“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

You suffer from paranoid schizophrenia. You have for a number of years... after the death of your birth parents in the Smallville meteor shower.

Clark

See, it's not true. My birth parents were out of town for the meteor shower.

You were placed in the wonderful adoptive home of the Kents. But like many children, you invented a make-believe world to help you deal with the trauma you endured. You convinced yourself that you came from another planet, that you possessed special powers and you used them to save humanity.

John

You're not crazy, Kal-El. We don't have much time, so listen to me closely. I believe you're from another planet.

Clark

What makes you say that?

John

Because like you, I'm not from here. I come from Mars. You can't trust anyone.

Clark

I know who I am!

I'm not sure you do. Your name is Clark Kent, not Kal-El. And Jor-El isn't your father.

[over an intercom] Dr. Fine, Dr. Milton Fine, please report to level three, stat.

When the human mind has faced tremendous emotional pain, it has no choice but to protect itself. You've taken bits and pieces of your surroundings and created an alternate universe where you feel safe and secure. Clark... in a world where you truly have no power, you chose to give yourself superpowers.

Lana

Okay. Let's say that I am a hallucination... and that your world really does exist. I'm about to marry your greatest enemy. You're an alien from another planet who's responsible for so much tragedy. Do you really want to live in that reality?

Clark

I don't know what to believe anymore.

Lana

Don't you just want to take this treatment and be with me?

Clark

Of course I want to be with you... more than you could ever imagine.

Lana

Then stop fighting, please. You've lived like this for so long, carried this burden of being a hero. It's time to just let go and live a normal life.

Clark

I've never been normal.

Lana

Your destiny isn't to save the world, Clark. It's to be with me for the rest of our lives.

Lana

Are you gonna tell me? What's that look in your eye?

Clark

I had a dream about you last night.

Lana

I hope that it wasn't a nightmare.

Clark

No! We were 10 years old and I gave you a plastic ring from of a gumball machine in Quinn's Market.

Lana

That's sweet. What was the occasion?

Clark

It was an engagement ring.

Lana

So what happened next?

Clark

[speaking softly] I woke up....

Clark

The important part is... you were the one person who believed in me. I don't know what I'd do without you, Chloe.

Chloe

Oh, is this when I'm supposed to cue the Barry Manilow music?

Clark

What is it you always say about Valentine's Day? Oh, yeah. Our annual sneak peek at hell. That must have been before cupid struck.

Chloe

Don't you think after being trapped in a front seat to the Clark/Lana opera that I deserve a good V-Day?

Clark

You're the only person who can make me feel guilty, relieved, and a little sad all in one sentence.

Chloe

It's a gift.

Chloe

Lois and Clark?

Jimmy

You got to admit, they got chemistry.

Chloe

Yeah, so do nitroglycerin and peroxide, and I don't suggest putting them together.

Lois

Please tell me we weren't just set up.

Clark

Looks like it.

Lois

Us. That's like hot fudge and halibut.

Clark

I take it I'm the halibut.

Lois

Naturally.

Lois

Wait. I knew I'd kissed you before, in the alley. You're Green Arrow.

Clark

Hardly. I was just pretending to be so you wouldn't know it was Oliver.

Lois

Oliver? Oh, my god. All those times he disappeared... what is my deal with emotionally unavailable weekend warriors? Thank god I finally found a normal guy.

Clark

What do you mean "normal"? Oliver's not even in the same league as me.

Lois

You don't have to be macho just for me. I like the dorky farm boy thing.

Clark

Dorkier than a hood and a quiver? Just because I don't wear a costume and splash my face all over the papers-

Lois

Clark! So what if your signature move is driving a tractor? I think it's adorable.

Clark

You know, Lois, I think that it's time for you to meet the real Clark Kent.

Clark

[Taking Lana] C'mon Lana, if no one else in this room is gonna save you from Lex, then I will.

Lois

[Holding Clark] I don't think so, Lana is your past.. I'm your future.

Clark

This is the present.

Lana

I'm not a competition.

Clark

You are to Lex. He didn't tell you? He's always wanted everything I've ever had. And you were at the top of that list. You're just a trophy to him. And he's nothing but your consolation prize.

Jimmy

Look, Clark, despite our differences, I think that you're a decent guy. Chloe obviously thinks that you can walk on air, so... who am I to stand in the way?

Clark

Jimmy, hold on.

Jimmy

But if you hurt her, I don't care how impossibly gigantic you are, I will chop you down like a cherry tree. And that, ain't no lie.

Clark

It's nice to see that you'd risk ending up in traction to protect Chloe's honor.

Jimmy

A girl like that... worth spending the rest of my life in a body cast.

Clark

I feel the same way. As her friend. Nothing more, I swear.

Martha

[to Lana] If you're taking the Luthor name, I guess armed guards and dodging the press go with the gold ring.

Lex

Looks like you're working out some issues there.

Clark

Just doing a little honest work, Lex. You should try it sometime.

Lex

Why start now? My life's perfect.
