Episode Quotes
Lana: No, it's okay.
Lex: Lana, you were shot.
Lana: Takes more than a bullet to stop a Luthor.

Clark: We have to talk.
Lionel: Clark, you should, uh, try picking up a phone occasionally, might be quicker. Oh, oh, maybe not.
Clark: What do you know about Lana?
Lionel: (chuckles) Letting go - never been one of your strong points, was it?
Clark: Telling the truth was never one of yours.

Lionel: It's surprising, Clark, what people will do when they, uh, feel they have no other options.
Clark: If I find out that you had anything to do with Lana marrying Lex... the gloves will come off. How do you like that option?

Lois: Come on, it's not that bad. Jimmy is coming back... one day... maybe. You know, besides, distance is good for the relationship. That is what all the guys who've moved away from me have said.
Chloe: Lois, you should really stick to investigative reporting and out of the advice column.

Lois: Thanks but I can take care of myself.
Martha: Nobody's doubting that but I think you'd be safer here at the farm.
Clark: It'll be like old times, like when you first got to Smallville.
Lois: Oh, you're just hoping to catch me in the shower again. I mean, um, thank you. I really appreciate it.

Clark: Lana, whatever reason you had to go through with the wedding - it was the wrong choice. You have no idea what he's capable of.
Lana: You'd be surprised what I know.
Clark: Then why are you still here?
Lana: We all have our secrets, Clark. Sometimes we have to keep them to protect the people that we care about.

Chloe: (after Clark disappears to find Lois before she's finished her sentence) Do you ever get used to that?
Martha: Not really.

Clark: You and Dad always taught me to put other people first. To use my abilities to help those in need. You have the chance to affect so many people. To change so many lives if you go to Washington. It's where you need to be if you really wanna make a difference, Mom. And, it's where people like Wes need you to be.

Lana: Lex, I'm sorry. There is no excuse, my curiosity got the best of me.
Lex: You're not a cat, Lana. Don't skulk around like one.
Lana: It won't happen again.
Lex: Every time I open my heart to someone I care about... I've ended up being very disappointed. If-if you ever betrayed me... I don't know what I'd do.
Lana: I'd never hurt the man I love.

Clark: Lois, I'm sorry.
Lana: Don't be sorry for me... be sorry for Lex. He's gonna pay for what he did to Wes... and I'm gonna make damned sure that he doesn't do this to anyone else.

Lex: I promise you, Doctor. This isn't the end of Project Ares. This is just the beginning.
