Helen: This is yesterday’s paper. Why didn’t youtell me about it?

Lex: Because I thought I bought up every copy in Smallville.

Clark: You don’t think he’s really an alien, do you?

Chloe: No. But wouldn’t it be awesome if he was, though?

Clark: Yeah, it’d be the story of the century, wouldn’t it.

Chloe: This isn’t about Pulitzers, Clark. I mean, can you imagine being
from another planet? The experiences you could share?

Clark: It wouldn’t freak you out?

Chloe: Compared to most people, I think aliens would be a step up.

Lex: I never figured you for having an identity crisis, Clark.

Clark: It’s for a friend.

Lex: Haven’t heard that one before. What’s your friend’s problem?
Napoleon or Messiah complex?

Clark: Actually he thinks he’s an alien.

Chloe: Okay, well, I’m not discounting the possibility that he may have
some magic healing power. But if he does, it’s probably byproduct of meteorite
poisoning. He is no more extraterrestrial than you are.

Cyrus: At the appointed time, I’ll send a signal and my parents will
come. They’ll transport me up to their ship and then they’ll take me home.

Clark: You know, I can see how all this would be a little difficult to
explain to a group of psychiatrists.

Clark: Maybe my parents weren’t the only ones who saved their child.

Pete: Well, if you really want to know, I could go up to him with a piece
of meteor rock.

Clark: No, it’s called Kryptonite.

Pete: Kryptonite. Is that with a C or a K?

Cyrus: You give me hope for this world, Clark. I wish there were more
people like you here. (Smiling) I’ll send you a postcard.

Clark: I mean, how would you feel about him if he actually was from
another planet?

Lana: Well, um… I guess I’d try and keep an open mind.

Clark: You’d never feel completely comfortable with him, would you?

Lana: I have to admit, I’d be a little freaked out. (Clark nods and
looks away) Does that make me a bad person?

Clark: No. Just honest.

Quote of the Week:

Clark: It’s like Cyrus is in his own world. He takes teenage
alienation to a whole new level.

Lana: Well, we all have our ways of escaping from our lives. I ride,
Chloe writes, and you… you do incredibly strenuous farm chores by yourself.
