Allison Mack: Chloe Sullivan

Crossfire

Chloe Sullivan

Chloe Sullivan: Hey. From the look on your face, I'm guessing "Good Morning, Metropolis" wasn't so good. Did Lois get the job?
Clark Kent: Yeah. So did I. They'd only hire us as a team.
[Chloe looks shocked, then laughs]
Clark Kent: How do I get myself into these things?
Chloe Sullivan: So what's your first story?
Clark Kent: Online dating. They want us to tape ourselves on dates set up through the internet, then coffee-talk about them on the show.
Chloe Sullivan: Wow. Tackling morning television to get back into Lois' good graces. You know, this has got to be one of your bravest moves yet.

Clark Kent: As much as I care about Lois, there's nothing more important than finding the Kandorians.
Chloe Sullivan: Clark, you've been galloping around the globe tracking down every Kryptonian crop circle we've found. And every time, the Kandorian who came with it was long gone.
Clark Kent: That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop looking.
Chloe Sullivan: I think it's time to start looking a little closer to home. Tess has been reinforcing her firewalls, and she's cut the feed to all her security cameras. Now, given her attraction to all things alien...
Clark Kent: You think she's building her own Area 51.
Chloe Sullivan: Let me use Watchtower to take a sneak peek at her files.
Clark Kent: All right, I'll see what I can find on my end.
Chloe Sullivan: Clark, you've done everything you can. You chose to come back to your Daily Planet double life as a cover. That's what you need to focus on. Just for today, leave the Kandorians to me.

Chloe Sullivan: [trying to hack into LuthorCorp] Finally.
[seeing she's been denied access]
Chloe Sullivan: Another firewall?
Stuart Campbell: [at the Luthor mansion] That's right, my hapless hacker. You have been served.
[seeing she's broken through]
Stuart Campbell: What? Already? Damn. You are fast. Okay. I see your anonymous proxy filter with your reinforced protocol encryption, and I raise you one rewritten ACL. Denied.
Chloe Sullivan: [seeing another firewall has been put up] Okay. Now you made me angry.

Clark Kent: Chloe, did you find a lead on the Kandorian?
Chloe Sullivan: I've run every play in my playbook to try and access Tess' files, but she's got one hell of a defensive line. The good news is that I've only counted 100 firewalls, so I think I'm actually about to score.
Stuart Campbell: [she breaks through, and a video file begins] Greetings, esteemable foe, whoever you are. Now, I'm guessing since you've made it this far, you probably haven't slept and your fingers are getting really cramped up, so I thought I would take it upon myself to do you a big favor and just say give up. I can do this all day and all night. I'm sure you already get the picture, so...
[holding up his hand]
Stuart Campbell: ...talk to the hand.
Chloe Sullivan: [pausing the video] Hello, hand.
[running a fingerprint analysis]
Chloe Sullivan: Stuart Campbell, graduate of MIT. Talk to these hands.
Clark Kent: Nice work, Chloe.

Chloe Sullivan: So it looks like Stuart Campbell is Tess' tech boy wonder, and he has done some pretty heavyweight hacking of his own. Government databases, corporations. Wow. We could do a lot with this kind of leverage. Maybe even get him to join us.
Clark Kent: It'll be an even match.
Chloe Sullivan: Clark, this guy is so good, every time I'd get close, he'd show up and block me.
Clark Kent: I know the feeling. Lois and Oliver. Seeing him with her. It's been a long time since he looked that happy.
Chloe Sullivan: Clark, just stop, okay? I mean, your willingness to sacrifice yourself for others is a great strength, for sure. But when it comes to your own happiness, it's definitely a weakness.
Clark Kent: But Oliver's been through a lot lately, and we're all friends.
Chloe Sullivan: Lois is not up for auction. Look, for once, try not to second-guess things. All you have to do is ask yourself what do you want?
