Lex: Interesting theory, Clark.
Clark: I know it sounds crazy, but that's what happened.
Lex: Now you're saving people in your dreams, too. I bet a shrink would have a field day with that scenario.

Lex: Legend has it this sword was forged in the fires of Mount Fuji. The blade can cut through anything. The Katai never took it into battle. They never had to, till the day the strongest Katai turned on his own. One by one, the Katai fell at his hand. Nothing left to lose, the last of the Katai lunged at the warrior with this sword. The blade cut him clean in two. But when the warrior's armor fell away, the Katai saw he wasn't even human.
[Lex strikes Clark with the sword, shattering it]
Lex: Just like you, Clark. See, I've always been honest with you. But it turns out you've been lying to me from the first day I laid eyes on you.
Clark: No, Lex, I can explain!
Lex: It's too late! The irony is all you had to do was come to me, Clark. I was your friend. I would've protected your secret. I would've protected you. But I couldn't be trusted because I'm a Luthor.
Clark: No, that's not it!
Lex: I don't care! I'm going to dedicate myself to ensuring the whole world knows who Clark Kent really is. Life as you know it is over.

Lana: Well, it's been like an oven outside, so I was thinking we could go swimming at Crater Lake.
Clark: Yeah... I really don't think skinny-dipping is a good idea.
Lana: Who said anything about skinny-dipping? Maybe in your dreams, Clark.
Clark: Yeah... I really don't think skinny-dipping is a good idea.

Clark: According to NASA the sun took a direct hit from a comet today, causing one of the biggest solar flares ever to be recorded.
Martha: Oh, you sound intrigued.
Clark: Actually it's a relief to be researching a cosmic disaster that has nothing to do with me.

White: I finally found my story.
Clark: For some insane reason, it's me. Chloe told me. I don't think it's funny.
White: Oh, it's not a joke, Clark. I got the facts to back it up.
Clark: What kind of facts are those?
White: The accident, the power lines, your magical appearance as your family tractor drops out of the sky.
Clark: I explained that.
White: "It fell off a truck." That's not an explanation, that's a punch line. I spent the morning combing through police records and newspaper stories. You're Johnny on the Spot, Clark. You're Smallville's own hero on deck.
Clark: Trust me, Mr. White, there's nothing special about me.
White: Oh, that's where you're wrong, kid. So far I got you pegged as really strong and shock-resistant. The question is, what other tricks have you got up your sleeve?

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: Mr. White, don't do this.
White: See, the way I figure it, you're strong, you're shockproof, you're incredibly fast. Plus you're cursed with this hero complex.
Clark: Yeah, why don't you come back down on the deck and we'll talk about that.
White: No. Not till I have my story.
Clark: Wait, Mr. White? Look, you're wrong about me.
White: I'm betting you'll save me, Clark.

White: Thanks again for the ride.
Clark: It's the only way I could be sure you'd get on the bus.
White: You really are kind of a freak, you know that?
Clark: Mr. White...
White: I'm serious. You try to help people, even fools like me, and you never ask for anything in return. When I saw your face up there after it was all over, I suddenly realized I was about to tear down a good person. I just couldn't believe there was actually anyone like you out there.
Clark: Trust me, Mr. White, I'm not that good.
Clark: It's the only way I could be sure you'd get on the bus.

Clark: Something tells me the world hasn't seen the last of Perry White.
White: Something tells me you're right. Rumor has it I still have a friend or two on the Daily Planet. Oh, by the way, I went over a couple more of your Torch stories.
Clark: And?
White: Well, they're rough, and half the time you buried the lead, but I see a glimmer of hope. If you ever make it to Metropolis, look me up. I owe you one.

Lana: Why would he lie to me? It's not like he's gonna get the last 40 years of his life back.
Clark: Lana, convicted murderers spend half their day trying to convince people they're innocent.
Lana: Clark, that drawing looks exactly like you. So unless Dexter could've predicted the future, there's a pretty good chance that drifter was real. It could've been your grandfather. Even your father.
Clark: That's impossible.
Lana: Why? You must've come from somewhere. It's not like you just fell out of the sky.

Chloe: Since I caught the clerk and his girlfriend playing cops and robbers while on the job.

Chloe: You're a Luthor, so it's a given that you're unscrupulous, but I really thought that petty larceny was beneath you, Lex.
Lex: Can you be a little more specific with the charge?
Chloe: I caught some creep in my office trying steal one of my computers. I figured either you or your father hired him.
Lex: But you're accusing me.
Chloe: You're what they euphemistically call the lesser of two evils.
Lex: I admire your take-charge attitude. Barging in here and accusing me took guts... or sheer stupidity.

Lex: So you took the liberty of rewriting our family history?
Lionel: That's right. Why should I have to pay for the sins of my father?
Lex: Sounds familiar.

Lex: My father's been strangely stubborn about liquidating that property. Every market indicator says to sell, but he insists the neighborhood's about to be revitalized.
Chloe: The only thing being revitalized in that neighborhood is the graffiti.

Joe: When I said I wasn't from here, I wasn't talking about Smallville. Where I'm from we have colors that you've never seen. Our moons are so close they fill up half the sky. We have sunsets that last for hours.
TV Show: Smallville
Clark: I think Jor-El was sent here as some kind of rite of passage. Grandpa Kent was down here too. He told Joe that if there was anything he needed...
Jonathan: What is it, Clark?
Clark: I don't think you and Mom found me by accident... I think you were chosen.

Jonathan: Oh, something must be wrong if he stuck his head in the refrigerator and didn't eat the last piece of cherry pie.
Clark: It's nothing. It's just Lana. Seth Nelson asked her out.
Martha: What did she say?
Clark: She said yes so fast it gave me whiplash.
Jonathan: Look, Clark, jealousy is a tough emotion.
Clark: Dad, I'm not jealous!
Jonathan: Ah...
Clark: Well, maybe a little bit.

Chloe: How did he die?
Lex: Natural causes. Apparently his heart just gave out.
Chloe: And you believe that?
Lex: Given what he was looking into, I doubt there was anything natural about his death.
Chloe: How do I know you're not just playing me here?
Lex: [sarcastic] You're right, Chloe. I could be. I often bring high school girls to the morgue to show them what happens when trained professionals cross my father.
Chloe: Well, there's nothing in my files worth killing for.
Lex: We've got a corpse here that says you're wrong.

Lionel: How did you get in here, Lex?
Lex: Well, when people think you're insane and you're holding a rifle to their head, they, uh, tend to do what you ask.

Lex: You know what disappoints me, Dad?
Lionel: All right, tell me.
Lex: You hired pros to kill me. You always taught me, "If you want something done right, son, do it yourself!"

Edge: If we'd done it my way, you'd be dead by now.
Lex: What are you talking about?
Edge: You really believe you could have escaped if I wanted to kill you? It was your father's idea to make you look crazy instead.
Lex: You're lying!
Edge: It's true, Lex. Lionel's gone soft in his old age. He was willing to lose his parents, but he said he couldn't bear to lose another child.

Lionel: You know, I was never quite sure which of them was more out of touch with reality — Don Quixote, jousting with imaginary enemies, or his loyal lackey Sancho Panza, indulging his master's fantasies in spite of the danger to everyone else.

Adam: I think you're getting off way too easily.
Lana: Excuse me?
Adam: You have to learn to push through the pain. If we all sat down every time it hurt, this country never would've been built.
Lana: Well, I doubt the founding fathers broke their legs in four places.
Adam: What happened, bad pileup at cheerleading practice?
Lana: Excuse me?

Lionel: When your attempt to escape failed, you sabotaged my efforts to have you released, to be cared for at home.
Lex: But I told you. I'm cured. A cured patient doesn't belong in a hospital.
Lionel: Oh, it's painful to see you like this. You know I have your best interest at heart, don't you?
Lex: The only interest you have... is staying out of prison. I'm not insane, and you know it.
Lionel: It's sad to see a man who's lost his mind. But it's tragic when he's convinced himself that he's sane.

Pete: Clark, he knows your secret.
Clark: I can't let him turn Lex into a vegetable just for that.
Pete: You can't trust him.
Clark: And you've never given him a chance.
Pete: And you give him too many. You think it's easy keeping a lid on your secret? I've got to think about it every time we're around other people to make sure I don't slip. I've got to remember to say "meteor rock" instead of "kryptonite." And I always got to cover your unexplained exits.
Clark: Pete, I'm sorry. You've never said anything.
Pete: Clark, that's not the point. The point is that I got your back. But Lex won't.

Lana: One thing I learned from my accident is that you can't go through something like this alone.
Clark: Lana, just because I'm blind doesn't mean the issues between us have disappeared. This doesn't change anything.
Lana: I was just offering a helping hand, Clark. But I won't make that mistake again.
Pete: Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder obviously hasn't met the two of you.
