- Clark Kent: I don't see myself being a farmer when I grow up.
- Lana Lang: Well, what do you want to do?
- Clark Kent: I'm not sure as long as it doesn't involve putting on a suit and doing a lot of flying.
- [Clark and Chloe want Kyle to prove he has the power of persuasion]
- Kyle Tippet: [using his power on Chloe] You have feelings for Clark, don't you, Chloe? You see him, and you want him. All this time, you've been hiding it. Now you can show him.
- [Chloe grabs Clark and kisses him]
- Chloe Sullivan: [to Kyle, with no memory of what just happened] Okay, come on, I'm ready.
- [Kyle glances at Clark]
- Chloe Sullivan: [to Clark] What? Why are you looking at me like that? And why is my mouth minty?
- Clark Kent: Let's just say he proved his point.
- Kyle Tippet: Do you know what it's like to have to hide because of who you are?
- Clark Kent: Yes, I do. But when you have a gift, you can't just hide in a hole and hope it goes away.
- Lex Luthor: That, my friend, is the key to leadership. Not only knowing you're right, but convincing everyone else. If you can do that, the world's your oyster.
- Lex Luthor: I always knew you were keeping secrets from me, Clark. But I never thought they were this good.
- Bob Rickman: Hello, Lex.
- [he offers a handshake, which Lex doesn't take]
- Bob Rickman: Oh, come on, Lex. This "Art of War" stuff is for amateurs.
- Lex Luthor: It's not that. I just don't like you.
- Clark Kent: Don't do this. I'm your friend.
- Lex Luthor: Oh, please. You think I don't see the way your parents look at me, the way half the town looks at me? You're no different. Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect are fear are the best you can hope for.
