Council members, I have completed my solar calculations, and as much as I dread uttering these fateful words, I have come to the conclusion that Krypton is about to be destroyed.

S1 E1Superman on Earth
If anyone is to survive, let it be our son.
[Eben pulls the baby from the burning rocket and hands it to Sarah.]
Burned much?
Not burned at all. Blanket ain't even scorched.
White speaking. What? Absolutely not. Certainly not. And that's final!
Who the blazes are you?
My name is Clark Kent, sir.
I told that girl not to...
Please don't blame your receptionist, she doesn't even know I'm in here.
What do you mean she doesn't know? How did you get past her
Well, I didn't you see, I came in through the window.
[On meeting Clark Kent for the first time.]
Crazy. Just crazy.
There are one or two things I haven't got quite straight in my mind, Mr. Kent. For example, how did you leave here later than we did and beat us to the airport?
Is that all?
Not quite. How come you found the man behind the hanger at just the right moment to get his exclusive story when every top experienced reporter in the business was breaking his neck...
Or her neck...
Or her neck to get that story?
Maybe I'm a Superman, Miss Lane.
S1 E2The Haunted Lighthouse
Say, How did you get here?
Well, Jim, that's a long story.
[On Clark Kent:]
My, but he's handsome too. As a matter of fact, he looks like... [Clark interrupts]
Help! Help! I'm drowning!
S1 E3The Case of the Talkative Dummy
I give you all the best lines, all the best gags, but that isn't good enough. You have to add lines of your own. What are you trying to do, take over the act?
Look at him, sitting there so innocently. "In the shade of the old apple tree". "Down by the old mill stream". "Eleven and a half". He knows he's fourteen. He's been fourteen for the last ten years!
Jim, a word of advice. After this, keep out of other people's safes.
Well there he goes again. Inspector, where does he disappear to all the time?
I don't know. Maybe he runs into an ally, takes off his glasses and turns into Superman.
All right Clark, if you're so smart who's on the other end of the phone now?
The Chief. And if we're not back at the planet in fifteen seconds flat, we're bothe gonna get fired. Now come on.
