Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Martha Kent : [sitting at Jonathan's bedside]  Did I ever tell you about the first time I ever saw him?

  Clark Kent : No.

  Martha Kent : He came to Metropolis U to take a finance course, and, uh... he was sitting by a fountain all denim and flannel, eating an apple. And, um, I asked to borrow his notes. He didn't know that I was the note-taker for the class; he still doesn't.

  Clark Kent : You were sly, mom.

  Martha Kent : He was... so cute, so I... I asked him for his notes, and he... just handed over his notebook without even asking my name, and I said "How can you be so sure I'll bring it back?", and he said "I prefer to believe in people."

  Clark Kent : That sounds like dad.

  Martha Kent : And I remember looking at him, completely embarrassed because I was thinking the dumbest thing. I was thinking "God, I hope he marries me." I still think that. Every day, there's a part of me that says "God, I hope he marries me."
