Clark Kent and Jonathan Kent in “Unfinished Business”

Clark Kent

Dad, Lex is just trying to do the right thing.

Jonathan Kent

I know he is, Clark. I know he didn't try to buy me off, he's just trying to repay me for damages that he thinks he caused. You're right, I got no real reason to doubt him. It's just something in my gut tells me I should.

Clark Kent

Lex isn't perfect, Dad. I know that. But slamming the door in his face over and over only helps turn him into exactly what you think he already is.

Jonathan Kent

When did you get to be so wise?

Clark Kent

Ask my dad.
