===
Jonathan Kent: Your real parents weren't exactly from around... here. Clark Kent: Where are they from? [Jonathan looks up at the sky] Clark Kent: What are you trying to tell me, Dad?

Lana Lang: And you're wondering what I'm doing here now. Clark Kent: Not that I don't enjoy the company, but yes, I was.

Clark Kent: You need to talk to Mom. I think I really freaked her out this time. Jonathan Kent: You also made her really proud, Clark. Clark Kent: Dad, something else happened to me this morning.

Dr. Groll: "All due respect, I work for Lex and not his girlfriend."
Lana Lang: "I'm not interested in your respect, Dr. Groll. I'm much more interested in your 14 years of employment here. Your two girls that are now in prestigious prep schools. That new home that you built on Sparling Lane. You have a pretty wonderful life."
Dr. Groll: "Are you threatening me?"
Lana Lang: "It just came to my attention that if the government or your colleagues found out that you were testing alien weapons, this life that you have worked so hard for may take an unfortunate turn."
===
Lana Lang: We've already met. Lex Luthor: I seriously doubt I'd forget meeting you. Lana Lang: You were a little preoccupied at the time. Lex Luthor: I get the feeling I didn't make a great first impression. Lana Lang: When I was ten, I went to Metropolis for a riding competition. Your father invited us to stay over. My aunt said you had an indoor pool. When I went to check it out, I found you and a girl skinny dipping. I think you were teaching her the breast stroke. Lex Luthor: That was you? Wow. You're all grown up now.
===
Lionel Luthor: "Lex, have I done anything in the recent past to offend you?"
Lex Luthor: "There are so many ways I could answer that."
===
Oliver/Green Arrow: "You have every newspaper in the country calling this guy "Green Arrow." He's got a real following."
Lois Lane: "Yeah, well so did Charles Manson."
===
Chloe: "So how'd you let this guy slip through your fingers?"
Clark Kent: "This Green Arrow bandit has a lot of gadgets."
Chloe: "Gadgets? Against the man of steel?"
Clark Kent: "He's good, all right?"
Chloe: "Fine. Backing off."
===
Oliver/Green Arrow: "I saved you."
Lois Lane: "Yeah- from goons who were trying to find you. They're not the only one with a "V" for Vendetta on your little leather ass."
Oliver/Green Arrow: "Little? I've really been working on the glutes lately, too."
Lois Lane: "Did the humor come with the costume?"
Oliver/Green Arrow: "Did the "Tomb Raider" routine come from wanting daddy's attention?"
===
Oliver/Green Arrow: "Clark, you have abilities I couldn't even dream of. And I admire that you use them to save the people you're close to."
Clark Kent: But?"
Oliver/Green Arrow: "There's a whole world of people out there, Clark. They need us. With your potential... you can't wait for them to come to you. When you're ready to do something about that, you let me know."
===
Oliver/Green Arrow: "Well, you seem to have a crystal-clear idea of what's right and what's wrong. You decide who it belongs to."
Clark Kent: "It's not as clear as it used to be."
===
Lois: "The lady requires a show of skill before rewarding her favor."
Oliver/Green Arrow: "Which is actually where I was going with the kiss."
===
Oliver/Green Arrow: "You have a quick tongue. I find that very attractive."
Lois: "Well, keep it in your quiver, Jolly Green Bandit."
===
Party Guest: "Tarzan and park rangers both love the wild."
Gloria: "And swinging on vines."

Lionel Luthor: You know perfectly well how I feel about you. Lex Luthor: Hence, I'm at a crap factory in Smallville.
===
Martha Kent: I thought I heard the door.Lois: Yeah. Your pledge finally sailed in from Queen Industries.Martha: Where's the man who came with it?Lois: The courier? Oh, I gave him his tip and sent him on his merry little way.Martha: Handsome, chiseled features with a smile that could light up a barn?Lois: Mrs. Kent, do you have a crush on the courier?Martha: You mean the billionaire CEO who stopped by to talk about his financial support of my platform? No, Lois, I don't. I've never even met him, and now I'll probably never will.
===
Lois: "I'm out there jogging along, minding my own business when, out of nowhere, a barn door comes falling from the clear, blue sky and almost crushes me. How does that happen?"
Clark Kent: "Maybe it fell from an airplane."
Lois: "Good guess, but the only thing up there was a severely traumatized sparrow."
===
Clark Kent: Oh yeah. Joined the football team and poured some coffee. We're a couple of real rebels. Lana Lang: Long live the revolution.
===
Lex Luthor: "Well, I forgot what a concerned parent you are. That's why you're having me followed, isn't it? To make sure I don't destroy the rest of the world?"
Lionel Luthor: "If I were having you followed, son, you would never know it. I can guarantee you that."
===
Lex Luthor: "Look, not that it matters, but you're no longer running my exposé."
Lois Lane: "Nuh-uh. You'll have to take that up with my boss."
Lex Luthor: "I am your boss. Merry Christmas, Lois. I just bought the Daily Planet."
===
Lana Lang: "Everyone stands for something, Clark. What do you stand for?"
Clark Kent: "I stand for truth, justice, and... other stuff."
===
Pete Ross: He had a killer tree fort his dad built in the woods. Clark Kent: It was okay. Pete Ross: Clark never liked it. He used to get sick just walking over there. Chloe Sullivan: How come? Pete Ross: He was afraid of heights. Clark Kent: I didn't believe it was structurally sound.
===
Jonathan Kent: I don't know. Seems kind of out there. Martha Kent: This coming from the man who's been hiding a spaceship in his storm cellar for the last 12 years. [she leaves]
===
Adrian: "You created me in a test tube, you kept me like some pet, so you could have a brother? Is that why you couldn't get rid of me?"
Lex Luthor: "You're not my brother!" (shoots Adrian) "You're a mistake."
===
Jimmy: "This is a really bad idea. You know, maybe we should call someone."
Chloe: (yells) "Hello? Is anyone there?"
Jimmy: "No, I was thinking more like authority figures who carried weapons, you know?"
===
(sound of a scream)
Chloe: "That came from the path."
Jimmy Olsen: "Yeah, we should really go check that out in the really dark woods."
===
Chloe: "When you escaped from that Kryptonian Land of the Lost, I bet you didn’t think that you’d be rewarded by having to save Lex Luthor while battling a raging head cold, huh?"
Clark Kent: "Not exactly the goodbye gift I was expecting, no."
===
Chloe: "Clark, with a sneeze like yours, that says a lot about your lung capacity. Now just take a really deep breath and blow it out as hard as you can."
Clark Kent: "That's a steel door, it's not a birthday cake."
Chloe: "I don't see anything else working. Come on, let's see what you got. Huff, puff, and blow this door down."
===
Chloe Sullivan: I've already started getting hate mail. Clark Kent: You seem very happy about that, why? Chloe Sullivan: Because it means I'm hitting a nerve. Besides, between the abysmal sentence structure and generous use of obscenities, I got a pretty good idea of who's been sending it. Pete Ross: If you think my teammates have been reading the Torch, you're giving them way too much credit.
===
Coach Walt Arnold: Look at Ross here. He doesn't have a lick of natural talent, but he's got a truckload of heart. Pete Ross: Thanks... I guess.
===
Lois: "Read it."
Chloe: "Funny, I don’t remember there being an “e” in tornado."
Lois: "It’s just a little typo."
Chloe: "And the extra “h” in weather?"
===
Jimmy Olsen: "My (radio) handle? “Jimmy the Infuriator.”"
Chloe: "Why does that not surprise me?"
===
Coach Walt Arnold: Yeah, I remember. Jonathan Kent was one of the best athletes I ever coached. A lot of God-given talent. It's in your genes, Kent. Clark Kent: Actually, I'm adopted.
===
Lois Lane: "Well, I wasn't gonna give in to you, but the tights, you're totally pulling it off."
Lex Luthor: "You should see him in a tutu."
===
Zod (possessed Lex): "Perhaps I’ve underestimated the females of your species."
Lana: "Maybe you just underestimated me."
===
Zod/Lex: Do you really think Zod cares what a primitive like you believes?Lana: If Lex is really dead, then why waste your time with a primitive like me?Zod/Lex: To bear witness to the end of the human era and the rebirth of Krypton.Lana: Krypton?Zod/Lex: A shining jewel in a vast, dark universe. And you have the privilege of playing a part in its resurrection.
===
Clark: I won't let you destroy Earth... like you did Krypton.Zod/Lex: Jor-El couldn't stop me, and neither will his son.Clark: Then I'll die trying.Zod/Lex: But you won't be the only one. These humans you care so much about... Swear your allegiance to me, and I will allow the ones you love the most to live. Kneel before Zod. Kneel.
===
Lionel Luthor: "I suggest you concentrate on remembering every little minute detail of that horrific day."
Lex: "Well, I guess I should have kept a blog, because I don't remember
