Clark Kent quotes from Smallville

Clark

Alicia didn't do this. Ever since she was released from Belle Reve, she's been wearing her lead bracelet. It prevents her from using her abilities.

Lois

And did she also happen to be wearing anything low-cut when she spun you that tale, 'cause I'm not sure you're thinking with your big brain here.

Chloe

Clark, just because Alicia says that the bracelet keeps her from teleporting doesn't mean that it's the truth.

Clark

She was with me when Lana got attacked. I was saying good night in Grandville.

Chloe

Yeah, but every second? You have to admit that she can transport easier than Captain Kirk.

Lois

And she did try to carve herself a Jack-O-Lana before, cut and dry. Emphasis on the "cut".

Jonathan

Son, your girlfriend has problems and this relationship is not healthy. Why can't you see that?

Clark

You always told me to look for the good in people, to believe in them. And Alicia deserves a second chance.

Martha

What I don't understand is why do you continue to see her, knowing how we feel?

Clark

She kept my secret. She got shot protecting me. What else does she have to do to prove herself?

Clark

Everybody thinks it's you.

Alicia

Why, because of my powers? Because I'm a freak? You know what, Clark? Maybe if everybody knew your secret, you'd be a suspect too.

Clark

Lois, I don't think this is the best time.

Lois

And when would be the best time, Clark, when I'm on the chain gang?

Clark

[to Geoff] I'm sorry. She's under a lot of stress lately.

Lois

No. Stress is when you're stuck in traffic or you have a midterm for a class you've never been to. I'm out on bail and looking to be locked up for manslaughter.

Clark

I want to believe that I can go out there and play football like any normal college kid, but the fact is, I have powers that no other athlete has. Coop was right. It's not fair that Geoff was out there on that field, just like it's not fair when I'm out there competing. So I've decided to give up football.

Martha

Clark... I know how difficult it is to give up something you love.

Jonathan

But this decision you've made son, it shows integrity well beyond your years.

Clark

Then why don't I feel good about it?

Clark

So what're you gonna do? Are you gonna go stay with Chloe?

Lois

They've got a tiny one-bedroom apartment. I can't do that to them. It's fine, really, I'm just gonna check into a motel and when the money runs out, I can always sleep in my car. The backseat's not too bad if you bend your knees and avoid the drive train and then, you know, if I have to sell my car for food, that's okay too. I've always dreamed of being a hobo, riding the rails, cooking beans over roadside fires...

Clark

If you want, I guess you can stay with us.

Lois

You're a lifesaver! God, am I in need of a hot shower! Don't worry, Smallville. I'll try to keep it under a half hour.

Clark

What just happened?

Chloe

I'm proud of you, Clark.

Clark

You're proud of me? Why?

Chloe

I just have a feeling that you're destined to do a lot more in this world than just score touchdowns.

Clark

Chloe, you've been saying a lot of weird things to me lately. What makes you think I'm destined to do anything?

Chloe

Just a hunch.

Clark

Just playing with Skippy here.

Lois

We're not gonna call him Skippy.

Clark

Okay, Lois, what would you like to call him?

Lois

Let's see. He's annoying, and I can't seem to get within ten feet of him without getting sick... I think we should call him Clarkie.

Clark

We found this dog.

Lois

Actually, I found him. Well, hit him actually. Not hard. We call him Clarkie.

Clark

We don't call him Clarkie.

Lois

Is it the "ie" part you don't like? Because we could always just make it Clark. But then that would get really confusing, and hey, maybe you should consider changing your name. You could be Skipper.

Clark

Lois, call the police. I'm gonna see if I can catch up with these guys.

Lois

Hold on there, Forrest Gump. What are you gonna do, run? We brought my car, remember?

Clark

Lois, look--

Lois

Unh-unh. We can call the cops on the way. You are so weird sometimes.

Clark

[later, in the car] You know, can you go a little bit faster?

Lois

Hey, you were gonna be hoofing it about ten minutes ago. Besides, I don't want to hit anything.

Clark

Stop here.

Lois

Where?

Clark

Here! Stop here!

Lois

Okay!

Lois

I thought bathing him was supposed to help with my allergies.

Clark

Well, maybe you're allergic to the soap too.

Lois

Maybe I'm allergic to you.

Jor-El

I knew you would return, my son.

Clark

Why'd you send me to find this?

Jor-El

Because you may be the last survivor of a great civilization.

Clark

A great civilization that destroyed itself!

Jor-El

As will yours if you continue to refuse your mission. The knowledge of our civilization was encoded in three stones brought to Earth and hidden at the far reaches of the world. Greed will drive others to hunt the stones. But if the humans should unite them before you, they will not be able to withstand the temptation and will drive the world to famine, war, and the Earth's ultimate destruction. You must find the other two stones. The fate of your world lies in your hands... Kal-El.

Clark

Lana, what's going on?

Lana

Which part? The immaculate tattoo, the fact that I seem to be a harboring a 16th century witch, or that Jason and Lex took off with a map to uncover it all behind my back?

Clark

Why would they do that?

Lana

I don't know, but Jason said that we were gonna figure this out together. But it turns out he has a rather limited definition of "we".

Clark

Lana, whatever their motives are, I'm sure they still care about you.

Lana

That still doesn't change the fact that everybody seems to know more about me than I do.

Clark

It must be scary to think that someone out there has a plan for you, but you don't know what it is yet.

Clark

So, Lucy, Lois has told us absolutely nothing about you.

Well there's not much to tell.

Lois

Oh, please. Let me gloat. She is getting straight A's at one of the most prestigious prep schools in Europe, she is fluent in three languages, and she is fending off Ivy League colleges with a stick.

Clark

Wow, that's impressive. What happened to Lois?

Lois

You're gonna find that Clark's charm is an acquired taste, much like his sense of fashion.
