Peter Petrelli quotes from Heroes

Peter

The plane ticket, the painting. It all points to Montreal. It's a start.

I'm going with you.

Peter

No, I'm not risking your life too.

We were both in that Montreal painting. I think I'm supposed to go with you, Peter. Besides, when you find Ricky's killer, I want to be there.

Peter

What for?

To kill the bitch.

Peter Petrelli

[to himself] Adam, I don't know any Adam. [hears noise behind him, shoots bolt of lightning in direction, hits a hand that heals immediately]

[emerging from behind armoire] Peter, what the hell was that?

Peter

You know my name?

Adam

Of course I do. You're Peter Petrelli. Don't you remember? We're going to change history.

Adam

You know, it's been a month. You still haven't told me your name.

Peter

Please, I just wanna be left alone.

Adam

You came to the right place. I have to warn you though, it does get a bit old. Let me guess, you were living a perfectly ordinary life until one day you discovered you could do incredible things. I bet it was wonderful at first. You thought perhaps you could save the world. And then you realized, tragically, that you were dangerous. I'll let you talk to me after a decade. Oh, actually, talk to me after three.

Peter

If they wanna leave me in here forever that's fine by me.

Adam

You've been through something awful haven't you? I'm sorry.

Peter

I'm Peter.

Adam

Hello, Peter. It's nice to meet you. I'm Adam.

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.

Peter

Did you kill Hiro's father?

Adam

I did. He saw to it that the virus be safely kept here. If he didn't plan to use it, why not destroy it?

Peter

Why don't you make me believe you, Adam? Hiro said not to trust you.

Adam

The woman you love is trapped in some horrible future where nearly everyone is dead. You can change that. She needs you, Peter. We all need you. To open that door.

Peter

You're on the wrong side!

Nathan

What about me, Pete?

Peter

Nathan?

Nathan

Am I on the wrong side, too?

Nathan

We've been used by these people. Manipulated. But it's over. It stops here. No more secrets.

Peter

So what do you wanna do?

Nathan

We take this all public. We expose them for what they are. What they've done. That they're the enemy. I wanna have a press conference.

Nathan

Hey, you tried to do the right thing. You always do. You trusted that people were as good as you are. But if you see yourself as a monster, Peter, this guilt is just gonna eat you up inside. Believe me, I know. (Peter smiles.) What?

Peter

Just really missed you.

Nathan

I missed you too. (Nathan and Peter hug)

Where is he?! Where'd they go?

Escaped.

No. That's not possible. That never happened.

It's the butterfly effect, Peter. Just like I told you.

I put him here to keep him safe. I put him in the body of the guy in THAT CELL. RIGHT THERE!!

Jesse? You're gonna figure out where my son is and you are gonna bring him back here. You understand me?

AND GO THE HELL BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!

Peter

I'm gonna make you pay for everything you've ever done!!!

Arthur

Son... until you change that attitude... you're grounded!

Sylar

[Shapeshifted] You really did a great job, sir. [He reaches to shake the President's hand. They touch, and Sylar's face morphes between many people. The handshake turns into a firm grip and a needle is thrust into Sylar's neck as Peter reveals himself and pulls their faces close.]

Peter

Bet you didn't think I took that one from you.

Claire

Peter? How'd you get in the bathroom?

Peter

It's been a long time since I've... teleported.

Please, Peter, think about what you're doing.

Peter

I have. Gonna go get Nathan back.

What happens when you find out there's not a Nathan to get back?

Peter

I guess I'll just settle for revenge.

Sylar

What so we can save what's-her-name? [Peter punches him in the face]

Peter

Her name's Emma.

Samuel

I see you've found my power!

Peter

Funny how that works isn't it? I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone now.

Samuel

Peter, you of all people should know they have to fear us! That's the only way they'll respect us. All you've ever wanted is respect. We both know what it's like to live in the shadow of a brother. Joseph destroyed my potential, kept me down, just like your brother.

Peter

My brother didn't let me down. He built me up.
