Nathan Petrelli quotes from Heroes

Nathan

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

Nathan

Two million dollars makes me a candidate in your pocket. Four million makes me a congressman.

Nathan

All right, I get it. A guy in his pajamas. Ha ha. Now we can all stare and have a good laugh, or one of you can lend me your cell phone.

Nathan

'[to Peter] I'm trying to make a difference, Peter, the best way I know how. Flying around... how is that going to help anybody. What is it- What am I- What am I going to do when I get there? I don't have a gun. I don't have a badge. I don't know karate. I guess I could put on a costume and fly around and pull cats out of trees. How's that going to make a difference?

Let's be honest. I can fly. I'm hardly dangerous.

Nathan

(to his other self) You don't want redemption. You want ignorance.

Nathan

(to Peter) You go, I go.

Nathan

Peter, that day at Kirby Plaza when I carried you away, it's because I believe in you. You're my brother, Pete. I love you.

Nathan

(giving a speech to a crowd of reporters in Texas) Good afternoon. Most of you have no idea who I am. My name is Nathan Petrelli and I was elected to Congress in the state of New York. It seems like a long time ago. I lost my position. I lost my brother. I lost my family. I'm sad to say that I lost my way. But while I was gone, I've had the chance to see the world through newly-humbled eyes. Witnessed amazing things, seen ordinary people among us trying their best each day to be heroes. These ordinary people... like you, like me, are capable of extraordinary things. You have no idea... how extraordinary. But there are other people; organizations who don't want you to know the truth. I myself kept secrets. But last year, something incredible happened to me... and it changed my life. At first, I was afraid. But I'm... I'm not afraid anymore. I'm here to tell you the truth. I have the abili-- (shots ring out; Nathan is hit twice in the chest and collapses)

Nathan

When your grandmother has a dream it's a good idea to pay attention.

Nathan

To the rest of the world, I'm Nathan Petrelli, Pete. But every time you look at me - the way you're looking at me right now - you're gonna see Sylar. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong, Pete.

Peter

It happened two more times. Look, sometimes I'm falling, sometimes I'm flying - sometimes you're in them!

Nathan

I don't have time for this now.

Peter

They're not just dreams, Nathan.

Nathan

Hold this.

Peter

I thought they'd go away, but they're not!

Nathan

Jim, I need this back by six, please. Thanks.

Peter

This morning, when I got out of bed, my foot hovered before it hit the ground - hovered!

Nathan

[to assistant]: Let me see the list

Peter

For a split second, like I was - like I was floating! I'm telling you, I-I think I can fly!

Nathan

[hands clipboard to assistant]: These all undecideds?:[to Peter]:Tell you what, you think you can fly? Why don't you jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, see what happens.

Peter

Maybe, I ought to start with something a little lower, first, just like learning to walk.

Nathan

You're serious?

Peter

Oh, I'm serious.

Peter

You didn't hear anything that I said earlier today, did you?

Nathan

About that bit how you can fly. Yeah I did. I'm gonna pretend for both our sakes you didn't say anything like that.

Peter

I've been up here all night. Thinking about this. Thinking about my destiny.

Nathan

What you doing, Pete?

Peter

It's my turn to be somebody now, Nathan!

Nathan

Come on, Peter. Quit screwing around

Nathan

[has just flown up and caught his brother in mid-air]: Peter!

Peter

[shocked]: You're flying Nathan! You're flying! How did you...

Nathan

I don't know.:[Peter slips from his grasp and falls]: No! No!
