Smallville · Season 1
Lois, if you found out something, something someone didn't want you to know about them, would you tell them?
That depends. Is that person someone you care about?
Yeah.
And does keeping the secret hurt anyone?
No.
Then my answer is no. If I really cared about that person, I wouldn't tell them that I knew. But I would go out of my way to be supportive of them so that hopefully, one day, they would be comfortable enough to tell me themselves.
Alicia didn't do this. Ever since she was released from Belle Reve, she's been wearing her lead bracelet. It prevents her from using her abilities.
And did she also happen to be wearing anything low-cut when she spun you that tale, 'cause I'm not sure you're thinking with your big brain here.
Clark, just because Alicia says that the bracelet keeps her from teleporting doesn't mean that it's the truth.
She was with me when Lana got attacked. I was saying good night in Grandville.
Yeah, but every second? You have to admit that she can transport easier than Captain Kirk.
And she did try to carve herself a Jack-O-Lana before, cut and dry. Emphasis on the "cut".
Son, your girlfriend has problems and this relationship is not healthy. Why can't you see that?
You always told me to look for the good in people, to believe in them. And Alicia deserves a second chance.
What I don't understand is why do you continue to see her, knowing how we feel?
She kept my secret. She got shot protecting me. What else does she have to do to prove herself?
Everybody thinks it's you.
Why, because of my powers? Because I'm a freak? You know what, Clark? Maybe if everybody knew your secret, you'd be a suspect too.
[reading] "Can Any Cell Hold Her?" Probably not.
Alicia, what are you doing here?
Chloe Sullivan, ace reporter. You write all these articles about the people you call freaks and you don't even realize that someone close to you is one of them. Why are you ignoring what's right in front of your face, Chloe? Don't you want to know the truth about Clark Kent?
How did you post bail?
Four very good friends of mine. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Lois, I don't think this is the best time.
And when would be the best time, Clark, when I'm on the chain gang?
[to Geoff] I'm sorry. She's under a lot of stress lately.
No. Stress is when you're stuck in traffic or you have a midterm for a class you've never been to. I'm out on bail and looking to be locked up for manslaughter.
I want to believe that I can go out there and play football like any normal college kid, but the fact is, I have powers that no other athlete has. Coop was right. It's not fair that Geoff was out there on that field, just like it's not fair when I'm out there competing. So I've decided to give up football.
Clark... I know how difficult it is to give up something you love.
But this decision you've made son, it shows integrity well beyond your years.
Then why don't I feel good about it?
So what're you gonna do? Are you gonna go stay with Chloe?
They've got a tiny one-bedroom apartment. I can't do that to them. It's fine, really, I'm just gonna check into a motel and when the money runs out, I can always sleep in my car. The backseat's not too bad if you bend your knees and avoid the drive train and then, you know, if I have to sell my car for food, that's okay too. I've always dreamed of being a hobo, riding the rails, cooking beans over roadside fires...
If you want, I guess you can stay with us.
You're a lifesaver! God, am I in need of a hot shower! Don't worry, Smallville. I'll try to keep it under a half hour.
What just happened?
I'm proud of you, Clark.
You're proud of me? Why?
I just have a feeling that you're destined to do a lot more in this world than just score touchdowns.
Chloe, you've been saying a lot of weird things to me lately. What makes you think I'm destined to do anything?
Just a hunch.
Just playing with Skippy here.
We're not gonna call him Skippy.
Okay, Lois, what would you like to call him?
Let's see. He's annoying, and I can't seem to get within ten feet of him without getting sick... I think we should call him Clarkie.
We found this dog.
Actually, I found him. Well, hit him actually. Not hard. We call him Clarkie.
We don't call him Clarkie.
Is it the "ie" part you don't like? Because we could always just make it Clark. But then that would get really confusing, and hey, maybe you should consider changing your name. You could be Skipper.
Lois, call the police. I'm gonna see if I can catch up with these guys.
Hold on there, Forrest Gump. What are you gonna do, run? We brought my car, remember?
Lois, look--
Unh-unh. We can call the cops on the way. You are so weird sometimes.
[later, in the car] You know, can you go a little bit faster?
Hey, you were gonna be hoofing it about ten minutes ago. Besides, I don't want to hit anything.
Stop here.
Where?
Here! Stop here!
Okay!
I thought bathing him was supposed to help with my allergies.
Well, maybe you're allergic to the soap too.
Maybe I'm allergic to you.
I was just trying to figure out if hidden temples and body-snatching witches fits under community service or extracurriculars.
