Clark, I'm a writer. If I was going to kill myself, I would've written one hell of a suicide note.

[Clark confronts Lana's mysterious car-crash "victim" outside the hospital.]
She said she hit you full on and you're not even hurt. How'd you manage that?
Milk. Does a body good.
[Clark bursts in on Lex.]
We need to talk!
And you should work on your entrance, Clark. Bit abrupt, don't you think?
What do you know about Syntechnics?
See, now that's exactly what I mean. No small talk, no pleasantries — just straight to the accusations.
I haven't accused you of anything.
You don't have to. Your, uh, righteous tone says it all. So what am I have supposed to have done this time?
I'd say thank you, but... the words just seem too small.
And completely unnecessary.
Your mom raised you modest, didn't she?
Every single one of us has gone through some sort of an identity crisis at one point or another. It's like a rite of passage in Smallville.
I just don't get it. I mean, if it was Red "K", you wouldn't be doing chores. And if it was Silver "K", you'd be afraid that pitchfork over there would turn you into a shish kabob.
Oh my God. I just knocked out Martha Kent.
Well, considering she was about to redecorate her wallpaper with my brain matter, I don't think you had a choice!
Clark, you've been hypnotized. How else could you throw me across the room like that?
Face it, Clark is no different then any other red-blooded male. His brain is not his commanding officer.
[to Clark] This is your destiny, son. You are going to touch the lives of so many people. Not just as a man, but as a symbol. You're a symbol of peace. You're a symbol of justice. And now it's time for you to go.
Is this going to be another apology?
Well, they don't make a card for "Sorry I got you killed".
You died because of me. When Jor-El brought me back to life and restored my powers... he told me there'd be a price - the life of someone I love. I'm sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry.
Clark... believe me you have nothing to be sorry about. I lived a full, wonderful life. I had everything a husband or a father could ever possibly dream of. I am so very proud that I died protecting you.
Protecting me from what?
Lionel Luthor, Clark. He knows your secret. He knows everything. You can't stay here, son. You've got to keep your mother safe. You've got to keep the whole world safe.
Well I'll reach out to my source and see if they know anything else. Clark, don't worry about it. You won the first fight. My money's on you in the rematch.
Chloe, I don't think Fine is the only thing we need to worry about. When I was injected with the serum and died, I saw my father.
Oh my God, Clark.
Yeah, he told me there's someone else who knows my secret - Lionel Luthor.
Well you can't be sure. I mean what you saw it could have been a hallucination. You know a manifestation of your desires and fears.
Chloe, I could feel my father. It was real. I know it in my heart.
LLillian
What was it then that brought you to me? Oh yes, you were shot coming out of a meeting with the man you hired to destroy Jonathan Kent's reputation, so you could become senator. How'd that turn out, by the way?
If you're really my dead mother, wouldn't you know?
LLillian
It was a rhetorical question, Alexander; of course I know.
Chloe, if my parents hadn't found me in that field, it could have been me in the foster care system, scaring people with my powers, being accused of crimes I didn't commit.
Yeah, and Clark, one of your greatest powers is your unrelenting faith in people.
