Quotes

Chloe Sullivan : There are still a few blind spots, though. Like, how did we get beamed from the Kawatche cave to the North Pole? And, uh, what was really going on in that 40-story igloo?
Clark Kent : Well, Chloe, there's a lot of things about me that even I don't understand. The meteor rocks... They didn't make me who I am.
Chloe Sullivan : So you're saying you were born this way?
Clark Kent : I wasn't born anywhere near Smallville. In fact, I wasn't born anywhere near this galaxy.
Chloe Sullivan : Okay. Okay, so that would then make you, like, an...
Clark Kent : Yeah.
Chloe Sullivan : Uh, but you... You look so...
Clark Kent : Human? I'm still the same person.
Chloe Sullivan : Clark, I... I... I think you're so amazing. You save people's lives and take zero credit for it. To me, you're more than just a hero. You're a superhero.
Clark Kent : Chloe.
Chloe Sullivan : I'm serious, Clark. If more humans were like you, the world would be a better place.
-
Chloe Sullivan : Hey. I think it's time you switch into Super Clark mode now.
Clark Kent : Super Clark?
Chloe Sullivan : I know you run faster than a speeding bullet, Clark. Take me along for the ride.
-
Chloe Sullivan : I wonder who's more freaked out right now. Me, knowing I'm in a hospital where they get their medicine via dogsled... Or you, finally finding out I know your secret.
Clark Kent : How long have you known?
Chloe Sullivan : I guess I've always had my suspicions. The quick exits, the miraculous recoveries, the lame excuses. But I think when I saw you catch a car like it was a beach ball, that kind of confirmed everything.
Clark Kent : Why didn't you say anything?
Chloe Sullivan : I figured if you wanted to tell me you were part of the superpowered persuasion, you would when you were ready. On your teams, not mine.
Clark Kent : You're a good friend, Chloe.
Chloe Sullivan : *Obviously*, not good enough.
-
Clark Kent : How'd you get that frog in your throat?
Lois Lane : That's what happens when you get a neck massage form Barbie the Barbarian. Doctor says I shouldn't talk too much.
Clark Kent : Oh, gee. That's too bad.
Lois Lane : Don't get your hopes up, Smallville. It's not permanent.
-
Lana Lang : Clark, I wanna ask you something. Do you believe in life on other planets?
Clark Kent : Actually, I do.
-
Martha Kent : [Looking at the Kent farmhouse with a gaping hole in it from where the meteor struck the house] Our home...
Jonathan Kent : It's just wood and plaster, Martha. A house can always be rebuilt.
Martha Kent : I guess you're right.
Jonathan Kent : [Clark walks toward his mom and dad] But it does help to have a one-man construction team as a son.
Martha Kent : Hi.
Clark Kent : Hi.
Jonathan Kent : [after observing a short pause, glad to be together again] Don't worry, Clark, things will be back to normal soon enough.
Clark Kent : Actually, things will be a lot more normal around here than you think.
[pauses to prepare himself]
Clark Kent : My abilities are gone.
Martha Kent : [In shock] How?
Clark Kent : Jor-El took them. But, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. All I've ever wanted is to be normal, and now, finally, I am.
Martha Kent : It is different. You can get hurt now, you're vulnerable.
Clark Kent : Isn't that what it means to be human?
Jonathan Kent : No, I can't believe Jor-El would have given up on you that easily.
Clark Kent : I took care of the danger he warned me about, and if losing my abilities is the consequence then I think he's done with me.
[Walks to Jonathan and Martha and stands beside them]
Clark Kent : Look, none of that matters now. I'm ready to take a step to the future. We'll start by rebuilding this house, one board at a time.

Clark Kent : [inside the Fortress of Solitude] I thought Krypton was destroyed.
Jor-El : It was, but here in your Fortress of Solitude, the geography of our planet has been replicated for your training.
Clark Kent : I know there's a lot I can learn from you, but I have to get home. That's where I'm needed.
Jor-El : The meteor shower is only the precursor. A dark force from Krypton has been awakened, Kal-El, and its sights have been set on Earth.
Clark Kent : What do you want me to do?
[a massive column of energy surrounds Clark with images of Krypton's history]
Jor-El : You must do as I tell you. Study with diligence, for that is the only way to save this planet.
-
Clark Kent : [seeing the destruction at the farm on a news report about the meteor shower] They didn't get out. My parents, they didn't get out.
Chloe Sullivan : Smallville needs you more than I do, Clark. Go.
-
Clark Kent : [Super-speeds into Lex's study and Nam-Ek and Aethyr turn to face him] I heard you were looking for me. I'm Kal-El.
Nam-Ek : At last.
Clark Kent : Who are you?
Aethyr : The last survivors of Krypton.
Clark Kent : What do you want?
Nam-Ek : We want you to join with us, Kal-El, and help us make this savage land our utopia.
Clark Kent : I saw what you did at the hospital. It's not utopia. It's MURDER.
Nam-Ek : The few must be sacrificed for the sake of the many.
Clark Kent : Then sacrifice me, because I'm not going to let you kill anyone else.
Aethyr : If that is your decision. So be it, Kal-El.
[Aethyr releases the key to the Phantom Zone on Clark]

Clark Kent : [running around the ruins of the farmhouse] MOM! DAD!
Lex Luthor : [enters] Clark. Thank God you're okay.
Clark Kent : Where's my mom and dad?
Lex Luthor : At the hospital. Your mom has a concussion and a broken leg but she's gonna be fine.
Clark Kent : What about Lana?
Lex Luthor : Lana's safe. It's Chloe I'm worried about. She was with me in the cave when the meteors hit and I was knocked unconscious and when I came to she was gone.
Clark Kent : She must have escaped while you were unconscious.
Lex Luthor : Or someone helped her out.
Clark Kent : Lex, how could I've...
Lex Luthor : When I was down in the cave there was a light brighter than anything I've ever seen... and I could've sworn I saw you standing right in its epicenter.
Clark Kent : I was nowhere near those caves.
Lex Luthor : If you weren't down in the caves, where have you been?
Clark Kent : My parents insisted I get a head start. I got a ride on one of the military vans.
Lex Luthor : Why do I get this nagging feeling your being less than honest with me?
Clark Kent : I have no idea.
Lex Luthor : Well, I get the feeling that lying has become an unshakable habit of yours, Clark.
Clark Kent : I don't have to listen to this.
[Turns his back on Lex]
Lex Luthor : If you're my friend...
[grabs Clark's arms]
Lex Luthor : ...just tell me the truth. Were you in the cave when the meteors hit?
Clark Kent : [coldly] No.
