TV show quotes
You don't think he's really an alien, do you?
No. But wouldn't it be awesome if he was, though?
Yeah, it'd be the story of the century, wouldn't it?
This isn't about Pulitzers, Clark. I mean, can you imagine being from another planet? The experiences you could share?
It wouldn't freak you out?
Compared to most people, I think aliens would be a step up.
I never figured you for having an identity crisis, Clark.
It's for a friend.
Haven't heard that one before. What's your friend's problem? Napoleon or Messiah complex?
Actually he thinks he's an alien.
So that proves he isn't... come on, Clark, if you were really an alien would you go around telling people about it?
Probably not.
Let me guess. Your friend, he's a little odd. Spends a lot of time alone, thinks no one understands him. I just described myself in high school. It's a classic outsider profile. I'd say he's just trying to get attention. You believe there are aliens among us, Clark?
Trust me. This kid is more David Blaine than he is Wall of Weird.
All right, well, that still doesn't explain how he cured Tyson.
Yeah, I haven't figured that one out yet. But I'd be willing to bet that he faked that one too somehow.
No, I was there. It was real.
Okay, well, I'm not discounting the possibility that he may have some magic healing power. But if he does, it's probably byproduct of meteorite poisoning. He is no more extraterrestrial than you are.
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.
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.
If Clark's been involved with police business, it's only because he was trying to help people.
Or maybe he's got some kind of hero complex? I mean, even heroes got to play by the rules.
Clark Kent, convict.
Yeah, I know, when do you get fit for that orange jump suit? Or is it one size fits all?
Forty hours of community service is not funny... it's an orange vest.
Oh, no! It's gonna clash with the plaid!
Welcome to Smallville, where you stop the crime, you do the time.
Very pithy. Maybe I should use that as my campaign slogan?
Lana, I know what it's like to feel vulnerable.
You?
Trust me. Eccentric bald kids sit pretty low on the prep school totem pole.
You did throw him into that car, Clark.
Maybe this is where it all starts. Remember what it said in the spaceship? "They're a flawed race. Rule them with strength".
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.
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.
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.
Lex has a way of bringing out a side of me that's both scary and liberating at the same time.
Well, you know the first rule of self defense is to avoid conflict.
Relax, Clark, I'm not about to go prowling the night fighting crime. I'll leave that to the expert.
Well, you can trust me, there's no future in fighting crime unless you enjoy being sued.
My article about the debate team. Oh, Chloe, I'm really sorry. I'll give it to you first thing tomorrow morning.
Well, unfortunately Clark, I needed it tonight. To fill in the hole, I had to blow up the lunch menu to a 60-point type. I'm sure the student body is going to find that fascinating.
I guess some small part of me is still getting used to all this.
What, dropping by for a casual visit with your daughter?
No, entering a business co-owned by a Luthor without an injunction in my hand.
What are you doing out of jail?
Seems I've got friends in higher places that I didn't even know about. And suddenly, you're not so anonymous.
I'll testify, if that's what it takes to put you away.
Oh no, I'd think about that Kent. I mean, I know you're unbreakable, but people that you care about aren't. I'd sure hate to think something happened to those wholesome parents of yours.
Dad, look around. Look at what they did to this place. You said yourself I can't protect you. You have to think of Mom. You have to think about the baby.
I am thinking about Mom. I am thinking about the baby. I'm also thinking about you.
Dad, please! Please.
All right, I'll take your mother to a doctor in Metropolis, and maybe stay with your grandfather for a couple days. Son, I'd feel a whole hell of a lot better if you'd agree to come with us.
I can't.
Clark, I'm not going to stand here and ask you to do nothing because you and I both know that I would not do nothing. But I want you to remember something son. They have your strength, but they don't have any of your other abilities. You make sure you give yourself a fighting chance.
I don't understand why the most powerful man in the city is interested in helping me.
We're after the same thing, Miss Sullivan... the truth. You know, journalists are the midwives of history. Perhaps, with my help, we could make history together.
If this is the mysterious Lana, I like it. What is this all about?
Us, kind of. I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. There were a few minutes there when I really thought I might be losing it. But, you never doubted me. Not for a second. You always believe in me. Thanks a lot.
Lana, what is this all about?
It's just that sometimes I feel like you've created this perfect picture of who I am.
That's what I see.
This might sound silly... but I have this fear that-- that one day you'll finally get a good look at me and... I'm going to disappoint you. That you'll see that I'm not as strong or as good as you think I am. And I'm afraid that it'll change the way you feel about me.
Nothing could ever do that.
I wanted to give you my gift in person, since it's obvious by now that I won't be receiving a wedding invitation.
You offered the woman I love a hundred thousand dollars to leave me.
I did you a favor, Lex. That was the ultimate test of loyalty and she passed with flying colors. You should be thanking me.
Well, my thank you note must be lost in the mail along with your invitation.
