Quotes 

• Pete Ross : It's a Homecoming tradition. Every year before the big game the football players select a freshman, take him out to Riley field, strip him down to his boxers, and then paint an S on his chest.

  Clark Kent : And then string him up like a scarecrow.

  Chloe Sullivan : Jeez, it sounds like years of therapy waiting to happen.

• Chloe Sullivan : Statistical fact. Clark Kent can't get within five feet of Lana Lang without turning into a total freak show.

• Pete Ross : So, anyone ask you to the dance?

  Chloe Sullivan : Not yet.

  Pete Ross : Well, if nothing pans out with you-know-who, maybe you and...

  Chloe Sullivan : Pete, do you want to take a commercial break from the soap opera in your head? I've told you a hundred times - I'm not interested in Clark.

  Pete Ross : Your vehement denial has been duly noted!

• Chloe Sullivan : I call it 'The Wall of Weird.' It's every strange, bizarre, and unexplained event that's happened in Smallville since the meteor shower. That's when it all began - when the town went schizo.

  Clark Kent : Why didn't you tell me about this?

  Chloe Sullivan : Do you tell me everything that happens in your life? We all keep secrets, Clark.

• Pete Ross : [offering Chloe $5 after Clark spots Lana]  Give him ten seconds.

  Chloe Sullivan : Five.

  Pete Ross : One, two, three, four, five.

  [Clark stumbles and falls flat on his face] 

• Chloe Sullivan : [seeing Clark has missed the school bus and giving Pete a $5 bill]  I can't believe you bet against your best friend.

  Pete Ross : Statistical fact. If Clark moved any slower, he'd be extinct.

• Pete Ross : [whispering]  We're trying to avoid becoming this year's scarecrow.

  Chloe Sullivan : What are you talking about

  [loudly] 

  Chloe Sullivan : and why are we whispering?

• Chloe Sullivan : You two are trying out for the football team? What is this, some sort of teen suicide pact?

• Pete Ross : Clark, you'll have to excuse our intrepid reporter. Seems as though her weirdar is on DEFCON 5.

  Chloe Sullivan : Just because everyone else chooses to ignore the strange things that happen in this leafy little hamlet doesn't mean that they don't happen.

• Clark Kent : Hi, guys.

  Chloe Sullivan : [surprised to see him, knowing he missed the bus]  Well, uh... didn't you just, uh... weren't you...

  Clark Kent : I took a shortcut.

  Chloe Sullivan : Through what, a black hole?

• Chloe Sullivan : [showing Clark the Wall of Weird]  It started out as a scrapbook and just kinda mutated.

• Chloe Sullivan : His name is Jeremy Creek. This is a picture of him twelve years ago. This is one I took four hours ago.

  Clark Kent : That's impossible. He'd be, like, 26 today. Must be a kid who looks like him.

  Pete Ross : My money was on the evil-twin theory, until we checked this missing persons.

  Chloe Sullivan : Jeremy disappeared from the state infirmary a few days ago where he'd been in a coma for twelve years. They say he suffered from massive electrolyte imbalance.

  Pete Ross : That's why he hasn't aged a day.

  Clark Kent : So you're telling me he just woke up.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, no, there was a huge electrical storm and the hospital's generator went down, and when it came back on, Jeremy was gone.

  Pete Ross : The electricity must have charged him up like a Duracell.

  Clark Kent : And now he's back in Smallville putting former jocks into comas. Why?

  Pete Ross : Because twelve years ago today, they chose Jeremy Creek as the scarecrow.

  Clark Kent : [reading a newspaper clipping]  "Comatose boy found in field 20 yards from meteor strike."

  Chloe Sullivan : The exposure to the blast must have done something to his body.

  Clark Kent : No, this can't be right.

  Pete Ross : I think you ought to show him.

  Clark Kent : Show me what?

• Chloe Sullivan : It started out as a scrapbook, and just kind of mutated.

  Clark Kent : What is it?

  Chloe Sullivan : I call it the Wall of Weird. It's every strange, bizarre, and unexplained event that's happened in Smallville since the meteor shower. That's when it all began. The town went schizo... So what do you think?
