Mike Farrell: Jonathan Kent

Quotes 

• Martha Kent : That was Lana. Third time tonight, Clark. Won't you talk to her?

  Teenage Clark Kent : Oh, what can I say, Ma? I don't even know how it happened. Suddenly, I was running faster than I've ever run in my life. I ripped the camper apart like it was cardboard. And the fire never touched me. I've always felt I was different, even before you and Pa told me I was adopted, but how is it possible to do these things?

  Jonathan Kent : I think it's time, Martha.

  [cut to them leading Clark into the barn] 

  Jonathan Kent : [opening a crate]  We never showed you this, son. I guess we didn't know how to explain it. Still don't.

  [Clark sees his Kryptonian ship] 

  Jonathan Kent : You know how some babies are found in baskets? Well, this is how we found you.

  Teenage Clark Kent : You're kidding, right?

  [seeing their looks] 

  Teenage Clark Kent : You're not. So... where did I come from?

  Martha Kent : We don't know. There wasn't much inside. Just some blankets and... this.

  Jonathan Kent : [showing him a metal box]  Never could get the darn thing open. Maybe you've got the magic touch.

• Jonathan Kent : Put that thing back. We don't know where it came from.

  Martha Kent : He's not a thing, Jonathan, he's a baby! A little baby. Who'd put a baby in a spaceship?

  Jonathan Kent : That's just my point. It could be Russian, a Sputnik baby.

  Martha Kent : Oh, really!

  Jonathan Kent : Maybe he's one of ours. You think NASA is missing a kid?

  Martha Kent : I don't care where he came from. All I know is he needs us, Jonathan.

• Teenage Clark Kent : [bending a metal bar]  Getting stronger every day, Pa. And that's not the half of it. Look.

  [focusing on it, he melts a section with his heat vision] 

  Jonathan Kent : It's getting hot. All you did was look at it.

  Teenage Clark Kent : I know.

• Jor-El : By the time you see this, our world will have been gone for many years.

  Lara : You are the sole survivor of Krypton, a planet similar to Earth in many ways. This was our home.

  Teenage Clark Kent : No. No, it can't be true.

  Martha Kent : It's hurting him.

  Jonathan Kent : Let him be, Martha.

  Jor-El : You may have already discovered that you are much stronger and faster than a normal human being.

  Teenage Clark Kent : I *am* a normal human being.

  Lara : Your Kryptonian body draws its strength from Earth's yellow sun.

  Jor-El : It will give you abilities that no other human has.

  Teenage Clark Kent : I don't believe any of this.

  Lara : Some people will fear you, perhaps even try to destroy you. Despite this, you must never use your powers in anger.

  Jor-El : Be brave, my son. Remember who you are and the legacy you carry inside you.

  Lara : We love you, Kal-El, always.

  Teenage Clark Kent : [as he reaches out to touch her hand, the message ends]  It's not true. I'm not a freak. I'm not! I'm not!

  Martha Kent : [he punches a wooden beam in anger]  Clark!

  Jonathan Kent : [he runs away]  Clark, come back!

• Jonathan Kent : [finding the baby Kal-El]  Cute little fella. Got a good grip, too. Ow.

  [Kal squeezes a little too hard] 

  Jonathan Kent : Ow!

  Martha Kent : What do you think of the name Christopher?

  Jonathan Kent : Now, Martha, let's discuss this.

  Martha Kent : Or Kevin?

  Jonathan Kent : Martha!

  Martha Kent : Or Kirk. I know we can use my maiden name. What do you think of...

  Ms. Stevenson : [cut to Clark daydreaming in class]  Clark! Clark Kent!

  Teenage Clark Kent : Y-Yes, Ms. Stevenson?

  Ms. Stevenson : Looks like you've daydreamed your way to another perfect score.

  Lana Lang : Once again, the boy genius performs to his usual standards.

  Ms. Stevenson : And so did you, Ms. Lang.

  Lana Lang : [seeing she got a D-]  Ooh.

• [first lines] 

  Jonathan Kent : Holy Christmas.
