Ryan James quotes from Smallville

Ryan James

Are you sure you don't want to know how Lana feels about you?

Clark Kent

I prefer to find out on my own.

Ryan James

Clark, be careful of Lex. I know you like him, but there's a lot of darkness he keeps from the world. I've seen it in his head.

Clark Kent

I like to believe in people's best.

Lex Luthor

Ryan, real life is not a comic book. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty, make compromises.

Ryan James

That's what your father told you. That doesn't mean it's right.

Ryan James

Weren't they best friends?

Lex Luthor

Once upon a time.

Ryan James

Well, what happened to them?

Lex Luthor

Well, they ruled the Guardian Realm together until Devilicus told Warrior Angel that they should join forces and conquer humanity. Together, no one would be able to stop them.

Ryan James

What did Warrior Angel say?

Lex Luthor

He refused. He believed it was a hero's sacred duty to protect those weaker than himself. Devilicus thought he was naive and vowed to destroy him and everything he stood for.

Ryan James

Why do you think Devilicus went bad?

Lex Luthor

I'm not sure. Probably wasn't aware of it. You see, Ryan, in life, the road to darkness is a journey, not a light switch.

Ryan James

You should remember that, Lex.
