It seems like every person that I've ever gotten close to just leaves.
Yeah, it is. My parents, Nell, now Whitney. I know I haven't been a good friend.
You've been a great friend.
No, I have doubted you, accused you of things, and still you're here protecting me. I don't care if you have secrets, Clark. You are the one good, constant thing in my life and I don't want to lose you too.
Big Brother is listening, or should I say "Big Daddy"?
What are you saying, your dad's spying on you?
I had the inside track on a multi-million dollar contract. At the last minute, LuthorCorp manages to underbid me. You do the math.
Lex, you've got to calm down...
Don't tell me to calm down, Clark! How would you feel if someone were listening to every private word you uttered, learning all your secrets?
[to Lex] Look, I don't know how things work in your house, but around here, we think it's important to respect other people's privacy.
It's all right, Clark... Mr. Kent, ever since the day I moved to Smallville, I've done nothing but try to be a friend to you. And in return, you do nothing but lecture me with sanctimonious platitudes. I'm done listening to them.
Why don't you just let us go? You can avoid adding kidnapping to the breaking and entering charges!
You should listen to this woman. I find her advice invariably sound.
Clark, how did you get inside?
The boy's resourceful, Lex. What difference does it make how he did it? He saved us. That's what's important.
Dad. I want you to know I was doing everything I could to secure your release.
[sarcastically] Oh, I'm sure you did a great deal.
Wait. Are you sure that this is the best thing to do? Quit, I mean.
What do you mean? I thought you'd be happy about it.
If you hadn't been working for Lionel, then we'd have no way of knowing that he was keeping tabs on Clark.
So, instead of staying away from him...
Maybe we should take a page out of the Luthor playbook.
You can save the concerned son routine, Lex. I have everything under control.
The loyal lapdog sitting watch at his master's door, secretly hoping he doesn't make it?
As I recall, you almost let him die once. Who's to say you didn't try to finish the job? God knows after yesterday, you'd have enough reason to want him dead.
You know what I find so amusing about you, Dominic, is that you actually believe my father is grooming you.
It's unfortunate that they already have a suspect in custody. I can't think of a person with a better motive for killing your father than you.
If you were really ready to run LexCorp, there's no way I could have taken it from you. Look at this as an opportunity for us to work together again, father and son.
When I broke away from you, I swore I'd never be under your thumb again.
It's my hope that you'll stay and rise to the challenge.
Your ego wouldn't allow it. I'll fight you on this and I'll win.
You better have something stronger than words to back up those threats, son, because as of this moment you are just another employee.
So now you're implying I pulled the trigger?
It's not like I haven't seen you shoot someone before.
Get out of here before you say something you really regret.
I'm not going anywhere. Not until I get some answers. Are you trying to frame my dad?
After all this time, I thought you knew me better than the average tabloid reader.
If you don't start trusting me with the truth, what else am I supposed to think?
My dad's life is at stake here!
You grow up with someone, you think you know them, but... I mean, darkness like that just doesn't come out of nowhere... I'm sorry about your company. What's gonna happen next?
My father thinks I'll go back to work for him.
It's hard to imagine working for a man who can enrage four people to the point where any one of them had motive to kill him.
You know that darkness you were talking about? I'm not sure we're born with it. I think people like my father find a way to bring it out.
So you took an honest man and destroyed him. And by proxy, almost ruined Jonathan Kent. How does it feel, Dad, knowing you brought this on yourself?
But I didn't, Lex. You did... engineering your ill-advised employee coup.
And you actually believe that?
It's all right, son. I forgive you.
My feelings for Clark are so ancient, they're... they're fossilized!
Let's just say I'm not from around here.
[to Pete] You knew about this?
He's my brother... from another planet.
Whoa, wait a minute. I may be an alien, but I'm not a cartoon.
[to Lex] You know, I always wondered. For a boy who has all the money in the world, you'd think he could afford a good toupee.
