- Chloe Sullivan: Lois, if you found out something, something someone didn't want you to know about them, would you tell them?
- Lois Lane: That depends. Is that person someone you care about?
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah.
- Lois Lane: And does keeping the secret hurt anyone?
- Chloe Sullivan: No.
- Lois Lane: Then my answer is no. If I really cared about that person, I wouldn't tell them that I knew. But I would go out of my way to be supportive of them so that hopefully, one day, they would be comfortable enough to tell me themselves.
- Jonathan Kent: What happened to Alicia, it wasn't your fault.
- Clark Kent: If I'd have believed her, she wouldn't be dead.
- Jonathan Kent: Clark... she was framed. There's... there's no way you could have known that.
- Clark Kent: I could have trusted her. Did you know that Alicia wanted me to go the sheriff with her and tell her everything? Alicia thought that if people knew the truth about me and what I can do, they wouldn't be so quick to judge her. But I didn't go. I was too afraid of what people might think. How they would react. But what if she was right? Because if people knew what I could do, and who I really am, maybe she'd still be alive. And I just can't forgive myself for that.
