If you're going to take me on, son, you're going to have to bring your game up to a whole different level.

Lionel

Take the buyout now and you can keep your dignity. That's more than you left me.

Lex

Clark: Chloe!
Chloe: (sighs and rushes through her speech) Okay, I just... I have this horrible nightmare that you are going to rush to the bus station after Whitney leaves and profess your undying love for Lana, and I'm going to be waiting at the gym all alone, and if you do that to me Clark, I will never speak to you again, Okay? I said it.

Lex: I don't know. Just got a bad feeling. Kind of like when you can smell the air change before a storm.
Clark: Storms are a way of life around here, Lex. The trick is not to get caught out in the open.

Nixon: It seems you've given out gifts to the competition. Now, we had an arrangement. You give me stories, I give you information. Now, what did Carrie Castle do for you that I couldn't?
Lex: She gave me a pretty mean shiatsu massage.

Chloe leaves for a day and the Torch goes down in flames.

Clark

(to Jonathan) Lex isn't perfect, dad. I know that. But slamming the door in his face over and over only helps turn him into exactly what you think he already is.

Clark

I don't think the whole tux and limo thing is for me.

Clark

Clark: Uh, Chloe. I was... do you have plans for the Spring Formal?
Chloe: Not at the moment.
Clark: I was hoping, uh, I was hoping you'd go with me... as my date.
Chloe: I would love to, Clark. Now I'm gonna go before my good karma runs out.
Clark: Chloe. I'm sorry I didn't ask sooner.
Chloe: It's okay. It was worth the wait.

Chloe: Are you going to wish me luck?
Clark: You don't need it.

Clark: So you've had a night to sleep on it, what are you going to do with Lex's check?
Jonathan: Well, I might be stubborn, but I'm not blind.

I feel like I owe your father an apology, but I'm not exactly sure why.

Lex

Smallville Season 1 Quotes

Pete: Statistical fact: If Clark moved any slower he'd be extinct.

Jonathan: I know this has gotta be really hard for you. But you gotta just hang in there like we promised.
Clark: I'm sick of "hanging in there." All I want to do is go through high school without being a total loser.
