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.

• Clark Kent : What happened that was so bad? I mean, it can't be any worse than what's in the storm cellar. Can it?

  Jonathan Kent : When your mother and I decided to get married, I went down to his office to ask him for her hand.

  Clark Kent : What'd he say?

  Jonathan Kent : I remember his exact words. "I will not let my daughter throw her life away by marrying some hick farmer that couldn't possibly support her."

  Clark Kent : Whoa. That's harsh.

  Martha Kent : He was a corporate lawyer. That's the way he dealt with people.

  Jonathan Kent : When he realized that we were serious about getting married, he... he lost it. He... tried to shove me out of his office.

  Clark Kent : What happened?

  Jonathan Kent : I hit him. I'm not proud of that; I tried to apologize to him, but he wouldn't have anything to do with it. Your grandfather and I haven't said a word to each other since.

  Clark Kent : That was twenty years ago. He was willing to drive all the way out here. Maybe he wants to try again.

  Jonathan Kent : Believe me, Clark, he's not here to help. He's here to gloat.
