Smallville quotes

Pete Ross

I'm okay at hoops. I'm a decent photographer. But you saw that crowd last night. You heard them chanting my name. And for once in my life, I finally get to feel what you feel like every single day. I get to feel special.

Clark Kent

Pete, I'm not special. I'm different.

Pete Ross

Clark, who do you think you're kidding? You can do things that I could never even dream of. And ever since we were kids, even before I knew your secret, I've always been walking in your shadow.

Clark Kent

Pete, that's not true.

Pete Ross

Clark, don't get me wrong. It's not a bad place to be. But I'm growing up. I'm realizing that I got my own talents.

Clark Kent

Everything's taken care of. What you need to concentrate on is feeling better and your checkers strategy, not necessarily in that order.

Jonathan Kent

Clark, you've been here every night. Why don't you go out with your friends, have some fun.

Clark Kent

Why would I go out with my friends when I can beat my dad at checkers?

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

Lex, you've done so much already, but I need a big favor.

Lex Luthor

Name it.

Clark Kent

I need $20,000 dollars, cash.

Lex Luthor

You're right. That is big. You mind telling me what it's for?

Clark Kent

My friend got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and now they're making him pay for it.

Lex Luthor

Is this the old proverbial friend who happens to be you?

Jonathan Kent

In the world, things aren't always black and white. Sometimes you gotta wander out into the gray areas and do what you think is best.

Lionel Luthor

[to a class] Now, you're all here to learn something about business. The most important element in anything to do with economic theory is the individual. Yes, you. Traditional rules, supply and demand--they're secondary. But to rise above those rules, to know when to break them, requires absolute personal commitment. I consider it a prerequisite for success.

Chloe Sullivan

[to Clark, quietly] And I consider it despicable, immoral, and possibly illegal.

Chloe Sullivan

What do you say we make a break for the fire escape?

Clark Kent

I could crawl down all 39 stories if this fieldtrip didn't count toward our final grade.

Chloe Sullivan

Welcome to the Lionel Luthor exhibit. Next floor: Victims, sycophants, and hatchet men.

Clark Kent

She's gone.

Jonathan Kent

What did she do, Clark, climb out the window?

Clark Kent

Actually, she teleported.

Jonathan Kent

You're gonna have to run that by me one more time.

Clark Kent

I just think that maybe we need to set some boundaries. You know, maybe some limitations.

We're special, Clark. People like us don't need boundaries and limitations.

Lex Luthor

You go on one date with this girl, and already she's sneaking into your bedroom, putting sexy pictures of herself in your locker, and practically asking your parents to book the wedding chapel. What's your secret, Clark?

Clark Kent

You know, I always thought of my dad as a man of steel. I guess I was wrong.

Lex Luthor

My father's been strangely stubborn about liquidating that property. Every market indicator says to sell, but he insists the neighborhood's about to be revitalized.

Chloe Sullivan

The only thing being revitalized in that neighborhood is the graffiti.

Lex Luthor

Chloe, I think I should take it from here.

Chloe Sullivan

Lex, I'm perfectly capable--

This has nothing to do with your capability. I'm worried about your safety. When my father's involved with covert research, people tend to get hurt.

Clark Kent

Dad, when that serum got close to the kryptonite bomb, it reacted the same way as my blood.

Martha Kent

So you're saying the serum...

Clark Kent

I know. It sounds crazy, but I think that Lionel Luthor has found a way to use my blood to bring people back to life. If my blood can save lives, maybe I should come forward. What if there's something inside me that can repair dad's heart permanently?

Jonathan Kent

Clark, your mother and I both know that you are gonna save a lot of lives in this world, even more than you have any idea.

Clark Kent

The only life I'm interested in saving is yours.

Jonathan Kent

You do. You save my life every day that you're with us. And we wouldn't trade that for a single moment without you.

Lana Lang

I should've said something about Adam sooner. I feel so guilty.

Clark Kent

None of this was your fault.

Lana Lang

Still, I let him threaten me into silence.

Clark Kent

Because you knew it would put people in danger. I understand keeping secrets for that reason.
