QUOTES
Chloe Sullivan: Lois stopped by and found Shelby here alone with a dishful of food. Now, don’t worry, I covered for you. But you should know that you are *now* on her radar.
Clark Kent: Thanks. I’ll be more careful next time.
Chloe Sullivan: Dressed like that? Clark, what if I was Lois? She would take one look at you and realize Clark Kent *is* the Blur.
Clark Kent: I told you, there *is* no Clark Kent.
Chloe Sullivan: No disrespect to your Kryptonian calling, but coming back to feed the dog is about as human as it gets.
Lois Lane: Clark Kent, you’re back! I was beginning to think your family lived on some distant planet.
Clark Kent: Must have really missed me.
Lois: Uh, only because the guy who sat in your desk was a certifiable psychopath. Otherwise, I’ve been so busy, I didn’t even notice you were gone.
Clark Kent: Missed you, too, Lois.
