Sam Jones III: Pete Ross

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?

• Pete Ross : I can't believe Cyrus knows your secret.

  Clark Kent : What was I supposed to do, Pete? Beat up all those guys? Grab Cyrus and run away at a thousand miles per hour? I didn't have much of a choice.

  Pete Ross : Well, have you told your parents yet?

  Clark Kent : No. They'd just freak out.

  Pete Ross : And they'd have a right to. I mean, how long until Cyrus tells somebody? It's not like he's exactly stable.

  Clark Kent : [glancing at a map of outer space]  No, he's not gonna tell anyone.

  Pete Ross : Clark, how do you know that?

  Clark Kent : Look at this. The coordinates that Cyrus gave me are for the same solar system as Krypton.

• Pete Ross : Clark, dozens of astronomers have written about the meteor showers. He could have just used their research.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, but first the drawings of the ship and now this? It's too much of a coincidence. Maybe my parents weren't the only ones to save their child.

  Pete Ross : Well, if you really wanna know, I could go up to him with a piece of meteor rock.

  Clark Kent : No, it's called kryptonite.

  Pete Ross : Kryptonite. Is that with a C or a K?

  Lana Lang : [approaching]  Clark, are you up there?

  Clark Kent : K.

• 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.
