Smallville · Season 1
[after finding Clark]
Kids just don't fall out of the sky, Martha.
Then where did he come from?
I don't know. But he must have parents.
[they both find the space ship]
Well, if he does, they're definitely not from Kansas.
Sweetheart, we can't keep him. What are we gonna tell people? We found him out in a field?
We didn't find him... he found us.
Nietzsche? I didn't know you have a dark side, Clark.
Doesn't everyone?
So what are you: Man or Superman?
I haven't figured it out yet.
Your real parents weren't exactly from around... here.
Where are they from?
[Jonathan looks up at the sky]
What are you trying to tell me, Dad? That I'm from another planet? [sarcastically] I suppose you stashed my spaceship in the attic?
Actually, it's in the storm cellar.
Pete, do you want to take a commercial break from the soap opera in your head? I've told you a hundred times; I'm not interested in Clark.
Your vehement denial has been duly noted!
I didn't dive in after Lex's car! It hit me at 60 miles an hour! Does that sound normal to you? I'd give anything to be normal.
[after saving a boy from an explosion]
You need to talk to Mom. I think I really freaked her out this time.
You also made her really proud, Clark.
Dad, something else happened to me this morning. When I woke up, I was... kind of floating.
Floating?
As soon as I woke up, I crashed. I mean, Dad, what's happening to me?
I honestly don't know. As soon as you start breaking the law of gravity, we're definitely in uncharted territory.
[to Clark] Save any more lives on your way over? Keep it up and you could make a career out of it.
I hate it when you do that.
Do what?
Just shut me out. It's like one minute, you're here; the next, you're gone. Clark, you're not outgrowing me as a friend, are you?
Chloe, I could never outgrow you. Other than vertically.
It's amazing how far that Kent charm will get you.
Life is about change, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful, but most of the time it's both.
[talking about Lana's boyfriend]
The kid that Kent saved today?
I just came back from seeing him. He's lucky Clark was there.
I know the feeling... kinda makes you wonder if you're with the right guy. One chucks footballs; the other helps save lives.
For someone who just moved into town, you've got a lot of opinions.
Clark Kent is a football player and Lana Lang is a waitress.
What's the matter with that?
Nothing, I just want to click my heels and get back to reality.
You both stood your ground and are doing what you want. I caved. You two have inspired me.
[sarcastically] Oh yeah. Joining the football team and pouring some coffee. We're a couple of real rebels.
Long live the revolution.
You get one.
One what?
One chance to defy me.
I can't figure out what you hate more -- the fact that my plan works, or that you didn't come up with it first.
Just remember -- empires aren't built on clever bookkeeping.
Dad, you have no idea what I'm capable of.
My father sent me to Smallville because he'd rather surround himself with drones than people who challenge his archaic business practices.
You know perfectly well how I feel about you.
Hence I'm at a crap factory in Smallville.
Did you know the Caesars would send their sons to the furthest most corners of the empire so they could get an appreciation of how the world works?
Whatever helps you sleep at night, Dad.
