Kara Kent quotes from Smallville

Kara

The House of El has a lot of family secrets that nobody ever discussed. As humans would say, we were... dysfunctional.

Kara

[to Jonathan] Tell Kal-El what you did.

Clark

What kind of deal did you make, Dad?

Jonathan

I promised Jor-El that if he gave me the power to bring you back from Metropolis, that one day I would return you to him.

Martha

Jonathan, you didn't do that...

Jonathan

Martha, I had no idea it was going to be this soon.

Kara

I told you, Kal-El. They'll always betray you. Even the man you call your father.

Kara

Come with me, Kal-El. Come home.

Clark

This is my home.

Kara

I know it seems that way. But sooner or later, everyone you know here will lie, betray, or leave you.

Clark

No matter what you say, I'll never go with you.

Clark

Those doors would have opened if you had just waited!

Kara

We don't have time to wait for ancient technology. Between the two of us, we can cover more ground. Of course, it would help if you could defy gravity. Explain to me again why you can't fly.

Clark

I'm not sure.

Kara

I guess the humans were right, Kal-El. Girls do mature faster than boys.

Clark

It's all about control, which you don't have.

Kara

Me? Get back to me when you can fly, Earth boy.

Clark

Well, you're the one who almost lit up the whole fair.

Kara

Has anyone ever told you're a little uptight? You definitely get that from your father.

Kara

(wearing a bikini) Say hello to the next Miss Sweet Corn.

Clark

Uh, listen, uh, when I talked about fitting in, I was... thinking of something with more clothes. Th-this is definitely not blending in.

Kara

You mean "undercover".

Clark

Yes, exactly, and this is... not covered. Um, look, can you go change, please?

Kara

But, I-

Clark

Now!

Kara

Fine. (she superspeeds and changes quickly) You said "now".

Lana

Well, I guess I don't have to ask which side of the family you're from.

Jimmy

I used to sit in the backyard and try to pick up Martian signals on my dad's ham radio.

Kara

Umm, Martians use infrared, silly.

Clark

Then why has he [Brainiac] turned his attention toward you?

Kara

I don't know. But when we go up against him, it would be helpful if were on the same playing field. Or should I say sky?

Clark

Not helping.

Kara

I'm sorry, yeah, I know. It… but it's just really easy. Just up, up and away.

Kara Kent

It was a start.

Clark Kent

It's not flying if it's mostly falling.

Lois Lane

Somebody should put Godfrey in some serious restraints. Who knew Mr. Family Values had such a dark side?

Kara Kent

Godfrey's not so special. There's two sides to everyone... even heroes.

Kara Kent

It's critical that I get my image around the city, as soon as possible. You just have to trust me Kal-El. I'm doing this for you.

Clark Kent

Kara, this doesn't feel like much of a favor.

Kara Kent

I've searched so long for my mother, and I never found her. You and I are the last survivors of the House of El. And after everything that we've been through together, I had to come back to the one place in the universe that I had family.

Clark Kent

Well, what you are doing right now, flies in the face of how I've chosen to live on this planet my whole life. We both know that. Now if you really care about family, tell me what you doing here and stop avoiding the question!

Kara Kent

I didn't want to hurt you. Jor-El has given me a mission. I'm getting my powers and image around the city as part of it.

Clark Kent

He gave you a mission? What did he say?

Kara Kent

He's let you go, Kal-El. I'm sorry. He says, you're no longer his son.

Oliver Queen

I'm starting to regret not packing my intergalactic dictionary about now. No way these are Celtic.

Kara Kent

No. They're Apokolyptian.

Oliver Queen

(sees Kara trapped in a ray beam) You're Clark's cousin, Kara, right?

Kara Kent

Yeah.

Oliver Queen

How long have you been down here? I got to get you out.

Kara Kent

No, wait. It'll kill you. (throws a rock at the ray beam, rock disintegrates)

Oliver Queen

Right. Okay. There's got to be some way to turn off this death ray from hell.

Oliver Queen

So let me get this straight -- whoever wields the Bow of Orion can use it to vanquish darkness. Is that what you're saying?

Kara Kent

According to the prophecy, yeah.

Oliver Queen

Well, that's me. Think about it -- a bow, right? The medium is the message.

Kara Kent

You never told me why you were seeking it.

Oliver Queen

Well, promise you won't tell anyone, but I'm trying to change my fate. The Bow of Orion is the key. It worked for him, right?

Kara Kent

Only after he found the strength to turn away from the darkness, even though that meant turning away from his father.

Oliver Queen

Orion is Darkseid's son.

Kara Kent

Yes. He was raised by someone who believes in spreading the light instead of the darkness his birthfather created. And eventually he swore to serve that light instead.

Jor-El

There are two paths laid before you, Kara. You can leave Earth now and allow Kal-El to embrace his destiny, or you can stay and help him, risking the future of this planet.

Kara Kent

Kal-El and I have fought Darkseid before.

Jor-El

You involved Kal-El against my wishes. He was too weak then, and he was almost overcome by darkness. You have grown strong. Your will is no longer at the mercy of my command. You will need that strength to forge your own path. It is in your hands to choose.

Kara Kent

You want me to just walk away?

Jor-El

Kara, your own destiny is written. It is in another place and time. But this is Kal-El's battle, and he must fight it alone. Even though a time will come when he turns away from me, in the end, he will make the right decision. He is ready. This is his time.

Kara Kent

He's the only family I have left. I have to at least warn him.

Jor-El

Sometimes the greatest sacrifice a person can make is to give up what they hold most dear.
