Quotes 

• Clark Kent : All my life I've been afraid, Lois. Afraid of people knowing the truth about me. Afraid of them rejecting me, and even if they didn't, still losing them. I've been afraid of everything I can't control. But when I was faced with the idea of losing you forever, it made me realize there's something I'd regret more than anything else, and that's not telling you the truth about me. 'Cause that's the only way we could share a life together. I know the odds are stacked against us and we'd be risking everything, but if you're ready to take that leap, there's no one else that I'd want to take that leap with. Lois, you've had a lot of questions about The Blur, it's me. I'm The Blur.

  Lois Lane : [jumps on Clark, kissing him]  What took you so long?

  Clark Kent : [confused, realizes she knows]  What? You...

• Clark Kent : I'm telling Lois my secret.

  Oliver Queen : Okay, that's officially the biggest news *I've* heard all day. Why now?

  Clark Kent : I saw the future... recently.

  Oliver Queen : Okay, now, *that's* officially the biggest news I've heard all day. You know you sound crazy when you talk like that, right?

  Clark Kent : In the future, Lois already knew about me. What I didn't see is how I told her and when. My instincts have always been to keep my secret, but then I see five minutes of the future that seems to good to be true, and...

  Oliver Queen : You came over here hoping that I would try to talk you out of telling her, right?

  Clark Kent : No. Maybe.

• Clark Kent : If I remember correctly, coming out to Lois did *not* have a happy ending. You told Lois the truth, and she dumped you.

  Oliver Queen : That - We broke up. Look, Lois and I were never really meant to be together. Clark, she loves you. That makes you a lucky man. Take it from me, living without love is not really living, it's just sort of existing. The question you have to ask yourself is what are you willing to risk for love?

• Lois Lane : I know the pen is mighter than the sword, but Cat was off her rocker. I mean, Lois Lane is amazing, but you and I both know that I'm not the world's greatest superhero.

  Clark Kent : Lois, I'm sorry you had to get a ballpoint in the hand for the truth to come out.

  Lois Lane : The truth? Right. About the Blur, who he is. A big mystery. Of course, he never told me his identity, so I guess I don't even really know him. I feel like I do. The thing is, Clark... the Blur and I, I mean, we... we have this special bond. Actually, it's kind of like what you and I have together. Because I...

  [feeling nervous] 

  Lois Lane : God, I wish you were a mirror. I... what I'm really trying to say to you is that... I know you.

  Clark Kent : But you don't know the Blur. He's probably keeping it a secret for a reason.

  Lois Lane : He's never gonna tell me, is he?

  Clark Kent : Not if it means putting your life at risk.

  Lois Lane : I wish he knew that I was willing to take that risk.

• Tess Mercer : Did I drive halfway across town just for an apology?

  Clark Kent : No. It's so we could both give you something.

  Oliver Queen : That's right. Other than our solar-powered friend over here doing that cool eyeball zap through the amulet thing that he did. We couldn't have done it without you.

  Clark Kent : You took care of Cat, and you figured out how to put Isis back in the amulet. You're pretty impressive with a low-tech laptop, too.

  Oliver Queen : Now let's see what you can do with something a little more powerful. Like Watchtower. Welcome to the team.

  Tess Mercer : Thank you.

• Clark Kent : Lois found Osiris' heart, and now I can't find her.

  Oliver Queen : Well, she still does have one more layover before our nonstop to hell. She has to reunite the heart...

  Tess Mercer : With the body to make Osiris whole.

  Oliver Queen : There's a sarcophagus at the exhibit. It's rumored to hold an ancient priest of the underworld. Now, I'm thinking...

  Tess Mercer : That high priest is actually Osiris.

  Oliver Queen : You stole my thunder there, Tess.

• Clark Kent : Every one of those crates has the name of the museum on it. If Isis saw that, she'll know where the artifacts are headed.

  Oliver Queen : Well, it's only a matter of time before we become permanent residents of the underworld, and we have no idea how to get this Egyptian genie back in her bottle.

  Tess Mercer : You don't, but I might.

  Oliver Queen : [she sits down at his desk]  Sure, yeah, just go ahead and make yourself at home. Please do it somewhere else. Off the laptop.

  Tess Mercer : You don't trust me still. Oliver, I get it, but you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, like the one that you're trying to paint yourself into? Our team, we protect secrets. We don't keep them from one another. I'm not sure you know the difference.

  Tess Mercer : Lex kept a record of all of LuthorCorp's active excavation sites. Unfortunately, he also deleted it. However, nothing in cyberspace is totally lost. So it might take me a little bit of time with your low-tech laptop here, but I think that I could reconstruct the files.

  Clark Kent : Time is not a luxury we have. Please hurry.

  Oliver Queen : Where are you going?

  Clark Kent : Try and prevent the end of the world.

• Oliver Queen : Egyptians believed that a person's soul remained in their heart. So when Sade dismembered Osiris' body and scattered all the pieces...

  Clark Kent : He wanted to make sure that his soul never found peace.

  Oliver Queen : Exactly, but the mighty Isis vowed to resurrect Osiris. So she recovered his body piece by piece, but she was never able to find the burial jar containing his heart. And to make sure that she never did, Sade trapped her spirit in an amulet.

  Clark Kent : Now that she's back, she's gonna finish what she started. If we can find that jar, then she'll find us.

  Oliver Queen : Oh, Clark, because of his lost soul, Osiris was doomed to rule the underworld for all eternity. If Isis succeeds in resurrecting him, his kingdom will also rise. She will literally unleash hell on Earth.

• Oliver Queen : [learning Clark wants to tell his secret to Lois]  I hate to break it to you, but I say go for it. Coming out was the best thing I ever did. I can finally be myself around here. And it turns out, people actually like the real me.

  Clark Kent : That is an understatement.

  Oliver Queen : Look at this. "For breakfast after a long night keeping us safe." This is the sweetest thing. Oh, and...

  [holding up a box of ceral with Green Arrow on the front] 

  Oliver Queen : ...my new favorite cereal.

• Oliver Queen : The Isis myth isn't just about some goddess, it's about what people are willing to risk for love.

  Clark Kent : I had my lecture on love for the day.

  Oliver Queen : Fair enough. Her husband Osiris was killed by his brother Set out of jealousy; I guess being an only child does have some perks.

• Lois Lane : [Cat stabs her in the hand with a pen]  OW! What the hell?

  Clark Kent : [catching her hand as she throws a punch]  Ladies, who wants to go first?

  Lois Lane : [simultaneously]  She stabbed me.

  Cat Grant : She's the Blur!

  Lois Lane : That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And I thought you were a bottle blonde.

• Clark Kent : Cat, there's something you should know.

  Cat Grant : Don't even bother protecting her, Clark. I know the truth, and I have proof.

  Clark Kent : What kind of proof?

  Cat Grant : Photographic. I caught little miss liar conducting some sort of satanic S-E-X ritual last night. I couldn't see who else was there, but once I print those photos, it won't matter. I'll have my evidence. And everyone will see the Blur for the deviant menace she is.

  Lois Lane : First, are you twelve? And second, I may be no angel, honey, but I am definitely not into the devil.

  Cat Grant : Oh, yeah? Why don't I show you the pictures?

  [Clark whooshes away and back] 

  Cat Grant : Then you'll see what you have to say. Should make for a great quote.

  [her phone falls apart as she holds it up] 

  Cat Grant : Oh, my god. Those were my only copies.

  Lois Lane : Well, that's a rookie mistake. You need to always back up your evidence.

• Cat Grant : [accusing her of being the Blur]  Pretend all you want, Lois, but there's just no other explanation.

  Clark Kent : Actually, there is. Lois was possessed by the spirit of Isis.

  Cat Grant : You know, I may have kept my youthful good looks, but I wasn't born yesterday. I'm not buying it, Clark.

  Lois Lane : Well, your only options are cash or credit. Because Clark just told you the truth.

  [he pulls her away] 

  Lois Lane : This is Metropolis; weird things happen all the time. Get used to it.

• Oliver Queen : [offering Tess Chloe's spot as Watchtower]  You really think we can trust her?

  Clark Kent : We'll find out.

• Clark Kent : This ends now, or I will destroy Osiris' heart.

  Isis : No.

  Clark Kent : Then release Lois. I need her back.

  Isis : I see now that I am doomed. Our undying love shall be denied for eternity. This vessel, she loves you completely?

  Clark Kent : Yes.

  Isis : You hold Osiris' heart in your hand. What you take of mine, I shall take from yours.

• Clark Kent : Isis, I know how much you love Osiris, but you cannot sacrifice two lives just to see him again.

  Isis : True love is worth any sacrifice. Time betrays us all.

• Clark Kent : You can't bring him back. It's over.

  Isis : It cannot be over. It is eternal.

  Clark Kent : Even if his body was there, you can't risk hell on Earth. Not just for love.

  Isis : Then you do not know love.

  Clark Kent : I do. The woman I love is the vessel you took over, and I want her back.

  Isis : You would not risk the world for her?

  Clark Kent : Not for such a selfish reason.

  Isis : Then do not pretend what you feel is love.

• Isis : For thousands of years, my heart beat only for one man. What you know of these things is but the wisdom of a child. Osiris was cut into a thousand pieces. He was doomed to the underworld. My spirit... was ripped from my flesh and blood. And I have waited lifetimes for him. All of what we suffered was worth what little time we had together, and I would bear any cost to be reunited with him, even for a moment.

  Clark Kent : Your memory will have to be enough.

  Isis : Have you given this woman your heart?

  Clark Kent : She knows how I feel.

  Isis : But you hold yourself back from her, hmm? If you will not risk your heart completely... then I will.

• Oliver Queen : I'll make sure to relay your message about Cat to Clark. In the meantime, he and I can take care of the blonde and her bombshell.

  Tess Mercer : You don't have to throw me out, Oliver. I'm just trying to protect Clark.

  Clark Kent : [whooshing in]  Protect me from what?

  Oliver Queen : Apparently the third wheel of your bullpen bust thinks that Lois is the Blur.

  Tess Mercer : Which is why I erased all the security footage of Lois crumpling a metal door with her hand and throwing a security guard across a warehouse. Cat saw what she saw, but at least now she can't prove it.

• Clark Kent : Oliver, we need help. And there's one other person we can call. Tess.

  Oliver Queen : Did you hit your head? A, Tess can't be trusted. B, she can't do what Chloe did. No one can take Chloe's place.

  Clark Kent : I hope you brushed up on your Egyptian history.

  Oliver Queen : Courtesy of a once-lovely, now-livid museum curator. I canceled tonight's gala. Adrianna was not thrilled to hear that news. I told her a friend had unexpectedly flown in.

  Clark Kent : Please tell me these books are gonna explain what happened to Lois.

• Clark Kent : Wow, you look beautiful. Did you get that necklace for the gala? It's so, um... Egyptian.

  Isis : I must locate the treasures of Isis.

  Clark Kent : You mean the article that Cat's working on?

  Isis : Where is this Cat now?

  Clark Kent : She's probably on her way to the LuthorCorp loading dock, and I know that it goes against every bone in your body not to chase down a lead, Lois, but there is something that... that's more important that you need to know. I wanted to tell you this before. I just didn't know how. Actually, I did tell you once before, but everything got out of control. And it wasn't your fault, though, you were perfect. I'm doing this all wrong.

  Isis : You said this knowledge was of great importance to me.

  Clark Kent : I'm the Blur.

  Isis : That is of no importance to me.

  Clark Kent : "No importance" as if it doesn't change the way you feel about me, or "no importance" as in you...

  [she moves toward the ledge] 

  Clark Kent : Lois? Lois!

  Isis : This vessel might have once been called Lois, but now it serves Isis.
