Smallville (TV Series)

Visitor (2003)

Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : Martha, what is it?

  Martha Kent : I'm not sure. I-I'm... I'm scared. I'm having these terrible headaches and mood swings, and my sleeping patterns are all upside-down.

  Jonathan Kent : Martha, Dr. Baker said that you're perfectly healthy. And that your pregnancy is absolutely normal.

  Martha Kent : Except for the way I was able to conceive. I want Helen Bryce to examine me, just to make sure.

  Jonathan Kent : No.

  Martha Kent : I trust her. She's seen Clark's blood. She knows that something brought me back, and she hasn't sent anybody knocking at our door, pressing us for answers.

  Jonathan Kent : Dr. Helen Bryce is intimately involved with Lex Luthor. If you need a second opinion, you can get it from any other doctor but Helen Bryce.

  Martha Kent : Why not?

  Jonathan Kent : Because I don't want our family secrets becoming pillow talk.

• Clark Kent : Dad, I don't know why you're so skeptical about this.

  Jonathan Kent : Because, Clark, it's hard for me to believe that that kid could heal a horse simply by touching it. It sounds like one of those old revival-meeting stories.

  Clark Kent : The vet couldn't believe it, either, but he gave Tyson a clean bill of health.

  Martha Kent : Cyrus wouldn't be the first person in Smallville to have unusual abilities.

  Clark Kent : Except I don't think he's from Smallville.

  [seeing their looks] 

  Clark Kent : Look, this is gonna sound crazy, and I didn't believe it myself at first, but now I'm starting to. I think there's a very strong possibility that Cryus is from Krypton.

  Jonathan Kent : Why would you think that?

  Clark Kent : He said he was.

  Jonathan Kent : He said he was from Krypton?

  Clark Kent : Well, he didn't use the name exactly, but I didn't know what it was called until Dr. Swann told me. But he said he came to Earth during the meteor shower. And there's more. Yesterday, I saw him start a fire with heat from his eyes.

  Martha Kent : What about strength or speed?

  Clark Kent : No, but...

  Jonathan Kent : Clark. Son, we know you want to believe this, but you don't even have the ability to heal.

  Clark Kent : That doesn't prove anything. I didn't get heat vision 'til last year. Maybe Cyrus and I will develop the same abilities. Or maybe people on Krypton don't have the same abilities at all. We don't know for sure. We've never met anyone else from there.

  Martha Kent : Sweetheart, Dr. Swann said you were the last survivor of your planet.

  Clark Kent : What if Dr. Swann is wrong? Look, don't you see? If I'm right, this means I'm not alone anymore.

• Dr. Helen Bryce : According to the charts your OB sent over, your pregnancy's been smooth sailing so far.

  Martha Kent : I don't know about that. Whatever we talk about is confidential, right?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : Of course.

  Martha Kent : You won't tell anyone? Not even... significant others?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : You're worried I'll tell Lex?

  Martha Kent : Jonathan. He doesn't know I'm here.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : I can assure you, everything in this office stays between you and me. Mrs. Kent, does your being here have anything to do with Clark's unusual blood work or... or your miraculous recovery? Because I'll be honest with you, I still don't understand what I saw that day.

• Clark Kent : The doctors say that Cyrus had a complete mental breakdown. His body's there, but his mind is gone. They don't know if he'll recover. They transferred him to a special hospital in Metropolis.

  Jonathan Kent : Son... how do you think Cyrus was able to draw your ship?

  Clark Kent : His house was near where you guys found me. My guess, he was outside and saw the ship land. Memories stayed with him, and over time he thought that past was his own.

  Martha Kent : We know how much you wanted to believe that there could be somebody else out there like you.

  Jonathan Kent : [seeing his face]  What is it, Clark?

  Clark Kent : Why would Cyrus pass up what he believed was his only opportunity to go home to save Kyle, the school bully?

  Jonathan Kent : Because he was a lot more like you than we ever thought.
