Synopsis
Memorable Quotes
"You've given me hope."
"Hope is great. What we need is caffeine."
"I keep you safe, not happy."
- - The Haitian, to Claire
"I'm a natural progression of the species. Evolution is a part of nature and nature kills. Simple, right?"
"What you've done isn't evolution, it's murder. What I am doing -- is revenge."
"Give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in!"
- - Sylar, (to Mohinder Suresh)
"Are you happy Nathan?"
"Not especially. I guess I have a few issues that plague me."
"Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. You see I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself, whether he wants a life of happiness, or a life of meaning."
"I'd like to have both."
"Can't be done. Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present. No thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But, a life of meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future."
"I remember you... You're like me aren't you? I'd like to see how that works."
- - Sylar, (to Peter Petrelli)
"Now you won't get any of my pot pie."
- - Mr. Linderman to Nathan
Notes
- NBC officially shortened the episode name from "Like Any Parasite" to just "Parasite".
Trivia
- Jessica and Micah are shown playing Heavenly Sword for the Playstation 3. However, the episode takes place in late October or early November, before the Playstation 3 was released, and Heavenly Sword isn't due for release until mid 2007.
- The Haitian speaks French twice without subtitles:
- When on the phone: "Yeah I've got the girl. What do you want me to do? I see... Marseille."
- When speaking to Mrs Petrelli: "Listen, I did all I could. She would've found her own way sooner or later anyway."
- The catalogue number of the Kensei sword that Hiro searches the computer system for is CRM-114, probably a reference to the radio discriminator aboard a B-52 in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
