder

He had no idea what you were.

Sylar

He knew. He might not have admitted it, but after all, we were making so much progress together. Why would he stop?

Mohinder

(Mohinder brings out a gun and points it at Sylar.) You know nothing about my father!

Sylar

I know everything. He confided in me. He told me things he felt he could never tell you. Things about your sister, Shanti. He thought you were too... what's the word - fragile - to know the truth. That's why he liked me. (Mohinder presses the gun against Sylar's forehead.) You were always seeking his approval while I provided stimulation. He gave up on you, but he adored me. Now who's the real parasite here?! (Mohinder's hand falls to his side.)

Mohinder

You're right. My father did want answers. He called you 'Patient Zero'. You're the template he used to create this formula. You're the key to unlocking his secret. As much as I'd like to, killing you will not give me what I need.

Sylar

So what are you gonna do?

Mohinder

I'm going to take a sample of your spinal fluid. (leans down and whispers in his ear.) And it's going to hurt. You might actually do some good before you die. (Mohinder inserts needle into Sylar's spine; Sylar screams.)

Mohinder

I finally found it. That's it, these four simple genes, they answer everything. I can make a new list. I can find them, save them.

Sylar

And what about me? Don't I deserve to be saved? Aren't I just a victim, too? I didn't ask for this.

Mohinder

And what would you have me do?

Sylar

Help find a way. Give me salvation. Give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in! (Mohinder walks over to him.) I'm a natural progression of the species. Evolution is a part of nature, and nature kills. Simple, right?

Mohinder

What you've done is not evolution, it's murder. (holds gun up and points it at Sylar.) What I am doing is revenge. Now I can fulfill my duty as a son. (Sylar closes his eyes, and a gunshot is heard. The bullet is stopped before Sylar's face, then drops to the floor.)

Sylar

I wasn't begging for my life. I was offering you yours. (Sylar's constraints rip off, and he stands.) You are your father's son. So determined you didn't even notice I stopped the IV. But don't worry, you might actually do some good before you die. Starting with that list.

Peter

Suresh? (pause as he opens door, walks inside.) Suresh? It's Peter Petrelli. Mohinder? (Peter looks around as something drops on his head.)

Mohinder

(pinned against ceiling) Sylar.

Sylar

I remember you. (pins Peter against wall and holds him by the throat.) You're like me, aren't you? I'd like to see how that works.

Sylar

I remember you. You're like me, aren't you? I'd like to see how that works. (Sylar begins to open Peter's head.)

Peter

(begins screaming in pain, and then heals. Peter flings Sylar across the room against the wall, and Mohinder drops from the ceiling.)

Sylar

Oh no. I'm not done with him yet. (Peter turns invisible.) Interesting, I can't wait to try that one.

Claire

Who are you to decide who's special and who's not?

I'm the leader of the free world. For all I know, I'm the most special person there is. Lord knows I've found enough power. Met a lot of special people. Like this girl named Candice, who allowed me to become president. But, I'm done. I just want to eliminate the competition. I don't need anymore power. Especially not after you.

Nathan

Brother versus brother. It's almost biblical.

Peter

My brother can't walk through walls. Who are you?

Sylar

(morphs to Sylar's form.) An old friend. The guy they blamed for blowing up New York, but we know the real story, don't we Pete?

Peter

You're gonna pay for what you did to Nathan. What you did in his name!

Sylar

What I did? (activates his ice ability) When I killed Nathan he'd already turned against his own kind.

Peter

Liar! (Peter activates his fire ability and the two charge at eachother)

Mohinder

Hello?

Sylar

Mohinder. It's me. I need your help.

Mohinder

Sylar?

Sylar

I think I'm gonna do something bad.

Mohinder

You're a murderer. You don't get the luxury of regret.

Sylar

You don't understand. I think I'm gonna kill a lot more people. a lot more. I understood it before, the killing. To take what others didn't deserve. It was natural selection. But this time its different.

Mohinder

What are you talking about?

Sylar

An apocalypse. A massacre. Half the city gone in an instant...They mean nothing...They're innocent. There's no gain, so why would I do it? What possible reason could I have for killing so many?

Mohinder

[dialing on another phone] Wait. Listen. You don't have to -- If you are truly repentant about what you've done. Turn youself in.

Sylar

I can hear you dialing 9-1-1. It was a mistake to call.

Mohinder

No. Wait. Sylar? Sylar!

Sylar

That clock's broken.

Oh, that old thing. I should've thrown it away years ago.

Sylar

It was Dad's.

It's junk.

Sylar

It's a beautiful piece. It just needs a little attention.

I can't tell you how proud I am.

Sylar

I haven't done anything.

You've traveled the world. Some of us only get to see it in snow globes.

Sylar

I fix watches.

That's a hobby. Investment banking is a very lucrative field.

Sylar

I can't be an investment banker.

You could be anything you want.

Sylar

Mom, he wouldn't even remember who I am.

Who could forget you?

Sylar

Mom, you're not even listening to me!

I am listening.

Sylar

No...you're making a tuna sandwich.

So?

Sylar

I asked you not to.

I made a mistake. I'm sorry.

Sylar

Mom - mom, don't. It's just... maybe I don't have to be special. That's okay, to just be a normal watchmaker. Can't you just tell me that's enough?

Why would I tell you that when I know you could be so much more? If you wanted, you could be president.

Sylar

What if I told you I can be special? Important. But to do that I have to hurt a lot of people. Should I?

You? You could never hurt anyone.

Sylar

There's a lot of things I can do you don't know about. I have something to show you. (sprays water into the air.)

What are you doing?! (Sylar moves his hand over the water and turns it into snow.)

Sylar

I know how much you love snow globes.

How did you - Gabriel? Gabriel! (snow globes start spinning with the snow and one hits his mother in the cheek.)

I'm leaving. And when I get back I expect you to be gone.

Sylar

Don't say that, mom. It's me, it's Gabriel.

You're not Gabriel. You're damned. And I want you out of my house. (Sylar reaches forward and takes hold of his mother's wrist.) Let go! Get away from me! Get away!

Sylar

Calm down!

(she tries to pull away.) I want my son! What did you do with my son!? Give me back my boy.

Sylar

Mom, it's me, it's me, please, stop it! (his mother picks up a pair of scissors.)

You're not Gabriel! You're not, you're not! (There's a struggle, then Sylar backs away from his mother. Scene reveals he has accidentally stabbed her in the chest with the scissors.)

Sylar

Hmm, looks like you dropped something. [Sylar picks up a Ninth Wonder cartoon.] A comic book that predicts the future. What will they think of next? [Sylar turns to page showing Hiro stabbing him.] You're kidding. This is how Isaac thought I'd die? Stabbed by a silly little man?

Ando

Hiro is not silly!

Sylar

You should've seen the look on his face when he tried to kill me.

Ando

You cannot take my brain.

Sylar

Please. What would I want with your brain?

Sylar

Haven't I killed you before?

Peter

Didn't take.

Sylar

[chuckles] You think I'm gonna let you ruin it all? Take all the glory? [Parkman shoots at Sylar, but he stops the bullets and reflects them back.] Did you really think you could stop me?
