- Victoria Hardwick: It was just business!
- Lex: You call sleeping with me business? I'd hate to think what that makes you.
- Victoria Hardwick: [she slaps him] We could have been great together.
- Lex: I plan on being great all by myself.
- [after losing his abilities]
- Clark Kent: You don't feel any differently about me now do you?
- Martha Kent: Clark, you're our son whether you can bench-press the tractor or not.
- Pete Ross: He's been acting weird lately.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, okay, Clark's always acting weird, why don't you give me a gauge?
- Clark Kent: I hope all this attention doesn't go to his head. He needs to be careful.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, you know what, Clark? The second you start throwing people thirty feet, I'll write nice things about you, too.
- Lex Luthor: Listen, I had no right to question your honesty. All I can do is plead temporary insanity and hope we can find a way to put this behind us.
- Clark Kent: Only temporary?
- Jonathan Kent: Clark, your gifts are... well, they're part of you, but they don't define you.
- Clark Kent: I know. But they complicate all of our lives.
- Jonathan Kent: Seeing how destructive Eric got, it just reminds me of how special you really are.
- Clark Kent: That's because Eric didn't get my two strongest gifts. You and mom.
- Clark Kent: [after working on the farm as a 'normal' human] Hey, dad?
- Jonathan Kent: Yeah?
- Clark Kent: How do you find the strength to do this every day?
- Jonathan Kent: Years of practice.
- Jonathan Kent: I stopped by to see Eric's parents this morning.
- Clark Kent: How are they?
- Jonathan Kent: They're scared, Clark.
- Clark Kent: Were you ever scared of me?
- Jonathan Kent: Well, you threw a few temper tantrums when you were little; we had some holes in the walls, but... nah. You're a good kid, Clark.
- Clark Kent: I don't think Eric's a bad kid.
- Jonathan Kent: Oh, neither do I. He's just a teenager who's in way over his head, that's all.
- Jonathan Kent: You know what they say: lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Look, my guess is that your powers aren't coming back.
- Clark Kent: Maybe being normal won't be so bad; I mean it works for you and Mom.
- Martha Kent: Oh, thanks.
- Lionel Luthor: [after Lionel takes credit for Lex's takeover] That's what happens when you trust your family, Lex. I'm proud of you.
- Lex Luthor: [sarcastically] Thanks, Dad. That means a lot coming from you.
