Jer Adrianne Lelliott: Cyrus Krupp

Quotes 

• Kyle : [stealing Cyrus' headphones]  Check it out, man. Loser's listening to a dial tone.

  Cyrus Krupp : You don't have the mental capacity to comprehend that sound.

  Kyle : You calling me stupid?

  Cyrus Krupp : Let's just say you're not one of mankind's brightest lights.

• Clark Kent : I heard about the rumor from your old school.

  Cyrus Krupp : That I'm an alien. You've come to see if it's true.

  Clark Kent : I have an open mind.

  Cyrus Krupp : If I showed you any of my other special powers, would that appease you? Go away, Clark.

  [Clark stops him from closing the door] 

  Cyrus Krupp : You're just like all the others. I won't be ridiculed by your kind anymore.

  Clark Kent : I'm not here to make fun of you. Or to get you in trouble.

  Cyrus Krupp : Then what do you want?

  Clark Kent : The truth. I promise I won't tell anyone.

• Clark Kent : I know you faked the fire, Cyrus.

  Cyrus Krupp : I don't deny it. Kyle and his intelligence-challenged comrades have been harassing me since I got here.

  Clark Kent : Why didn't you use your powers?

  Cyrus Krupp : I only have the power to heal, not to harm.

  Clark Kent : So you still claim that you cured that horse?

  Cyrus Krupp : Believe whatever you want.

• Clark Kent : Did you draw these?

  Cyrus Krupp : That's how I got to Earth.

  Clark Kent : Where's the spaceship?

  Cyrus Krupp : I don't know.

  Clark Kent : But you remember coming here.

  Cyrus Krupp : Remember those dreams I told you about? I dream about my parents, too. And what it'll be like the day I go home.

  Clark Kent : I believe you, Cyrus.

  Cyrus Krupp : You do?

  [Clark nods] 

  Cyrus Krupp : That makes you the first person who doesn't think I'm crazy.

• Clark Kent : Wow, you built this? What is it?

  Cyrus Krupp : My transmission tower.

  Clark Kent : How does it work?

  Cyrus Krupp : At the appointed time, I'll send a signal and my parents will come. They'll transport me up to their ship, and then they'll take me home.

  Clark Kent : You know, I can see how this would be a little difficult to explain to a group of psychiatrists.

  Cyrus Krupp : I wish that were my only problem. I'm supposed to send a signal at midnight tomorrow, but I don't have my transmitter. After the incident in the electronics lab, Reynolds confiscated it.

  Clark Kent : Can't you build another one?

  Cyrus Krupp : There isn't time. The conditions necessary for my departure only occur once every 200 years. If I don't get that transmitter back... I'll never get home. Please. Help me.

• Clark Kent : [after frightening off Kyle and his friends with his heat vision]  Way to go, Cyrus. You did it.

  Cyrus Krupp : No, I didn't, Clark. You did.

  Clark Kent : That's crazy.

  Cyrus Krupp : Now I know why you've been helping me, why you believe me.

  Clark Kent : Cyrus, I don't know what you're talking about.

  Cyrus Krupp : You're an alien, too.

• Cyrus Krupp : I don't want to be locked up again. You don't know what it's like. The doctors. The tests.

  Clark Kent : What can I do?

  Cyrus Krupp : If I'm not on that tower at midnight... I'm gonna be stranded on this world forever.

  Clark Kent : [breaking his restraints]  You gotta get out of here.

  Cyrus Krupp : [collecting his belongings]  Clark. Come with me.

  Clark Kent : What are you talking about?

  Cyrus Krupp : You're not meant for this Earth any more than I am. I'll take you back to your real home.

  Clark Kent : This is my real home. Everything I care about is on Earth. Good luck, Cyrus.

  Cyrus Krupp : You give me hope for this world, Clark. I wish there were more people like you here.

  [turning to leave] 

  Cyrus Krupp : I'll send you a postcard.
