We've all done things we're not proud of. I just wish that Oliver didn't feel like he had to hide it from me.
You know, sometimes in order to protect the people we love, we keep secrets.
That is... totally retarded.

Making the wrong choices and living with the consequences... it's not easy, is it?
Speaking from experience, huh?
More than I'd like.
You know, we all make bad choices, Clark. All we can do is hope to make the right ones in the future, right?
Jimmy, this isn't a story. It's a hunch. Besides what were you doing playing stalker-azzi in the middle of the night following Lex Luthor around?
Being proactive, hopefully nailing a front-page shot. You don't think some back-alley hand-off is suspicious?
I think Lex Luthor getting out of bed in the morning is suspicious.
I haven't been the best son.
RRaya
Your father was hard on himself, too. He felt guilty that he couldn't save Krypton. His only redemption was sending you to save Earth.
Save it from what?
RRaya
Extinction. Your civilization is going to destroy itself, just like Krypton. You should know this. It was part of your training.
I haven't started my training. Now the Fortress is damaged. Jor-El tried to warn me, but I didn't listen. I mean, how could I trust someone who brought so much pain into my life?
RRaya
Pain is a part of anyone's journey, Kal-El. You can't escape it. You must accept your destiny.
BBaern
So this is Jor-El's famed Fortress of knowledge. I thought it'd be bigger.
It doesn't matter. You won't be staying long.
BBaern
Big talk, big man. I'm surprised you're still standing. I guess Jor-El was right about how the yellow sun affects you Kryptonian cockroaches. But I'm back. And now, I'm supersized. This is the perfect place for the fall of the House of El. Paying for the sins of your father can be a bitch.
It looks like Krypton gave us more than one hero.
Mom, I know how much you love me and how much dad... but I've always felt different. Because I am. And Raya was the first person I ever met who could really understand that. And I don't think I ever really thought about what I'd lost... a family, a whole race of people who were just like me. For the first time, I'm ready to stop running from who I really am... from my destiny.
What do you think is faster, an arrow or a bullet?
There's only one way to find out.
You're looking awfully healthy.
It's called exercise, Clark. It's something we mere mortals have to do from time to time.
According to the Daily Planet, the Green Arrow was shot last night.
If I was shot, don't you think I'd be laying in a hospital or a morgue? I'm not bulletproof like you are, Clark.
Apparently, you were too busy using your powers to bale hay than to realize there's a crime wave in Metropolis. Let me ask you a question. Are you ever gonna get off your ass and finally do something for a change?
I didn't come here to be insulted.
Well you know what? There's the door. I don't remember you being invited.
Oliver, what's going on with you?
Clark, I don't need to take advice from someone whose only worry in life is to protect his own identity.
Oliver, you're not a killer!
No, but he is, Clark. You and I both know the world's a better place without Lex Luthor.
That's not for us to decide.
What made you come to your senses?
Actually, you did. This whole time, I just wanted to be like Clark Kent, you know? I wanted to... I wanted to have the ability to bring justice to the world without having to worry about getting killed in the process. And then something occurred to me, and I realized that Clark Kent would never take another man's life. I came within an inch of doing just that. I'm not even in your league.
Oliver, you do a lot of good in this world. You don't need to be indestructible to be a hero.
[to Clark] Look, I understand that you feel like all these psychopathic space invaders are your fault, but you can't keep it all inside. You feel the need to carry the world on your shoulders, and that's noble. But there are other people out there who want to help you fight the good fight, and you need to let them in. Because sometimes even heroes need to be saved.
I thought I told you you're no longer a welcome guest at the mansion.
Trust me, Lex, I don't want to be here either. But after what you've done...
And exactly what did I do? Did I swat a fly with too much force?
Come on, Clark, you put a psycho killer away and you reunited a mother with her son. I mean, there are only so many hours in the day.
Well, see, that's the thing. No matter how many people I save, I can't solve the world's problems.
I don't know anyone else who does more for this world than you.
