Quotes 

• Davis Bloome : I want this to end. I can't live with myself.

  Clark Kent : But it's not your fault. Everything's that happened to you, is because of me, all right. We should have been brothers. Davis, you didn't have a home. If that would have happened to me... I've always wondered what it have been like if the Luthors had found me in that field. I could have turned out differently.

  Davis Bloome : But you didn't. You were destined to have the better life. No matter how hard we try to fight it, we will always return to our true nature. Chloe, pull the lever! Let me end this!

  Clark Kent : No, Chloe, you have to give this another chance. This is not set in stone.

  Davis Bloome : Enough, Clark. You know that you should let me die.

  Clark Kent : Davis, there has to be something in your life - something that is worth giving it one more try.

  Davis Bloome : It isn't always about where your heart is. It's about what you've done and what you're going to do. I was sent here to destroy you, Clark.

• Chloe Sullivan : [about Davis]  He could have killed you, Clark. I won't risk the safety of the world because of your code of ethics... because you refuse to stop the things that threaten you.

  Clark Kent : Jor-El said he was the ultimate destroyer. Didn't turn to be much of a fight.

• Clark Kent : I'm not some problem to be solved.

  Tess Mercer : I get it. It's too early. Just know I'll wait for you, Clark. I'll wait for you to come to me.

  Clark Kent : It's gonna be a long wait.

  Tess Mercer : [Clark walks off]  It'll be shorter than you think, Kal-El.

• Tess Mercer : According to the Kawatche Indians, this boy is part of a two-headed creature - good and evil. The Luthors were too busy feuding over which one of them was worth enough to be your adversary that they couldn't see the truth... that there was another boy who came to Earth with you. Davis Bloome.

  Clark Kent : [chuckles]  So you think that Davis Bloome and I are from another planet?

  Tess Mercer : Lionel found Davis on the day of the meteor shower. He thought he was the Traveler, but then the boy's tests seemed normal.

  Clark Kent : So, Lionel was holding Davis.

  Tess Mercer : Only for five days. Then he threw the boy out onto the street because he got a phone call from Martha Kent.

  Clark Kent : [chuckles]  Tess, you are reaching.

  Tess Mercer : Am I? It's Lionel's own words, and I quote - "I have the wrong boy, but I believe that I have found the true Traveler." Why else would Lionel Luthor arrange an adoption for a boy who seemed to come out of nowhere? It looks like you're the reason Davis was abandoned in the first place.

• Tess Mercer : I have this feeling that you'll never fulfill your great destiny until you meet your greatest challenge.

  Clark Kent : You don't know anything about my life.

  Tess Mercer : If this is the way that you lied to Lex, then I can see how it pushed him over the edge.

  Clark Kent : Lex was racing toward that drop-off way before he met me.

  Tess Mercer : Yeah, but betrayal... you know, the more you love someone, the harder it is.

  Clark Kent : Are you threatening me?

  Tess Mercer : I'm not that naïve.

• Clark Kent : I think I'm finally ready for the front page.

  Tess Mercer : An article.

  Clark Kent : Found a stack of missing persons cases that no one's talking about. There are similarities between them all. This city is being attacked and no one seems to care.

  Tess Mercer : Kind of makes you wish the Red-Blue Blur wasn't sitting down on the job.

• Tess Mercer : I can't print this.

  Clark Kent : You need to print it.

  Tess Mercer : No, they're called facts, Clark, and you don't have any.

  Clark Kent : You don't care about these victims?

  [realizing] 

  Clark Kent : You're sweeping this under the rug.

  Tess Mercer : Great. Another conspiracy theory, 'cause I love those. Look closely. You will not find a web of lies behind this façade. That would be your department.

• Chloe Sullivan : I can't believe this. There were over a dozen missing persons last month alone.

  Clark Kent : You'd think it'd be newsworthy.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, since when did newsworthy have anything to do with what was on the front page?

• Chloe Sullivan : You know, Clark, I really hope you have the safety cocked on your heat vision.

  Clark Kent : What?

  Chloe Sullivan : You've been staring at the back of my head so hard, I'm afraid my hair's gonna go up in flames.

• Clark Kent : It's weird that Davis would have stopped here.

  Chloe Sullivan : Why? What's here?

  Clark Kent : This is the field where my ship landed.

  Chloe Sullivan : That's a pretty big coincidence pill to swallow.

• Tess Mercer : The new contemplative Clark Kent. I like it.

  Clark Kent : I'm kind of busy.

  Tess Mercer : With what? Farm chores? I'd let you off if you were saving a busload of children, but... cleaning the feeding bin?

  Clark Kent : I'm really sorry that you bought into this strange obsession that the Luthors had for me, but...

  Tess Mercer : I don't think of it as buying it. I think of it as believing.

  Clark Kent : If you choose to spend your Saturday nights reading the journal of a madman, sounds to me like you have a few holes in your personal life.

  Tess Mercer : We all look to idols. Religion, the rich and the famous, because we have holes in our lives. But it doesn't mean that these things aren't real.

  Clark Kent : What you've made me out to be is not real. I'll never be that man.

  Tess Mercer : Not until Judas is at your back.

• Clark Kent : We need to talk about what happened

  Chloe Sullivan : It wouldn't change what I did.

  Clark Kent : But there's always another way.

• Clark Kent : How you holding up?

  Chloe Sullivan : I've had better days. Not saying a lot in Smallville.

• Clark Kent : The guy blacks out regularly, and you chose not to mention it?

  Chloe Sullivan : I figured he had low blood sugar or something.

  Clark Kent : He told you he was hiding something dark inside, Chloe. That didn't set off any alarms for you?

  Chloe Sullivan : You know what? I figured "dark" meant moody or bipolar, at worst. I don't exactly jump right to "serial killer".
