Jonathan: [to Clark] This is your destiny, son. You are going to touch the lives of so many people. Not just as a man, but as a symbol. You're a symbol of peace. You're a symbol of justice. And now it's time for you to go.
TV Show: Smallville

Clark: You died because of me. When Jor-El brought me back to life and restored my powers... he told me there'd be a price - the life of someone I love. I'm sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry.
Jonathan: Clark... believe me you have nothing to be sorry about. I lived a full, wonderful life. I had everything a husband or a father could ever possibly dream of. I am so very proud that I died protecting you.
Clark: Protecting me from what?
Jonathan: Lionel Luthor, Clark. He knows your secret. He knows everything. You can't stay here, son. You've got to keep your mother safe. You've got to keep the whole world safe.

Chloe: Well I'll reach out to my source and see if they know anything else. Clark, don't worry about it. You won the first fight. My money's on you in the rematch.
Clark: Chloe, I don't think Fine is the only thing we need to worry about. When I was injected with the serum and died, I saw my father.
Chloe: Oh my God, Clark.
Clark: Yeah, he told me there's someone else who knows my secret - Lionel Luthor.
Chloe: Well you can't be sure. I mean what you saw it could have been a hallucination. You know a manifestation of your desires and fears.
Clark: Chloe, I could feel my father. It was real. I know it in my heart.

Lillian: What was it then that brought you to me? Oh yes, you were shot coming out of a meeting with the man you hired to destroy Jonathan Kent's reputation, so you could become senator. How'd that turn out, by the way?
Lex: If you're really my dead mother, wouldn't you know?
Lillian: It was a rhetorical question, Alexander; of course I know.

Clark: Chloe, if my parents hadn't found me in that field, it could have been me in the foster care system, scaring people with my powers, being accused of crimes I didn't commit.
Chloe: Yeah, and Clark, one of your greatest powers is your unrelenting faith in people.
Chloe: Yeah, and Clark, one of your greatest powers is your unrelenting faith in people.

Maddie: Clark, did you ever meet your real dad?
Clark: Sort of...
Maddie: Was he bad like mine?
Clark: Maybe worse. But just because he gave me life doesn't mean I'm anything like him. See, the thing is, Maddie, anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

Lionel: I've been expecting you, Kal-El.
Clark: How long have you known?
Lionel: From the moment I held in my hand the crystal that helped to create your Fortress of Solitude.
Clark: The one that put you in a coma.
Lionel: Coma? I like to think of it as... a state of contemplative repose.
Clark: You've known my secret for almost a year.
Lionel: Yes.
Clark: Why haven't you done anything?
Lionel: What? Expose you to the world? A strange visitor from another planet? I've tried to tell you--I am not your enemy. To reveal your secret would change your destiny. And it would harm someone I care about very deeply.
Clark: You had a choice: To kill my mother or to kill yourself.
Lionel: I could never harm your mother. There was no choice.
Clark: Yeah. [pause] Unless you knew the gun wasn't loaded.
Lionel: You have no reason to believe anything I say. I realize that. I hope eventually you will come to trust me. I only want what's best for you and your mother, son.
Clark: [angrily] You don't call me that. Jonathan Kent was my father.
Lionel: No. I'm not trying to take his place.
Clark: You couldn't. My mother seems to think there may be some good in you, but I'm not so sure.
Lionel: It takes time, Clark. Maybe you will be.
Clark: Or maybe you'll just show your true colors. Secret or no secret, you stay away from my mother, or you'll wish I'd never saved your life.

Lionel: It was you, Lex. I know it.
Lex: What?
Lionel: Disabling my limo in the path of an oncoming train. You know that kind of melodrama went out of style with silent movies.

Lex: I may not like you very much, Dad, but you’re a valuable asset to LuthorCorp. Killing you would hurt the bottom line.

Lionel: Well I'm just thankful the elevator safety breaks slowed us down enough to survive the fall.
Lex: Yeah, you should be. Especially since Cole disabled them.
Lionel: That's enough to make a man believe in miracles. Isn't, son?
Lex: I don't suppose Clark had any thing to do with that divine intervention?
Lex: Yeah, you should be. Especially since Cole disabled them.

Chloe: [about Lionel] Why don't you let me use that as an in, you know, to find out what he's really up to?
Clark: What if he finds out what you're up to? It's too risky.
Chloe: Oh, and waiting for Darth Luthor to hatch his evil plan isn't?

Chloe: Come on, Clark. Pick up the pace-- somewhere between a brisk walk and super speed. The star witness testifies in fifteen minutes.
Clark: Not that I mind being your "Boy Friday" and all, but I don't understand why you need an escort.
Chloe: I don't. I just thought a nice little field trip to the courthouse might help reignite that journalism spark.
Clark: I hate to break it [Chloe gives Clark a press pass] to you, but my ace-reporter days ended when I left The Torch.
Chloe: All right, then consider it a much needed get-off-the-farm pass. Look, Clark, I know this has been the year from hell -- and that was before you broke up with Lana. There are only so many days you can hole yourself up in that loft before I pull an intervention.
Clark: I am not holed up. It's just... ever since I found out Lionel knows my secret I've been waiting for a bomb to go off.
Chloe: Well, don't duck and cover just yet. For all we know, he may never even light the fuse.
Clark: This is Lionel Luthor we're talking about.

Clark: I guess this a bad time to ask for a favor?
Chloe: Are you kidding me? The amount of times you saved my butt you can pull a coin from the favor bank anytime you need. What's up?
Clark: Somebody sent me a 50-inch plasma with all the bells and whistles; forgot to sign the gift card.
Chloe: Clark, that's not a problem. That's winning the Trifecta. When's movie night?

[Clark and Chloe sneak into Lionel's office at night.]
Clark: Let's look for anything my dad might be warning me about.
Chloe: Okay, it might take a minute. I can't exactly search for a file called "My Evil Scheme".

[Clark is choking Lionel with Fine [as Jonathan] behind him]
Fine [as Jonathan]: Yeah, so go on, son, and avenge my death.

Lex: One more thing, Clark. Lana called me. I don't want to hear you rifling through her stuff like a crazy roommate again. If you want something from me, don't go running to Lana to find it. You really crossed the line.
Clark: All those years we were friends, were you just waiting for me to step aside, so you could swoop in and make your move?
Lex: I don't know, Clark. All those years you told Lana you loved her, were you just waiting to walk away and break her heart? Look, there's a natural tendency to blame the person who's replaced you. I get that. But I didn't take Lana from you. You lost her all by yourself.

Lois: I thought you would be outside Lana's dorm with your binoculars by now.
Clark: I appreciate your concern, but Lana and I are none of your business.
Lois: Please, Smallville, I've had three exes put under military surveillance. I'm hardly qualified to deal out post-relationship tact. But...it's for some tough love. Lana's going to move on.
Clark: She already has -- Lex.
Lois: And it sucks, but you gotta trust your gut that you did this for a reason. For whatever reasons guys have for dumping hot, smart, fun girls these days. Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole night-stalker routine? That's gonna any good feelings that Lana has for you.
Clark: If there are any.
Lois: Look, sometimes you gotta tuck your feelings away until it's the right time. Like stuffing dollars into a piggy bank for a bike you can't quite afford.
Clark: Except I can't quite imagine there is anyone is out there.
Lois: Oh, you never know, Clark. Even if you finally crack open that piggy bank, you found all this time you haven't been saving for a bike. You been really saving it for a Harley.
Clark: There are times when think you don't know me at all...and others where I think you know me better than anyone.
Lois: That's what I'm here for, Smallville -- one save at a time.

Clark: If you thought this friendship was so doomed from the beginning, then why did you fight so hard to keep it?
Lex: Because I wanted everything you had; the family, the inconspicuous life, the loyal girlfriend. Well, at least I walked away with the part you love the most.
