Jimmy Olsen
- [Jimmy compares the red-blue blur photo of the Good Samaritan with Clark's family photo]
- Jimmy Olsen: It's all so clear. That's what been going on between you and Chloe. She's known this whole time. And... and now this picture.
- Clark Kent: Jimmy, you're not making any sense.
- Jimmy Olsen: It makes perfect sense. It's *you*, isn't it?
- Clark Kent: What about Lois? She's the one who's supposedly saved. Don't you think it's weird she didn't say anything about it last night?
- Jimmy Olsen: Not... really. I mean, she's a naysayer, a nonbeliever. She swears that it's her lightning-fast reflexes that came to her rescue.
- Clark Kent: So you're saying this blur saved Lois from becoming roadkill and she didn't feel a thing?
- Jimmy Olsen: See, that's how good he is.
- Lois Lane: I write news stories, not fairy tales. Especially ones about mythical saviors that no one's ever seen.
- Jimmy Olsen: Look, I may not have a name or a face to connect him with. But I am telling you, this stealth crime fighter is as real as it gets.
- Lois Lane: Well, the only stealth crime fighter I know about wears green leather and plays with arrows. And I think he's hung up his bow.
- Jimmy Olsen: Lois, this guy is light years beyond bows and arrows. Trust me, this is the kind of story that careers are made of.
- Lois Lane: Well, without a photo, that story is about as relevant as a five-part exposé on the tooth fairy.
- Jimmy Olsen: I bet you Clark won't feel that way after I pitch him the story over dinner tonight.
- Lois Lane: Oh, Clark is coming to dinner with us?
- Jimmy Olsen: Yeah, I had a feeling you were too much of a cynic for such an uplifting piece. But, hey, you know, C.K. will be all over this.
- Lois Lane: I wouldn't be so sure. As shocking as it might seem, Smallville is no hack.
- Jimmy Olsen: Wait a minute, did I just hear you give Clark Kent a compliment?
- Clark Kent: Jimmy, there's no way that Tess is gonna publish an out-of-focus photograph. You... you... I wouldn't even bother showing her.
- Jimmy Olsen: Too late. Caught her in the elevator, and she seemed mighty interested. She even agreed to let you write the copy.
- Clark Kent: Jimmy, don't you think you should have asked me if I was interested first?
- Jimmy Olsen: Clark, I was doing you a favor. I mean, this is a huge story.
- Jimmy Olsen: I've been stuck in Lois' shadow ever since I landed at the Planet. And I'm pretty sure the same is true for you. It's time that we made names for ourselves.
- Clark Kent: Jimmy, I'd rather be stuck in Lois Lane's shadow than... than be in the spotlight for some make-believe story.
- Jimmy Olsen: I'm so sorry, C.K.
- Clark Kent: Congratulations, Jimmy.
- Jimmy Olsen: To think that I just about pulled you out of a closet you weren't even in. I feel terrible.
- Clark Kent: Don't feel too bad. Actually, I'm honored you thought I could move with lightning speed.
- Jimmy Olsen: Well, you might not be superhuman, Clark. But there's a reason that I thought you were the Good Samaritan.
- Clark Kent: Why's that, 'cause I buy Girl Scout cookies twice a year?
- Jimmy Olsen: Seriously, C.K., you're the kind of guy that people can count on. Whether it's your friends or strangers... you're always there for them. That's rare.
- Lois Lane: [rolling in as Jimmy leaves] What's rare? A pen that works in this place?
