Pete Ross
- Pete Ross: It's a Homecoming tradition. Every year before the big game the football players select a freshman, take him out to Riley field, strip him down to his boxers, and then paint an S on his chest.
- Clark Kent: And then string him up like a scarecrow.
- Chloe Sullivan: Jeez, it sounds like years of therapy waiting to happen.
- Pete Ross: So, anyone ask you to the dance?
- Chloe Sullivan: Not yet.
- Pete Ross: Well, if nothing pans out with you-know-who, maybe you and...
- Chloe Sullivan: Pete, do you want to take a commercial break from the soap opera in your head? I've told you a hundred times - I'm not interested in Clark.
- Pete Ross: Your vehement denial has been duly noted!
- Pete Ross: [offering Chloe $5 after Clark spots Lana] Give him ten seconds.
- Chloe Sullivan: Five.
- Pete Ross: One, two, three, four, five.
- [Clark stumbles and falls flat on his face]
- Chloe Sullivan: [seeing Clark has missed the school bus and giving Pete a $5 bill] I can't believe you bet against your best friend.
- Pete Ross: Statistical fact. If Clark moved any slower, he'd be extinct.
- Pete Ross: We'd love to join you and Scooby in the Mystery Machine for another zany adventure, but we have to turn in our permission slips before homeroom
- Pete Ross: [whispering] We're trying to avoid becoming this year's scarecrow.
- Chloe Sullivan: What are you talking about
- [loudly]
- Chloe Sullivan: and why are we whispering?
- Pete Ross: Clark, you'll have to excuse our intrepid reporter. Seems as though her weirdar is on DEFCON 5.
- Chloe Sullivan: Just because everyone else chooses to ignore the strange things that happen in this leafy little hamlet doesn't mean that they don't happen.
- Chloe Sullivan: His name is Jeremy Creek. This is a picture of him twelve years ago. This is one I took four hours ago.
- Clark Kent: That's impossible. He'd be, like, 26 today. Must be a kid who looks like him.
- Pete Ross: My money was on the evil-twin theory, until we checked this missing persons.
- Chloe Sullivan: Jeremy disappeared from the state infirmary a few days ago where he'd been in a coma for twelve years. They say he suffered from massive electrolyte imbalance.
- Pete Ross: That's why he hasn't aged a day.
- Clark Kent: So you're telling me he just woke up.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, no, there was a huge electrical storm and the hospital's generator went down, and when it came back on, Jeremy was gone.
- Pete Ross: The electricity must have charged him up like a Duracell.
- Clark Kent: And now he's back in Smallville putting former jocks into comas. Why?
- Pete Ross: Because twelve years ago today, they chose Jeremy Creek as the scarecrow.
- Clark Kent: [reading a newspaper clipping] "Comatose boy found in field 20 yards from meteor strike."
- Chloe Sullivan: The exposure to the blast must have done something to his body.
- Clark Kent: No, this can't be right.
- Pete Ross: I think you ought to show him.
- Clark Kent: Show me what?
