Lex: It’s hard not to consider the implications when your mortality has a dollar sign attached to it.
Lionel: No, Lex, I’d hoped we’d move beyond this distrust reflex of yours.
Lex: It’s called common sense.
Lionel: Miss Sullivan, what a nice surprise. Have you brought me an addendum to your report on Clark Kent?
Chloe: No, it’s my final article for the Daily Planet. I’m turning in my resignation today.
Lionel: Oh. Our agreement is terminated.
Chloe: I’m sorry, but Clark’s friendship just means too much to me.
Lionel: I can’t say it’s unexpected, but it will be disappointing.
Chloe: I’m sorry, Mr. Luthor. I guess some people are just better at leading double lives than others.
Van: [to Clark] You’re one of them. I saw you catch that slug. It was in your hand. What are you, some kind of bulletproof freak?
Lex: Clark, the only abilities I have are playing the market and falling for the wrong women.
Clark: He’s obviously crazy.
Lex: There must be some reason he picked me.
Martha: Jonathan, do you have it? [the kryptonite bullet]
Jonathan: Martha, it’s in there so far. Wait a second. I think I got it. Okay.
Martha: [to Clark, crying.] Hold on, baby, hold on, baby, he’s got it.
Clark: It’s all about dressing for the occasion.
Lex: Churchill once said “Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge.” Maybe that kid was right about me.
Lana: What I don’t understand is you’re willing to walk into bullets for me, but you won’t share what’s going on inside. Clark, if you don’t open up to the people that love you, you’ll always be alone. I can’t believe you want to spend your life like that.
Clark: I may not have a choice.
Lana: You always have a choice.
