Quotes 

• Lana Lang : [a quiet sunset leaves the air silent as Lana walks into Clark's barn with a bad feeling about what's coming as she slowly walks up the steps]  I've climbed these steps before so many times, why do they seem steeper than ever?

  Clark Kent : Thanks for coming over. I didn't want to bother you at school.

  Lana Lang : Look, Clark you can spare me the speech about how sorry you are. I know you were hypnotized and you weren't in control of your actions.

  Clark Kent : [With reluctance]  I need to be honest with you.

  Lana Lang : That would be refreshing.

  Clark Kent : [Choked up]  I don't know any other way to say it... but the truth is... my feelings for you have changed.

  Lana Lang : [She walks over to him looking him straight in the eyes]  Clark, I want you to look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me.

  Clark Kent : [Clark turns to her with tears in his eyes and she looks upon him with fear]  I don't love you.

  Lana Lang : [Lana sits down having just had her heart crushed by the man she's loved for so long with tears in her eyes]  I have waited... for you to grow up, to get over whatever hang-ups you may have.

  Clark Kent : [Kneeling down in front of her]  I never meant to hurt you.

  Lana Lang : I don't want another Clark Kent apology.

  [after pulling back her tears] 

  Lana Lang : It's over... forever.

  [She walks out on a broken Clark staring in sadness of what he's just had to sacrifice] 

• Martha Kent : You're an adult now, Clark, in an adult relationship, and they rarely end the way we want them to.

  Clark Kent : You know, I just didn't know what else to do. It was either make a clean break or tell her my secret.

  Martha Kent : Yeah. I know you didn't tell Lana the truth because you wanted to protect her, but maybe there was actually more to it.

  Clark Kent : What do you mean?

  Martha Kent : Do you think you didn't tell her because maybe, deep down, you didn't think she was the one?

  Clark Kent : I'll always love Lana.

  Martha Kent : I know. That's why you did this. But you didn't just break her heart, Clark. You gave her reason to hate you. I just hope her anger doesn't drive her to do something we'll all regret.

• Chloe Sullivan : Are you still hypnoed?

  Clark Kent : Chloe... how many times can I break someone's heart before it crumbles to pieces?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, but it wasn't your fault. You were hypnotized!

  Clark Kent : Lana wasn't. Chloe, her feelings were real. The look of pain in her eye when she walked in on Simone and I made me realize that my power to hurt Lana is stronger than all my powers put together.

  Chloe Sullivan : But it's not like meeting a girl with hocus pocus jewelry is an everyday occurrence.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, but hurting Lana has become one. And as long as I have to lie to her about who I really am, I'm gonna cause her pain.

  Chloe Sullivan : And as long as you don't set the record straight, she's gonna hate you.

  Clark Kent : Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe it'll help her move on with her life, forget I ever existed, and then find someone who can give her what she deserves.

  Chloe Sullivan : Just... you need to know that if you do this, that's it. Game over, there's no more quarters left. I mean, you're saying goodbye forever. It will crush her, Clark. Please just think long and hard before you end this for good.

• Chloe Sullivan : [about Lana]  Have you talked to her yet? You guys kiss and make up?

  [Clark looks away] 

  Chloe Sullivan : You haven't talked to her, have you?

  Clark Kent : No.

  Chloe Sullivan : What are you waiting for? I mean, she knows you were hypnotized. And besides, like every single one of us has gone through some sort of an identity crisis at one point or another. It's like a rite of passage in Smallville.
