- Clark Kent: Lana, I always thought that if I ever did meet my mother, she wouldn't live up to the idea that I had of her. But she did.
- Lana Lang: Clark, I will never be as strong as your mother. And after everything I've done, I'm not sure I'm as good a person as you deserve.
- Clark Kent: Lana, we all make mistakes. I'm living proof of that. It's how we come back from the mistakes that's what matters.
- Lana Lang: How do you come back when you feel like you're at the point of no return?
- Clark Kent: Lana, look at everything you went through to help my mother. You're not that far gone.
- Grant Gabriel: We can't this secret forever, Lex. I'm not afraid of Lionel Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: Well, you should be. No one can know, do you understand? If he found out the truth, he could kill you.
- Grant Gabriel: I'm his son. You're my brother. How could he?
- Lex Luthor: Our dear old dad told the world that you were dead, and then secretly gave you up for adoption all because his wife was terminally ill. He's not gonna want that skeleton stepping out of the closet.
- Grant Gabriel: What he did happened a long time ago.
- Lex Luthor: In the public's eyes, there's no statute of limitations on leaving your infant out in the cold. Trust me, it's better the world knows you as Grant Gabriel.
- Grant Gabriel: My name is Julian Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: Not outside this room.
- Lara: Jor-El? Is that you?
- Clark Kent: I'm Kal-El.
- Lara: Kal-El... My son, my beautiful boy. You're a man now.
- Zor-El: You're just as stubborn as my brother. Soon you could be just as dead. If you value your life, tell Kal-El to trust his uncle. You'll be better off in the end.
- Lionel Luthor: Kal-El is following his own destiny. I will do nothing to stop his course.
- Clark Kent: This is why I need you to give me a ride. I need to get this ring off my finger and go to the Fortress.
- Chloe Sullivan: Look, Clark, my Yaris gets awesome mileage, but I seriously doubt it will get us all the way to the North Pole.
- Lana Lang: You grew up on a planet of human beings. It's okay to feel. Your emotions are part of who you are.
- Clark Kent: Yeah. They're more dangerous than kryptonite.
- Grant Gabriel: Ok everybody, time to stop talking, start reporting! You're journalists, not stargazers, let's move!
- Clark Kent: I saw what you did to Lionel. You don't want to save anyone.
- Zor-El: The weak must be sacrificed for the greater good. Something your father could never understand. He could have saved Krypton if he wasn't such a feeble-minded pacifist.
- Clark Kent: Jor-El did the best that he could.
- Zor-El: Yes. And where is he now? *What* is he now? A *voice*. I'm here, in the flesh. Ready to serve my people.
- Chloe Sullivan: Hey! Hey! Hey! I know the blue K is seriously cramping your style, but you don't have to grind your finger off!
- Clark Kent: Chloe, I don't know what else to do. It's unbreakable.
- Chloe Sullivan: Okay, look, considering what all the other flavors of kryptonite do, being normal may not be such a bad thing.
- Lara: [to Lana] You're worried I'll discover the darkness you're concealing. Don't let it overpower the goodness. You must fight it.
