Clark: You’re holding back something from me, aren’t you? Chloe, I can’t believe you’d lie to me.
Chloe: I can’t believe you didn’t hear the deafening irony in that sentence
Chloe: When did you learn to do that.
Jimmy: Some girls go for sports cars. I figure you’re more of a lockpicking kind of girl.
Clark: (after he shoots Lana) I should’ve known better. Rule number one–never get mixed up with a girl. Not when you’re on the job.
Jimmy: On the job? (Clark shows police badge) You’re a cop?
Clark: Undercover unit. I was sent here to watch Lex Luthor. Falling in love with his wife, that was… that was my mistake.
Jimmy: Those were some eyes that she had. Would have made any guy want to be a hero.
Clark: Yeah, well those eyes just got you the electric chair. Someone should’ve told you, kid. There are no heroes in Metropolis
Jimmy: I didn’t peg you as the kind of guy with a secret identity.
Clark: And you’re never gonna.
Lex: And don’t worry, kept my word. I’m here alone.
Jimmy: I’m afraid your word’s not worth much, Luthor.
Lex: Doesn’t matter. By tomorrow, you’ll be picking lead out of your lungs.
