Synopsis: After everything that happened with the VRA, Lois (Erica Durance) tells Clark (Tom Welling) it’s best to make Clark Kent forgettable and awkward so people don’t suspect he’s The Blur. However, the two are stunned when a fame-hungry superhero from the future, Booster Gold (guest star Eric Martsolf), sweeps into town and begins making saves and posing for press ops, completely winning over the city of Metropolis. Booster begins his campaign to take The Blur’s place as the ‘World’s Greatest Superhero’ and tries to charm Lois into writing a story about him, but she’s not having his antics and begins her own campaign for The Blur. During one of Booster’s saves, an alien weapon in the form of a scarab falls from a truck and fuses itself to a boy named Jaime Reyes (guest star Jaden Brandt Bartlett), turning him into the Blue Beetle. Unfortunately, Jaime is unable to control the suit and Blue Beetle starts attacking Metropolis.

The episode was written by Geoff Johns and was directed by Welling.

Chloe: Clark, with a sneeze like yours, that says a lot about your lung capacity. Now just take a really deep breath and blow it out as hard as you can.

Clark: That’s a steel door, it’s not a birthday cake.

Chloe: I don’t see anything else working. Come on, let’s see what you got. Huff, puff, and blow this door down. [Clark blows] Good thing you didn’t have garlic today.

---

Chloe: You just take care of that cold. We’ve enough natural disasters around here without having to worry about Hurricane Clark looming off the coast.

---

Lois: Miracles really do happen: man walked on the moon, call waiting was created, and Lois Lane got her first by-line on the front page of the Inquisitor.

Chloe: Hey, that’s great, Lo. I don’t know how I feel about the alien angle, but…

Lois: I wasn’t too crazy about the E.T. spin, either, but my editor insisted it’d help sell papers, so…

Clark: Well, let’s hear it for journalistic integrity.

Lois: Look, I swear, you guys, when I was writing that article, I don’t know… I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life. The thrill of discovery, the clacking of keys, the scent of fresh ink. Yeah, I think I’ve finally found my calling.

Wither

Lex: Happiness is just a feeling of euphoria. It’s your brain chemistry going into overdrive. That’s why so many relationships fail when the honeymoon ends and reality sets in.

Lana: Wow, have you always been such a romantic?

---

Clark: Hey, how goes life living with Lois?

Chloe: Closer to coffee, further from sanity, but, you know, until Metropolis University reopens, I guess… what is it they say about a gift horse?

Clark: “Stay away from the mouth,” which is difficult because Lois uses hers so much.

---

Lex: You’ve always had an eye for beauty. It’s a Latin name, formositas falsus. “Beauty that belies a dark nature.”

Clark: So, even your plants have hidden agendas.

Lex: Well, I guess it all comes down to survival of the fittest. Doesn’t it?

Clark: A strange vine has cropped up over the ridge at Lone Pine. It’s attacking people.

Lex: And naturally you came to my little shop of horrors to foil my ingenious plot to repopulate the planet with vegetation. Sorry, Clark. I’m all out of evil.

---

Lois: [to Oliver] Well, I wasn’t going to give it to you, but the tights… you’re totally pulling it off.

Lex: You should see him in a tutu.

Oliver Queen: Lex Luthor… with a girl that he doesn’t have to inflate.

---

Gloria: Kryptonians, always so hard and cold.

Clark: You can’t go home. I can’t let you stay. What are we gonna do?

Gloria: We’ll have to let nature decide.

Arrow

Oliver: This is funny. You know, the way Lois talked about you, I thought you were gonna be a little bit more of a…

Clark: Little more what? Of a geek?

Lois: Well, you’re not exactly jumping the velvet ropes at nightclubs, so…

Clark: It’s really nice to see that Lois has found someone who can overlook her personality.

Oliver: Oh, don’t worry about it, Clark. If I lived under the same roof with such a beautiful woman, I probably would mask my feelings in sarcasm, too.

---

Oliver: [discussing Lois investigating the Green Arrow] Look, forget about this guy for the weekend. I can have you in Cancun by sunset, sipping margaritas.

Lois: Well, as much as I’d love to be your beach bimbo, the only person I’ll be spending my weekend with is into leather and has a perverted fetish for archery.

---

Green Arrow: Looks like I’m not the only one with a secret. I hate to break it to you, tough guy, but you’re on the wrong side.

Clark: I’m not sure the police would agree.

Green Arrow: Look around you. The days of the good guy running the show are over.

---

Chloe: So, how did you let this guy slip through your fingers?

Clark: This Green Arrow Bandit’s got a lot of gadgets.

Chloe: Gadgets? Against the Man of Steel?

Clark: He’s good, all right?

Chloe: Fine, backing off. The Green Arrow Bandit? Is that really the name Lois came up with? If you ask me, I’d lose the “Bandit,” but, not my story.

---

Green Arrow: I saved you.

Lois: Yeah, from goons who were trying to find you. They’re not the only one with a “V” for vendetta on your little leather ass.

Green Arrow: Little? I’ve been really working the glutes lately, too.

Lois: Did the humor come with the costume?

Green Arrow: Did the Tomb Raider routine come from wanting daddy’s attention?

---

Oliver: Clark, you have abilities I couldn’t even dream of. And I admire that you use them to save the people you’re close to.

Clark: But?

Oliver: But there’s a whole world of people out there, Clark. They need us. With your potential… you can’t wait for them to come to you. When you’re ready to do something about that, you let me know.

Reunion

Oliver: Clark, I was wondering if my security system would keep someone like you out.

Clark: Looks like you need an upgrade.

Oliver: Or you need to learn how to knock.

---

Oliver: I was thinking about developing a boxing-glove arrow, and then I thought, “come up with something a little fancier.” [shoots an arrow] Contained Electromagnetic Pulse. Knocks out everything electrical within an 8-foot radius: cameras, laser systems… pacemakers. That last one was a joke, Clark.

Clark: I’m laughing on the inside.

Oliver: Maybe we’ll get lucky one day and it’ll bubble to the surface.

---

Young Lex: What are you going do?

Duncan: I’m going help people, like Warrior Angel.

Young Lex: You better hit the gym. Spandex is tough to pull off.

---

Lois: We’ve all done things we’re not proud of. I just wish that Oliver didn’t feel like he had to hide it from me.

Clark: You know, sometimes in order to protect the people we love, we keep secrets.

Lois: That is… totally retarded.

---

Clark: Making the wrong choices and living with the consequences… it’s not easy, is it?

Oliver: Speaking from experience, huh?

Clark: More than I’d like.

Oliver: You know, we all make bad choices, Clark. All we can do is hope to make the right ones in the future, right?

Fallout

Chloe: Jimmy, this isn’t a story. It’s a hunch. Besides what were you doing playing stalker-azzi in the middle of the night following Lex Luthor around?

Jimmy Olsen: Being proactive, hopefully nailing a front-page shot. You don’t think some back-alley hand-off is suspicious?

Chloe: I think Lex Luthor getting out of bed in the morning is suspicious.

---

Clark: I haven’t been the best son.

Raya: Your father was hard on himself, too. He felt guilty that he couldn’t save Krypton. His only redemption was sending you to save Earth.

Clark: Save it from what?

Raya: Extinction. Your civilization is going to destroy itself, just like Krypton. You should know this. It was part of your training.

Clark: I haven’t started my training. Now the Fortress is damaged. Jor-El tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen. I mean, how could I trust someone who brought so much pain into my life?

Raya: Pain is a part of anyone’s journey, Kal-El. You can’t escape it. You must accept your destiny.

---

Baern: So this is Jor-El’s famed Fortress of knowledge. I thought it’d be bigger.

Clark: It doesn’t matter. You won’t be staying long.

Baern: Big talk, big man. I’m surprised you’re still standing. I guess Jor-El was right about how the yellow sun affects you Kryptonian cockroaches. But I’m back. And now, I’m supersized. This is the perfect place for the fall of the House of El. Paying for the sins of your father can be a bitch.

---

Martha: It looks like Krypton gave us more than one hero.

---

Clark: Mom, I know how much you love me and how much dad… but I’ve always felt different. Because I am. And Raya was the first person I ever met who could really understand that. And I don’t think I ever really thought about what I’d lost… a family, a whole race of people who were just like me. For the first time, I’m ready to stop running from who I really am… from my destiny

Rage

Lex: What do you think is faster, an arrow or a bullet?

Green Arrow: There’s only one way to find out.

---

Clark: You’re looking awfully healthy.

Oliver: It’s called exercise, Clark. It’s something we mere mortals have to do from time to time.

Clark: According to the Daily Planet, the Green Arrow was shot last night.

Oliver: If I was shot, don’t you think I’d be laying in a hospital or a morgue? I’m not bulletproof like you are, Clark.

---

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?

Oliver: Clark, I don’t need to take advice from someone whose only worry in life is to protect his own identity.

---

Clark: Oliver, you’re not a killer!

Oliver: No, but he is, Clark. You and I both know the world’s a better place without Lex Luthor.

Clark: That’s not for us to decide.

---

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.

Static

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.

Subterranean

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?

---

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.

---

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.

Hydro

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.

---

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

Chloe: Well, his career was over. And Lake was right; the coroner’s report says that Dawson was juiced up on muscle mixers.

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?

---

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?

---

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.”

---

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.

Justice

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?

---

Bart: I want a lawyer.

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.

---

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.

---

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

(A door opens and Cyborg see a lot of guards in the floor)

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.

---

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

Bart: I don’t know. I’ve been thinking, you know, that we need something cool. We need something like…. like-

Oliver: I was thinking about something with the word “justice” in it. After all, that’s what Lex is gonna get a big dose of.

Labyrinth

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.

---

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.

---

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.

---

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.

---

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….

---

Clark: The important part is… you were the one person who believed in me. I don’t know what I’d do without you, Chloe.

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

Crimson

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.

---

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.

---

Lois: Please tell me we weren’t just set up.

Clark: Looks like it.

Lois: Us. That’s like hot fudge and halibut.

Clark: I take it I’m the halibut.

Lois: Naturally.

---

Lois: Wait. I knew I’d kissed you before, in the alley. You’re Green Arrow.

Clark: Hardly. I was just pretending to be so you wouldn’t know it was Oliver.

Lois: Oliver? Oh, my god. All those times he disappeared… what is my deal with emotionally unavailable weekend warriors? Thank god I finally found a normal guy.

Clark: What do you mean “normal”? Oliver’s not even in the same league as me.

Lois: You don’t have to be macho just for me. I like the dorky farm boy thing.

Clark: Dorkier than a hood and a quiver? Just because I don’t wear a costume and splash my face all over the papers-

Lois: Clark! So what if your signature move is driving a tractor? I think it’s adorable.

Clark: You know, Lois, I think that it’s time for you to meet the real Clark Kent.

---

Lana: I’m not a competition.

Clark: You are to Lex. He didn’t tell you? He’s always wanted everything I’ve ever had. And you were at the top of that list. You’re just a trophy to him. And he’s nothing but your consolation prize.

Trespass

Jimmy: Look, Clark, despite our differences, I think that you’re a decent guy. Chloe obviously thinks that you can walk on air, so… who am I to stand in the way?

Clark: Jimmy, hold on.

Jimmy: But if you hurt her, I don’t care how impossibly gigantic you are, I will chop you down like a cherry tree. And that, ain’t no lie.

Clark: It’s nice to see that you’d risk ending up in traction to protect Chloe’s honor.

Jimmy: A girl like that… worth spending the rest of my life in a body cast.

Clark: I feel the same way. As her friend. Nothing more, I swear.

---

Martha: [to Lana] If you’re taking the Luthor name, I guess armed guards and dodging the press go with the gold ring.

---

Lex: Looks like you’re working out some issues there.

Clark: Just doing a little honest work, Lex. You should try it sometime.

Lex: Why start now? My life’s perfect.

---

Lex: I just wanted to take a little sleigh ride down memory lane, visit the scene of the crime. Hey, here’s where you took my fiancée after kidnapping her, right before you tried to kill me.

Clark: I wasn’t myself that night… I’m sorry.

Lex: Sorry? What, that you didn’t finish the job? You know, I’m still a bit fuzzy on the details, what with you trying to choke the life out of me, but what fascinates me is how after all that, Lana could still feel safe coming here.

Clark: That was her choice. I had nothing to do with it.

Lex: You never do. That’s all right. You see, I understand the allure of trying to unravel the mystery of Clark Kent. I suffered from it once too. When I thought you mattered.

---

Lex: [to Clark] What I want is to make Lana happy for the rest of her life. And I want you to be there on our wedding day… to see what you lost.

Freak

Chloe: Face it, Clark, I’m a walking time bomb.

Clark: Then consider me your own personal bomb squad.

Promise

Lionel: [reading Lana’s letter to Lex] This will destroy Lex…I give you my word Ms. Lang, if you don’t honor the promise that you gave my son, or I find out you’ve told anyone about this conversation I will kill Clark Kent.

---

Clark: I waited for you….

Lana: Clark!

Clark: What happened?

Lana: I’m..I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you…but I wanna be with Lex

Clark: That’s not true. He got to you didn’t he?

Lana: No, please just believe me and let it go.

Clark: Let it go?…Let it go? Lana I love you….I love you!

Combat

Chloe: Clark, slow down! I don’t have enough money to hire a full-time maid to clean up every time you decide to blow in!

Clark: What did you find?

---

Clark: How could Lana do it? How could she marry Lex?

Martha: I don’t know Clark, but she made her choice.

Clark: Or someone made it for her.

Progeny

Nemesis

Chloe: [on voice mail] Hey, Clark, it’s me again. Where are you? I feel like your stalker ex-girlfriend, even though I was never your girlfriend. It was just an analogy – a bad one.

---

Clark: I saw Lana the day of the wedding and she was gonna leave you. What did you do her?

Lex: I don’t know. The answer must have gotten lost in that dark abyss we call my soul.

---

Clark: Were we ever really friends, Lex?

Lex: I don’t know. I have nothing to compare it to. You’re the only real friend I’ve ever had, Clark. And somewhere along the way, you saw me as your nemesis, turned your back on me.

---

Clark: Chloe, I’ve x-rayed these tunnels over a dozen times, and they all just seem to lead to Reeves Dam.

Chloe: Maybe so, but if Lex is willing to go up against Tomb Raider for them, I can’t retire my reporter’s notebook just yet.

---

Lana: I wonder how Martha Kent would handle hearing that you used her son as a bargaining chip? Tell me what you know.

Lionel: Well, I see you’ve embraced wholeheartedly what it means to be a Luthor.

Noir

Prototype

[Clark talks to Lana about Lex.]

Clark: Lana, whatever reason you had to go through with the wedding — it was the wrong choice. You have no idea what he is capable of.

Lana: You’d be surprised what I know.

Clark: Then why are you still here?

Lana: We all have our secrets, Clark. Sometimes we have to keep them to protect those we love.

---

Lex: Every time I open my heart to someone, I end up getting hurt. If you ever betrayed me, I don’t know what I’d do.

Lana: I’d never hurt the man I love.

---

Clark: It will be just like old times, like when you first got to Smallville

Lois: You’re just hoping to catch me in the shower again.

Phantom

[Clark lifts Lionel by his throat]

Lionel: Clark, if Lana’s spoken to you, I know what you must be thinking, but you’ve got to listen to me.

Clark: I’ve listened to you for too long!

Lionel: Lex is tracking a wraith from the Phantom Zone. I had to force Lana to marry him. It was the only way she could get close to him to get the information for me I need to help you.

Clark: No. I never asked for your help. And I never will.

Lionel: You’re not a murderer. You’re Kal-El.

Clark: Don’t call me by that name!

---

Clark: Chloe, I told Lana my secret. She knows everything. She knows that… I’m an alien.

Chloe: Wow. So, I guess we have a new charter member of the Clark Kent secret-keeping club… What did she say?

Clark: She kissed me.

Chloe: That’s fantastic. You’ve been wanting this forever. You just… you must be on Cloud 99.

Clark: I will be as soon as I deal with this Phantom.

---

Chloe: Look, Lois, take it from someone who’s gone up against the Lex Luthor army more than once. Not only will victory remain elusive, but you’re almost certain to step on a land mine in the process.

Lois: I’m the general’s daughter, remember? I live for battle.

---

Clark: [Clark superspeeds into Reeves Dam and pushes Lex up against the wall] She was your wife, Lex. Why did you do it?

Lex: Now is not the time to lecture me about my marriage, Clark.

Clark: Why’d you do it? Just tell me!

Lex: GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!

Clark: You afraid she was gonna bring you down, or was it just too humiliating for you that she was gonna leave you? Why’d you have to kill her? Why?

Lex: No.

Clark: No. You don’t to need act so surprised. You’re the one who killed her. You put a bomb in her car. You’re the one who killed her!

---

Clark: I don’t understand. None of this makes any sense.

Lionel: It was when Lex was possessed with Zod. I became possessed with all your father’s knowledge. I found myself writing, in Kryptonian, the symbol for power.

Martian Manhunter: It was a beacon. The same beacon Jor-El used when he needed me.

Clark: You knew my father?

Martian Manhunter: I worked for Jor-El, bringing criminals to justice. When Krypton was on the verge of annihilation, he asked me to keep an eye out for you.

Clark: Where have you been all these years?

Martian Manhunter: Watching from a distance.

Lionel: Your father wanted you to pass the test without any help. He wasn’t to interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.

Martian Manhunter: When you unleashed those phantoms, your life was at stake. I didn’t have a choice.

Lionel: Like what happened at the docks in Seattle.

Clark: When that phantom infected my mind?

Lionel: That’s right.

Martian Manhunter: Unfortunately, I’ve lost a step since then.

Clark: What happened?

Martian Manhunter: Nothing.

[Clark opens Martian Manhunter’s jacket and sees he was injured]

Clark: That doesn’t look like nothing.

Martian Manhunter: I had a run-in with the last phantom. I have to leave Earth’s atmosphere to heal, but first I must complete the job I started.

Jor-El: You have chosen to defy me. This defiance cannot go without consequences.

Gemini

Persona

[Bizarro finds Brainiac.]

Bizarro: Look at yourself, you can barely catch a rat.

Brainiac: I am the brain interactive construct. No matter my form, my intellect remains formidable. Do not underestimate me.

Siren

[Dinah is invited to join Green Arrow’s Justice League.]

Dinah Lance: I’m not really a team player.

Oliver Queen: Good. Then you’ll fit right in.

Traveler

Chloe: [to Jor-El, in the Fortress of Solitude] Out of all the planets across the universe you decided to send your only son to this one, to Earth! You trusted us to protect him! Now please, Jor-El, I need you to trust me. I love your son! He’s in danger and he needs our help!

---

Patricia Swann: My father often reminded me that despite the power of the sun, it’s always night on half the planet. For all the good you do, there will always be darkness, people who would kill you or abuse your power for their own gain. Lionel Luthor is just one of many.

Veritas

Clark: Then why has he [Brainiac] turned his attention toward you?

Kara: I don’t know. But when we go up against him, it would be helpful if were on the same playing field. Or should I say sky?

---

Clark: Not helping.

Kara: I’m sorry, Yeah, I know. It… but it’s just really easy. Just up, up and away.

---

Lois: Okay. Better make sure that camera is loaded with ammo because I got tomorrow’s headline. “Daughter of Nobel-Winning Astronomer Murdered.”

---

Jimmy: That Swann woman they fished out of the lake last night?

Lois: Yeah.

Jimmy: I thought that she drowned.

Lois: More like sank. Kind of hard to swim after you’ve been shot.

---

Lionel: No, I’ve repented.

Chloe: That’s right, you’re an intensely spiritual man. You amassed all the power a human could until you found out about Clark. Befriending him is the closest thing you’ll get to seeing God.

Descent

 

Chloe: Long night. It’s good to see the sun again.

Clark: It’s too bad Lionel’s not here to see it.

Chloe: Lex closed the funeral to any and all guests. In other word’s Lex is the only one invited.

Clark: Lionel deserves better.

Chloe: At least we know how Lionel truly felt about you. I mean, he thought of you as his second son.

Clark: Another person who treated me like a son and died because of it.

Chloe: -Clark–

Clark: Jor-El died getting me on that ship. My dad died of a heart attack from the powers he took on protecting me. And now Lionel’s been murdered for protecting my secret.

Chloe: They did die for you, Clark. But ultimately, they died for all of us. There was a reason those men were in your life. Each of them added something to the man that you are today.

Clark: How could Lex have done it? How does a son… …murder his own father?

Chloe: Total absence of love. Some say that’s the definition of evil. You have to get those keys away from Lex, Clark, before he kills anyone else.

Clark: He’s not gonna to have the chance. I won’t let him.

Lex Luthor: I loved you like a brother, Clark, but I’m sorry it had to end this way.

Smallville Quotes Season 8

Odyssey

Lois: I can’t believe it, one alarm clock malfunction and suddenly you’re demoted and sent to deliverance territory. What the hell are you doing here?

Clark: I’m…

Man: You know him?

Lois: Yes.

Clark: No.

Lois: He wishes he didn’t know me. I thought I dropped you at your cell.

Man: We’ll take him back.

Man: I’ll handle him.

---

Lois: What are you doing here.

Clark: I heard they have good espresso.

Lois: You disappear for a month and come back with a sense of humor?

Clark: I’ve been tracking Chloe down, the question is how did you get here?

Lois: Feminine charm.

Clark: (scoffs)

Lois: Yes I do have some.

Clark: Great job protecting your short supply of it.

Lois: Why don’t you give your stand up a rest and do exactly as I tell you, that way we can find Chloe and stay alive at the same time.

---

Clark: You mind not pointing that thing at me?

Lois: God Clark, I’m not aiming at you. What?! I’m not! Besides it’s only your kneecap.

Clark: Well that makes me feel a lot better.

Lois: Look I know that you’re nervous Smallville but you gotta remember I grew up around green berets and navy seals not cornstalks and jersey cows. So stick with me, I’ll protect you, you’ll be fine.

Clark: Chloe.

Lois: Out of the way Smallville. Chloe!

Chloe: Lois look behind you, watch out!

---

Clark: Oh, I’m sorry is this bothering you?

Lois: The chair or you in it?

Clark: Well I better get going. I’ll see you bright and early Monday morning.

Lois: Woah, woah, why Monday? What do you mean bright and early?

Clark: Lois. You’re the one that gave me the application. You’re looking at the newest recruit for the Daily Planet.

Lois: That’s great. What made you change your mind?

Clark: I guess I wanted to be in the middle of the action.

Lois: Good for you. So, are you going to be starting down in the mailroom?

Clark: I’m going to be a little closer to home. Looks like we’re going to be neighbors Lane.

Lois: You gotta be kidding me.

Lois: Okay, obviously there’s been some sort of mistake. It’s not like I squeezed into 5″ booted heels for my health.

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

Metallo

Chloe: Lois means something to you, something more.

Rabid

Echo

Roulette

Chloe: You were living like you had a death wish, Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were ever going to make it out alive. And I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.

Oliver: Did you have to push with a 3-ton truck?

Chloe: I didn’t think a tricycle would be a strong enough point.

---

Oliver: You saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth… and the man.

---

Oliver: You’ve done a hell of a job keeping the world safe on your own, Clark. I’m here to help you now.

Clark: Good. Something tells me…soon the world will need all the help we can get.

Crossfire

Lois: Look, I appreciate you helping me audition, I’m still angry you didn’t tell me how bad Oliver was doing, but you’re here anyway, so please, don’t make me wish you weren’t.

Clark: It’s okay, Lois. You don’t need to get all worked up like you usually do.

Lois: Well, excuse me Mr. I’m-slow-and-steady-and-know-what’s-best-for-everyone, this happens to be important to me. With newspapers on the endangered species list, news television is my one and only back-up plan.

Clark: Don’t you think you can be a little less dramatic with this whole thing?

Lois: You could be a little more passionate with this whole thing. But not you, not mild-mannered Clark Kent. Do you even care if I get this job?

Clark: Of course I care, I bought a new tie.

Lois: Oh, well I bought a whole new outfit.

Clark: Yeah, you look great.

Lois: Don’t do that.

Clark: Do what?

Lois: Don’t you dare reassure me right now.

Clark: Lois, I’m only doing this for you. How else am I going to get that second date?

Lois: (Pauses) Well, you should have thought of that before you stood me up the first time.

Lois: (talking to the waiter) You got anything stronger?

Waiter: Of course.

Clark: Last thing you need is a drink Lois.

Lois: Thanks Clark. You sound like my mother on prom night. How do I look?

Clark: If this were a prom, you’d be crowned queen. Your date’s a lucky man.

Lois: Do I detect a note of jealousy in the notoriously nice Clark Kent? Be careful my date doesn’t hear you. He might just have to take you down.

Clark: (chuckles) Like to see him try.

Lois: You know what they say: all’s fair in love and war.

Clark: And what’s it gonna be for us Lois? Love or war?

Lois: Clark, it sounds like you’re asking me out on another date?

Clark: If I was, would you say yes?

Lois: I’ll tell you what I’d say… (sees Oliver walking in) Oliver!

(Clark walks in the Daily Planet bullpen, sees Lois reading something, and nervously walks up to her.)

Clark: Lois?

Lois: Did you hear? The brilliant brass over at KZXP have decided to go with someone else for their morning show.

Clark: Lois?

Lois: After everything that happened, after Ollie and I almost got killed, guess who they’ve decided to go with? (She shows him a promo picture of Catherine Grant as the new correspondent.)

Lois: Apparently blondes test better with morning viewers.

Clark: Lois!

Lois: I’m sorry, I never should have tried out in the first place, or dragged you with me, and I just–

John Jones: I could use some dinner. Chloe?

Chloe: Uh, sure. You’re buying, Mr. Queen.

John Jones: Don’t look at me, I’m living off a policeman’s salary.

Smallville Trivia

Smallville Tagline:
      Every superhero has a beginning…
      Before he was Superman, he was just a young man with extraordinary abilities.
      Before he was Superman, he was just a boy with extraordinary abilities.
      The Superman you couldn’t know–until now.

     

After the 15th episode of Season 10 airs, Smallville will take the crown (and the Guinness World Record) for being the longest consecutively running Sci-Fi television serial of all time (10 years without a break). “Stargate SG-1” (1997) holds that title with 213 episodes, which Smallville will supersede by 5 episodes by the end of Season 10 (it’s final season). Doctor Who however holds the record for the longest running Sci-Fi show in the world, running from 1963 to 2010, with another series starting in 2011, totalling over 700 episodes.

Jensen Ackles (played Alec on Dark Angel) was second choice to play Clark Kent. If Tom Welling had not accepted the part, the role would have gone to him.  

Note: In season four, Ackles joined the cast of “Smallville” to play ‘Jason Teague’ (Lana’s love interest)                      

Milo Ventimiglia, before scoring his role on Gilmore Girls, auditioned for Smallville. Although the role went to Tom Welling, the producers liked him so much they gave him the role of Jess [Gilmore Girls]. 

In the comic books, Lana Lang is the one with the secret crush on Clark Kent.     

Chloe and Whitney were created specifically for the show (they were never mentioned in the Superman comics).     

Cynthia Ettinger was originally cast as Martha Kent in the pilot episode. Before the pilot was broadcast, the role was re-cast with Annette O’Toole and her scenes were edited into the existing footage.     

Annette O’Toole, who plays Mrs. Kent, also appeared in Superman III (1983) as Lana Lang.     

Clark consistently wears red and/or blue clothing, the same livery he will eventually wear as Superman.     

Lex Luther’s mansion is the same mansion used in X-2 (X-Men 2).     

Errors in geography: Although set in the state of Kansas, we often see the mountains of Vancouver (its actual filming location) appearing in the background of exterior shots.     

A sequence in Hourglass showing Lex Luthor as President of the United States was filmed on the set of “The West Wing”.     

The pilot episode shows Chloe handing Pete Ross a wad of cash. Most likely an in-joke from the Canadian production crew, if you look carefully, you can see a Canadian $5 bill sticking out of it.     

The number on Clark’s Jersey in episode 3 (Hothead) is 89. This is also the year, according to the pilot, that he crashed to Earth from Krypton.     

The spaceship reappers differntly in season two than what was show from the pilot episode. The spaceship (season two) has the hole for the octogonal piece and an small golden cupule, but in the first spaceship it had no cupule.    

In the pilot episode the Kent’s mail box is different from the one that appears the rest of the seasons.     

At the beginning of the episode “Nicodemus”, Jonathan Kent is listening to the theme song from “The Dukes of Hazzard” (1979). John Schneider, who plays Mr. Kent, also played Bo Duke.     

Kristin Kreuk had a stunt double in Nicodemus. Yes it is true, it was not Kristin in the Pool doing those wonderful stunts. The Stunt work was done by Marny Eng a Vancouver-based stunt performer and stunt co-ordinator.     

Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) is no stranger to the world of superheroes. He has repeatedly lent his voice talents to the animated series “Batman Beyond” (1999) and is also the voice of the Flash in the animated series “Justice League.” (2001).     

The climax of first season episode “Stray” (episode #16) was shot on location in a bowling alley in Richmond, BC, Canada. Coincidentally, the bowling alley in question is named “Lois Lanes”, also the name of Clark Kent’s future love interest.     

At the charity party the end of “Fever” Pete hands Clark a CD and tells him it’s the Talon mix. If you look closely you’ll see that it is actually the soundtrack to the series.     

We find out in season three on “Delete” (3:11), that in fact Lois Lane is Chloe’s cousin.     

According to Martha, Clark’s first word was “Lara”, the name of his Kryptonian Biological mother as revealed in “Memoria”.  

The Smallville High Student Newspaper that Clark and Chloe write for is named for Glenville High School’s Student Newspaper “The Torch” which Superman creator Jerry Siegel wrote for when he was a student there.

The sound effect used for the sound of Kryptonite radiating is the same as the one used in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” (1993).

The name of one of the Kryptonian baddies from season 5 is named Nam-Ek, the same name of the race of aliens come to earth (the race of aliens that Piccolo hails from) in the anime Dragonball Z. Nam-Ek is also the name of one of the Phantom Zone criminals in the DC Comics Superman titles, first appearing in Superman #282 (December 1974).

Kristen Bell auditioned for the role of Chloe Sullivan.

Although he plays the lead character, Tom Welling has admitted in interviews that he is not a fan of the Superman comic books.

‘Michael Rosenbaum’ starred in Clint Eastwood’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997). In the film, Rosenbaum’s character was a witness in the prosecution of Kevin Spacey’s character. Both Spacey and Rosenbaum have portrayed legendary comic book super villain, Lex Luthor.

Tom Welling is two years older than Brandon Routh who played the adult version of Superman in Superman Returns (2006).

In almost all the episodes the title of the episode is said somewhere in the show.

In a neat touch, Margot Kidder, who plays Lois in the Christopher Reeve-era SUPERMAN movies, makes an appearance in the first episode. Meanwhile, Lana has picked up a new boyfriend in Paris, Lex has got his hands on a kryptonian crystal in Egypt, and Lionel (John Glover) sets a mutant on the trail of Chloe to determine whether she is dead or not.

Lex steps further from the light into darkness. New characters (Krypto, Mr. Mxyzptlk) and a new power emerge. The calling awaits Clark an awakening to a destiny that only he can accept and fulfill.

While Lex Luthor is presumed dead, and Lana Lang has left Smallville for good, Clark also meets new characters Davis Bloome, Smallville’s interpretation of Doomsday, as well as the new CEO of LuthorCorp, Tess Mercer. In other storylines, Clark and Oliver Queen clash over how to handle Lex when he resurfaces, while Chloe Sullivan and Jimmy Olsen take their relationship to the next level.

Over the course of seven seasons—beginning on the day Clark rescues him from drowning—Lex tries to uncover the secrets that Clark keeps. Lex’s curiosity eventually leads to a blowout between him and Clark in the season three finale. Lex’s investigations ultimately lead to him discovering the truth about Clark’s alien heritage. Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan Allison Mack portrays one of Clark’s best friends, Chloe Sullivan. Editor of the school newspaper, her journalistic curiosity-always wanting to “expose falsehoods” and “know the truth”-causes tension with her friends, especially when she is digging in Clark’s past. She discovers Clark’s secret in the fourth season episode “Pariah”, but the knowledge of his secret is eventually stripped away from her by Clark, who wanted to release her from the burden and danger of knowing his secret, in the season eight episode “Abyss”. Annette O’Toole as Martha Kent Clark’s adoptive mother. She, along with her husband Jonathan, give Clark sage advice about how to cope with his growing abilities. In season five, she takes a state senate seat. This leads to a job as U.S. Senator in Washington, D.C. in season six, and the character’s exit from the show. Cynthia Ettinger was originally cast as Martha Kent, but during filming everyone realized that she was not right for the role, including Ettinger. Annette O’Toole was committed to the television series The Huntress when Ettinger was filming the original pilot. Around the time the creators were looking to recast the role of Martha Kent, The Huntress was canceled, which allowed O’Toole to join the cast of Smallville. O’Toole had previously portrayed Lana Lang in Superman III. John Schneider as Jonathan Kent Clark’s adoptive father. He goes to great lengths to protect his son’s secret. According to Schneider, Jonathan is “perfectly willing to go to jail, or worse, to protect his son.” John Schneider was written out of the show on the series’ 100th episode, with Jonathan dying of a heart attack the night of his election victory. Millar and Gough wanted a recognizable face for Smallville. Gough and Millar loved the idea of casting John Schneider as Jonathan Kent, because Schneider was already known as Bo Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard, which Gough saw as adding belief that he could have grown up running a farm. Sam Jones III as Pete Ross Another of Clark’s best friends. He is the first person Clark voluntarily informs of his secret. He is in love with Chloe, which he keeps to himself because of the Clark-Lana-Chloe love triangle already taking place. Pete Ross was written out of the series at the end of season three but made a guest appearance in season seven. Jones was the last of the series regulars to be cast. Gough and Millar saw Jones four days before they began filming for the pilot. In the comics, Pete Ross is Caucasian, and the producers chose to cast Jones, who is African-American, against the mythology. Eric Johnson as Whitney Fordman Lana’s boyfriend, who becomes jealous of Clark and Lana’s budding friendship, going so far as to haze Clark. He eventually reconciles with Clark, before joining the Marines. Whitney was written out of the show in the first season’s finale, but he made cameo appearances in the season two episode “Visage”, where it is revealed he died in combat overseas, and the season four episode “Façade”, during a flashback to Clark’s freshman year. Eric Johnson has expressed his pleasure in the way the writers handled Whitney’s departure, by giving the character the exit of a hero. Johnson auditioned for the roles of Lex and Clark, before finally being cast as Whitney Fordman. John Glover as Lionel Luthor Lionel initially sends his son to Smallville to run the local fertilizer plant, as a test. When Lex succeeds in making a profit for the first time in years, Lionel closes the plant down completely and blames it on Lex’s poor managerial skills. As the series progresses, Lionel becomes interested in the Kawatche caves, which have Kryptonian symbols painted on their walls; his interests also extend to the secrets Clark keeps. After being possessed by Jor-El in the season five episode “Hidden”, Lionel begins assisting Clark in keeping his secret hidden from Lex. In season seven, Lionel is murdered by Lex, who realizes that his father has been covering up the truth about an alien visitor. Jensen Ackles as Jason Teague He’s the love interest for Lana in season four. He follows Lana to Smallville, from Paris, France, and takes a position as the school’s assistant football coach. He was fired from the school when his relationship with Lana came to light. By the end of the season, it is revealed that he has been working with his mother to track the three Kryptonian stones of knowledge. Ackles received top billing for season four and was contracted to remain through season five, but was written out of the show in season four’s finale due to his commitments to Supernatural. Erica Durance as Lois Lane Erica Durance first appears in season four as Chloe’s cousin, Lois Lane. Lois comes to Smallville investigating the supposed death of Chloe, staying with the Kents while she is in town. In season five’s “Fanatic”, Lois takes a job as Jonathan’s Chief of Staff when he runs for state senate; she continues these duties when Martha takes Jonathan’s place following his death. After some reservation, Lois decides that she is interested in journalism and takes a job at a tabloid newspaper called The Inquisitor. This eventually lands her a position at the Daily Planet. Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen Chloe’s photographer boyfriend; he also works at the Daily Planet. Ashmore was a recurring guest for season six but became a regular cast member in season seven. Ashmore indicates that his casting was both a surprise and what he wanted. The actor states, “I auditioned for and I put myself on tape. I hadn’t heard anything, and a couple of weeks later, all of the sudden, I got the call saying, ‘You’re going to Vancouver to start shooting Smallville.’ It’s a dream come true, really.” Laura Vandervoort as Kara Kent Clark’s Kryptonian cousin. She was sent to look after Kal-El (Clark), but was stuck in suspended animation for eighteen years. When the dam confining her ship broke in the season six finale, “Phantom”, she was set free. She has all of Clark’s abilities, including the ability to fly. At the end of the seventh season, Kara is shown to be trapped in the Phantom Zone. Vandervoort was not brought back as a series regular for the eighth season, but she did do a guest appearance to wrap up her storyline in season eight’s “Bloodline”. Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen The CEO of Queen Industries and leader of a small group of superheroes. Hartley was a recurring guest in the sixth and seventh seasons but becomes a series regular in season eight. Hartley was the producers first choice to play Oliver Queen; he is designed to shake up the lives of both Clark and Lois, as well as provide Clark with an alternate view of how to fight crime. Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer Lex’s handpicked successor to being CEO of LuthorCorp in season eight. The name “Tess Mercer” is a homage to two characters from Superman lore, Eve Teschmacher and Mercy Graves. As Freeman describes her character, Tess Mercer is Lex’s handpicked successor; she is “fierce”, “fun” and intelligent. Tess Mercer’s primary goal for this season will be finding Lex, which will draw her inquisitively to Clark, whom she believes will be able to help her find Lex. Darren Swimmer revealed that Tess will develop a romantic interest in Clark as well. Sam Witwer as Davis Bloome Davis Bloome in season eight. He is a “charismatic” paramedic struggling with a darkness inside of him. Davis Bloome will actually be Smallville’s interpretation of Doomsday, the only character to have succeeded at killing Superman. Witwer explained that over the course of the season, his character will come to resemble that of the comic book counterpart he is based on. Brian Peterson explained that the new executive producers were looking for a villainous character that was “as great as Lex”, with Michael Rosenbaum’s departure, and Doomsday fit what they were looking for.

“I think creatively, we’ve been happy with the show. And it’s gotten to the point where Friday nights have improved for us, so it looks good. But we don’t know, because it’s really too early. It’s January and we don’t have to make these decisions until May. But it’s increased our adult 18-34 and it certainly has increased our men 18-34 on Friday nights. Creatively, I think it’s been in a good place. I think Tom [Welling]’s still having a good time with it. I think he’s enthusiastic about it. So, we’ll see where we are a few months from now.”

 

She went to say: “Clearly, we’re going to have a great season finale, as we would for any year, and whether or not it will be a show finale, we don’t know yet. We haven’t really talked about it, because they’re not that far along yet in the storylines, but I think it will be a good season finale for sure. And if the show doesn’t come back, I think it will be a sort of really last minute decision, because either development [for new series] was great or the show wasn’t doing as well on Friday nights. But we still have a whole half a season to go before we have to determine that.”
