- Chloe Sullivan: So, what do we do now? I mean, we can't just forget about everything that's happened.
- Clark Kent: Well... you have to understand that there are some things about me that'll never add up.
- Chloe Sullivan: I know that.
- Clark Kent: Are you willing to stop digging?
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah. I mean, I figure you'll just... tell me when you think it's right.
- Clark Kent: I'll see you tomorrow.
- Chloe Sullivan: You know, with all the stuff with Molly, I just... there's a part of me that... feels like maybe I deserve it.
- Clark Kent: No, Chloe...
- Chloe Sullivan: No, like it was my penance, you know? For what I did to you.
- Clark Kent: You can't take all the blame. You went to Lionel because I pushed you away. It seems to be one of my hidden talents lately.
- Chloe Sullivan: It's not so hidden. You know, I... I never set out to investigate you, Clark. It just... it was so flattering that someone like that would be interested in my work.
- Clark Kent: Made you feel like you mattered.
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah. And then Lionel, like, set my dream out right in front of me and I just... I don't know, I gave in to all of my worst instincts.
- Clark Kent: No, Chloe... he caught you at a weak moment. We all have them. When you found me in mine in Metropolis, you didn't turn your back on me. You gave me a second chance, and I at least owe you the same.
- Chloe Sullivan: I'd like that.
- Lex Luthor: I was looking for the, uh... on-call tech guy.
- Molly Griggs: Well, you found her.
- Lex Luthor: You... you work in the tech department?
- Molly Griggs: Would you rather have a PlayStation addicted dork wearing a "Star Wars" t-shirt?
- Pete Ross: Welcome to the "Torch" unplugged.
- Chloe Sullivan: Pete, what happened to my computers?
- Pete Ross: A bunch of delivery men stopped by this afternoon. LuthorCorp took the computers back.
- Chloe Sullivan: But they were donated.
- Pete Ross: Yeah, well, I guess the Grinch changed his mind.
- Chloe Sullivan: Blacklisted before I even graduate. That's gotta be a record.
- Max Taylor: I don't know who you ticked off around here, but you sure ruffled some feathers.
- Chloe Sullivan: I have enemies in high places.
- Clark Kent: Just before this, did you get any weird e-mails?
- Lana Lang: Let me check. I did. Uh, but I don't remember opening it.
- Clark Kent: It sounds like the same thing happened to both of us. It's like we were being hypnotized.
- Adam Knight: It could be a subliminal message.
- Chloe Sullivan: Something could have been hidden in the binary codes.
- Lana Lang: How... how did I get snapped out of it?
- Chloe Sullivan: Right now, I'm a little bit more concerned with what triggered the "kill Chloe" impulse in the first place.
- [last lines]
- Lex Luthor: Chloe's article is a real page-turner. Almost worth killing over. Wouldn't you say, doctor?
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: What do you want, Lex?
- Lex Luthor: Your help. A few months ago, I had an unfortunate session of electroshock therapy that basically erased seven weeks of my life. I want those seven weeks back.
- Max Taylor: Seriously, if there's anything I can ever do...
- Chloe Sullivan: [offering him a computer disk] Actually, um... it's just a few stories I've been working on. I would love for you to take a look at them.
- Max Taylor: Chloe, I couldn't print your name in the classifieds right now without catching hell.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, what about a pseudonym?
- [scribbling down a note]
- Chloe Sullivan: She's my cousin. She won't mind at all. She's not interested in journalism.
- Max Taylor: [reading the note] Lois Lane?
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: Mr. Luthor. I should have known when young Clark stopped by that you wouldn't be far behind.
- Lex Luthor: Any more attempts on Chloe Sullivan's life would be... ill advised.
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: Molly seems to have vanished into thin air. I don't suppose you'd know anything about that.
- Lex Luthor: Molly's in the care of people who should be able to help her, not exploit her.
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: Lex, you're a smart man. You know the line has to be bent now and then in order to make progress.
- Lex Luthor: I believe there's a difference between bent and broken.
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: You've never been so close to making a discovery that you'd be willing to do almost anything to see it through? My work could change the way that the world views intelligence. Thought.
- Lex Luthor: I don't think your research is worth the cost of innocent lives.
- Dr. Lawrence Garner: And I don't think I have time for a morality lesson. Excuse me.
