QUOTES
Chloe: I did. It’s time to leave childish pursuits behind. You’re not the only one who grew up this summer. Besides, I think the Daily Planet was beginning to frown on my little obsession.
Chloe: I’m done chasing windmills, Clark. From now on it’s hard news that can be backed up with facts.
Lex: [breathless] Just like you, Clark. See I’ve always been honest with you. But it turns out you’ve been lying to me from the first day I laid eyes on you.
Lex: It’s too late! The irony is all you had to do was come to me, Clark. I was your friend. I would’ve protected your secret. I would’ve protected you. But I couldn’t be trusted because I’m a Luthor.
Clark: No, that’s not it!
Lex: I don’t care! I’m going to dedicate myself to ensuring the whole
world knows who Clark Kent really is. Life as you know it is over.
Clark: I was kind of afraid to go to sleep. I can’t get over how real
that dream was.
Lionel: These, um, security measures, Lex, are a necessary evil. You
should know that. We have to protect our assets.
Lex: From me?
Lionel: I applaud your renewed commitment to LuthorCorp. After what
you’ve been through, it’s remarkable.
Lex: But you think I might betray you again.
Lionel: Betray me? That’s an interesting notion. Might you?
Clark: My frontal lobe is acting as a beacon.
Chloe: I have a deadline for the Daily Planet, and shockingly, a Wall of Weird story doesn’t take precedence in their mind.
Lana: Now I know why public records are public. They’re incredibly boring.
Lex: [smiling] Relax, Clark, it can’t hurt you. It’s not real.
Clark: Right.
Lex: [sheathing the sword] You’ve got to learn the difference between fantasy and reality. Get some sleep.
Clark: Sara, you’re keeping us in this dream. I can’t help you until I
wake up. I have no power.
Lex: Because I was dealing from a position of fear. If there’s one thing, you can sniff out like a bloodhound, it’s that.
Lionel: It’s a gift, Lex. And it’s useful.
Lex: I know the only way I’m gonna prove to you that I’m your rightful their is to deal from a position of strength. I have nothing to hide.
Lionel: That would mean a lot to me, son.
Lex: I figured you’re my father and you only have my best interest at
heart.
Lionel: Lex. When you’re rich, you’re not crazy. You’re eccentric.
Lana: So I finally met Sara. All she could talk about was you. I told her I’d love to switch places, you know, find out what goes on inside your head.
Clark: It’s not that exciting.
Lana: Still, you know, maybe it would explain why things between us…
Clark: [pointing to his head] Lana, if I had the answers up here, you’d
be the first to know.
Lana: It’s just the last few days, I’ve felt like the girl next door
again. It was nice.
