TV Show: Smallville
Oliver: Apparently, you were too busy using your powers to bale hay than to realize there's a crime wave in Metropolis. Let me ask you a question. Are you ever gonna get off your ass and finally do something for a change?
Clark: I didn't come here to be insulted.
Oliver: Well you know what? There's the door. I don't remember you being invited.
Clark: Oliver, what's going on with you?

Clark: That's not for us to decide.

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: What made you come to your senses?
Oliver: Actually, you did. This whole time, I just wanted to be like Clark Kent, you know? I wanted to... I wanted to have the ability to bring justice to the world without having to worry about getting killed in the process. And then something occurred to me, and I realized that Clark Kent would never take another man's life. I came within an inch of doing just that. I'm not even in your league.
Clark: Oliver, you do a lot of good in this world. You don't need to be indestructible to be a hero.

TV Show: Smallville
Chloe: [to Clark] Look, I understand that you feel like all these psychopathic space invaders are your fault, but you can't keep it all inside. You feel the need to carry the world on your shoulders, and that's noble. But there are other people out there who want to help you fight the good fight, and you need to let them in. Because sometimes even heroes need to be saved.

TV Show: Smallville
Lex: I thought I told you you're no longer a welcome guest at the mansion.
Clark: Trust me, Lex, I don't want to be here either. But after what you've done...
Lex: And exactly what did I do? Did I swat a fly with too much force?

TV Show: Smallville
Chloe: Come on, Clark, you put a psycho killer away and you reunited a mother with her son. I mean, there are only so many hours in the day.
Clark: Well, see, that's the thing. No matter how many people I save, I can't solve the world's problems.
Chloe: I don't know anyone else who does more for this world than you.

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: You realize the only reason Lex is doing this is to wash his hands of it.
Lana: Lex had no idea what was going on on that farm.
Clark: Lana, you don't believe that.
Lana: Unlike some people I know, Lex doesn't lie to me.
Clark: Or he just wants his name clear of murder and slavery, so he sends a messenger to do his cleanup work.

Lois: I don't get it. Of all the photographers in Metropolis, how is it that you end up with the first shots of our merry archer?
Jimmy: My connections.
Lois: No. Really.
Jimmy: Uh, well, the guy doesn't get out of the Suicide Slums much, so I just hung out there for a few weeks... in my car with my pepper spray and the doors locked.
Lois: This is it? A bunch of arms and legs? Nice work, hotshot. I mean, you didn't even manage to catch one shot of his face. All these tell me about Green Arrow is that he needs a band-aid.

TV Show: Smallville
Jimmy: Preliminary investigation is calling it suicide, but how's a guy who's larger than life drown in two feet of water?

Jimmy: Chloe, come on, you're going to tell me that someone on a 'roid rage is going to lie down in a koi pond and call it a day?

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: People keep secrets for a reason.
Lois: I don't know. If you ask me, I think a secret is just a big loophole in the whole "thou shall not lie" clause.
Clark: There's just no gray area with you, is there?
Lois: Not when someone I thought I knew better than anyone has been keeping the biggest secret of all.
Clark: What are you talking about?
Lois: What would you do if one day you realized someone close to you had a serious hero complex?
Clark: Hero complex?
Lois: Hiding his true identity from everyone he supposedly cares about? You can't tell me you wouldn't find something wrong with that.
Clark: Who exactly are we talking about?

TV Show: Smallville
Chloe: Clark, before you unload your anger on me, can I just say that I think it is incredibly unfair that everyone trusts me to keep their secrets, and then they turn around and they throw me attitude for keeping someone else's secret! Look, I'm sorry that I had to take a two-second breather from hiding the fact that you are an alien from another planet to protect someone else for a change! God! [Clark hugs her] You had that coming, you know?
Clark: For the record... I prefer "intergalactic traveler" over "alien from another planet."

TV Show: Smallville
Chloe: The craziest part is he chucked a guy across an alley, right? [Lois: Oh yeah] And then supersped away. I mean, WHO does that?
Clark: Hmm. [pause] It's a good thing when Oliver showed up when he did. Then you know for sure.
Chloe: Oh, she knew before he showed up.
Clark: You did?
Chloe: Ask her how.
Clark: How?
Lois: I kissed him.
Chloe: Isn't that romantic? [Clark sighs and nods] Oh, I'm sorry Lois. Finish the story. [Clark tries to interrupt] This is the best part.
Lois: Hmmm. Well, he was holding me in his arms, and - Ollie's a good kisser, don't get me wrong - but that Green Arrow? He could teach Ollie a thing or two.

TV Show: Smallville
Oliver: Rain check?
Lois: Sure. I'll just put it next to the rest of the umbrellas you keep handing me. I mean, is it just me or is this relationship all interruptus and no coitus?

Lex: And I want a ponytail! Disappointment abounds.

Victor: Ollie found me. I was living on the streets. He gave me a warm meal, roof over my head.... and a reason to go on living.
Oliver: Did he just say something nice about me?
A.C.: Maybe he's starting to rust.
Clark: A.C., how'd you fall into all this?
A.C.: I got into a little trouble sinking a whaler off the coast of Japan.
Victor: A little trouble? That's what you're gonna go with? Ollie had to save your scaly butt from getting filleted.
A.C.: I would have gotten out of it.
Oliver: Before or after they packed you into a thousand little tin cans?
Victor: Well, at least he would have been dolphin-safe.
A.C.: Fish jokes. That's all I ever get are fish jokes.

TV Show: Smallville
Lex: You.
Green Arrow: You remember. I'm touched.
Lex: Well, it's a little hard to forget. Last time we met, you put an arrow in my chest.
Green Arrow: You put a bullet in mine. Bygones?
Lex: Go to hell.
Green Arrow: You first.

TV Show: Smallville
Victor: Cyborg to Aquaman. What the hell are you fish-stick?

TV Show: Smallville
A.C.: Why you taken so long?
Victor: Nice! But please, put-put a shirt.
A.C.: I swim faster when I´m naked.
Victor: I bet you do.
A.C.: (Smiles to Cyborg) You are lucky. I´m still why my pants on.

Oliver: Ever since my parents died, I've jumped around from city to city, from continent to continent and in all those years, not once have I regretted leaving anyone. But then I met you.
Lois: Then stay.
Oliver: I can't. Because there are more important things in this world than what I want.... and what I love. Someday I can explain why.
Lois: Don't expect me to be waiting around for that when you get back.
Oliver: I'm not coming back, Lois. At least not any time soon. I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.
Lois: Well, you finally got around to it anyway, didn't you?
Oliver: This is it, the moment, right? The moment that I'm gonna regret for the rest of my life, isn't it?
Lois: Yes.

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: Impulse, Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Arrow. What do you guys call your team?

Dr. Hudson: You suffer from paranoid schizophrenia. You have for a number of years... after the death of your birth parents in the Smallville meteor shower.
Clark: See, it's not true. My birth parents were out of town for the meteor shower.
Dr. Hudson: You were placed in the wonderful adoptive home of the Kents. But like many children, you invented a make-believe world to help you deal with the trauma you endured. You convinced yourself that you came from another planet, that you possessed special powers and you used them to save humanity.

TV Show: Smallville
John: You're not crazy, Kal-El. We don't have much time, so listen to me closely. I believe you're from another planet.
Clark: What makes you say that?
John: Because like you, I'm not from here. I come from Mars. You can't trust anyone.

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: I know who I am!
Dr. Hudson: I'm not sure you do. Your name is Clark Kent, not Kal-El. And Jor-El isn't your father.
[Dr. Hudson shows Clark a bottle of soap labeled "Jorel"]
Woman: [over an intercom] Dr. Fine, Dr. Milton Fine, please report to level three, stat.
Dr. Hudson: When the human mind has faced tremendous emotional pain, it has no choice but to protect itself. You've taken bits and pieces of your surroundings and created an alternate universe where you feel safe and secure. Clark... in a world where you truly have no power, you chose to give yourself superpowers.

TV Show: Smallville
Lana: Okay. Let's say that I am a hallucination... and that your world really does exist. I'm about to marry your greatest enemy. You're an alien from another planet who's responsible for so much tragedy. Do you really want to live in that reality?
Clark: I don't know what to believe anymore.
Lana: Don't you just want to take this treatment and be with me?
Clark: Of course I want to be with you... more than you could ever imagine.
Lana: Then stop fighting, please. You've lived like this for so long, carried this burden of being a hero. It's time to just let go and live a normal life.
Clark: I've never been normal.
Lana: Your destiny isn't to save the world, Clark. It's to be with me for the rest of our lives.

TV Show: Smallville
Lana: Are you gonna tell me? What's that look in your eye?
Clark: I had a dream about you last night.
Lana: I hope that it wasn't a nightmare.
Clark: No! We were 10 years old and I gave you a plastic ring from of a gumball machine in Quinn's Market.
Lana: That's sweet. What was the occasion?
Clark: It was an engagement ring.
Lana: So what happened next?
Clark: [speaking softly] I woke up....

TV Show: Smallville

Chloe: Oh, is this when I'm supposed to cue the Barry Manilow music?

TV Show: Smallville
Clark: What is it you always say about Valentine's Day? Oh, yeah. Our annual sneak peek at hell. That must have been before cupid struck.
Chloe: Don't you think after being trapped in a front seat to the Clark/Lana opera that I deserve a good V-Day?
Clark: You're the only person who can make me feel guilty, relieved, and a little sad all in one sentence.
Chloe: It's a gift.

TV Show: Smallville
Chloe: Lois and Clark?
Jimmy: You got to admit, they got chemistry.
Chloe: Yeah, so do nitroglycerin and peroxide, and I don't suggest putting them together.
