We Have a Lot to Talk About (1995)

K Callan: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : It's like we both, like all of the sudden aren't even sure that we *like* each other.

  Martha Kent : Oh, well you have to remember that she has a lot to think about.

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah you both do. You're taking some big steps it's bound to be scary.

  Clark Kent : I guess.

  Martha Kent : Oh Honey you sound so sad.

• Lois Lane : [a knock at the door]  Martha!

  Martha Kent : I know it's rude to stop by without calling first and even ruder to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong but I...

  Lois Lane : Clark told you?

  [Martha nods yes] 

  Lois Lane : Everything?

  [Martha draws an S on her chest] 

  Lois Lane : Come on in.

  Lois Lane : [Cuts to the middle of the conversation]  ... time. You know time to think it over, to get to know him for who he really is. That's not unreasonable right?

  Martha Kent : Oh not at all. But you need to understand that Clark has always been alone. When he was 13 and just beginning to be really strong, really, really strong, he made the decision on his own never to tell anybody. He said he wanted to fit in. But of course he couldn't, not really. It broke my heart watching him having to hide so many things, afraid he was always gonna be alone.

  Lois Lane : You know I love him.

  Martha Kent : Oh then tell him and make him tell you. You can get through everything else. God I turned Jonathan down four times before we finally made it down the aisle.

  Lois Lane : Really?

  Martha Kent : Yes I thought he was crazy. Every time I turned him down he'd go out and plow another field of snow.

  [They both laugh] 

  Martha Kent : This is so nice. Almost 30 years, you're the first woman I've ever been able to talk to about my boy.

  [They hug]
