S1 E15Unfinished Business

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.

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...

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

I sincerely hope your trust hasn't been misplaced.

Let me give you a little friendly advice: Bow out of the race before a pesky little squirrel digs up one of your rotten acorns.

Well, thanks, Lois. You know, there's nothing more valuable than the savvy political advice of a muffin-peddling college dropout. Speaking of, do you have banana blueberry today?

You know, Professor Fine said that human beings were insignificant and couldn't be depended on. He obviously didn't know you very well.

Please. Robo-Professor knows as much about human nature as R2-D2.

He's my father. I have the right to know everything about him.

I agree. When you're ready.

I'm ready now!

Impatience is such a pathetic human trait. But I suppose it's to be expected from someone raised by such a primitive race.

I happen to care a great deal about this primitive race... a lot more than I do about Krypton.

You've given me so much happiness, Clark. I don't know what I would've been without you.

Without me, none of this would have happened.

Don't ever feel guilty about this. Do you hear me? I wouldn't have it any other way. You're gonna be fine. Look at you. You're a man now, Clark. A wonderful man. My job's done.

The only way to save your mother is to destroy the fortress. Jor-El's will is controlling her virus through the crystals. If you bring down his fortress, you will save your mother from his grip.

All he's ever done is try to ruin my life.

Sadly, that was his legacy on Krypton, as well.

I want him gone.

Dad we both know Jor-El's not the type to just let things go.

Clark, when it comes down to it, none of us are going to be around forever. We can't dwell on that. I think the trick is just to live your life to its fullest. Make sure you spend as much time as you possibly can with the people you love.

Much like Ebenezer Scrooge, I realized that what I want more than anything is to live happily ever after. And do you know what the secret to living happily ever after is? Power. Money and power. See, once you have those two things, you can secure everything else... and keep it that way.

Dr. Litvack told me the odds of survival I had going into surgery. Pretty reckless roll of the dice, don't you think?

On the contrary, son. What I did may appear callous, but opting for my son to have surgery was a deliberate decision.

But it wasn't your decision to make, was it? You went against the doctors' advice not because you wanted to save me, but because you couldn't bear having a cripple for a son.

You may hate me for taking the risk, but I had to make a choice. And you're alive, and you can walk. I had to give you that chance.

And what if I hadn't made it? How would you have justified your decision then? How dare you play God with my life.

Oh, not to worry, Griff. We Luthors are made of pretty tough and definitely expensive material.

I want you to pull the pin on that grenade. Find it, fake it... do whatever it takes to knock Jonathan Kent out of the race. I want to be senator. I want it all.

GGriff

Consider it done. Merry Christmas.

I know you didn't come by this late at night just to drop off this press release. What happened?

How far do you want to cross the friendship boundary?

Since when do we have boundaries?... All right, why don't you just leave out the details?

Well, everything was fine between Lana and I when I was human. I mean, it was great.

[prodding him] Okay, Clark...

But now I have my abilities, it's like our... sex... life has been on hiatus.

Oh. I know I'm gonna regret asking this question, but why?

It takes some time for me to adjust my abilities to new situations.

Wow. Uh, awkward factor 8. So basically what you're saying is that you're afraid that in the heat of the moment you might... please don't make me finish this sentence, Clark.

Well, you see, that's the thing. I'm not sure what would happen. I mean if I couldn't control myself...

Okay, you know, Clark, right there that's something that can't never be unseen.

It's not funny.

No, you're right, it's not. It's just that this conversation definitely cements me as your Krypto-hag.

[discussing Clark pulling away from Lana]

It just feels like you're afraid to touch me anymore. Did something happen? Clark? Okay, is this where I have to remind you that you're the one who said we wouldn't keep things from each other?

Why is this about me? I mean, you're the one that pulled away first. You moved to Metropolis two weeks after we got together. And now you spend every moment with these books. Why astronomy?

It's homework.

It's an obsession. And that thing about honesty? It works both ways.

Nice deflection, but I don't fall for that anymore.

[delirious] Do you think I'd look better with hair?

Um, I don't know. I've never thought about it.

Oh, I have. I've thought about a lot of things... Clark has really nice hair.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess he does.

Does he know?

That he has nice hair?
