Eric Roberts: Thompson

Chapter Seventeen 'Company Man'

Thompson

Noah Bennet: [14 years ago] I think my wife suspects something. She went through my bag. She found my gun and my sedation kit.
Thompson: That's a particular kind of stupid on your part, letting her find them.
Noah Bennet: I know, I know. The baby's been keeping me up for days, it was sloppy. I think Sandra thinks I'm some kind of a serial killer.
Thompson: She's better off thinking you're a serial killer than knowing the truth.

Noah Bennet: What do you want from me? You come into my house with guns?
Ted Sprague: Not guns, gun. I don't need a gun. Do I, Mr. Bennet? Not after what you did to me.
Noah Bennet: I don't know you.
Ted Sprague: If you insist on lying, you're gonna upset me. You know what happens when I get upset?
[looking at Claire]
Ted Sprague: I get very bright and very hot.
Matt Parkman: No, no, no, no. Ted is going to do us all a favor, right Ted? And he's not gonna get upset.
[pointing at Mr. Bennet]
Matt Parkman: But you gotta help.
Noah Bennet: I'm not who you think I am. I'm just a paper salesman.
Ted Sprague: No, no. You're not.
[flashback to fifteen years ago]
Thompson: So tell me, how do you feel about paper?
Noah Bennet: Mildly enthusiastic.

Thompson: [concerning about the young Haitan's power] When we asked him to describe his ability, he drew a picture of himself grabbing memories, like little grubworms, out of someone's heads. I wanted to put it on the front of my fridge.

Noah Bennet: Has he been located?
Thompson: The Haitian? Nah, he must have figured you'd turn him in. How long was he hiding Claire? In plain sight too. You must feel like a fool.
Noah Bennet: I take it it's been months. She trusted him over her own father.
Thompson: Surrogate father.

Thompson: [Mr. Bennet and Thompson view Ted, who is locked up in a containment cell similar to Sylar's]
[about Ted]
Thompson: Now that we have him, we'll keep Sprague sedated... find out what gives him his "spark."
Noah Bennet: And then?
Thompson: What do you think?
