[Lex points to a breastplate with an "S" symbol.]
You know it belonged to Alexander the Great? They said the design symbolizes strength and courage.
I can't exactly see myself going into battle with that on my chest.
Darker times call for darker methods. His opponents thought he was invincible.
I didn't know you were such a history buff.
I'm not. I'm just interested in people who ruled the world before they were thirty.
Don't worry, Lex. You still have a few years to go.
It figures you'd side with her.
I'm not taking anyone's side.
Yeah right, Clark, you're completely objective in all things Lana.
He understands you may have certain negative feelings towards your father.
Sir Harry has always had an incredible grasp of the obvious.
Phelan came back after you were arrested. I got so angry that I grabbed him. And for a second, I wanted to... I wanted to kill him.
But you didn't, right?
Yeah, but I was close.
Believe me, son, I know all there is to know about losing your temper. But you can't afford to do it. This is Phelan's game, and he will play your fear and your anger but you cannot let him get to you.
I don't care. I won't let anybody hurt you and mom.
And he knows that. But once you cross that line, there's no going back.
Clark, what happened to you last night?
I wasn't feeling well. Guess I'm not much of a city guy.
You can take the boy off the farm but you can't take the farm out of the boy.
No, I think I'll play it by ear, you know, fly by the seat of my pants...
Clark, you're not the flying type.
Empires are not brought down by outside forces - they are destroyed by weaknesses from within.
[discussing the blood drive]
Clark, you know you can't donate.
I know, dad but what am I supposed to tell her?
That you have a problem with needles, which you technically do.
Great, not only do I lie, but I look like a wuss.
Have you ever got information that you wish you hadn't?
In my experience I've found you can never have too much information.
That's the thing about Clark Kent: he's not always there when you want him... but he's always there when you need him.
Don't do this. I'm your friend.
Oh please. You think I don't see the way your parents look at me? The way half the town looks at me? You're no different. Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect and fear are the best you can hope for.
I don't see myself being a farmer when I grow up.
What do you want to do?
I'm not sure. Just as long as it doesn't involve putting on a suit and doing a lot of flying.
Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird?
Never read it.
You should. You two have a lot in common. Small-town heroes. Believe in the truth. Not willing to back down.
How does it end?
It's not about the ending, it's about the journey.
What kills me is that I know that I'm right. I just wish I could get them to see it.
That, my friend, is the key to leadership. Not only knowing you're right, but convincing everyone else. If you can do that, the world's your oyster.
Do you know what it's like to have to hide because of who you are?
Yes, I do. But when you have a gift you can't just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.
You can learn a lot from someone you hate.
