Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : I came by for your Kryptonian dictionary. I ran Lionel's symbols in that program, and it came up with this pattern - 3 signs repeated 32 times.

  [shows Clark the pattern and he reads it] 

  Chloe Sullivan : What does it say?

  Clark Kent : "Zod is coming."

• Lois Lane : Look, sometimes you gotta tuck your feelings away until it's the right time. Like stuffing dollars into a piggy bank for a bike you can't quite afford.

  Clark Kent : Except I can't quite imagine there is anyone is out there.

  Lois Lane : Oh, you never know, Clark. Even if you finally crack open that piggy bank, you found all this time you haven't been saving for a bike. You been really saving it for a Harley.

  Clark Kent : There are times when think you don't know me at all... and others where I think you know me better than anyone.

  Lois Lane : That's what I'm here for, Smallville - one save at a time.

• Clark Kent : Mom, this isn't the first time I've seen dad. It's a long story, but Lana was in trouble. I tried to save her and had some sort of near-death experience. I saw dad; he was the one who told me Lionel knew my secret. That wasn't my imagination. What if this wasn't, either?

  Martha Kent : If that's true... if it really was your father...

  Clark Kent : Then what Lionel's up to is a lot worse than just knowing my secret.

  Martha Kent : It would have to be for your father to suggest taking someone's life.

• Clark Kent : Dad?

  Jonathan Kent : Listen, I'm sorry I couldn't be at your birthday party to see the kind of man you're becoming.

  Clark Kent : Dad, everything I am is because of you.

  Jonathan Kent : Not everything. See, there can be no more lessons; you're gonna have to do this on your own. I can't help anymore. You're gonna have to stop him.

  Clark Kent : Stop who?

  Jonathan Kent : He's much worse than we possibly imagined. So many people, so... many people are gonna die.

  Clark Kent : I don't understand, dad. What are you talking about?

  Jonathan Kent : I'm talking about Lionel Luthor.

  Clark Kent : What is he doing?

  Jonathan Kent : He's gonna do something terrible.

  Clark Kent : Tell me, dad. What am I supposed to do?

  Jonathan Kent : I'm sorry, Clark, but to save this world... you've got to kill Lionel Luthor. Goodbye, son.

• Lex Luthor : Lana called me. I don't want to hear you were rifling through her stuff like a crazy roommate again. If you want something from me, don't go running to Lana to find it. You really crossed the line.

  Clark Kent : All those years we were friends, were you just waiting for me to step aside so you could swoop in and make your move?

  Lex Luthor : I don't know, Clark. All those years you told Lana you loved her, were you just waiting to walk away and break her heart? Look, there's a natural tendency to blame the person who's replaced you; I get that. But I didn't take Lana from you. You lost her all by yourself.

• Chloe Sullivan : So Hell freezes over and no one even bothers to tell me?

  Clark Kent : Chloe, listen, Mr. Luthor has been writing these. It's some sort of warning, but I can't decipher it.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, unfortunately, my Kryptonian's a little rusty. What about -

  Lionel Luthor : I don't know what any of this means, Miss Sullivan. I am simply the Oracle. I believe the answers could be found with a visit to your Fortress.

  Clark Kent : The last time someone talked me into taking him to the Fortress, was a trick. To release General Zod.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, I have plans this weekend, so if we could protect Smallville from the wrath of Krypton's deadliest villain, that would be great.

• Chloe Sullivan : Okay, Clark, I am the president of Ghost Believers Anonymous, but your dad "Hamlet"-ing you?

  Clark Kent : Chloe, I know how it sounds.

  Chloe Sullivan : All right, hand me a cloak and call me Horatio.

• Chloe Sullivan : You handled the whole party thing really well, by the way.

  Clark Kent : Thanks. The baseball tickets, they hit me harder than I thought.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, but those tickets, they weren't your dad's only gift. I mean, it didn't come with a big, pretty red bow, but your dad raised you to be your own man. That was his real gift. And he gave that to you every day.
