- Jonathan Kent: You did everything you could, Clark.
- Martha Kent: I'm sure Evan knew that.
- Clark Kent: All the times that I've run off or disappeared, or almost died, how did you guys deal with that?
- Jonathan Kent: Well, it isn't easy, Clark, but it comes with the territory. You see, every parent's greatest fear is that one day, they will lose their child forever.
- Clark Kent: Seems like raising a kid's the toughest job in the world.
- Martha Kent: It's also the most rewarding.
- Jonathan Kent: There is nothing quite like watching your son grow up into a young man you can be proud of.
- Clark Kent: It's too bad I'll never know what that's like.
- Martha Kent: Why not?
- Clark Kent: I'm from another planet. I'm not even human. Who knows if I can have kids?
- Martha Kent: Clark... your father and I could have children. We were still blessed with a son. You never know what the future will bring you.
- Evan Gallagher - Age 16: I'm glad it was you and Lana that found me.
- Clark Kent: I think you found us.
- Chloe Sullivan: I found an arrowhead in Evans Field once, but never a baby in a crater.
- Lana Lang: It's really weird. But what's even weirder is the way Clark is with him.
- Chloe Sullivan: Let me guess, he's completely babyphobic.
- Lana Lang: Actually, exactly the opposite. You should see the look in his eyes when he's holding that baby. It's like he's completely at ease. Not to mention he's a natural born baby burper.
- Clark Kent: [entering] I've got the spit-up stains to prove it.
- Lana Lang: Clark, things like this don't just happen. There's a reason he survived and that someone like you found him.
- Clark Kent: We found him.
- Lana Lang: [flipping through "The Velveteen Rabbit"] This was his favorite book.
- Clark Kent: Really?
- Lana Lang: Yeah.
- Clark Kent: It was my favorite book when I was a kid. I, um... I used to pretend that I was the rabbit. That I was just like him, and my parents had brought me to life with their love.
- Lana Lang: My only hope is that Evan felt that way about us.
