Smallville Quote
Clark: Am I dead?
Jor-El [in Lionel]: Your mortal journey is over, yes, but your eminent destiny is too important to sacrifice. You will return with all your natural gifts. Unfortunately, this rectification does not come without a price. The life of someone close to you will be exchanged for yours.
Clark: No. No, I would never ask for that.
Jor-El [in Lionel]: You already did. When you decided to relinquish your powers and disobey me. It was your choice.
Clark: Then just don't bring me back!
Jor-El [in Lionel]: It's too late. For everything in nature, there is a balance. The life force that has been returned to you will soon be taken from... from someone you love. You're about to face your darkest hour, my son. But, remember: The lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us the strongest.
