Clark, what happened to you last night?
I wasn't feeling well. Guess I'm not much of a city guy.
You can take the boy off the farm but you can't take the farm out of the boy.

No, I think I'll play it by ear, you know, fly by the seat of my pants...
Clark, you're not the flying type.
Empires are not brought down by outside forces - they are destroyed by weaknesses from within.
[discussing the blood drive]
Clark, you know you can't donate.
I know, dad but what am I supposed to tell her?
That you have a problem with needles, which you technically do.
Great, not only do I lie, but I look like a wuss.
Have you ever got information that you wish you hadn't?
In my experience I've found you can never have too much information.
That's the thing about Clark Kent: he's not always there when you want him... but he's always there when you need him.
Don't do this. I'm your friend.
Oh please. You think I don't see the way your parents look at me? The way half the town looks at me? You're no different. Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect and fear are the best you can hope for.
I don't see myself being a farmer when I grow up.
What do you want to do?
I'm not sure. Just as long as it doesn't involve putting on a suit and doing a lot of flying.
Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird?
Never read it.
You should. You two have a lot in common. Small-town heroes. Believe in the truth. Not willing to back down.
How does it end?
It's not about the ending, it's about the journey.
What kills me is that I know that I'm right. I just wish I could get them to see it.
That, my friend, is the key to leadership. Not only knowing you're right, but convincing everyone else. If you can do that, the world's your oyster.

Do you know what it's like to have to hide because of who you are?
Yes, I do. But when you have a gift you can't just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.
You can learn a lot from someone you hate.
You know what they say: lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Look, my guess is that your powers aren't coming back.
Maybe being normal won't be so bad; I mean it works for you and Mom.
Oh, thanks.
You don't feel any differently about me now do you?
Clark, you're our son whether you can bench-press the tractor or not.
What do I do now?
Well, life isn't easy for anybody, whether you're normal or super. But you're still Clark Kent. You were raised a certain way and that's never gonna change. Sure, your abilities were part of you, but they didn't define you.
[to Victoria] If sleeping with me was just business, I'd hate to think what that makes you.
You think I'm hiding something from you? Here. Take this hammer. Hit me anywhere.
I'm not gonna hit you, Clark.
Come on! If I can get hit by a car, you can't hurt me.
Clark, I just want the truth.
The truth is I'm just a guy who tried to do the right thing. Isn't that enough?
Can you imagine waking up one morning and having powers?
It's scary... I guess. I mean, look at Eric. It hasn't helped him.
That's true. But I still always wished I could fly.
Yeah, that'd be something, Lana.
