Episode Quotes |
| |
Jimmy Olsen: I figured you could use an escape from your real life soap opera.
Chloe: What do you mean?
Jimmy Olsen: Well, you live it every day but from the outside. Your life's got Cagney and Stanwyck written all over it. You've got your billionaire mogul. You got the confused damsel who chose money over love and a mysterious best friend who shows up everywhere because he can't seem to get a real job. Not to mention the steadfast dame they all depend on.
Chloe: Wow. A real glimpse into the mind of Jimmy Olsen.
| Clark: I should have been watching her. Ever since she married Lex, I've been so angry...
Chloe: Clark, tell me you are not making this your fault.
Clark: I've always been there for her until now. I gotta find out who did this.
| Clark: Eyes back in your head, Olsen.
Jimmy Olsen: I didn't peg you as the kinda guy with a secret identity.
Clark: And, you're never gonna. Now, suppose you tell me what story you're chasing.
Jimmy Olsen: No story, just... thirsty.
Clark: Come on. A guy like you with a reputation to uphold? You wouldn't be caught a hundred yards of this place unless you were sitting on a big scoop.
Lionel: Rye whiskey. Rocks. Put it on his tab, Joe. Name's Kent. You stroll in here with this... crackerjack kid. You trying to land me in the cooler?
Clark: Cool your jets, mack. Jimmy here is just a little down on love. Ain't you, Jimmy?
Lionel: Poor sucker. Yep, dames is poison.
| Clark: So, which Luthor are you after? Better wipe that newsy smile off your face. Luthor can smell fresh blood a mile away.
Jimmy Olsen: Fresh?! Now, you listen here, Kent!
Clark: Relax. I'm one of the good guys.
Jimmy Olsen: That's what they all say.
| Clark: I should've known better. Rule number one - never get mixed up with a girl. Not when you're on the job.
Jimmy Olsen: On the job? You're a cop?
Clark: Undercover unit, I was sent here to watch Lex Luthor. Falling in love with his wife, that was... that was my mistake.
Jimmy Olsen: Those were some eyes that she had. Would have made any guy want to be a hero.
Clark: Yeah, well, those eyes just got you the electric chair. Someone should've told you, kid. There are no heroes in Metropolis.
| Lionel: Busy day, Ms. Lane?
Lois: Does breaking and entering not mean anything to rich people?
Lionel: About as much as removing evidence from a crime scene.
| Lois: You didn't know Lex was working with Senator Burke, did you? Wow. You have got to give Lana major props for double-crossing both Luthors.
Lionel: Be careful... Ms. Lane. Whoever's protecting Senator Burke hired someone to kill the wife of a Luthor. I doubt whether they'd think twice about silencing you.
| Lana: Chloe, if I could tell you, I would. It's complicated.
Chloe: I'm a quick learner.
Lana: Lionel. He's been forcing me to dig into Lex and turn over everything to him.
Chloe: Lionel has you spying on Lex? But, instead of giving him the information you found, you were gonna give it to the papers? Why?
Lana: It was my only way to get out from under them.
Chloe: I don't understand. I mean, Lionel has a league of minions. Why you?
Lana: He needed someone on the inside. Someone who could get close to Lex.
Chloe: Holy... Lana, is that why you went through with the wedding? Why would you do that?
Lana: To protect Clark.
Chloe: From what? Clark can take care of himself.
Lana: What about his weakness? Chloe, you admitted yourself that he has one. Whatever Clark is capable of, there's something stronger than him, isn't there?
Chloe: Lana, if you are keeping this from Clark because you're trying to protect him, he needs to know.
Lana: He can't. Chloe, I know that you confide everything in him but I need you to trust me. Clark's life could depend on it.
| Chloe: First, ouch. Second, if you really want to help, Clark, just stay out of it, okay? Please.
Clark: I'm gonna find Lana's attacker... with or without you.
Chloe: Clark, how long have you kept your secret from Lana because you were trying to protect her?
Clark: Are you trying to tell me that Lana's doing this to protect me?
Chloe: Look, all I'm saying is that sometimes people do things that you don't expect and you don't understand. And, sometimes they have a really good reason for it.
Clark: As much as I want to believe that that reason is Lex...
Chloe: We both know he'd never do anything to hurt her.
Clark: Well, if it's not Lex, then... there's only one other person who would manipulate her like that.
| Jimmy Olsen: Just my luck. Finally get a photo on page one - I'm in front of the camera, not behind it.
Chloe: Oh, come on. Even I was impressed with the Sam Spade quick-thinking. You can't tell me all that just came from a bonk on the noggin.
Jimmy Olsen: You know, it was so weird. Half of it made sense. But, Lana and Lionel working together and Clark Kent leading a double life as a reporter by day and crime-fighter by night... you know, it's funny what your mind will cook up.
