Clark: Lana, I'm gonna find this thing before it hurts anyone else.
Lana: I know you will. You've become the man that I've always known you could be.

Clark: If he hadn't sacrificed his abilities to save my life, that bullet wouldn't have left a scratch.
Oliver: And, now you feel guilty, and that's your thing, and I get it, that's great but standing here doing nothing's not gonna solve anything.
Clark: Do you know what he was working on?
Oliver: No. I think you should follow your leads. And, I'll follow mine. Hey, let's face it. Teamwork's never really been our strong suit.

Tess: You have just as much presence... as Lex said you did. You'd have to to tame a Luthor.
Lana: High marks... coming from the woman entrusted with the Luthor legacy. He must have had a lot of faith in you.
Tess: It wasn't easy to earn.
Lana: I wonder how much of that trust would remain if he knew how much of his company's money you were siphoning into a project called Prometheus. Unless, of course, there's still someone higher than you calling the shots. Lex is alive. And, you know where he is, don't you?
Tess: Seems that you've been wasting a very gifted imagination, Miss Lang. The Planet runs a fiction section on Sundays, if you're interested.
Lana: I used to see that look in the mirror. You'll do anything to defend Lex, to protect him. He has a way of turning that kind of devotion against you.
Tess: You don't know Lex like I do.
Lana: For your sake, I hope you're right.

Chloe: (to Clark) Heroes don't take holidays. So, from what I can hack, it looks like our favorite martian has been pulling profiles from a handful of officers from the 44th Precinct. You know, I gotta say, being at the mercy of modern technology really sucks. I know, I know. I'm happy to be Brainiac-free. But, my evil upgrade was really... convenient.

Chloe: Clark, things always get messy when you start throwing around the Clark-Lana triangle, and I’m speaking from experience when I say that the third point always hurts.
Clark: I'm not trying to hurt anyone.

Clark: Seeing Lana come back, it's like she never left. You can't just stop loving someone, you know, just like that, right?
Chloe: I understand the need for closure, Clark, just... promise you're not gonna slam my cousin in the door.

Clark: Blood on a badge is blood on a badge, right? No matter what city you're in.
Danny Turpin: Wearing this badge is like putting a bull's-eye right over your heart. Meanwhile, we got these costumed idiots running around, getting in our way, taking all the credit. The Green Arrow? Red-Blue Blur?
Clark: Great Pumpkin.
Danny Turpin: Yeah.
Clark: You think they do more harm than good?
Danny Turpin: What I know is that cops got rules, capes don't.

Clark: Hey. Who are you supposed to be? Warrior Angel?
Danny's Son: No. I'm the Red-Blue Blur.
Danny Turpin: It's a losing battle.

Suzie Turpin: Thanks for looking out for him today. Losing his partner really tore him up. It's good to know that someone's still got his back out there.
Clark: How long did they ride together?
Suzie Turpin: Since they graduated the academy. One day they both went out, only Danny came home. Mike always thought he was bulletproof. Now, every night, I hold my breath, waiting for him to walk through that door. I know the world needs him but... we just need him more.

Tess: I guess I'm not as good a judge of character as I thought. It seems that you stole some sensitive information from me. And, I thought we were bonding.
Lana: Rain check on girls' night?
Tess: You know, it's nice to finally see what Lex saw in you. You're stunning. And devious.
Lana: What Lex saw in me was an equal, someone that he couldn't control.
Tess: Really? I guess I shouldn't send my condolences about the miscarriage, then, hm?
Lana: It gave me the perspective I needed to see Lex for who he really is.

Danny Turpin: Hey, these guys have my back. W-which is more than I can say for you.
Clark: I do have your back, Danny, and I might be the only one. This is not justice.
Danny Turpin: Joe, I'm just one man. What can one man do?
Clark: Ask yourself why you put that uniform on in the first place.

Clark: They're not all bad, Oliver. Some of them are out there every day, risking their lives and their families, trying to do the same thing we are.
Oliver: Yeah, I'm sure you're right. You know, I always forget - how many parolees did we rough up last month? Do you remember?
Clark: Of all people, I thought you would understand that this isn't just black and white.
Oliver: No matter how noble their intentions when they started, Clark, these people have gone too far.
Clark: And, you never have? Danny watched that guy kill his partner. Tell me you've never been tempted to look in the eyes of someone who just committed so much pain and just...
Oliver: Kill him. Kill him for the greater good? You gonna stand there and tell me that's what you believe? I didn't think so.
Clark: What I'm saying is that saving someone, truly saving them, is not about knocking them out and throwing them in a dark room. It's about helping them find their way back to the right side.
Oliver: You know what, Clark? Some people are beyond saving.

Clark: Could have used some backup out there. Why didn't you call me in sooner?
John: Same reason I've had to pull you from the brink of death before. Same reason you let your guard down last night. Pride. After knowing what it's like to truly feel powerful... to have the ability to change fate... it's hard to admit when you can't do it alone.
Oliver: I guess going solo has really caught up with us lately, huh?
Clark: You know, for everything Danny's crew did wrong, I have to say... knowing there's always someone there who has your back... that kind of brotherhood can make you feel like you could do anything.

Tess: When I thought my life was over, you gave me a reason to keep going. I wouldn't be who I am without you. I trusted you. Because I respected you. I've done everything you've ever asked. You've seen that with your own eyes and apparently with mine. But, not anymore. I hope you watch with rapt attention as your bank accounts close, as you lose all contact with the outside world, as your life disappears before your eyes. Goodbye, Lex. I loved you. You son of a bitch.

Tess: I’d like to discuss a merger.
Oliver: A merger? What kind of merger?
Tess: Any kind you want. Don’t keep me waiting.

Clark: Hey, Danny. Is it hard to put them through what you do every day?
Danny Turpin: You just can't lose sight of the people you're trying to protect, you know? It'd be harder not doing it. I do what I do to... just to keep them safe.

Clark: If I squint just right, it’s like we’re 14 again.
Lana: You say that like it’s a good thing. What’s up?
Clark: I couldn’t sleep.
Lana: So, you came to a coffee shop? Not your best plan, Mr. Kent.

Clark: Maybe it doesn't have to be all or nothing. For the last year, all I've done is sacrifice myself and everything that I love for the greater good. What if the rest of the world didn't have to come first?
Lana: The world needs you, Clark.
Clark: What about what we need?
