Allison Mack: Chloe Sullivan

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Chloe Sullivan : Hello, gentlemen.

  Pete Ross : Hello, Chloe.

  Chloe Sullivan : What are you doing to those poor citrus?

  Clark Kent : Apparently, there's enough acid in them to act as a battery.

  Chloe Sullivan : How very Survivor of you. What are you gonna call it, a Clockwork Orange?

  Pete Ross : Don't you wish you were the first one to say that?

• Chloe Sullivan : Hey, Kent. I know your secret. Lana told me you're letting her board Whitney's horse here.

  Clark Kent : Oh, yeah, that. Right.

  Chloe Sullivan : You made her year, you know.

  Clark Kent : Well, Tyson's really important to her. She didn't want another part of her past just taken away.

  Chloe Sullivan : Mm-hmm. And she'll be here every day, just like old times.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, there's nothing romantic about mucking out horse stalls.

• Clark Kent : Hey, I see the electronics lab is still closed.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, the fire marshals are investigating Cyrus' pyrotechnics. Did you know that Principal Reynolds suspended him, and he confiscated his science project?

  Clark Kent : Do you have any idea how he did it?

  Chloe Sullivan : Could have been a trick. Or it could be meteor-rock inspired. Or he could be an alien.

  Clark Kent : Alien? Why would you say that?

  Chloe Sullivan : Rumors from his old school. He went to junior high in Grandville, and he told some kids that he was extraterrestrial. Needless to say, they sent him to a distant corner in the social galaxy.

  Clark Kent : He didn't do anything... super, did he?

  Chloe Sullivan : Like start fire with his eyes? Mm-mm. But he did make it a habit of running away. The last time, the cops found him in the middle of a field, butt-naked. Cyrus was pointing to the sky saying "They're coming to take me home." That incident landed him in the mental institution.

  Clark Kent : You don't think he's really an alien, do you?

  Chloe Sullivan : No. But wouldn't it be awesome if he was, though?

  Clark Kent : Yeah, it'd be the story of the century, wouldn't it?

  Chloe Sullivan : This isn't about Pulitzers, Clark. I mean, can you imagine being from another planet? The experiences you could share?

  Clark Kent : It wouldn't freak you out?

  Chloe Sullivan : Oh, compared to most people, I think aliens would be a step up.

• Chloe Sullivan : Magic.

  Clark Kent : What?

  Chloe Sullivan : That was how Cyrus started the fire. The fire marshals found strips of magnesium powder hidden behind the blackboard. All Cyrus had to do was wait for the right moment, hit the detonator... and before you can say "presto"...

  [she demonstrates with a magnesium strip on the desk] 

  Chloe Sullivan : ...instant inferno.

  Clark Kent : I didn't see him use a detonator.

  Chloe Sullivan : Ah, but illusion is the art of misdirection, Clark. Trust me, this kid is more David Blaine than he is Wall of Weird.

  Clark Kent : All right, well, that still doesn't explain how he cured Tyson.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, I haven't figured that one out yet. But I'd be willing to bet that he faked that one, too, somehow.

  Clark Kent : No, I was there. It was real.

  Chloe Sullivan : Okay, well, I'm not discounting the possibility that he may have some magic healing power. But if he does, it's probably a byproduct of meteorite poisoning. He is no more extraterrestrial than you are.

• Chloe Sullivan : Hey, Clark, Cyrus escaped from the medical center. The Child Protective Services and the sheriff are searching for him everywhere. Take a look at this.

  Clark Kent : [she hands him a missing persons flyer]  Who are these people?

  Chloe Sullivan : John and Maggie Burnet, and their son William. They disappeared the day of the meteor shower. Rescue workers suspected that they were vaporized when their farmhouse was hit. But no remains were ever found.

  Pete Ross : If their son survived, he'd be too young to remember what happened.

  Chloe Sullivan : The older couple that adopted Cyrus lived half a mile away from the Burnet house.

  Clark Kent : What are you saying?

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark, what we're saying is Cyrus is not an alien. He's an orphan.
