Quotes 

• Clark Kent : I helped the Luthors get a foothold on this community. The smokestacks, the toxic dumping, all the people who were cheated, including Pete's family; none of that would have happened if it weren't for me.

  Clark Kent : Dad, you couldn't have known.

  Jonathan Kent : No, I should've known, Clark. I knew exactly what kind of a man Lionel Luthor was.

  Clark Kent : Why didn't you tell me?

  Jonathan Kent : 'Cause I knew that you would do exactly what you're doing, which is blame yourself.

  Clark Kent : You were trying to protect me. It is my fault.

  Jonathan Kent : No. You never believe that. This was my decision, this is my fault. Mine alone.

• Lana Lang : Do you remember that guy in the photo with my mom? I kind of found out who he was. His name's Henry Small. I went to his house.

  Clark Kent : How'd it go?

  Lana Lang : Well, uh... he hates the Talon, hates the Luthors, compared me to the Nazis, and told me to never come back again.

• Clark Kent : Chloe. I'm so glad I found you.

  Chloe Sullivan : Okay, there's a sentence I never thought I'd hear again.

  Clark Kent : We both did and said things that we regret. I know I did.

  Chloe Sullivan : Look, you have to believe that I would burn my press pass if I thought it would come between us.

  Clark Kent : No, you wouldn't. It's too much of who you are, and right now I need it.

• Clark Kent : Chloe, what I said about your mother, I was way out of line.

  Chloe Sullivan : It's cool. We all have family secrets, I guess. She left when I was five, so... I came downstairs and there was my dad trying to make waffles. He never even really explained why she left. It was weird.

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry.

  Chloe Sullivan : It's just hard thinking you weren't good enough for someone to love.

  Clark Kent : [taking her hand]  Don't ever think that.

• Lex Luthor : 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 Kent : You mean...?

  Lex Luthor : Personally, I think I got all the looks in the family.

  Clark Kent : Lex, I don't know what happened between her and your father, but... she's not my mother.

  Lex Luthor : Trust me, I'm as skeptical about her as you are. For all I know, this is some elaborate scheme to win a paternity suit against my father.

  Clark Kent : Did you ask him about it?

  Lex Luthor : I didn't want to make any accusations until I had more facts. It's not hard to imagine; in the annals of extramarital exploits, my father probably has his own chapter.

• Clark Kent : Why are you so obsessed about my mother? Do I ask you questions about yours?

  Chloe Sullivan : No, I guess not.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, that's because she hasn't shown her face here in years. If you want to find somebody's mother, find your own.

  Chloe Sullivan : [near tears]  I know where she is, Clark! The difference is she's not interested in me.

• Lex Luthor : So, what do you think, Clark? No chance we could be brothers?

  Clark Kent : As cool as that would be, Lex, we're not.

• Clark Kent : Dominic told me you got in a fight with your father before he got shot. Why didn't you tell the police?

  Lex Luthor : So you're implying I pulled the trigger?

  Clark Kent : It's not like I haven't seen you shot someone before.

  Lex Luthor : Get out of here before you say something you'll really regret.

  Clark Kent : I'm not going anywhere, not until I get some answers. Are you trying to frame my dad?

  Lex Luthor : After all this time, I thought you knew me better than the average tabloid reader.

  Clark Kent : If you don't start trusting me the truth, what else am I to think?

  Lex Luthor : Stay out of it, Clark

  Clark Kent : My dad's life's at stake here!

  Lex Luthor : So is my father's. Goodbye, Clark.
