Episode Quotes
Clark: Look for anything my dad might be warning me about.

Clark: All those years we were friends... were you just waiting for me to step aside so you could swoop in and make your move?
Lex: I don't know, Clark. All those years you told Lana you loved her... were you just waiting to walk away and break her heart? Look, there's a natural tendency to blame the person who's replaced you, I get that... but I didn't take Lana from you. You lost her all by yourself.
Lex: I don't know, Clark. All those years you told Lana you loved her... were you just waiting to walk away and break her heart? Look, there's a natural tendency to blame the person who's replaced you, I get that... but I didn't take Lana from you. You lost her all by yourself.
Clark: You killed my father!
Lionel: No, Clark...
Clark: What happened, Lionel? He wouldn't go along with your plan?
Lionel: No, Clark...
Clark: What happened, Lionel? He wouldn't go along with your plan?
Chloe: What does it say?
Clark: Zod is coming.
Clark: Zod is coming.
Lex: (to Milton Fine) Please, help yourself. Everybody else does.
Lionel: I don't know what any of this means, Ms. Sullivan, I am simply the oracle. I believe the answers could be found with a visit to your Fortress.
Clark: Last time someone talked me into taking them to the Fortress, it was a trick to release General Zod.
Chloe: Yeah, I have plans this weekend so if we can protect Smallville from the wrath of Krypton's deadliest villain, that would be great.

Jonathan: I'm sorry, Clark... but to save this world... you've gotta kill Lionel Luthor.
Lionel: You're involved with Milton Fine. I know that he's been smuggling some of the deadliest viruses in the world into this country with your help.
Lex: Oh, don't worry, dad. We're not gonna put them in any Halloween candy.
Lex: Oh, don't worry, dad. We're not gonna put them in any Halloween candy.
Martha: Are-are you talking about Lionel? What is it? What is he doing?
Jonathan: He's going to drown you all in your own blood... just like he did me.
Jonathan: He's going to drown you all in your own blood... just like he did me.
Chloe: (on Clark and Lionel working together) So, hell freezes over and no-one even bothers to tell me?
Lex: (to Clark) Lana called me. I don't wanna hear you were rifling through her stuff like a crazy roommate again. If you want something from me, don't go running to Lana to find it.
Clark: I appreciate the concern but Lana and I are none of your business.
Lois: Please, Smallville. I've had three exes put under a military surveillance. I'm hardly qualified to dish out post-relationship tact... but... it's time for some tough love. Lana's going to move on.
Clark: She already has... with Lex.
Lois: And it sucks... but you gotta trust your gut that you did this for a reason... whatever reasons guys have for dumping hot, smart, fun girls these days. Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole nightstalker routine... that is gonna ruin any of the good feelings that Lana has for you.
Clark: If there are any.
Lois: Please, Smallville. I've had three exes put under a military surveillance. I'm hardly qualified to dish out post-relationship tact... but... it's time for some tough love. Lana's going to move on.

Clark: If there are any.
Clark: Except I can't quite imagine there is anyone else out there.
Lois: Oh, you never know,, you'll find that all this time you haven't been saving for a bike... you've really been saving for a Harley.
Clark: There are times when I think you don't know me at all... and others where I think you know me better than anyone.
Lois: Oh, you never know,, you'll find that all this time you haven't been saving for a bike... you've really been saving for a Harley.
Clark: There are times when I think you don't know me at all... and others where I think you know me better than anyone.
