Quotes 

• William Clark : Whatever problems we have, they're between us. Martha said you need help. I'm here to give it.

  Jonathan Kent : So I haven't seen you for twenty years, and all of a sudden you want to be part of this family?

  William Clark : I don't want anything from you. I brought a check because I won't stand by and watch my daughter suffer.

  Jonathan Kent : You just couldn't resist turning that old knife, could you?

• William Clark : I knew Martha was making the biggest mistake of her life when she married you.

  Clark Kent : That's not true, granddad.

  William Clark : You're gonna have to swallow your pride if you're gonna save this farm, Jonathan.

  Jonathan Kent : I don't need a lecture from you on how to take care of my family, thank you.

  William Clark : You're just as stubborn and pig-headed as you were the day I met you.

• William Clark : I was surprised to get your message. Must have taken a lot for Jonathan to ask for my help.

  Martha Kent : Jonathan is at the co-op in Granville. He doesn't know I called.

  William Clark : Oh. I should have known. Well, I imagine this place differently. But it's not the life I wanted for you, Martha.

  Martha Kent : I'm happy, dad. It's a good life.

  William Clark : For some people, maybe. But you had so much potential. Top ten in your class, you could have gone to any law school you wanted. I'd hoped that one day you'd take over my practice.

  Martha Kent : I never wanted to be a lawyer. This is the life I chose.

  William Clark : This is the life Jonathan chose for you. You just went along for the ride.

  Martha Kent : This isn't about Jonathan! You raised an independent daughter, and you're angry because that's what you got.

  William Clark : And here you are, twenty years later, going behind your husband's back asking me for money.
