Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : Clark Kent is a football player and Lana Lang is a waitress.

  Pete Ross : What's wrong with that?

  Chloe Sullivan : Nothing. I just wanna click my heels and get back to reality.

• Chloe Sullivan : I've already started getting hate mail.

  Clark Kent : You seem very happy about that, why?

  Chloe Sullivan : Because it means I'm hitting a nerve. Besides, between the abysmal sentence structure and generous use of obscenities, I got a pretty good idea of who's been sending it.

  Pete Ross : If you think my teammates have been reading the Torch, you're giving them way too much credit.

• Coach Walt Arnold : Look at Ross here. He doesn't have a lick of natural talent, but he's got a truckload of heart.

  Pete Ross : Thanks... I guess.

• Clark Kent : Any idea how they got that midterm, Chloe?

  Chloe Sullivan : Still a mystery, but I'm working on it.

  Football Player : [noticing her taking pictures]  Hey, what's she doing?

  [he throws his football at her, but Clark manages to catch it just in time] 

  Pete Ross : Ooh, nice catch.

  Chloe Sullivan : One of your teammates attempts to assassinate me and all you can say is "nice catch"?

  Pete Ross : I thought you wanted to hit a nerve.

• Clark Kent : [reading the Torch]  "Football: Sport or abuse?"

  Chloe Sullivan : So, what do you think?

  Clark Kent : I think you need to seriously decrease your cappuccino dependency.

  Chloe Sullivan : Pete thinks I'm being too hard on Coach Walt.

  Pete Ross : I mean, the man coached my dad, all my brothers. He used to come over and watch the Super Bowl.

  Chloe Sullivan : Now, while I'm touched by that hallmark moment, you don't get points for subtlety in journalism.

• Pete Ross : [after Coach Walt browbeats Clark into joining the football team]  Remind me what your dad said last time you asked him to play.

  Clark Kent : He said no.

  Pete Ross : He said no. That's what I thought. Call me when the hurting's done, okay?

• Chloe Sullivan : [seeing a group of football players leaving]  What's up with your fallen brethren?

  Pete Ross : I don't know.

  Chloe Sullivan : [getting up to follow them]  I'll see you tomorrow.
