Ryan: (after being kissed by Lana) I don't know, but I'm definitely in love.
Clark: Join the club.
Clark: Warrior Angel, why him?
Ryan: Because he protects people who can't protect themselves. I like being around you Clark. It's...peaceful.
(to Lionel) I know why you want me back. I'm driving you crazy, aren't I? I'm not clubbing till 6 A.M., not getting arrested. I'm on track. That's what scares you. You want me back where you can keep an eye on me.
Lex
You don't understand what it's like to be different. What it's like to have to hide so people don't think you're a freak. Everywhere I go, I hear people's thoughts. I can't block it out anymore.
Ryan
Lex: You know what those emperors you're always talking about were really afraid of? That their sons would become successful and return to Rome at the head of their own army.
Lionel: You think you can find your future in Smallville? I'm your future. Join me, Lex. Join me in Metropolis. How long have you been waiting to hear me to say those words?
Lex: I've waited to hear other things from you for a lot longer. I'll return to Metropolis when I'm ready.
Lionel: At the head of an army?
Clark: You have sources?
Chloe: Yeah. A cute officer in traffic. I talked my way out of a speeding ticket. He told me I was plucky. Maybe I'll ask him to prom.
If anyone can choose who they want to be, Lex, it's you.
Clark
