You knew all along my father murdered his parents, didn't you? And you never told me... I always assumed there was a tacit agreement among friends to share that kind of information with each other.
Not when it can get your friend killed. Lex, your father threw you into a mental institution and fried your brain. If you found that out all over again, I thought he might kill you, and I couldn't live with that.
You're a good friend, Clark. If you tell the judge what you just told me, my father will be exchanging his Armani for an orange jumpsuit.
[to Jonathan] Tell Kal-El what you did.
What kind of deal did you make, Dad?
I promised Jor-El that if he gave me the power to bring you back from Metropolis, that one day I would return you to him.
Jonathan, you didn't do that...
Martha, I had no idea it was going to be this soon.
I told you, Kal-El. They'll always betray you. Even the man you call your father.
Come with me, Kal-El. Come home.
I know it seems that way. But sooner or later, everyone you know here will lie, betray, or leave you.
No matter what you say, I'll never go with you.
There's so much of my own life I can't explain. I've survived countless brushes with death, and it all started with this car crash. If I'm guilty of anything, it's that I've inherited my father's eccentric curiosity for the unexplained.
You've inherited his dishonesty.
Clark, look me in the eye and tell me you don't have any hidden places of your own where you keep your deep, dark secrets.
Ever since I've met you, I've been defending you, making excuses for you to people like Pete, like my parents. Telling them, "You can trust Lex Luthor. He's a good guy. He's nothing like his father". I was wrong.
CAClark [as Kal-El]
I am fine.
You've just been hit by lightning, you're stark naked, and you don't even remember your own name. You have a fairly loose definition of "fine".
[Clark turns to face Lois.]
[to herself] Look at his face... I have a blanket in the trunk.
Look, I didn't come here fishing for thanks. I think Clark might know something about my cousin Chloe's death.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yeah. Were she and Clark ever an item?
Oh, I think for a minute...
It's funny, I never thought she'd fall for the farm boy type.
Trust me, that can happen to the best of us.
Not me. Give me a nerd with glasses any day of the week.
Yeah, I've seen several of them already.
BCBridget Crosby
Martha, I can help you if you'll let me. Now, where's your son?
I don't know... He flew. He flew away.
BCBridget Crosby
So he's-- He has completely embraced his Kryptonian destiny.
Do you know what that destiny is?
BCBridget Crosby
No, but the symbol burned into your field three months ago? That's the Kryptonian symbol for "Crusade".
Oh, sorry. Your American, right?
Great. Can I ask you a big favour?
Sure...as long as it doesn't get me arrested.
No, I'm supposed to meet my, uh, my girlfriend here. Well, she's not really my girlfriend, even though we spend every waking moment together. See, we met two months ago today on this exact street corner, and I bought her something to mark the occasion. I wanted to get your opinion.
Well, I think that would probably be the last thing she would be expecting.
It doesn't really scream "romance" does it? But, see, the first time we met, I was driving by on my Vespa, and I clipped her. She thought I was gonna steal her purse so she kicked me off my bike. I messed up an old football injury and then she spent five hours with me at the hospital and we just clicked.
Well, it sounds like love at first crash.
Yeah. Well, for me it was anyway, but I'm just an impulsive kind of guy.
I don't know. She doesn't really talk about it. I think she, uh, I think she got hurt by somebody, but maybe she needs to talk about it.
Well, uh, nothing says "I love you" like a motorcycle helmet.
Yeah. It's for a weekend trip to Nice if she's... if she's interested.
If a guy did something that romantic for me, I think I'd have to kiss him.
None of this would've happened if I had been there.
Okay, Commando, I don't get you. Half the time, you're all meek "Yes, Ma" and "Yes, Pa", and the other half, you are the most overconfident guy I've ever met.
It doesn't happen to you much, does it? Not being able to peg someone right away?
Oh, get over yourself. You are not that complicated.
Um... we usually take turns in the bathroom.
Oh, don't start with me, Smallville. You're the one taking the marathon shower. Besides, my delicate feminine sensibilities weren't offended the first time I got a glimpse of, uh, Clark Junior.
My parents kind of missed the whole Woodstock phase. Besides, they freaked out the last time they caught me in a co-ed situation.
Last time? So the eagle scout does have a few secrets in the closet.
Wow, she didn't take any prisoners, did she? Lana? Cute, smart, gutsy... and way too much for you to handle. I can see why you're in love with her.
Look, you're really not the person I want to talk to about this.
It's just... I knew she'd be dating other people.
I just don't understand how you could feel like you know someone so completely, like you know everything about them, and then just all of a sudden...
You don't even know what continent they're on.
[frustrated] Do you always have to finish people's thoughts?
[equally frustrated] Well, am I right?
Does this mean you're talking to me again?
Only because I don't have a choice.
Relegated from friend to last resort. I guess I'll have to accept it if it's my only chance to prove myself.
Good. 'Cause I want you to help me find Chloe.
Look, I'd like to set things straight between us, Clark, but don't you think raising someone from the grave is setting the bar a little high?
