Fail Safe (2021)

Alex Garfin: Jordan Kent

Quotes 

• Jordan Kent : Today's gonna suck.

  Sarah Cushing : It feels like the Salem witch trials are here.

  Jordan Kent : Hey, Sarah.

  Sarah Cushing : Where's everybody going?

  Jonathan Kent : School assembly about Edge.

  Sarah Cushing : I can't do this today.

  Jordan Kent : W-Where you going?

  Sarah Cushing : Anywhere but here.

• Jordan Kent : How'd you find this place?

  Sarah Cushing : I used to come here with mi abuelita. She'd tell me stories about my family. We're originally from Mexico, but we've been in Smallville for generations, so. You know, half the time, I wouldn't even know which one of her stories were true, but it always just made me feel like I had somewhere to belong.

  Jordan Kent : I never really felt like I belonged anywhere. To be honest, until I met you.

  Sarah Cushing : Jordan...

  Jordan Kent : I-I know, I know, I know, whatever, but it's... look, all-all I'm saying is that it only really takes one person to change your whole life, just to make you feel safe. And you have Jon, and you have your family, and you have me. And that's never going away.

  Sarah Cushing : You should probably kiss me now.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah?

  Sarah Cushing : Yeah.

• Lois Lane : Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in? You can't just skip school. I don't care if you're mooning over Sarah Cushing or coming home to build robots with John Henry.

  Jordan Kent : Mooning?

  Jonathan Kent : It's a war suit.

  Clark Kent : Look, guys, you've been through a lot. You wanna blow off some steam, I get it. But there are rules, and you do not disrespect your teachers by ignoring the work they put into your classes.

  Jonathan Kent : We're sorry.

  Jordan Kent : Really sorry.

  Clark Kent : You want to try saying that a little more convincingly, please?

  Jonathan Kent : I'm sorry.

  Jordan Kent : I'm sorry.

  Clark Kent : Thank you.

• Jordan Kent : Denise and Avery still giving you crap about what happened?

  Sarah Cushing : I just know they're talking about me, but it can't be worse than what they're saying about my parents.

  Jordan Kent : That's not fair.

  Sarah Cushing : I don't think 'fair' is a real thing. My mom, she's a public relations queen, so...

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, so what you so worried about, then?

  Sarah Cushing : My dad, he... things like this usually send him over a cliff. I'm kind of just waiting for that last little nudge.

• Clark Kent : I spoke with your grandfather. The DOD's gonna stick around town a little longer than they planned.

  Jonathan Kent : Until you guys find Leslie Larr or...

  Clark Kent : That, and they're shutting down the mines.

  Jordan Kent : Why?

  Lois Lane : Gonna get all the X-Kryptonite out so no one else gets hurt.

  Jordan Kent : So no one else gets powers, you mean.

  Lois Lane : Also true.

  Jonathan Kent : And then-then what? And then we're just supposed to go back to school and pretend like none of this ever happened?

  Lois Lane : Principal Balcomb's holding an all-school assembly today. She'll talk to everyone about it, answer any questions she can.

  Jordan Kent : Maybe we should just stay home.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, nice try.

  Lois Lane : As far as everyone is concerned, Edge was experimenting with people, giving them powers, mind control. I discovered what he was up to with the help of your grandfather, who had help from Superman, we stopped him. Copy?

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah, don't worry, Mom. We're getting pretty good at cover stories, so...

• Jordan Kent : You are a rule-breaker.

  Sarah Cushing : Me?

  Jordan Kent : Mm-hmm.

  Sarah Cushing : You've missed more days this year than any other kid in school.

  Jordan Kent : I have a weak immune system.

• Lana Lang Cushing : [learning Sarah and Jordan were arrested]  Kya, what's going on?

  Deputy Kya Johnson : They were caught trespassing out by Atlas Pond.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Are you kidding me? When we were their age, we used to go there all the time.

  Deputy Kya Johnson : I don't know what to tell you other than it's private property.

  Lois Lane : Deputy, if Lana didn't even know it was private property, then I'm sure the kids didn't, either, and I promise you, there's a world of just unimaginable horror that awaits my son for skipping school.

  Lana Lang Cushing : The same goes for Sarah. This will never happen again.

  Lois Lane : [cut to them leaving the station]  Just because she let two go with a warning doesn't mean it didn't happen.

  Jordan Kent : Mom...

  Lois Lane : Don't talk yet.
