Smallville (TV Series)

Charade (2010)

Allison Mack: Chloe Sullivan

Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : I guess the upside to unemployment is you don't have to pick out a tie every morning. You're beating yourself up, aren't you?

  Clark Kent : Oh, which me? The Blur that Lois would die to protect or the boyfriend that Lois is protecting him from?

  Chloe Sullivan : Don't be so hard on yourself, Clark. Not everyone with a press pass is also moonlighting as the city's greatest superhero. And the whole phone-rooftop-Blur thing, at least give yourself creative points for trying to be as honest as you could with Lois.

  Clark Kent : I guess if half of me has Lois' trust, and the other half gets the rest of her, it all works out in some weird way.

• Chloe Sullivan : I finished tracing the number of our rogue Blur, to RAO Industries. It was Zod.

  Clark Kent : Everything he said about brotherhood, it was all a lie. Of course he's the one who's been using Lois.

  Chloe Sullivan : I know you wanna go and take your anger out on Zod right now, but you and I both know that there's something you have to take care of first. Until you can tell Lois that you are the one and only Blur... anyone with a voice modulator and a calling plan can pretend to be you.

  Clark Kent : I know what I have to do.

• Clark Kent : Chloe, when did you find this? Can't you get a clearer picture?

  Chloe Sullivan : Whoa, Clark. Okay, one at a time. I was following Lois just in case she found Sacks before you did, and I got the security footage from a camera 60 floors up. Now, unfortunately, zoom technology isn't exactly on par with x-ray vision.

  Clark Kent : Where was Lois taken?

  Chloe Sullivan : I don't know. I lost the car right after it went into Rombaur Tunnel.

• Chloe Sullivan : I did some digging. Right around the time that our devious D.A. walked, all his new little prison friends who were sent up the river were transferred off the grid.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, I know these guys. I put every one of them behind bars. They're all violent offenders, and the only person who can authorize their transfer is the governor.

  Chloe Sullivan : Who did you say threw Sacks' little welcome home mobster ball?

  Clark Kent : Some tycoon named Maxwell Lord.

  Chloe Sullivan : Three guesses who the largest contributor to the governor's re-election fund was.

  [pulling up the records of the governor's donations] 

  Chloe Sullivan : With that kind of influence, Lord has some serious strings he can pull.

  Clark Kent : Well, if Maxwell Lord wants the Blur, that's exactly who he'll get.

• Chloe Sullivan : I take it your search for Sacks didn't go so well.

  Clark Kent : I found Sacks, but I may have just lost Lois. Or at least her trust.

  Chloe Sullivan : Oh, no. I know that look. What happened?

  Clark Kent : I did this to myself, Chloe. I asked Lois to keep her calls with the Blur a secret. And she did. Even from me. And now someone else is calling her, pretending to be the Blur.

  Chloe Sullivan : Why? Who would wanna Blur a mile in your shoes?

  Clark Kent : I don't know. Checkmate, Zod, Tess. They've all been circling my secret. I stole her phone to see who she was calling. She's already deleted the list.

  Chloe Sullivan : You know, as much as I don't want to, I have to say it's pretty impressive how committed Lois is to protecting the Blur.

  Clark Kent : From me.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, talk about a Kafkaesque nightmare.

  Clark Kent : I almost ended it all and told her everything, 'til she reminded me why I can never put her in that kind of danger.

• Clark Kent : I need to find whoever's lying to Lois using my identity. She said she had something to tell him.

  Chloe Sullivan : And you want Watchtower to trace the call. Got it.

  Lois Lane : I would have called you on my cell, but I can't find it. Listen, someone photographed you on their phone and they're about to sell it to Ray Sacks. I don't know when you'll get this, so I'll blitz his bash at Maxwell's and try to run interference. But you need to get there as soon as you can.

• Clark Kent : Lois will find a way to see Sacks before the party tonight. Chloe, I have to find him first.

  Chloe Sullivan : Look, I get it, Clark. I'm spending a small fortune of Oliver's money to update the security system here at Watchtower. Plus I have a satellite trained on your Fortress at all times now that Zod knows your zip code. I understand the instinct to protect the ones that you love.

  Clark Kent : You know, half of being in a relationship with Lois is protecting her from herself.

  Chloe Sullivan : Actually, she's not the only one Sacks is gunning for right now. According to the Internet, he's offering a million-dollar reward for anyone who can supply him with an image of the Blur.

  Clark Kent : Again, what's this guy and his obsession with the Blur?

  Chloe Sullivan : Maybe it has something to do with the fact you publicly disgraced him and threw him in prison. Since he's been out, I have a hard time tracking him down.

  Clark Kent : Well, Sacks is all about the VIP treatment. Maybe he's got a favorite bar or restaurant.

  Chloe Sullivan : Someplace that he would wanna go after being locked down for eight months.

  [searching] 

  Chloe Sullivan : Huh. Our paroled prosecutor does have a favorite haunt, but it isn't exactly five-star.

• Tess Mercer : Oliver gave you keys to his office. He must trust you with just about all of his secrets.

  Chloe Sullivan : Tess. I thought you were supposed to be underground? You know, if you're having a hard time finding your way there, I'm sure I could help.

  Tess Mercer : So we're over the temporary truce and straight back to fire at will. Okay. Just remember, Chloe, that out there, I might be MIA, but in here, I'm still CEO.

• Tess Mercer : Where is Oliver?

  Chloe Sullivan : Out of town.

  Tess Mercer : I was curious how you two got into each other's orbit.

  Chloe Sullivan : Mutual friends. Which I understand you could use some help finding. Consindering the fact that you have to go to outer space to look for them.

  Tess Mercer : The Kandorians? You'll see, Chloe, they're better as allies than enemies. Clark gets that. Why don't you and Oliver?

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark optimistically thinks that Zod will be happy wearing an apron and slinging coffees. We don't. Especially now that he has powers.

  Tess Mercer : We? As in you and Green Arrow? Chloe, I get what you see in your heroes, but what do they see in you?

  Chloe Sullivan : I could ask Zod the same question about you. But I guess I don't have to anymore. I've been watching you two, and it seems like Zod hasn't been home for dinner for quite a while. Be careful, Ms. Mercer. At this rate, you're gonna run out of people to betray.

• Lois Lane : Can you believe it? I'm early.

  Chloe Sullivan : Uh, no. Lois, early is when you arrive at your destination by a set time. Not when you can see it from seven blocks away.

  Lois Lane : Uh-uh. Nobody's raining on this girl's parade today. Clark's taking me up to the roof tonight to do a little stargazing.

  Chloe Sullivan : Okay. That explains the 911 to the Craigslist queen.

  Lois Lane : [taking a wooden box]  Long live the queen. I can't believe you got one so fast.

  [opening it to reveal an extending telescope] 

  Lois Lane : I kinda noticed that Clark has this thing for telescopes. Do you think he'll like it?

  Chloe Sullivan : I think he'll love it.

• Chloe Sullivan : What is it exactly about a telescope that merits 76 trombones and a big parade?

  Lois Lane : Well... tonight's the night. In the words of the general... it's time to drop the L bomb.

  Chloe Sullivan : What? You mean to tell me that you guys haven't volleyed *the* word yet?

  Lois Lane : Among other significant relationship milestones. I don't know. Things used to be easier with Clark. Back in the days when you'd wake up and the first thing you'd do is check for a text or an e-mail and it'd be there waiting for you. Anyway, things have been different ever since we decided we could keep secrets from each other. But that's all changing tonight.

  Chloe Sullivan : Wait a minute. Secrets? Uh, changing? How?

  Lois Lane : No more secrets. It's time to take our baggage out of the closet. I mean, if we L each other, then... nothing should come between us, right?

• Chloe Sullivan : Hey, do you ever check your voicemail?

  Clark Kent : Looks like somebody missed breakfast in bed with Oliver this morning.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm not here to talk about my love life.

  Clark Kent : That makes two of us.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm here to talk about yours.

  Clark Kent : Whoa. Can't we just stick to a topic like aliens assimilating to Earth?

  Chloe Sullivan : This isn't about assimilating, Clark. Zod has powers now. And you told him all of your secrets. This is not a good time to bring Lois in, too.

  Clark Kent : Lois?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. She told me about your big date tonight where you both are gonna come clean with everything.

• Clark Kent : I'm not gonna tell Lois anything. I'm making Lois dinner tonight so she shares her secret. She's been keeping something from me. I didn't wanna use my abilities to spy on her. It's been driving me crazy.

  Chloe Sullivan : So you're gonna seduce it out of her? Clark, you're the reason all of this is happening to begin with.

  Clark Kent : I have not called her as the Blur in months.

  Chloe Sullivan : That doesn't matter, Clark. The second that your back in black alter ego asked Lois to lie about the Blur was the day that you asked her to lie to the person that she loves, which is you. And she did.

  Clark Kent : A relationship with secrets can never work. Look at you and Oliver. Everything's out in the open.

  Chloe Sullivan : That is because we both understand that our relationship comes second to a higher calling. Clark, you and Lois...

  Clark Kent : Don't have to be any different. Now, if Lois was gonna trust me tonight, maybe it's time I trusted her.
