Episode Quotes
Lois: I-I just thought we agreed that our daily life would be off the record.
Grant Gabriel: We're hiding in a storage closet... what more do you want from me?!
Lois: Well, if I'm gonna keep our... this a secret, I need to make sure that the only part of my body earning me stories is my reporter's nose.
Grant Gabriel: I didn't give you the story. Lex requested you.
Lois: What?!
Chloe: (on the phone) Clark? Hi, it's your daily freak-out call. Seriously, two weeks with no call back, what's going on? Lana said you guys smoothed everything out before you went to the Fortress and I'm getting tired of lying about you being in Minnesota. I'm getting really angry or really scared.
Lois: Hey, was that Clark? He said that he would fix our satellite dish two weeks ago, it still looks like Jack Frost puked all over the TV!
Chloe: Yeah, he's still in Minnesota, spending the holidays with Kara.
Grant Gabriel: (to Lex after a bout of fencing) When I suggested a dinner meeting, I was hoping to consume calories, not burn them!
Grant Gabriel: Lois has a mysterious way of diving for a penny and coming up with the Holy Grail.
Grant: Congratulations on the Daily Planet. Wonderful. One more piece in my life you can control, starting with my creation.
Lex: I can't believe you let that lunatic sneak his ideas into your head. You're my brother.
Grant: No, Lex. I'm an experiment. Beneath all that arrogance, your cracks are starting to show. Did you really think you could keep this a secret? Or are you so desperate to mean something to someone, it was worth the risk?
Lex: You can't punish me for wanting a family.
Grant: How am I supposed to feel, being the product of a man who's destroyed everything he's ever touched?
Lex: No. You're different, Julian. If I didn't love you, you wouldn't be here.
Grant: I'm living proof you've forgotten how to love. But if you wanna play God, you might wanna remember his greatest gift, free will. Let me live my life.
