Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : How comes he gets to go flying with Dad, and I have to go to school?

  Lois Lane : At least we have the radio.

• Clark Kent : Look, the fact that I'm Superman means that I've been gone a lot in your lives. Now, I always told myself that you'd both be fine and that it wouldn't affect you, but I was wrong. I know it has. Now, I can't just abandon the world, but I can't abandon you two, either. It's gonna take me some time to figure out how to be better at both, but I will, okay?

  Jonathan Kent : Okay.

  Jordan Kent : [Clark slides an ELT like Lois' to him]  I thought you said this wouldn't fix my problem.

  Clark Kent : It won't, but keeping you home won't, either.

  Jordan Kent : So I can go to school?

  Clark Kent : We have to keep an eye on your powers, Jordan, but... yes, you can go. All right, let's get dressed. We gotta go.

  Jonathan Kent : Wait, where's mom?

  Clark Kent : Oh, she, uh... she had a thing.

• Jordan Kent : So, how was today without me?

  Jonathan Kent : Uh, you know, it was... it was a lot better, actually. I think we should have done this a long time ago.

  Jordan Kent : Shut up.

• Jordan Kent : You were right before. We moved here for me, and I never even thanked you.

  Jonathan Kent : You don't have to thank me.

  Jordan Kent : Yes, I do. Our whole lives, you've been there for me, and the least I could do is be there for you.

  Jonathan Kent : Did you ever find out if you're half-Kryptonian or what?

  Jordan Kent : Not according to Hologramps. He said I'll never be like dad.

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, look, I know what happened in the barn. Some poles fell on us, and you saved our lives. So honestly, I-I really... I don't care what some stupid hologram said. You're my twin brother. I know you better than anyone. You're different now, okay? Something happened to you, definitely something special, and if no one else is gonna help you figure out what that is... I will.

• Jordan Kent : I only got two of the AP classes I wanted, and they put me in Spanish instead of French.

  Jonathan Kent : I haven't even looked at my schedule yet.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, I'm sure it's just as crappy as mine.

  Lois Lane : We actually wanted to talk to you about school, anyway.

  Clark Kent : We have some concerns with you going right now.

  Jordan Kent : Isn't that why we moved here?

  Lois Lane : No, we came here so that your father and I would be around more and we'd have more time to spend together as a family.

  Clark Kent : And to live in a safer place for me to teach you about your powers and the reason you have them.

  Jordan Kent : Well, what do I need to learn? I'm a little stronger. So what?

  Clark Kent : You're a lot stronger, and you've had an ocular release of energy.

  Jordan Kent : A what?

  Jonathan Kent : Is that seriously what it's called?

  Lois Lane : It doesn't matter what it's called. He almost hurt a bunch of kids.

  Jordan Kent : It was an accident. I don't even know how it happened.

  Lois Lane : That's exactly our point.

  Jordan Kent : So I'm just not gonna go to school?

  Clark Kent : Until we know how to keep it from happening again, yes.

  Jordan Kent : Why can't I just have one of those beeper things mom has in case something goes wrong?

  Clark Kent : An ELT is not the solution, Jordan.

  Jordan Kent : [getting up and leaving]  You know what? I thought coming here would be a chance to start over, but I guess I'm just gonna be a freak like always.

  Jonathan Kent : [sarcastic]  It feels like home already.

• Sarah Cushing : Heard you had another tough one today.

  Jonathan Kent : Wow, you hear about everything, huh?

  Sarah Cushing : Sean was over earlier, and he told me.

  Jonathan Kent : If you don't mind me asking, what... what is it exactly that you see in that guy?

  Sarah Cushing : He can really sweet.

  Jonathan Kent : [sardonically]  Yeah, real sweet guy, especially on the football field.

• Lois Lane : The playbook never arrived?

  Jonathan Kent : It should have been here when we moved in. I don't know how I'm supposed to know the plays.

• Jordan Kent : Dad's taking me to the Fortress today, gonna run some tests, see what powers I have or will have or whatever. Can you imagine if I can fly?

  Jonathan Kent : No, not really.

  Jordan Kent : What Sarah said about the playbook, what happened?

  Jonathan Kent : I mean, I didn't get it, and now I have it, so it's cool.

  Jordan Kent : All right.

  Clark Kent : Ready?

  Jordan Kent : Yeah.

  Clark Kent : See you guys later.

  Jonathan Kent : Have fun being Superman and Superboy or whatever.

• Lois Lane : What's wrong?

  Jonathan Kent : Nothing, mom. I just need to... I just need to learn this playbook.

  Lois Lane : Jonathan... you're a really great brother, you know that? I know how much you gave up by saying yes to coming here. Your whole life's in Metropolis. Your girlfriend's there. Your entire identity is there, but you said yes to coming here anyway 'cause you wanted to help your brother.

  Jonathan Kent : You and I both had lives we left behind.

• Sean Smith : Heard you Kent boys were moving here.

  Sarah Cushing : [trying to stop a fight before it starts]  Come on, this is not...

  Sean Smith : You're supposed to be, what? Some kind of star quarterback?

  Jonathan Kent : I'm all right.

  Tag Harris : Too bad. We already got a QB.

  Sarah Cushing : How mature.

  Timmy Ryan : And we'll see how you do with our offense. Some people think it's tough to learn, especially if you somehow never got the playbook.

  Sean Smith : [pushing past]  Tell your brother I said hi.

• Jonathan Kent : [seeing Clark and Jordan return home]  Where were you guys all day?

  Clark Kent : Go tell him.

• Lois Lane : What happened at the Fortress?

  Jordan Kent : I guess we found out what I always knew. I'm not special.

  Clark Kent : Jordan, it is a process. We will go back, we will test you again, and we'll see how you progress over time.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah.

  Clark Kent : Maybe he should just stay home.

  Jonathan Kent : What? Why? Baby have another bad day?

  Jordan Kent : Screw you.

  Jonathan Kent : No!

  Clark Kent : Boys...

  Jonathan Kent : No, I am sick of your crap, okay, Jordan? This is not just about you! I got the shaft.

  Clark Kent : Whoa, whoa, whoa. What does that mean?

  Jonathan Kent : It means that Don Draper over here kissed Sarah at the bonfire party, so now her dick boyfriend and the entire team are out to get me!

  Jordan Kent : That's why you didn't get the playbook?

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah, genius. I guess super-perception isn't one of your powers.

  Clark Kent : Okay, okay, you know what, Jonathan? You and I, we can go out front. We can run plays.

  Lois Lane : No, babe, not right now. Listen, sweetie, I am sorry about the playbook. That really sucks. And I'm sorry going to the Fortress didn't meet your expectations. You're probably so disappointed, but now's not the time to wallow in everything that's gone wrong since we came here. We moved here to be closer as a family, and we got invited to this dinner as a family, and we are going as a family, so get dressed.

  Clark Kent : You heard your mother.
