Arrival (2005)

John Schneider: Jonathan Kent

Quotes 

• Martha Kent : [Looking at the Kent farmhouse with a gaping hole in it from where the meteor struck the house]  Our home...

  Jonathan Kent : It's just wood and plaster, Martha. A house can always be rebuilt.

  Martha Kent : I guess you're right.

  Jonathan Kent : [Clark walks toward his mom and dad]  But it does help to have a one-man construction team as a son.

  Martha Kent : Hi.

  Clark Kent : Hi.

  Jonathan Kent : [after observing a short pause, glad to be together again]  Don't worry, Clark, things will be back to normal soon enough.

  Clark Kent : Actually, things will be a lot more normal around here than you think.

  [pauses to prepare himself] 

  Clark Kent : My abilities are gone.

  Martha Kent : [In shock]  How?

  Clark Kent : Jor-El took them. But, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. All I've ever wanted is to be normal, and now, finally, I am.

  Martha Kent : It is different. You can get hurt now, you're vulnerable.

  Clark Kent : Isn't that what it means to be human?

  Jonathan Kent : No, I can't believe Jor-El would have given up on you that easily.

  Clark Kent : I took care of the danger he warned me about, and if losing my abilities is the consequence then I think he's done with me.

  [Walks to Jonathan and Martha and stands beside them] 

  Clark Kent : Look, none of that matters now. I'm ready to take a step to the future. We'll start by rebuilding this house, one board at a time.

• Jonathan Kent : [Martha wakes up in the hospital]  Well, Martha Kent, if you were trying to scare me, you did one heck of a job. For a minute there, I thought I lost you.

  Martha Kent : Hmm. I guess I found my way back.
