Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : [Clark is standing at the loft window looking at the stars in quiet reflection as Lex appears in the darkness below]  I came to say thank you.

  [Clark looks at him deifiantly as he steps into the light] 

  Lex Luthor : I know you were only trying to help me.

  Clark Kent : I hope you would have done the same for me.

  Lex Luthor : What do you want from me?

  Clark Kent : I want you to change.

  Lex Luthor : I'm not sure if I can.

  Clark Kent : Lex, I realized that there's so much I don't know about you. I mean, what else don't I know about you?

  Lex Luthor : You don't know that sometimes I wonder why I keep going. Why I do the things I do. I treated those women terribly Clark. I see that now.

  Clark Kent : Well, that's a start.

  Lex Luthor : You know when that fire was coming towards me I thought "Good, save the world a lot of grief." But then the fire went out and fate gave me a second chance.

  Clark Kent : Lex, the way things have been between us the last few days... I felt your father was being more honest with me than you were. I hated that feeling. I felt like we were enemies.

  Lex Luthor : Don't give up on me yet.

• Clark Kent : You were burning evidence, Lex. Not exactly actions of an innocent man.

  Lex Luthor : Come on, Clark! Think about it. If I killed that girl, why would I take a nap next to her body? So the maid could find me? It doesn't make any sense.

  Clark Kent : Neither does breaking into her house, but you did that. You better be honest with me, because right now, I'm an accomplice.

  Lex Luthor : I didn't ask you to show up.

• Lex Luthor : Clark, you know I didn't do this. It's my father trying to get back at me. He knows about all these stalkers. LuthorCorp's lawyers compiled a database of them last year. My father knew Eve would be the perfect victim to make it look like I had motive.

  Clark Kent : I don't think it's your father, Lex. I went to see him. He wants to help.

  Lex Luthor : He was the one who sent you looking for a car, wasn't he?

  Clark Kent : Yes.

  Lex Luthor : You're playing right into his hands.

  Clark Kent : Lex...

  Lex Luthor : You can't straddle the fence on this one, Clark! My father and I are enemies! You have to decide who you really trust.

• Shannon Bell : Corrine? It's the D.A.

  Corinne Hartford : Thank you, Shannon. I'll be right there. You, stay put. It's a media circus out there, and I don't want you saying anything stupid.

  Lex Luthor : Your bedside manner needs work.

  Corinne Hartford : I'm not here to hold you hand, Lex. You want a hug, call your mother.

• [first lines] 

  Lex Luthor : What are you listening to?

  Shannon Bell : My favorite song.

  [she hands him an earphone] 

  Lex Luthor : What's your name?

  Shannon Bell : Doesn't really matter.
