Clark, couldn't the bone yard visit have waited till after the rain stopped?
It's the only way to disprove the zombie theory.
Yeah. Well, if this Emily girl really is a ghost I really don't think she'd appreciate you scoping out her coffin.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I like to think that I treat everyone at LuthorCorp as part of the family.
Well, that would explain the lack of loyalty.
All right, Lex, what's the crisis? One minute you want nothing to do with me and then I'm inundated with urgent messages.
How does it feel to play God, Dad?
I've been looking through every book from Socrates to Shakespeare trying find some who could put into words the way Lex and Helen feel about each other. But what I realize is, there are no words for it, that when you have it, you trust it, and you believe in it, take a chance on it, you're willing to sacrifice anything to keep it, no matter what the cost.
If you knew that Lex was keeping secrets from you, but he was being truthful about the important things like, um, like the way he feels about you...would that be enough?
I guess you have to decide. Is the part of themselves they're willing to share with you better than not having them in your life at all?
Okay. I know it's not your birthday for another seven minutes, but I wanted to surprise you.
You did.
I get the feeling it's not in a good way.
It's just it's not really my birthday. It's just some date that my parents picked off the calendar for the adoption papers.
Maybe some of us want to celebrate the day you came into our lives.
I never thought of it that way.
The wall, Doctor. What does it say?
FWDr. Frederick Walden
"The last son will rule the planet". Don't you see? It's Clark Kent!
I think that's a pretty big leap.
FWDr. Frederick Walden
No! I've never seen more clearly in my life. I know exactly what has to be done.
What is that, Doctor?
FWDr. Frederick Walden
We have to kill Clark Kent, before he destroys us all.
I'm going to rule the world? He's obviously nuts.
Of course he is. Unfortunately my father was there. He heard the whole thing.
But he didn't believe him, did he?
He quoted one of his favorite Elizabethan poets. "'Twixt truth and madness lies but a sliver of a stream". He's not just gonna let this drop. I thought I'd warn you.
I am Jor-El, your father.
I thought you died!
I am his memory, his will. I am to fulfill his promise and guide you all the days of your life. You are the last son of Krypton. When you traveled through the cosmos, you carried the hopes and dreams of your people. They now live through you, Kal-El. It is time.
Time for what?
Time to accept your destiny.
I don't know what you have in mind for me, but I--
By the setting of the sun Sol, you will return to me. Your destiny will be fulfilled. Your thoughts are not a mystery to me, Kal-El. These people have served their purpose. It is time to leave them.
Please! Everything and everyone I love is here! In Smallville!
You must let go of your past. I will guide you to your future.
No, I don't want your guidance! I want to create my own future!
You have no choice, Kal-El.
Whatever your biological father may have had in mind for you, they're his hopes and dreams, not yours.
Clark, you choose your own destiny. Nobody can decide that for you, son.
This is my home. And you're my parents. It's where I belong, and I'm not going anywhere.
You will obey me, Kal-El.
You're not my father. I won't let you control me.
You cannot fight it, Kal-El. At the zenith of the star Sol, you will begin your journey. If you do not, you will hurt the ones you love most.
You were right about Clark. He wasn't who I thought he was. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed earlier. So much for my crack journalistic instinct.
No, no, love has a way of blinding even the sharpest minds. We don't look because we don't want to see. But once love has been stripped away, then we see the real person clearly. They're revealed to us with all their flaws, their foibles, and their secrets.
Come with me.
Smallville's my home. It's your home too.
Not anymore.
You've made quite a reputation for yourself. I set up this test so I could see with my own eyes if you were man or myth. And clearly, you're both.
KKal
Well, I'm glad I could clear it up for you... Mr. Edge.
I'd like to talk about a job opportunity.
KKal
Thanks. But I'm really not looking for work right now. I like to fly solo.
No matter how many bullets bounce off you, Kal, you're still a kid, and I'm the biggest crime boss in Metropolis.
KKal
Well, I would think you could afford better help.
That's why we're talking. I got this one job. It'll make you Midas rich. So when you are tired of playing the little league, you know where to find me.
You killed your father.
LLLouis Leery
Yeah, it was inevitable. I had to do it. Only one of us could survive. See, back there, he was a rich and powerful guy. He was always criticizing me, never thinking I was good enough. And it just kept chipping away, chipping away till there was nothing left... I thought you and I were kindred spirits.
No, Louis. You're a psychopath.
LLLouis Leery
Well, there's one in all of us. I just let mine out.
