Tom Welling credited as playing...
Clark Kent
- Jonathan Kent: Are you okay?
- Clark Kent: Can I answer that in about five years?
- Jonathan Kent: Yeah.
- Clark Kent: Dad I'm glad you and mom are the ones that found me.
- Jonathan Kent: We didn't find you, Clark, you found us.
- Lana Lang: Nietzsche? I didn't know you have a dark side, Clark.
- Clark Kent: Doesn't everyone?
- Lana Lang: So what are you: Man or Superman?
- Clark Kent: I haven't figured it out yet.
- Jonathan Kent: Your real parents weren't exactly from around... here.
- Clark Kent: Where are they from?
- [Jonathan looks up at the sky]
- Clark Kent: What are you trying to tell me, Dad? That I'm from another planet?
- [sarcastically]
- Clark Kent: I suppose you stashed my spaceship in the attic?
- Jonathan Kent: Actually... it's in the storm cellar.
- Clark Kent: Hey, this is a great place.
- Lex Luthor: Yeah, if you're dead and in the market for something to haunt.
- Clark Kent: Well, I meant it's roomy.
- Lex Luthor: It's the Luthor ancestral home, or so my father claims. He had it shipped over from Scotland stone by stone.
- Clark Kent: Yeah, I remember. The trucks rolled through town for weeks but no one ever moved in.
- Lex Luthor: My father had no intention of living here. He's never even stepped through the front door.
- Clark Kent: Then why'd he ship it over?
- Lex Luthor: Because he could.
- Lex Luthor: Clark, do you believe a man can fly?
- Clark Kent: Sure. In a plane.
- Lex Luthor: No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about soaring through the clouds, with nothing but air beneath you.
- Clark Kent: People can't fly, Lex.
- Lex Luthor: I did. After the accident, when my heart stopped. It was the most exhilarating two minutes of my life. I flew over Smallville, and for the first time, I didn't see a dead end. I saw a new beginning. Thanks to you, I have a second chance. We have a future, Clark, and I don't want anything to stand in the way of our friendship.
- 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.
- Lana Lang: [talking about Nietzsche] So what are you? Man or superman?
- Clark Kent: Haven't figured it out, yet.
- Jonathan Kent: Who was the maniac who was driving that car?
- Lex Luthor: That would be me.
- [offering a handshake]
- Lex Luthor: Lex Luthor.
- Jonathan Kent: I'm Jonathan Kent. This is my son.
- Lex Luthor: Thanks for saving my life.
- Clark Kent: I'm sure you would have done the same thing.
- Lex Luthor: You got quite an extraordinary boy there, Mr. Kent. If there's any way I can repay you?
- Jonathan Kent: Drive slower.
- Chloe Sullivan: I call it 'The Wall of Weird.' It's every strange, bizarre, and unexplained event that's happened in Smallville since the meteor shower. That's when it all began - when the town went schizo.
- Clark Kent: Why didn't you tell me about this?
- Chloe Sullivan: Do you tell me everything that happens in your life? We all keep secrets, Clark.
- Clark Kent: Lana, you ever feel like your life was supposed to be something different?
- Lana Lang: Sometimes I dream I'm at school, waiting for Nell to pick me up, but she doesn't come. So my parents drive up, and they're not dead, just really late. And I get in their car and we drive back to my real life in Metropolis. That's usually when I wake up. And for a minute, I'm totally happy... until I realize I'm still alone.
- Clark Kent: [playing along with talking to her parents] What's that, Mrs. Lang? Yeah, I'll-I'll tell her. Your mom wants you to know that you're never alone. That she's always looking over you. No matter what. What? What's that, Mr. Lang? Your dad thinks you're a shoo-in for homecoming queen
- Lana Lang: [amused smile] They really say all that?
- Clark Kent: Oh, yeah. They're quite chatty once you get 'em started.
- Lana Lang: I didn't see you tonight, Clark.
- Clark Kent: Lana. What are you doing here?
- Lana Lang: I saved you that dance.
- Clark Kent: I won't let you hurt my friends.
- Jeremy Creek: Those people in there aren't your friends. The sprinklers will get 'em nice and wet. I'll handle the rest.
- Clark Kent: They never did anything to you.
- Jeremy Creek: I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for you and for all the others like us.
- Clark Kent: What happened to you was my fault. I can understand your pain.
- Jeremy Creek: I'm not in pain. I have a gift. And a purpose and a destiny.
- [turning around, he's surprised to see Clark has sped around him]
- Clark Kent: So do I.
- Jonathan Kent: I know this has gotta be really hard for you. But you gotta just hang in there like we promised.
- Clark Kent: I'm sick of 'hanging in there'. All I want to do is go through high school without being a total loser.
- Lana Lang: Clark wait. I just wasn't expecting to see anyone out here. Are you okay?
- Clark Kent: I'm hanging out in a graveyard. Does that strike you as okay behavior?
- Lana Lang: Who's there?
- Clark Kent: It's me. Clark.
- Lana Lang: Clark Kent? What are you doing creeping around the woods?
- Clark Kent: You'd never believe me if I told you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
