Lex

Lana: And then he had the nerve to say "It's nothing personal, only business."
Clark: Why does everyone over 40 have to quote The Godfather?

Chloe: "Clark Kent, Man of Tomorrow". Kind of presumptuous, don't you think?
Clark: I like it.

Clark: You see all that in me?
Lana: Yes I do.

Chloe: What do you stand for?

Pete: I know my strengths. I'm more the power behind the throne, the guy behind the guy, the one who makes it all happen.
Chloe: Pete Ross: The Kingmaker.
