Smallville · Season 1
Clark, your gifts are... well, they're part of you but they don't define you.
I know. But they complicate all of our lives.
Seeing how destructive Eric got, it just reminds me of how special you really are.
That's because Eric didn't get my two strongest gifts. You and Mom.
I just want to say I'm sorry.
For what?
Letting you get hurt.
Well, I am perturbed with you, Clark. I'm also mad that you didn't put out the Chicago fire of 1871, or prevent the fall of the Roman Empire, making you directly responsible for the Dark Ages.
Clark, you can't save the world. All you'll end up with is a Messiah complex and a lot of enemies.
I saved you, didn't I? That turned out all right.
Chloe, you can't just go snooping around someone's house.
It's a mansion. It's designed for snooping.
How you feeling?
Like a million bucks... thrown in the washing machine set on spin.
The question is, how'd they get inside?
I don't know. Now stop channeling Chloe and come on. [Clark uses his x-ray vision] Oh no, not the Kent thousand-yard stare.
No offense, Clark, but digging up six pages of interesting on you is going to require some serious excavation.
I do stuff...
Yes, and I'm sure that once I deploy my journalistic skills on you, I'll be able to unearth a skeleton or two.
You know, Chloe, this is a class project, not a corruption scandal.
Relax, Clark, it's not like you have anything to hide, right?
In a world of designer water, Clark Kent is straight from the tap.
Let's just say that it's a very long road between what's sitting in our storm cellar and what's written on your birth certificate.
There was this bully three grades ahead of us. This dude was determined to pound dents into every kid in the school. One day, I guess it was my turn. He was just about to take my head off when Clark jumped between us.
So Clark ran interference. Now, as kind as that sounds, Pete, I really don't think it falls under the "something amazing" test.
I'm not finished. Clark didn't just push brain-dead away. He put him through a door, as in splinters and broken hinges. How he did it, I still have no idea. The guy was at least twice our size.
Clark, any comments?
Uh, well, we were, you know, six years old. Twice our size was three feet tall.
My biological parents are either dead or didn't want me. The point is, you're prying into my private life.
I was just trying to be thorough.
This is a class project. I spent an hour yesterday with Lana. That's it. That's all I needed. I'm not some mystery for you to solve.
This isn't you.
Why? Because I'm not doing exactly as I'm told? Because I'm not stuck in a corner hiding in a book? For once I am not afraid of life and nobody can handle it cause you all prefer the insecure little girl. Well I'm sick of her and all of her talk about her dead parents.
What's going on with Dad?
I don't know. He's been acting strange ever since he got home.
[Getting a beer from the fridge] Hey, Clark. Football game on TV. You wanna watch it with me?
Don't you have work to do?
Nah, chores can wait. Besides, I earned a rest. You can pick up the slack for me, can't ya?
It's good to see this whole hero thing didn't go to your head.
You think too much, Clark.
Right now, I'm thinking you don't seem like yourself.
Or maybe... [starts to undress] ...I'm more me than ever.
Lana... this is crazy.
That's the point. If life doesn't make you crazy, then why bother living it? I know that's how I want it.
I know you want me, Clark. Stop holding back. Come on... you're not made of steel. Or are you?
