Quotes 

• John Corben : What's the matter, Blur? A little meteor rock got you down? Who knew the mighty Goliath could be taken down with a simple stone?

• Clark Kent : I don't want to hurt you, John.

  John Corben : You already have. My sister's dead because of you. A prison bus crashed. All the men inside would have died, but you saved them all. And in the confusion, a cold-blooded killer escaped.

  Clark Kent : And murdered your sister?

  John Corben : What gives you the right to interfere with our lives and to change our fates?

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry about your loss, John. What happened to your sister was tragic. You need to control yourself. The meteor rock is causing an adrenaline rush. You're not thinking straight.

  John Corben : Control *myself*? That's easy for *you* to say. It doesn't take much to stay in control when you watch from the shadows. You stand apart from the world while the rest of us live in it. Even when it breaks your heart.

• John Corben : Where are the records?

  Lois Lane : Little less snap and a little more patter, please. Okay. It's a new system. They haven't transferred it all over yet. There's a hard copy of everything in the archive room. What are you looking for?

  John Corben : The Blur. He didn't come out of nowhere, Lois. There must be some kind of origin story.

• John Corben : Since you didn't wanna grab dinner tonight, I spent the time searching out news. And you'll never guess what I found.

  Lois Lane : If I do, would you take me off your speed dial?

• John Corben : Your favorite freak's been at it again, and this time, the story's mine.

  Lois Lane : Take it, sticky fingers. There are plenty of headlines to go around.

• Lois Lane : You know, the Blur catches more bad guys before breakfast than most cops do in a day.

  John Corben : Hell, that's not the problem. He's not a cop. He's a vigilante, with superpowers and a thing for the letter "S".

  Lois Lane : Well, then he's done a super job cleaning up Metropolis. Thanks to him, the city can sleep at night.

• John Corben : Why do the electronic records in this place only go back a year?

  Lois Lane : Hello. Lois. Banter, banter, banter. What happened? Did your snappy patter set with the sun?

• John Corben : Lois, I heard you talking to him. So just tell me who the Blur is... and I'll let you go. I promise I'll let you go.

  Lois Lane : I already told you, I don't know.

  [seeing the glow of his kryptonite heart] 

  Lois Lane : Since when did you become a living Lite-Brite? What happened to you, John? Huh?

  John Corben : I'll show you.

  Lois Lane : [he takes his shirt off, revealing his biomechanics]  Okay, take it easy there, Chippendale. I... I think I want the shirt back on.
