Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• [trying to sneak Lana out of the house, Clark bumps into his parents] 

  Jonathan Kent : Lana, this is about a whole lot more than just you, so if you don't mind, I'd like to speak to my son alone, please.

  [Lana hurries out of the house] 

  Jonathan Kent : You sit down.

  Clark Kent : Just... just remember I am eighteen, and I've been in love with Lana since I was, like, seven, so it's not like we just rushed into something here.

  Martha Kent : Please tell me you were at least... safe.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, mom.

  Jonathan Kent : Safe? Safe has got nothing to do with this. You shouldn't be doing anything like this, especially not under our roof.

  Clark Kent : Oh, like you didn't do it?

  Jonathan Kent : Clark, there's a lot of conversations I never had with you, because I didn't think I needed to have 'em.

• Jonathan Kent : ...Now the hospital lost our son and we want to know how that's even possible.

  [Clark walks into the house and Jonathan and Martha gaze in shock of their resurrected son] 

  Jonathan Kent : ... I'll have to call you back.

  Martha Kent : Clark!

  [They all hug each other and pause for a moment] 

  Martha Kent : Jor-El gave you your powers back didn't he?

  Clark Kent : [With great sadness]  I'm not human anymore... it's the only way I could come back.

  [Walks a few steps from his parents in quiet reflection] 

  Clark Kent : The real sacrifice would have been not coming back at all.

  Jonathan Kent : After all that has happened Jor-El just offered to give you your powers back? He didn't ask for anything in return?

  Clark Kent : [Even though he knows different, with sadness]  No.
