Clark and Professor Fine in “Unfinished Business”

Clark

You say "human" like it's a bad thing.

Just going off what I've seen. This race shows promise, but at this point in history, they are still duplicitous by their very nature. Even the ones you think you love can't be trusted.

Clark

You don't know anything about this race. Yeah, they can be petty and dishonest and betray each other over nothing. But they can also be honest and loyal. And they would give up everything to protect someone they love. Even if they were from another planet.

Kal-El...

Clark

My name is Clark. And I'll always believe in my friends and my family.

I sincerely hope your trust hasn't been misplaced.
