Smallville quotes

Jonathan Kent

Kids just don't fall out of the sky, Martha.

Martha Kent

Then where did he come from?

Jonathan Kent

I don't know. But he must have parents.

Martha Kent

Well, if he does, they're definitely not from Kansas.

Jonathan Kent

Sweetheart, we can't keep him. What are we gonna tell people? We found him out in a field?

Martha Kent

We didn't find him... he found us.

Lana Lang

Nietzsche? I didn't know you have a dark side, Clark.

Clark Kent

Doesn't everyone?

Lana Lang

So what are you: Man or Superman?

Clark Kent

I haven't figured it out yet.

Jonathan Kent

Your real parents weren't exactly from around... here.

Clark Kent

Where are they from?

Clark Kent

What are you trying to tell me, Dad? That I'm from another planet? [sarcastically] I suppose you stashed my spaceship in the attic?

Jonathan Kent

Actually, it's in the storm cellar.

Chloe Sullivan

Pete, do you want to take a commercial break from the soap opera in your head? I've told you a hundred times; I'm not interested in Clark.

Pete Ross

Your vehement denial has been duly noted!

Clark Kent

I didn't dive in after Lex's car! It hit me at 60 miles an hour! Does that sound normal to you? I'd give anything to be normal.

Clark Kent

You need to talk to Mom. I think I really freaked her out this time.

Jonathan Kent

You also made her really proud, Clark.

Clark Kent

Dad, something else happened to me this morning. When I woke up, I was... kind of floating.

Jonathan Kent

Floating?

Clark Kent

As soon as I woke up, I crashed. I mean, Dad, what's happening to me?

Jonathan Kent

I honestly don't know. As soon as you start breaking the law of gravity, we're definitely in uncharted territory.

Lex Luthor

[to Clark] Save any more lives on your way over? Keep it up and you could make a career out of it.

Chloe Sullivan

I hate it when you do that.

Clark Kent

Do what?

Chloe Sullivan

Just shut me out. It's like one minute, you're here; the next, you're gone. Clark, you're not outgrowing me as a friend, are you?

Clark Kent

Chloe, I could never outgrow you. Other than vertically.

Chloe Sullivan

It's amazing how far that Kent charm will get you.

Lana Lang

Life is about change, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful, but most of the time it's both.

Lex Luthor

The kid that Kent saved today?

Lana Lang

I just came back from seeing him. He's lucky Clark was there.

Lex Luthor

I know the feeling... kinda makes you wonder if you're with the right guy. One chucks footballs; the other helps save lives.

Lana Lang

For someone who just moved into town, you've got a lot of opinions.

Chloe Sullivan

Clark Kent is a football player and Lana Lang is a waitress.

Pete Ross

What's the matter with that?

Chloe Sullivan

Nothing, I just want to click my heels and get back to reality.

Lex Luthor

You both stood your ground and are doing what you want. I caved. You two have inspired me.

Clark Kent

[sarcastically] Oh yeah. Joining the football team and pouring some coffee. We're a couple of real rebels.

Lana Lang

Long live the revolution.

Lionel Luthor

You get one.

Lex Luthor

One what?

Lionel Luthor

One chance to defy me.

Lex Luthor

I can't figure out what you hate more -- the fact that my plan works, or that you didn't come up with it first.

Lionel Luthor

Just remember -- empires aren't built on clever bookkeeping.

Lex Luthor

Dad, you have no idea what I'm capable of.

Lex Luthor

My father sent me to Smallville because he'd rather surround himself with drones than people who challenge his archaic business practices.

Lionel Luthor

You know perfectly well how I feel about you.

Lex Luthor

Hence I'm at a crap factory in Smallville.

Lionel Luthor

Did you know the Caesars would send their sons to the furthest most corners of the empire so they could get an appreciation of how the world works?

Lex Luthor

Whatever helps you sleep at night, Dad.
