Sheriff Nancy Adams quotes from Smallville

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.

Pete Ross

Clark Kent, convict.

Chloe Sullivan

Yeah, I know, when do you get fit for that orange jump suit? Or is it one size fits all?

Clark Kent

Forty hours of community service is not funny... it's an orange vest.

Chloe Sullivan

Oh, no! It's gonna clash with the plaid!

Pete Ross

Welcome to Smallville, where you stop the crime, you do the time.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

Very pithy. Maybe I should use that as my campaign slogan?

Sheriff Nancy Adams

Good work, Mr. Kent. It only took eight deputies and four cruisers to discover that that barn was as clean as my grandma's pantry.

Clark Kent

That couldn't be. I saw those license plates.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

The only plates in that barn were the ones in the kitchen sink. And none of the cars in there had VIN numbers even remotely similar to the ones you gave me.

Clark Kent

Sheriff, that's impossible.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

As usual, Mr. Kent, your information is about as accurate as the local weatherman. But I'm cutting you some slack this time because I've had my eye on Jason Dante for a while now, and he is one slippery fish. Next time you say there's a storm a-brewing, Mr. Kent, I better see some rain.

Clark Kent

We think it's some sort of a prank, Sheriff.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

You know, usually these situations originate a little closer to home than you'd expect. Any reason you might want to goose these boys with a little crank call, Miss Lang?

Clark Kent

Lana didn't have anything to do with this.

Sheriff Nancy Adams

You know, unless Miss Lang has grown several inches and developed an affinity for plaid, this would be a good time for you to pipe down.

Adams

Last time I checked, babies don't just fall out of the sky, Mr. Kent.

Clark

It left a 30-foot crater, Sheriff. How else would you explain it?

Adams

Well, I can't. That's why we're conducting a little something called an investigation.
