Smallville quotes

Clark Kent

Mom, people are upset. They're getting violent.

Martha Kent

Clark, if you don't let me do this, there will never be a day where you can come out of hiding. People need someone to believe in.

Clark Kent

I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself.

Martha Kent

Your father and I made a pact many years ago. We knew protecting you would always be dangerous, but we vowed to do it, even if it cost us our lives. I'm willing to sacrifice the same thing your father did.

Clark Kent

But I'm not gonna to let go on a suicide mission for me. And the person who did this to you is still out there, and I'm gonna find them. I'm not ready to say goodbye to you, too.

Chloe Sullivan

You know, who would have thought there would have been a day when heroes need this much protection?

Martha Kent

It's nothing new. A long time ago, Jonathan and I realized Clark wasn't just our blessing. Someday we'd have to share him with the world. Protecting him suddenly became a much bigger responsibility.

Chloe Sullivan

That explains why the Red Queen eventually entered the game.

Martha Kent

I've been watching you, too. I know you took over where Waller left off, but why did you leave Clark's side in the first place?

Chloe Sullivan

Same reason you did. It turns out there's a very fine line between being protective and being overprotective.

Martha Kent

We both needed to leave for Clark to stand up on his own. But maybe we stepped away too far.

Chloe Sullivan

Mrs. Kent, I never stopped watching his back.

Martha Kent

Clark needs you as much as the world needs him. You're part of this family, Chloe.

Chloe Sullivan

You know, growing up, I never really had much of a mother figure to look up to -- until I met you. You really taught me what it meant to take care of the people that I love.

Martha Kent

And as Clark's oldest friend, I can't think of anyone better to watch over him.

Oliver Queen

(to Alexander) So, what was that this morning, huh? Was that, uh -- was that your idea to show daddy you got the killer instinct, too? Is that what that was?

Are you making an accusation against my son? No one will take your word, you're a convicted felon. You should have stayed out of the spotlight, but you wanted celebrity. You made one fatal mistake -- you trusted them, the people. They're vulgar, uneducated, and stupid, and they don't even know when you're fighting for them. Must be heart-wrenching.

Oliver Queen

Well, you got it all figured out. I'll tell you what -- I wouldn't underestimate the common man in tomorrow's vote. When the VRA's repealed and my name is cleared, I'm coming after you.

No, you're wrong. Tomorrow, the people will turn on you again, believe me. You missed the mark, Green Arrow.

And now its our turn... again.

No second chances, Lionel. It's time to end this family feud.

Alexander, please listen to me.

I know I'm dying. I'm aging faster and faster. I have all of Lex's memories. And he despised every single one of you.

Listen. Listen to me, son. Don't let hate master you. Make it your servant. Use it. Let it build inside of you. Hate can make you strong. I can teach you how.

There's nothing left for you to teach me.

Clark Kent

I want to be the man that you made that suit for.

Martha Kent

Clark, you don't need a suit the be the world's hero.

Clark Kent

Well, when I saw those people willing to defend me, it was inspiring. It got me to thinking that, in order for The Blur to be a true beacon of hope, maybe people need to see my face, too. I've been to the future, and I saw the hero that I will become to save the city. But I also saw me -- I mean... Clark Kent -- disguised behind glasses and a bad haircut.

Martha Kent

Well, I'm sure you still looked very handsome.

Clark Kent

Mom, I don't how I can treat Clark Kent as a disguise. I mean, you and dad raised me to be who I am right now -- the real Clark Kent.

Martha Kent

What's real is your strength and integrity and compassion. As long as you remain honest to those things, it doesn't matter what you wear or what name you go by, because... you'll always be my son.

Clark Kent

So, you're saying that I should become that hero and step into the light?

Martha Kent

Clark, you are the light.

Lois Lane

My Turkish is a little rusty, but it seems someone managed to pull off a supersave there, and now Ankara's also wondering who America's Blur hero is. Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires, they are offering a national commendation to "El Salvador de Rojo y Azul" if he'd stand still long enough to receive it. And I won't even bother with the Chinese because I would just sound racist.

Oliver Queen

Ya know, when I said that I wanted to spoon you later, this isn't really what I had in mind.

Chloe Sullivan

We're lying alone together in the dark, okay. I think that counts for something.

Oliver Queen

Yeah, you're probably right. This is definitely the most romantic of my recent kidnappings. Helluva way to spend an anniversary, right? (Chloe is guilty silent) Oh, gee...you forgot!

Chloe Sullivan

No. No. No! I did not forget that it's been a year since we started doing.... whatever it is that we've been doing.

Oliver Queen

Whatever it is that we've...wow. You weren't joking around at the restaurant, were ya? You don't know what to call me.

Chloe Sullivan

Not in so many words.

Oliver Queen

Okay!

Chloe Sullivan

(car hits a bump) Ow!.... Oliver!

Oliver Queen

We spend every waking moment together. We've said our "I love yous" how many times, huh? Several. What do you call that?

Chloe Sullivan

Can we talk about this later?

Oliver Queen

Yeah, no... I'd love to do that... If there is a later.

Chloe Sullivan

(sighing) You're so dramatic.

I was wondering when we would meet again.

Clark Kent

What exactly are you, Desaad?

A prophet. A servant, loyal to a far greater power.

Clark Kent

The darkness.

To Darkseid. When he last laid his eyes upon you, you wore your sin openly. You're much more self-assured now. More love in your heart than when you faced Godfrey. Stronger than when you faced Granny, as well. Sadly incorruptible. They, much like I, have been preparing for something...amazing.

Clark Kent

And that's why the three of you have been burning your Omega symbols on innocent people.

You act as though the marks weren't there to begin with...but I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

Clark Kent

And I should be wearing a mask. Unfortunately, I've lived my entire life up until this point without needing one. That's why I've been so reluctant. I mean, this is the face that my parents raised. It's the face of the man that you love. And I don't want to deny who I am when I'm out there doing what I was born to do.

Lois Lane

Then why bother with the jacket, Clark, the symbols?

Clark Kent

When I'm out there in the red and blue, and I'm saving people, that's who I really am. And I know this is gonna sound weird, but it's not what I'm called that should define who I am. It's who I am that should define what I'm called. Clark Kent - it's...it's just a name. It's just a word. I am The Blur, and I always have been.

Lois Lane

Clark, you can't just whip out a new costume at work.

Clark Kent

The Blur is not the disguise, Lois. Clark Kent will be the mask.

Lois Lane

Okay. Okay, but the only way the glasses are ever going to work...

Clark Kent

If I adjust my behavior when I use them. I know. The world needs to believe that Clark Kent is way too normal to be...

Lois Lane

Super.

Clark Kent

And even though we silenced Godfrey, we shutdown Granny's orphanage, and buried Desaad underneath Belle Reve, it's not the last time we've seen Darkseid. But I'll be ready...(puts on glasses)...hiding in plain sight.

Lois Lane

So you're willing to dial back the hometown hero and crank up the Average Joe?

Clark Kent

If that's what it takes to be the hero the people need, (glasses slide down a little; he pushes glasses up nose in iconic fashion)...yes, Miss Lane, I am.

Clark Kent

(to Chloe) You don't think we...?

Chloe Sullivan

Exchanged vows?

Clark Kent

Uh, well, I mean...

Chloe Sullivan

Said "I do"?

Clark Kent

...both...

Chloe Sullivan

Did the deed? God, don't say the word "consummate". The answer has to be "no".

Oliver Queen

How the hell did we end up here, anyway?

Lois Lane

Oh, I have no idea. But in that green getup of yours, we're gonna stand out like a hooker in a church.

Oliver Queen

(looks down and notice he's wearing a sea foam colored tuxedo jacket) What?

Lois Lane

Yeah.

Oliver Queen

What is this?

You are an eye full. You know, like the Tower in Paris. You put these other hothouse girls to shame.

Oliver Queen

Thanks, man.

Chloe Sullivan

You're not alone, Clark Kent. In all my globe-trotting, I have met several others like you - a billionaire with high tech toys and a wondrous woman who's gonna throw you for a loop.

Tess Mercer

Hey, hound dog. You really rocked this town.

Dr. Emil Hamilton

I suppose that's supposed to be humorous?

Tess Mercer

It's just... well, it was a nice surprise to see our mild-manner doctor have a special power of his own.
