Episode 4.14 - Krypto

 

Written By: Luke Schelhaas
Directed by: James Marshall
Original Air Date: February 16, 2005

While driving, Lois (Erica Durance) accidentally hits a dog and she brings it back to the farm to heal. Clark (Tom Welling) realizes this is no ordinary dog after the pup lifts up a car to retrieve a ball. Clark and Lois learn the dog is a product of an aborted LuthorCorp experiment and is being used to commit crimes, but when Lois is kidnapped by the robbers and Clark is weakened by kryptonite, it is up to the dog to save them. Meanwhile, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) questions Jason’s (Jensen Ackles) involvement in his mother’s (guest star Jane Seymour) schemes.

“Give a Little Bit” by Goo Goo Dolls — Song heard at the end of the episode when Clark is playing with his new best friend, Shelby.

Lois: [to Einstein, the dog]
Okay. You’re gonna be fine. I know you’re gonna be fine. Everyone
I’ve ever hit was all right.

Lois: [confused] I had him chained right there. Okay, that’s
just bad wood. That’s not my fault. How’d that post break?

Clark: Maybe if we can’t find out who owns him, we can keep
him.

Jonathan: Why don’t we just see what happens tomorrow, Clark?

Clark: You know, I’m gonna do my chores.

Jonathan: It’s three o’clock in the morning.

Clark: Dad, since Lois is staying here, if I’m gonna do my
work at super speed, I have to do it when she’s not looking.

Clark: Hey. Looks like you got a secret too. Where are you
from? Good boy.

Clark: We found this dog.

Lois: Actually, uh, I found him. Well, hit him actually…
Not hard. We call him Clarkie.

Clark: [annoyed] We don’t call him Clarkie.

Martha: It’s hard to believe he’s as strong as Clark says he
is. He certainly is a beautiful dog.

Martha: Well, it might be nice for Clark to have a dog. It’s
been kind of a lonely year for him.

Genevieve: Look, it’s not safe for you to stay here.

Jason: Well, I’m not leaving Lana.

Genevieve: Well, perhaps you’ll change your mind when you
hear the rest of the story. Isobel was condemned by a woman named
Gertrude. Isobel vowed that when she rose from the dead, that she
would wipe out all of Gertrude’s heirs. We’re Gertrude’s ancestors,
Jason.

Jason: So you think that Lana is going to kill you?

Genevieve: No. But Isobel will, and who knows when she’ll
return?

Jason: Mother, I walked out on Lana once before. I’m not
gonna do it again.

Genevieve: Then you’re in love with a girl that may kill our
entire family.

Clark: You know, can you go a little bit faster?

Lois: Hey, you were gonna be hoofing it about ten minutes
ago. Besides, I don’t want to hit anything.

Clark: Yeah, I hope my dad lets me keep him. Doctor, you
didn’t notice anything unusual about any tests you ran on him, did
you?

Klein: Like what?

Clark: Well, he just seems really strong sometimes and he
likes to get into things.

Klein: Well, if anything, I’d say his strength is a little
below average. You’ve got a perfectly normal, healthy dog here. You
thought of a name yet?

Clark: I was thinking of calling him Krypto.

[Lex arrives at the door.]

Lex: Interesting name.

Lex: Krypto. What does it mean?

[Einstein growls at Lex, softly.]

Lex: Friendly.

Clark: It’s because his background is so… cryptic.

Clark: [to Lex about Einstein] But he’s not dangerous now. He
saved my life. I’ll take my chances on his loyalty.

Chloe: Lana, are you okay?

Lana: Chloe, this is the town that my ancestors come from.
And Isobel Theroux.

Chloe: Well, on a scale of weird to ten… Genevieve’s
grandmother is the one who moved Isobel’s tomb into that church in
Paris.

Lana: Why would anyone move a witch’s tomb into a church?

Chloe: I think that’s something you need to ask Jason.

Lionel: You can’t trust her [Genevieve], Jason. Of course,
you can’t trust my son either, but I think you know that.

Jason: And I suppose you’re gonna tell me I can trust you,
though.

Lois: I thought bathing him was supposed to help with my
allergies.

Clark: [teasingly] Well, maybe you’re allergic to the soap
too.

Lois: Maybe I’m allergic to you. Can you grab me a towel
please?

Clark: I was thinking we could call him Krypto.

Lois: Why, because he’s so cryptic like you? I don’t think
so.

Clark: Why not?

Lois: Because I think it’s dumb. You can call your next dog
Krypto. Look, it’s not that hard. Max, Lucky, Rocky, Bailey, Scamp,
Monty, Bud?

Martha: You know, when I was a little girl, we had a dog that
looked just like this one. Maybe that’s why I liked him so much
right away. His name was Shelby.

Lois: I can live with that.

Clark: Well, it beats Clarkie.

 

Quote of the Week:

Clark: [to Einstein] Well, at least I don’t have to hide
anything from you.
