Lana Lang quotes from Smallville

Lana Lang

Well, it's been like an oven outside, so I was thinking we could go swimming at Crater Lake.

Clark Kent

Yeah... I really don't think skinny-dipping is a good idea.

Lana Lang

Who said anything about skinny-dipping? Maybe in your dreams, Clark.

Lana Lang

Why would he lie to me? It's not like he's gonna get the last 40 years of his life back.

Clark Kent

Lana, convicted murderers spend half their day trying to convince people they're innocent.

Lana Lang

Clark, that drawing looks exactly like you. So unless Dexter could've predicted the future, there's a pretty good chance that drifter was real. It could've been your grandfather. Even your father.

Clark Kent

That's impossible.

Lana Lang

Why? You must've come from somewhere. It's not like you just fell out of the sky.

Adam Knight

I think you're getting off way too easily.

Lana Lang

Excuse me?

Adam Knight

You have to learn to push through the pain. If we all sat down every time it hurt, this country never would've been built.

Lana Lang

Well, I doubt the founding fathers broke their legs in four places.

Adam Knight

What happened, bad pileup at cheerleading practice?

Lana Lang

One thing I learned from my accident is that you can't go through something like this alone.

Clark Kent

Lana, just because I'm blind doesn't mean the issues between us have disappeared. This doesn't change anything.

Lana Lang

I was just offering a helping hand, Clark. But I won't make that mistake again.

Pete Ross

Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder obviously hasn't met the two of you.

Lana Lang

What do you think?

Adam Knight

I think Norman Bates would be right at home here.

Lana Lang

Jordan, I brought your homework.

Clark Kent

[to Jordan] Why do I get the feeling you've replaced me as your mentor?

Lana Lang

I've offered to help Jordan get back on his feet, and he is going to help me become faster on mine.

Clark Kent

I think you're getting the hang of this high school thing.

Lana Lang

I should've said something about Adam sooner. I feel so guilty.

Clark Kent

None of this was your fault.

Lana Lang

Still, I let him threaten me into silence.

Clark Kent

Because you knew it would put people in danger. I understand keeping secrets for that reason.

Lana Lang

Clark, there's still something I don't understand. How did you get from the hotline to the storage unit in a split second?

Clark Kent

It took me more than a few seconds... maybe it had something to do with the weird time anomaly. You know, there's something that I don't understand either. Why did you call the hotline instead of the police?

Lana Lang

Because I knew you'd be there.

Lex Luthor

Look, I'm afraid I'm a little jaded in the romance department. The only thing I know about relationships is that someone usually winds up getting hurt.

Lana Lang

And you don't think I can trust Clark to not do that.

Lex Luthor

I don't think it's about trust. It's like the German poet Rilke said, "A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them. They're who they've been throughout your whole relationship".

Lana

Emily, you can't just force someone to be your friend. It's something that happens over time when you trust each other.

I know what a friend is. A friend is someone who would stand up for you and protect you. A friend is someone who would jump in a river to save you from drowning, even if it meant they had to give up their own life for you. You don't need to tell me what it means to be a friend.

Lana

Then you know that a friend would never keep me locked up in here.

Get used to it. I did.

Jason

Oh, sorry. Your American, right?

Lana

Yes.

Jason

Great. Can I ask you a big favour?

Lana

Sure...as long as it doesn't get me arrested.

Jason

No, I'm supposed to meet my, uh, my girlfriend here. Well, she's not really my girlfriend, even though we spend every waking moment together. See, we met two months ago today on this exact street corner, and I bought her something to mark the occasion. I wanted to get your opinion.

Lana

All right.

Jason

Okay.

Lana

Well, I think that would probably be the last thing she would be expecting.

Jason

It doesn't really scream "romance" does it? But, see, the first time we met, I was driving by on my Vespa, and I clipped her. She thought I was gonna steal her purse so she kicked me off my bike. I messed up an old football injury and then she spent five hours with me at the hospital and we just clicked.

Lana

Well, it sounds like love at first crash.

Jason

Yeah. Well, for me it was anyway, but I'm just an impulsive kind of guy.

Lana

Well, how does she feel?

Jason

I don't know. She doesn't really talk about it. I think she, uh, I think she got hurt by somebody, but maybe she needs to talk about it.

Lana

Well, uh, nothing says "I love you" like a motorcycle helmet.

Jason

Yeah. It's for a weekend trip to Nice if she's... if she's interested.

Lana

If a guy did something that romantic for me, I think I'd have to kiss him.

Jason

Yeah?

Lana

Yeah.

Lana

I keep thinking of all the times that you've told me that I'm beautiful, and I can't help but wonder how much of me you really see.

Jason

Lana, I tell you you're beautiful because of who you are, not because of what I see. I mean, you're the girl I flew halfway across the world to be with. The girl who kicks the crap out of me at Xbox and thinks it's hysterical. I mean, I have seen you with the stomach flu where your eyes were puffy and your nose was running, you're yakking--

Lana

Okay, okay. I get the picture.

Jason

All I'm saying is the reasons I love you... it's not something you can see in a mirror... That's good. I'm gonna write that down and use that later.

Clark

Isobel was... aggressively sexy.

Lana

Oh great, possessed by an evil slut.

Lex

You leave quite a path of destruction.

Lana

Lex. I was going to come see you.

Lex

Preemptive strike. Just in case there was any evil dead action still brewing.

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".
