- Clark Kent: What were you doing in Detroit with Kara?
- Lex Luthor: I was trying to help her.
- Clark Kent: And she ended up kidnapped. You knew she had amnesia.
- Lex Luthor: Sure, when she told me. That's when I volunteered my help.
- Clark Kent: Did it ever occur to you to pick up a phone and call me?
- Lex Luthor: I did call, twice. Lana hung up on me before I could get a word out.
- Clark Kent: Do you even know when you're lying anymore?
- Lex Luthor: You know, I've stopped pretending to care whether or not you believe me, so why don't you?
- Clark Kent: Because I do care, Lex. And there's a side of you that knows what's right.
- Lex Luthor: Wow. Now what would I do without Clark Kent, voice of reason?
- Clark Kent: That voice isn't me, Lex. It's you. There's still good inside of you. Let that voice lead you back to it.
- Lex Luthor: I didn't know it would only take a brush with death to see your softer side.
- Clark Kent: Trust me, Lex, there's nothing that's lost that can't be found again.
- Lex Luthor: [finding Clark at the mansion] It's like a reflex. I see you and start defending myself.
- Young Lex Luthor: Clark! Don't go.
- Clark Kent: I have to.
- Young Lex Luthor: But you're the only friend I've ever had.
- Clark Kent: All right, let's make a promise. Promise me that we will see each other again.
- Young Lex Luthor: I promise, Clark.
- Clark Kent: Promise me this, too - that you will never stop fighting. You're stronger than you think.
- Young Lex Luthor: How do you know?
- Clark Kent: Because you're my friend. And now I know you're here, so I will always keep an eye out for you. I'll always be here for you.
- Kara: I'm starting to see you more than some of the regulars.
- Lex Luthor: Blame it on the pie. It's by far the second best I've ever had.
- Kara: *Second* best? I'll pass that along to the kitchen. Give them some incentive.
