Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Martha Kent : How many times has he asked to be treated like an adult? This decision took a lot of maturity.

  Jonathan Kent : Or guilt. Martha, Clark still feels responsible for my heart problems. I'm not gonna allow him to do this out of pity.

  Martha Kent : It's not pity, Jonathan! Clark knows that if he leaves, he can only come back a few times a year, and he doesn't want one of those times to be your funeral.

• Jonathan Kent : Do you mind telling me why you have a financial aid packet to Central Kansas?

  Clark Kent : That's where I'm going to college.

  Jonathan Kent : What happened to Met U? What happened to Ohio? What happened to Miami?

  Clark Kent : I thought I'd stay closer to home.

  Martha Kent : Clark, I know starting all over with new friends in a new city can seem a little overwhelming, but... you can't let that hold you back.

  Jonathan Kent : This is one of the most important decisions you're gonna make in your entire life.

  Clark Kent : You don't think I know that?

  Jonathan Kent : Does Lana happen to be going to Central Kansas?

  Clark Kent : I don't know where Lana's going to school, so no, this is not about Lana.

  Jonathan Kent : Oh, then it's about us. You don't think I can run this farm without your help.

  Clark Kent : This is where I'm needed.

  Jonathan Kent : Clark, your destiny lies far beyond those corn fields out there, and I'm not about to let you turn your back on that just because of us.

• Martha Kent : You can't take the place of Clark on this farm. No one can. Every other farm in the county has at least five hands to help out.

  Jonathan Kent : Sweetheart, my family managed to run this farm for generations before Clark came around. I see no reason why I can't run it by myself.

  Martha Kent : Sometimes I wonder which one of you is more stubborn.
