Smallville Quote
Chloe: I do know that because of you, my dad can't get a job. So why would I help you?
Lex: Because my father's the one who ordered his dismissal. You know that's the truth, don't you?
Chloe: Meaning that my family's future is just one chess move in the endless game of one-upmanship played by you and your dad.
Lex: It's not a game, Chloe. You're the only one who can get me the truth.
Chloe: Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Why can't you just walk away from your father?
Lex: Because he won't give me the only thing I've ever wanted from him.
Chloe: And that would be?
Lex: I want him to love me.
