Smallville quotes

Jonathan

Clark, as much as I hate to admit this, Lex had a hand in this too. He did make good on his promise to protect Chloe.

Clark

And look what he got out of it. Control of LuthorCorp. Look, I'm sorry, but it's gonna take a lot more than that for me to get to trust him again.

Martha

Ever since he met you, he's been surrounded by things he can't explain. We can't really blame him for trying to find the truth.

Clark

The truth is, he's been lying to me from day one. The legend on the cave wall says I'm destined to have an enemy. All this time, I've been worried about Lionel. But I'm beginning to think that the real threat was right in front of me. I think it's Lex.

Lois

Nice arm, farm boy. When's the first game?

Clark

I'm not on the team.

Lois

Why not? An arm like that is a "Get out of geek free" pass.

Clark

Well, even if I wanted to play--

Lois

Which obviously you do.

Clark

That wouldn't be the reason. Thanks, I don't really consider myself a geek.

Lois

So, what do you see yourself as?

Clark

I don't know. An outsider, I guess.

Lois

That's a recipe for wedgies if I've ever heard one.

Clark

[sarcastic] Have I told you how much I'm gonna miss you?

Chloe

Five credits in one semester? Lois, the only way you're gonna do that is if you add an extracurricular to your class list. Like, say, maybe... writing for the Torch.

Lois

Uh, no hard feelings here, cuz, but unlike you, the last thing I want to be is a reporter.

Chloe

Yeah, God. What could be worse than, you know, uncovering the truth and protecting the public?

Lois

And sticking your nose in other people's business.

Chloe

Like I said. You'd be perfect.

Clark

Hey, hey! The last time I checked, you were missing a few prerequisites for being in here.

Lois

So you have been checking me out.

Lana

I keep thinking of all the times that you've told me that I'm beautiful, and I can't help but wonder how much of me you really see.

Jason

Lana, I tell you you're beautiful because of who you are, not because of what I see. I mean, you're the girl I flew halfway across the world to be with. The girl who kicks the crap out of me at Xbox and thinks it's hysterical. I mean, I have seen you with the stomach flu where your eyes were puffy and your nose was running, you're yakking--

Lana

Okay, okay. I get the picture.

Jason

All I'm saying is the reasons I love you... it's not something you can see in a mirror... That's good. I'm gonna write that down and use that later.

Jonathan

I guess practice ran late, huh?

Clark

Dad, I'm sorry I disappointed you. But I'm staying on the team. I'm tired of living my life on the sidelines.

Jonathan

I realize that, Clark. I also realize that you're a senior in high school, and from now on, you're gonna be making a lot of your own decisions. But if you want to be seen as an adult in this family, then you have to start acting like one. Adults in this family don't run off and do things without discussing them first.

Clark

I know. That's why I have just one question for you. You gonna let some assistant coach from Metropolis teach your boy how to play football?

Jonathan

...Go deep.

Chloe

[about Clark] Wow, superhero and journalist - what are the odds?

Lois

I'm glad you made the team, Clark, but why be a conformist? At least with the whole farm boy plaid thing, as lame as it is, it completely belongs to you.

Clark

In the future, let's restrict our conversations to "hello" and "goodbye".

Clark

Lex, if this friendship was so important, why'd you lie to me for so long?

Lex

I don't know, Clark. There's a darkness in me that I can't always control. I'm starting to think that's my curse, why every relationship I have ends badly.

Clark

We all have a dark side, Lex.

Lex

Yeah. But I can feel mine creeping over the corners. Your friendship helps keep it at bay. It reminds me that there are truly good people in the world. I'm not willing to give up on that.

Clark

What's that?

Lex

The Porsche you pulled me out of the day we met.

Clark

Why is it still here?

Lex

To remind me of what I almost lost. It's over, Clark. It really is. Look, I'm willing to give this friendship another shot if you are.

Clark

In the spirit of friendship, I was wondering if you could help me with a problem.

Lex

Absolutely. What is it?

Clark

Well, it's a who. Lois Lane.

Lois

You know, if I could describe my time here in one word, it would be "weird". I look forward to the relative normalcy of the big city. But don't worry. I'll visit.

Clark

Is that a promise or a threat?

[to Clark] You know, I've always wondered if there was anyone out there like me, and it turns out to be you, Jimmy Crack Corn fresh from the farm.

Bart

You know what, man? Enough about poor little street urchin, all right? Let's take a closer look at the mysterious Clark Kent... You like to study Native American mythology. You've scrawled the name "Lana" on your notebooks, and you have one of the most boring hobbies known to man. Rock collecting.

Clark

I don't collect r--

Bart

Dude, are you okay?

Clark

Put that away. I'm allergic.

Bart

Man, I've heard of people sneezing around cats and dogs and stuff, but never getting all weak in the knees over a rock.

Clark

It's a long story.

Bart

Which is one I'm sure I would love to hear... after we get back.

Clark

Get back from where?

Bart

Anywhere we want. I mean, dude, we are two super-powered studs here. Why else do you think I came to Smellyville looking for you, man? Let's go crank it up, go have some fun! You ever seen Florida?

Clark

You haven't been listening to anything I've said to you. You can't go around stealing whatever you want.

Bart

Why not?

Clark

Because there are laws.

Bart

For normal people. And, dude, why do you treat your abilities like a curse? They're not, man. They're a gift. I'm gonna use them.

Clark

I'm not saying you shouldn't. Just use them to help people, not hurt them.

Clark

I just came by to see if you were all right. I heard you had some trouble in Metropolis.

Lex

News travels fast.

Clark

Curse of a small town. So what happened?

Lex

I decided to play cowboy and got my spurs handed to me. To be honest, I don't know why I'm not dead.

Clark

There must be someone watching over you.

Lex

In more ways than one.
