Quotes 

• [after Clark saves Lana from a machine-gun-toting student vigilante] 

  Lana Lang : What I don't understand is... you're willing to walk into bullets for me, but you're not willing to share what's inside. Clark, if you don't open up to the people that love you, you'll always be alone. I can't believe you want to spend your life like that.

  Clark Kent : I may not have a choice.

  Lana Lang : You always have a choice.

• Chloe Sullivan : Think about it, Clark. Lex survived the meteor shower, a near-fatal car accident, and a plane crash? Even he doesn't have enough money to afford a guardian angel with that much clout. Check this out. Lex's medical records show that he has a white-blood cell count that is off the charts. I mean, it's more than enough to raise an eyebrow.

  Clark Kent : You've been keeping a file on Lex, too. Chloe, didn't you learn your lesson about keeping your secret files?

  Chloe Sullivan : They're my own private notes. Since when is curiosity a crime?

  Clark Kent : Since someone took your database and turned it into a personal hit list. Van hat a printout of the same file on his bulletin board.

  Chloe Sullivan : Van helped network half these computers. He must have cracked my password. Oh, god, Clark, this is all my fault.

  Clark Kent : Look, Chloe, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you. It's not like you pulled the trigger.

  Chloe Sullivan : No. I just loaded the gun and pointed it in the right direction.

• Lana Lang : [after Clark survives Van's assault]  Clark, how did you...?

  Clark Kent : [showing her his bulletproof vest]  It's all about dressing for the occasion.

  Lana Lang : What is that? Lead?

• Chloe Sullivan : Check out what my connection at the coroner's office gave me. You're not gonna see anything of this in Jake's official autopsy report. Believe it or not, they're gills.

  Lana Lang : That's disgusting.

  Clark Kent : Personally, I find the gaping bullet wound more disturbing.

  Lana Lang : Okay, if that shooter hadn't shown up when he did, I'd be dead. So forgive me if I don't have more sympathy for the gill boy who tried to drown me.

  Clark Kent : Jake was exposed to the meteor rocks. He didn't ask for them.

  Lana Lang : No, just like Greg Arkin didn't ask to become a bug boy, and Tina Greer didn't ask to become a bone morpher. Look, the fact is when they got their powers, they went psycho and tried to kill me. Tina even came back for seconds. Chloe's been attacked by more of these people than me. You remember Justin Gaines and Sean Kelvin?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. One tried to psychically impale me with farm implements, and the other just wanted my body heat. Thanks for the memories.

  Clark Kent : I'm just saying a shot in the head is a little more extreme.

  Lana Lang : What about all the times that you've saved us from these people, Clark? What makes you so different from this shooter?

  Clark Kent : For starters, I've never killed anyone.

  Lana Lang : Then how do you explain Tina Greer? The police found her body impaled in the alley.

  Clark Kent : What happened to her she did to herself. I was protecting you.

  Lana Lang : Spoken like a true vigilante.

• Lex Luthor : [about Van]  Maybe that kid was right about me.

  Clark Kent : Lex, he's a fanatic.

  Lex Luthor : Oh, and Chloe Sullivan's not?
