Heroes2006/II

[after wreaking havoc in an office, Adam holds Peter at gunpoint]

Adam:
You work here?

Peter Petrelli:
No. I'm just like you - having a bad day. The worst, in fact. You see, I just buried my brother. He was murdered. And if that's not bad enough, I had to stage his death, like I'm some kind of mobster or spy. But I'm not; I'm just some kid from New York City. And now everyone expects me to shake hands and pretend everything's normal, but it's not. It's far from that.

Adam:
Why're you telling me this, man?

Peter Petrelli:
Because I understand where you're at right now. You want to punish the people that have hurt you. I know what that feels like. I want to torture the guy that murdered my brother. I want to make him scream; that's all I can think about. But I'm trying to be hopeful. I'm trying to be strong, even though I feel myself slipping. Look, I promised my brother that I'd be a hero. Don't make me a liar. Not today.
