Quotes 

• Lois Lane : I'm glad you made the team, Clark, but why be a conformist? At least with the whole farm boy plaid thing, as lame as it is, it completely belongs to you.

  Clark Kent : In the future, let's restrict our conversations to "hello" and "goodbye."

• Lois Lane : Don't worry. I'll visit.

  Clark Kent : Is that a promise or a threat?

• [Clark is making out with Mandy so Lois can steal her purse] 

  Mandy : You're so strong.

  Clark Kent : [hesitates]  You're so beautiful.

  Lois Lane : [whispers]  I'm so grossed out.

• Lex Luthor : When they told me Clark Kent was downstairs, I couldn't believe it. I wanted you to see for yourself that the investigation is over.

  Clark Kent : What's that?

  Lex Luthor : The Porsche you pulled me out of the day we met.

  Clark Kent : Why is it still here?

  Lex Luthor : To remind me of what I almost lost. It's over, Clark. It really is. Look, I'm willing to give this friendship another shot if you are.

• Clark Kent : Chloe, you okay?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. Fine.

  Mandy : I can't believe you, Clark.

  Lois Lane : Oh, please. Do you know how pathetic it is that you had to resort to chemicals to control your boyfriend?

  Mandy : I'm sick of being a distant second to a football.

  Lois Lane : So you create a bunch of psycho nutjobs?

  [to Chloe] 

  Lois Lane : No offense.

  Chloe Sullivan : None taken.

  Clark Kent : What, uh... what took you so long?

  Chloe Sullivan : [covering]  Oh, she was attacked by a, um... crazy... plumber.

  Lois Lane : Yeah.

• Clark Kent : Look, the cheerleaders are spiking the water cooler at practice. That's why Chloe and the players are acting so weird.

  Lois Lane : Nice work, Smallville. You want to know what they're using?

  Clark Kent : You actually did some investigative reporting?

  Lois Lane : My cousin goes Martha Stewart without the jail time? Yeah, suddenly the power of the press interests me.

• Jonathan Kent : So, Clark, tell me: how's football practice going?

  Clark Kent : It's actually not going so good. Some of the guys have been giving me a hard time since they found out I was starting. Missing my passes...

  Jonathan Kent : Nobody said it was gonna be easy.

  Clark Kent : The frustrating part is I could score every time.

  Jonathan Kent : Clark... we talked about that whole thing, remember? The football field is not a place for you to be using your powers to save the day.

  Clark Kent : I just said it was frustrating.

  Jonathan Kent : Look, son, if you're gonna be the quarterback, then you have to be the leader. Of course a bunch of the guys are gonna wanna challenge that. Especially if they don't think you deserve it. Same thing happened to me.

  Clark Kent : I thought your team worshiped the ground you walked on.

  Jonathan Kent : Well... not when I was a sophomore, they didn't. See, the coach made me starting quarterback; bunch of the seniors didn't like that very much.

  Clark Kent : What'd you do?

  Jonathan Kent : I earned their respect.

• Clark Kent : Mom, can I talk to you for a second?

  Martha Kent : Of course, honey. What's up?

  Clark Kent : It's about Chloe. Um... she came onto me last night, pretty strong. I'm worried about her. Don't worry, nothing happened.

  Martha Kent : I thought you two agreed to be friends.

  Clark Kent : We did. And then she pulled a 180 on me.

  Martha Kent : Maybe... Chloe's decided life's too short to bury her feelings anymore. How do you feel about her?

  Clark Kent : The problem is I'm not over Lana yet. Sometimes I think I never will be.

  Martha Kent : Oh, sweetheart. There's somebody out there for you. I know it.

  Clark Kent : So what do I do about Chloe?

  Martha Kent : If you don't feel the same way, just be honest.

• Chloe Sullivan : Since I'm not very good at ignoring five hundred pound elephants, I... I'm really sorry that I made things so ridiculously awkward between us.

  Clark Kent : You know, I thought you made a great cheerleader.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, let's... let's never talk about that again, okay? Look, Clark, as much as I'd like to blame the pom pom juice for this, I obviously still have those feelings in me somewhere.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, I wish I felt the same way, but I don't. At least not right now.

  Chloe Sullivan : Right. I know that. And I accept it. I just hope that we can keep our friendship, except now you're gonna be, like, big man on campus.

  Clark Kent : Well, I'm hoping my new editor will keep me in line. I'm gonna make time for the Torch.
