Publicist: I don't know what's gotten into you recently. Three weeks ago you're a small-time radio show host. Now the whole city's listening.
Gordon Godfrey: I need you to take me further. I want to be on every television, in every newspaper, on every computer screen. I want to touch every soul.
Publicist: The whole world. Exactly how do you propose to do that?
Gordon Godfrey: If I can plant an idea, a seed of doubt within people... it will grow until it devours their faith in each other and in these heroes. Faithless, they'll be ready to be lead down a new path. Humans are the best architects of their own undoing. All you have to do is give them enough rope... they'll hang themselves.
Publicist: Take it easy, Gordon. You sounded a little scary there.

Clark: The more I try to clear my mind, the more I hear.
Kara: Kal-El, instead of trying to force the noise out, why don't you just focus on one thing? Like that butterfly. Live inside that one noise. Make it your whole world.

Oliver: Mom. Hey, Dad. I've been, um, really trying to live my life in a way that would make you proud of me. I, uh, sort of feel like I've let you down. You always said the most important thing was taking care of others, and I, uh, I tried. But I failed at that. The woman that I, uh, I loved... she, she sacrificed everything to protect me, and, um, sorta trying to figure out how to live with that. I can't have other people risking their lives for me. This has to stop. I'm sorry.

Lois: You look like a man who needs a little correcting.
Gordon Godfrey: I'm on the hunt... for a little distraction.
Lois: I think the hunter has become the hunted.

Lois: You've been a bad boy. So...
Gordon Godfrey: Dangerous. What's your favorite tool?
Lois: Oh, uh, I'm pretty good with a torque wrench.
Gordon Godfrey: Huh, kinky. I'm a torque wrench virgin.

Gordon Godfrey: Are you sure you can win against me? You know what I am. You know the doubt in your heart. You so-called heroes are false gods, all of you. And when people stop believing in you, you'll shatter like glass.
Clark: Just tell me! Where is she?
Gordon Godfrey: I can see it. Underneath all that bravado, you're afraid you'll never be the hero you want to be. You wish you could kill me. And I"m not the only one, I can see that. You've felt that way before. Your heart is racing. You're at war with yourself. The turmoil is overwhelming.
Clark: Where is she?
Gordon Godfrey: There is darkness in you, and great power. I think we'll go far together, you and I.
Clark: I will never help you.
Gordon Godfrey: You don't have a choice.

Lois: Who knew Mr. Family Values had such a dark side?
Kara: Godfrey's not so special. There's two sides to everyone. Even heroes.

Lois: I thought it might get a little lonely. Maybe it's easier to be a hero when you don't have somebody tying you down. I'm sure you think of people without powers as... well, differently.
Kara: It's easy for people to just see the powers and not the person behind them. I guess even heroes need someone to come home to, huh?

Lois: Your cousin needs a better handle.
Clark: Just remember that heroes like her or the Blur... put them on too high a pedestal, they might let you down.
Lois: Thanks, Clark, but I get it. The super-powered are people, too. They wrestle with their own flaws, but the Blur is different. He's my hero. No matter what he's afraid of, I know he will always be there for me.

Clark: You sound like my father, that I was destined to fail.
Kara: Failure is something we all have to live with. But it's how you overcome it that defines you.

Lois: Wow. Mortal Kombat meets wood chipper.

Mortal Kombat is a popular martial arts video game that has been spun off into movies and TV.

Lois: I just don't know how his chocolate and my peanut butter are going to mix.

Reese's Peanut Butter cups featured a series of ads where two people, one holding peanut butter and one holding chocolate, would bump into each other and mix their food. The result was Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, "two great tastes that taste great together."

Lois: "Wow, Lois, 007's got nothing on you."

007 is the code number of author Ian Fleming's James Bond, the British secret agent with a "license to kill."
