Claire Bennet quotes from Heroes

Claire

Look, you can't say anything. I'm fine. He was drunk and it was an accident.

Zach

Which part was an accident? The rape or the murder?

Claire

It didn't happen.

Zach

Yeah, because he killed you before he had the chance.

Claire

I'm alive!

Zach

Yeah, now, but you weren't on the autopsy table.

Claire

Shhh!

Zach

Look, you said you had a hole in your head. Okay, maybe when - maybe when they pulled whatever was in there, its when you like, rebooted or whatever.

Claire

I'm not a hard drive.

Zach

No, you're little Miss Miracle Gro.

Claire

Don't ever call me that again.

Zach

I know who I am. I like who I am. I like who you are. I just... I just wish you liked who you are.

Claire

I'm finally realizing who my friends really are. And that maybe being different isn't the end of the world. That's just who I am.

Zach

Exactly. You've got to embrace your inner freak. Because the only thing that you'll regret is denying who you really are.

Claire

I don't know what I am. I don't know if God made me this way or someone else.

Ted

God didn't make us this way.

Sandra

God makes us all the way we are.

Claire

When can I go back to my family?

Haitian

Shall I lie to you and say it will be soon? You know who we run from.

Claire

Daddy, I'm so sorry.

Noah

Claire!

Claire

It's all my fault. I tried to do what you said... but they caught me. I'm so scared. (Noah pushes her away.) What is it?

Noah

You. You're not...

Claire

Not what?

Noah

Not you! (Claire's body morphs into Candice's form.)

Peter

You saved my life.

Claire

Guess we're even now.

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.

Claire

Tell me you have a plan, dad.

Noah

I have a plan. I love you, Claire.

Claire

I love you too.

Claire

The future is not written in stone!

Nathan

I'm afraid this one is.

Claire

Please tell me there's another way.

Peter

There is no other way.

Nathan

Yes there is, Claire. The future's not written in stone.

Noah

From now on, you have to be entirely un-extraordinary.

Claire

Right. Don't stand out in any way.

West

So, what are you?

Claire

Meaning what exactly?

West

Meaning are you one of them? Or one of the others?

Claire

I'm not sure I know what you're getting at.

West

Lemme break it down for you: are you a robot or an alien? 'Cause everyone in the world is one or the other.

Nathan

Why are you calling me?

Claire

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Nathan

Well don't do it again. I gotta go.

Claire

No, wait. Listen. I know why you're doing this. I get it, I miss him too. I just- I need someone to talk to. I don't know if I can do this anymore.

Nathan

Do what?

Claire

Not be who I really am. And I know that I-I can't be who they want me to be and I just feel like I'm gonna burst.

Nathan

Look, I know you're looking for answers. We all are. But trust me, I'm not the guy to give them to you. I'm sorry.

West

So, lizards, huh?

Claire

Tell me you didn't just time that so I'd walk right past you.

West

I figured you'd be more into whales or something. Unicorns.

Claire

You know, you make a lot of assumptions. Is my hair really that blonde?

West

I think it's cool actually. I'm sort of into genetics too.

Claire

I didn't say I was into genetics.

West

You don't have to hide everything interesting about you. Biology is supposed to be our destiny. But people forget genes can change!

Claire

I thought guys like you were supposed to sit in the back of the classroom and hate everything.

West

I just found this book. It's by some Indian guy, I can barely even pronounce his name. It's about everything you're talking about. People who evolved. There's a whole chapter on regeneration!

Claire

Sorry, I left all my awesome genetics expert reading for the summer vacation.

Claire

It was a pedicure.

West

What?

Claire

I was giving myself a pedicure.

West

You're not very good at it!
