Clark: How're you feeling?
Zod: Like a changed man. When your enemy becomes your savior, your paradigm shifts.

Zod: You want to become one of us. You want to live by our ways, and yet, you reject them. Kal-El, when you came to us with your powers, I thought... I thought it represented hope for all of us. But because you were too weak to do it, I had to kill one of my own soldiers... to get justice for you.
Clark: This isn't my kind of justice.
Zod: In the coming days, you will see there is only one kind of justice. And then you have to decide if you really are one of us.

Lois: Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm just afraid that my big mouth is going to wreck our relationship one days.
Clark: Don't worry, Lois. It's not going to be that easy to get rid of me.

Tess: I had no idea that your powers disappeared.
Clark: Don't worry, Tess. I'll save your world. Just not with you in it.

Clark: My father was murdered, and I'm here to collect.
Tess: Collect on what?
Clark: Justice, or vengeance. It just depends whose side you're on.

Clark: I need to figure out a way to reverse this. I think I breathed in some sort of new meteor rock.
Emil: Dude, hasn't anyone ever told you not to inhale?

Clark: Thanks, Chloe. You're a life-saver.
Chloe: If by that you mean sweet on the outside and empty in the middle, that's pretty much exactly how I feel right now.

Alec: So, uh, why do you do t?
Clark: I do it because I want to help people... like you. Not because I have to but because I choose to.
Alec: What do I do now.
Clark: You... should go home and be a kid, and remember the next time you run into a bully that there is some goodness in there.
Alec: 'Cause everyone's worth saving.
Clark: And a hero's work is never done

Lois: I'm cashing in a rain check. You cannot renege on a rain check.
Clark: Lois, can I rain check on your rain check?
Lois: No. You have been cashing in on so many rain checks recently that I am soaking wet with disappointment.

Clark: It's okay, Lois. He's just a truck.
Lois: Oh, Clark, come on. That's like saying Tommy Lee's just a drummer. Sometimes I worry there is no poetry in you.
Clark: You just have to look deeper.

Zod: The apple is such a plain yet fascinating fruit.
Clark: What are you doing here?
Zod: You know, it was the apple that launched the Trojan War, one of the great epic battles of all time. And, in many religions here, it's the apple's fall from the Tree of Knowledge that represents the fall of Man. Now, I found that story quite interesting because it so aptly illustrates how humans hoard knowledge. Whereas our own Kryptonian religion... now, that teaches knowledge should be shared... by all.
Clark: I'm sure you didn't come here for a Sunday school lesson. What do you want?

Lois: Well, it is a lot to wrap your head around--Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Who knew?
Clark: I did.

Smallville Quotes

Clark: Isn't it time we moved beyond these mental trials?
Jor-El: Your determination is strong, Son, but just as your passion will be your greatest strength, so, too, will it be your greatest obstacle.

Chloe: Dr. Hamilton.
Dr. Hamilton: If you would be so kind as to lower the 9mm Jericho 941. I prefer "Emil."
