[Pete finds Clark's spaceship]
Pete: This thing's got extraterrestrial written all over it.
Clark: Yeah, I bet there's little green guys running around the cornfield too, Pete.
Pete: I'm serious, Clark. Have you ever seen anything like it?
Clark: If the aliens came to Earth, don't you think they'd find a place a little more exciting than Smallville?
Pete: No, no, no, think about it. Crop circles, cattle mutilation. They'd be like kids in a candy store here!

Pete: So you're some sort of... what? You're not a human?
Clark: I don't know what I am. I don't know where that ship brought me from. I just know that I grew up in Smallville, and everything that I care about and everyone that I care about is here.
Pete: If you care about me so much, how come you never told me sooner?
Clark: Pete, believe me, there wasn't a day that went by where I didn't want to tell you, but my parents thought it was too dangerous. Not just for me, but for anyone else who knew the truth.
Pete: You didn't think I could handle it?
Clark: Can you?
...
Clark: Pete, another reason why I didn't say anything is because I knew people would look at me the exact same way that you're looking at me right now.
Pete: And how's that?
Clark: Like a freak. Pete, I've tried my whole life just to blend in, to try and be more normal than anyone else. Would you just say something? Call me... call me an alien, call me a monster. I don't care, just say something.
Pete: It's like I don't even know you.

Pete: Sure, Chloe. I saw a spaceship. I even met an alien.
Chloe: Really? Would you like to describe it?
Pete: Actually he looks a lot like Clark.
Chloe: I thought aliens were little and green.
Pete: I guess things aren't always what you think they are.

Pete: What about the x-ray deal? Have you ever used it to look through a girls...

Clark: Well... maybe once.
Pete: That's my boy.

Martha: If the green meteor rocks affect Clark physically, maybe the red affects him emotionally.
Jonathan: It would sure explain his personality changes.

Clark: Hey, if you guys want to waste your life in this mud hole, that's your problem. I'm through being poor.
Jonathan: Listen, we might not have all the things that other people have, but I didn't think our family was about that!
Clark: With my abilities, I can make millions. Sports, TV... it's all waiting for me. You're the ones who have been forcing me to hide who I really am.
Jonathan: No! We are the ones who have been trying to protect you. We don't want anybody coming here and taking you away.
Clark: Protecting me? Using me. I'm just another piece of equipment to keep your little farm going.

Lionel: You seem to know a lot about me. You got a name?
Clark: Clark Kent.
Lionel: Jonathan and Martha Kent's son? As far as I know, they're good people. Salt of the earth. I'm astonished they'd raise such a blatantly aggressive offspring.
Clark: Well, if you like them so much, I'm sure they'll put you up. I hear they have a spare bedroom, and I know they could use the cash.
Lionel: You've got a lot to learn about tact, young man. But you speak your mind. That's good. It'll take you far.
Clark: Oh, I'm going to the top.

Martha: Are you all right?
Pete: Yeah. The doctor's say it's a hairline fracture, which is ironic because it hurts everywhere else except my hairline. Being part of this family should come with its own group health insurance.

Mr. Reynolds: A person is judged by the company they keep. In my experience, Lex Luthor doesn't have friends. He sees people as a means towards an end.
Clark: I don't think that's true.
Mr. Reynolds: Time will tell.

Mr. Reynolds: Time will tell.

Clark: Two progeria deaths in two days. What are the odds of that?
Chloe: I don't know. Lana wanted to cancel the Spirit Week party, but Principal Reynolds asked her not to. He said he wanted to keep things as normal as possible.
Pete: He obviously hasn't had his normal-meter reset for Smallville.

Martha: How can you be as fast as lightning and as slow as molasses all at the same time?
Clark: Sometimes, Mom, I'm even a mystery to myself.
Jonathan: Wait a minute, didn't I just fix your alarm clock recently?
Clark: Yeah, but I crushed it this morning hitting the snooze alarm. Guess I'm not much of a morning person.
Jonathan: Must have got that from your mother. You know, she could be late to her own wedding. In fact, she was late to her own wedding.
Martha: Not all of us were trained by roosters.

Lex: Ever wish you had a big brother to help you with your jump shot?
Clark: I think I've managed to become a pretty decent player on my own.
Lex: Rachel Dunleavy came to see me. She says you and I have a few chromosomes in common. My father's chromosomes to be exact.
Clark: You mean...
Lex: Personally, I think I got all the looks in the family.

Lana: I have done pretty well without a father this long. I don't know why I thought I needed one now.
Clark: I do. Lana, we're different. We don't get to see our biological parents every day, and see a little piece of who we are, who we may become. If I had a chance to get to know my birth parents, I wouldn't give up just because the first meeting didn't go the way I hoped.

Lex: So you staged a one-man prison break? How did you manage to get him out without anybody stopping you?
Clark: Just lucky, I guess.
Lex: You're the luckiest guy I've ever met. Let's hope it doesn't run out before tomorrow.

Lex: Clark, I understand what you're going through, but sometimes, no matter how much you want to save someone, there's nothing you can do.
Clark: I'm not gonna let Ryan down.
Lex: When my mother got sick, I spent all my time researching the best doctors and treatments. The most important thing I could've done was spend time with her. By the time I realized that, it was too late. I wasn't at her side when she passed, Clark. Don't make the same mistake I did.
Clark: I'm not going to let him die, Lex.

Ryan: Weren't they best friends?
Lex: Once upon a time.
Ryan: Well, what happened to them?
Lex: Well, they ruled the Guardian Realm together until Devilicus told Warrior Angel that they should join forces and conquer humanity. Together, no one would be able to stop them.
Ryan: What did Warrior Angel say?
Lex: He refused. He believed it was a hero's sacred duty to protect those weaker than himself. Devilicus thought he was naive and vowed to destroy him and everything he stood for.
Ryan: Why do you think Devilicus went bad?
Lex: I'm not sure. Probably wasn't aware of it. You see, Ryan, in life, the road to darkness is a journey, not a light switch.
Ryan: You should remember that, Lex.

Lex: I'm prepared to sacrifice it if that's what it takes to defeat you.
Mayor Tate: You know, you've got money, but you're not from here. People don't like you. All it'll take is some fiery campaign speeches about outside interests controlling this community and you'll start to feel the heat.
Lex: When Winston Churchill heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor, he broke out a bottle of champagne and said, "We've won the war." His generals looked at him like he'd lost his mind. America's pacific fleet was wiped out, France was overrun, and the Luftwaffe was bombing London. Churchill said America is like a giant boiler. Light a fire under it, and there's no limit to the amount of heat it can generate. If you start a fire, Mayor Tate, you better be prepared to deal with the flames.
