Episode Quotes
 
Lex: You know, I was only gone for a week... but actually got a little homesick...
Lana: What's so special about Smallville?
Lex: Oh, I don't know... cows... corn fields... wide open spaces...
Lana: I missed you, too.
Lex: You have no idea...
 
(Lois and Clark at Graham's party)
Lois and Clark: What are you doing here?!
 
(Lex to Lana)
Lex: Now I have more to live for.
 
Lana: Actually, I wasn’t your only visitor. Clark stopped by earlier.
Lex: Really?
Lana: ...Yeah.
Lex: It’s too bad it takes a near-death experience to bring old friends together.
 
Chloe: (to Clark) You know, Lana's moved on. Maybe it's time you started doing the same thing.
 
Clark: I guess this a bad time to ask for a favor?
Chloe: Are you kidding me? The amount of times you saved my butt you can pull a coin from the favor bank anytime you need. What's up?
Clark: Somebody sent me a 50-inch plasma with all the bells and whistles -- forgot to sign the gift card.
Chloe: Clark, that's not a problem. That's winning the Trifecta. When's movie night?
 
Lois: (to Graham) Official warning - I'm a third degree black belt. That means I can't be held liable for any funeral costs.
 
Clark: Lana has no idea what she's getting herself into.
Chloe: Clark, let me remind you that you broke up with her - that means Lana can date whoever she wants, with or without your written permission.
Clark: I know. But, I still care about her and I don't want to just stand by and watch her get hurt.
Chloe: Look, I hate to be the one to say this but you don't have a choice.
 
Graham Garrett: Bad break up? I've had a few of those.
Clark: You're the guy from the courthouse.
Graham Garrett: And, you're a tough man to please! What's the problem? You don't watch TV?
Clark: Wait, you sent that?
Graham Garrett: You saved my life. If it wasn't for Clark Kent, I'd be in a morgue right now with tire tracks across my forehead!
 
Graham Garrett: I'm staying in Metropolis, I'll take you out on the town.
Clark: Thanks, but really, I'm okay.
Graham Garrett: You're hanging out in a barn. Alone. In the middle of nowhere. That doesn't seem too okay to me.
 
Graham Garrett: You're a lot deeper than I gave you credit for. You must've really loved your ex. Then, what's the problem? Let's get you two back together.
Clark: It's a little late for that.
Graham Garrett: It's never too late.
Clark: It is when she's already with someone else.
Graham Garrett: That might make it more difficult but not impossible. Who's the lucky bastard?
Clark: Someone I used to call my friend.
 
Graham Garrett: Quite a sweet tooth you got there!
Lois: Heh, my dentist would agree. I thought you were headin' outta town?
Graham Garrett: I was but I couldn't get a certain someone out of my mind. Someone with a beautiful smile and apparently, a lot of cavities.
Lois: Look, if you think I'm blushing, I'm just a little sunburnt.
 
Lois: Hey, you weren't just in my bathroom, were you?
Clark: Lois, I just walked in the apartment.
Lois: Well, that's weird because I could've sworn someone was in there watching me.
Clark: Graham.
Lois: You're blaming Graham? That's pathetic!
Clark: Lois, if you see him, you have to stay away...
Lois: Why is it you feel the need to lob a grenade at every guy that I date?!
 
Lois: (to Chloe) And, you know what, to be perfectly honest, I am starting to get a little tired of him thinking I need his approval just to go on a simple date. Can you please tell me why Clark Kent is so obsessed with my love life?
 
Lois: Why can't I just meet a decent guy from a decent family who happens not to be a psychopath?
Martha: Oh, Lois. You know, when I was your age, I wasn't dating Prince Charmings, either.
Lois: Really?
Martha: Yeah. I used to attract the dark, mysterious type, too. Until I met Jonathan.
Lois: See, what worries me is that when my Jonathan finally does come around... I'll be looking the other way and I'll miss him completely.
Martha: Well, you have to keep a closer watch. You know, I think we go through these bad relationships for a reason.
Lois: Well, if there's a good reason for all the pain and aggravation, I'm dying to know.
Martha: Maybe you have to get through all the wrong men so you can recognise the right one.
 
Chloe: I mean, ask a doctor or a firefighter or anyone in the hero business. You save first and you ask questions later.
Clark: I guess you're right.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
With all of Clark's amazing powers how come he didn't hear the invisible man hanging over his shoulder in the DP, when Chloe was talking about meteor rocks.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Graham: Go easy on me – I’m a friend of Clark’s. Are you his girlfriend?
Lois: Not in this lifetime.

Sooner in the Superman Mythos Lois actually does fall in love with Clark Kent, this is a direct tease of what is to come.
 
Lois: I'll be wearing my glass slippers.

Reference to the popular infamous Cinderella fairy tale.
 
Lois: Can I ask why you’re playing Daddy Warbucks with the guy?

Daddy Warbucks is the foster father of Little Orphan Annie.
 
 
Episode References
 
Lana: I don’t owe Clark anything, Lex – especially the truth.

Lana is still holding a grudge against Clark because Clark never told her the truth or his secret. This really came into effect during the 100th episode Reckoning.
