Recap
Corporate executive Bob Rickman comes to see environmentalist Paul Hendrix at his office at the Center for Environmental Protection. Hendrix says that Rickman Industries' operations in Smallville are suspect, and they've found evidence of ground water contamination at his other plants. When Rickman asks if there's anything he can do to convince Hendrix to stop filing a lawsuit against him and stop construction, Hendrix says that he can't be bought off like others. Rickman angrily insists that he's never bought anyone off, and then offers to shake hands. When he does, there's a green glow and Rickman directs Hendrix's attention to the window and says there's one way to stop all the pain that he feels. As Rickman leaves, he calls his chauffeur and says that they're heading for Smallville. Outside, Hendrix falls from his office onto a taxi...Read the full recap

Dr. Toby: What's a guy gotta do to get a drink around here?
Lex: Finish sewing.

(after being mind-controlled into kissing Clark)
Chloe: What? Why are you looking at me like that? And why is my mouth minty?
Clark: Let's just say he proved his point.
Chloe: Oh... God, did I just...?
Clark: Don't worry. It was... fine.

Clark: Don't worry. It was... fine.
Kyle Tippet: Do you know what it's like to have to hide because of who you are?
Clark: Yes, I do. But when you have a gift you can't just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.
Clark: Yes, I do. But when you have a gift you can't just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.
Bob Rickman: Well I'd hate to think that you failed to get the job done.
Lex: Relax. Failing isn't something I do.
Lex: Relax. Failing isn't something I do.
Lex: I always knew you were keeping secrets from me, Clark... but I never thought they were this good. Clark? You know that guy you're trying to protect? I'm going to shoot him now.
Clark: Lex!
Lex: There you are.
Clark: Don't do this. I'm your friend.
Lex: Oh, please. You think I don't see the way your parents look at me? The way half the town looks at me? You're no different. Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect and fear are the best you can hope for.
Clark: Rickman's doing this to you.
Lex: What if he did?
Clark: You hate Rickman!
Lex: You can learn a lot from someone you hate.
Clark: Lex!
Lex: There you are.
Clark: Don't do this. I'm your friend.

Lex: What if he did?
Clark: You hate Rickman!
Lex: You can learn a lot from someone you hate.
Clark: It's still strange to think that he and Rickman were once best friends. Think we'll ever end up like that?
Lex: Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is going to be the stuff of legends.
Lex: Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is going to be the stuff of legends.
Episode Goofs
At the Torch, Chloe shows Clark and Pete a newspaper article on Kyle's arrest, but it's clear a mock-up, since the photo is glued to the page.
When Kyle uses his power on Chloe, she's facing him. The camera cuts to a reaction shot of Clark, and Chloe starts to turn her head. In the next shot, Chloe is facing Kyle and starts to turn her head again.
When Lex swipes his credit card to activate the gas pump, he puts in the wrong side, the one without a magnetic stripe on it.
Cultural References
Kyle Tippit: He's somewhere between Bigfoot and the Blair Witch.
Lex: So you're Atticus.
