Martha Kent quotes from Smallville

Clark Kent

I started to feel hot. And my eyes started to burn. All of a sudden, the spot I was staring at burst into flames.

Martha Kent

Just by looking at it?

Clark Kent

Hello? Hi, I'm Clark, I'm the kid who can lift up tractors and see through walls.

Martha Kent

My son is in jail. And your wife put him there.

Lex Luthor

Maybe these fires were a cry for help.

Martha Kent

Is that you talking, or is Mrs. Luthor talking through you?

Lex Luthor

Mrs. Kent, I would never ask you to take sides against your husband, please don't ask me to doubt my wife.

Martha Kent

Any good relationship relies on trust, but there has to be room to disagree. Like the way Jonathan and I disagreed about you. He couldn't see past the Luthor name, but I always thought you were truly trying to be a friend to Clark. Now I'm beginning to think Jonathan was right all along.

Martha Kent

I think our not so normal son might be going through some classic teenage rebellion.

Jonathan Kent

Well, I think I liked dealing with heat vision a lot better than that.

Martha Kent

If the green meteor rocks affect Clark physically, maybe the red affects him emotionally.

Jonathan Kent

It would sure explain his personality changes.

Martha Kent

The longer he's exposed to the green meteors, the worse he gets. If the same is true with the red rocks, then God help us all.

Martha Kent

Are you all right?

Pete Ross

Yeah. The doctor's say it's a hairline fracture, which is ironic because it hurts everywhere else except my hairline. Being part of this family should come with its own group health insurance.

Martha Kent

How can you be as fast as lightning and as slow as molasses all at the same time?

Clark Kent

Sometimes, Mom, I'm even a mystery to myself.

Jonathan Kent

Wait a minute, didn't I just fix your alarm clock recently?

Clark Kent

Yeah, but I crushed it this morning hitting the snooze alarm. Guess I'm not much of a morning person.

Jonathan Kent

Must have got that from your mother. You know, she could be late to her own wedding. In fact, she was late to her own wedding.

Martha Kent

Not all of us were trained by roosters.

Martha Kent

Sweetheart, are you all right?

Clark Kent

I just can't help thinking that... Whitney's skin wasn't bulletproof. His bones weren't unbreakable, but he still put himself in harm's way so the world could be safer. I wonder if I didn't have my abilities if I'd have that same kind of courage.

Jonathan Kent

Son, there is no doubt in our minds that you would.

Martha Kent

Why don't you just let us go? You can avoid adding kidnapping to the breaking and entering charges!

Lionel Luthor

You should listen to this woman. I find her advice invariably sound.

Jonathan Kent

Wait. Are you sure that this is the best thing to do? Quit, I mean.

Martha Kent

What do you mean? I thought you'd be happy about it.

Jonathan Kent

If you hadn't been working for Lionel, then we'd have no way of knowing that he was keeping tabs on Clark.

Martha Kent

So, instead of staying away from him...

Jonathan Kent

Maybe we should take a page out of the Luthor playbook.

Jonathan Kent

Sheriff, we know our son and Clark would never deliberately hurt anybody. I'm sure whatever he did, he did it 'cause he thought he had to.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

By throwing another young man across my police car? I ran a complete check on your son, Mr. Kent. He's been at more crime scenes than Eliot Ness.

Martha Kent

If Clark's been involved with police business, it's only because he was trying to help people.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

Or maybe he's got some kind of hero complex? I mean, even heroes got to play by the rules.

Jonathan Kent

You did throw him into that car, Clark.

Clark Kent

Maybe this is where it all starts. Remember what it said in the spaceship? "They're a flawed race. Rule them with strength".

Jonathan Kent

Son, I got into a lot of fights when I was your age too, believe me. But, Clark, these are not alien feelings. What you have to remember under these circumstances is that there are consequences.

Martha Kent

Your father's right. You don't make decisions in a split second that you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Jonathan Kent

Clark, it's true. We are a flawed race, sure. But we're a flawed race that raised you. You're a lot more human than you think.

Martha Kent

Whatever your biological father may have had in mind for you, they're his hopes and dreams, not yours.

Jonathan Kent

Clark, you choose your own destiny. Nobody can decide that for you, son.

Clark Kent

This is my home. And you're my parents. It's where I belong, and I'm not going anywhere.

Clark Kent

According to NASA the sun took a direct hit from a comet today, causing one of the biggest solar flares ever to be recorded.

Martha

Oh, you sound intrigued.

Clark Kent

Actually it's a relief to be researching a cosmic disaster that has nothing to do with me.

Jonathan Kent

Oh, something must be wrong if he stuck his head in the refrigerator and didn't eat the last piece of cherry pie.

Clark Kent

It's nothing. It's just Lana. Seth Nelson asked her out.

Martha Kent

What did she say?

Clark Kent

She said yes so fast it gave me whiplash.

Jonathan Kent

Look, Clark, jealousy is a tough emotion.

Clark Kent

Dad, I'm not jealous!

Jonathan Kent

Ah...

Clark Kent

Well, maybe a little bit.

Martha Kent

You're awfully quiet today.

Clark Kent

Having someone tell you you can change destiny is a lot to handle.
