Allison Mack: Chloe Sullivan

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : When will Watchtower be up and running?

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, I can't exactly call the Geek Squad, Clark. And I haven't really had much time to...

  Clark Kent : I've seen you overhaul Watchtower in one night, Chloe. What's the holdup?

  Chloe Sullivan : Watchtower's ready to go. I'm not. Clark, I found that footage of Jor-El and the Book of Rao months ago.

  Clark Kent : Why didn't you tell me?

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm sorry. You know, I got tangled in my own little world-wide web and I just lost track of what was important. Clark, when you disappeared from my life, I retracted into Watchtower. And as I became Big Brother, I... I guess more like Big Sister. It's easy to think that having all the information is the same as having all the answers. But I can't be the eye in the sky anymore, Clark. And now that I have Ollie, I... I wanna plug in to the real world. Virtual reality bites.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, what you've created here... It's bigger than both of us. It'll go on to serve future generations.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm not the hero here.

  Clark Kent : You may not be saving people from train wrecks, Chloe, or shootouts, but you are just as much of a hero as the rest of us. We're on the brink of war, Chloe, and the world needs you. I need you.

  [There is a pause while Chloe looks touched and thankful for Clark's words. Then she pulls out a remote and pushes the button on it, and everything in Watchtower is back to normal] 

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark, I just want you to know that even when I hurt you, I was trying to protect you.

• Chloe Sullivan : I'm picking up a lot of high-level chatter. There's some big meet and greet going down, and the top of the guest list is Lois Lane and Perry White.

  Clark Kent : Who's hosting?

  Chloe Sullivan : Our pal the Red Queen.

  Clark Kent : Vala thinks the Red Queen is Tess' new handle.

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark, if this is Tess gone rogue, then Lois and Perry and about to get buried. And I don't mean on page ten.

• Chloe Sullivan : Listen, Clark, the Kandorians are still MIA.

  Clark Kent : What about the Book of Rao? I've searched the entire farm. It's not here.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, well, lucky for us, my mini Watchtower that could is actually pulling off a monster wide web search. So if there's any mention of the Book of Rao anywhere...

  [a calling card for the Red Queen appears] 

  Chloe Sullivan : Bad news, Clark. It looks like I just got a Red Queen virtual smackdown.

  Clark Kent : Red Queen? Chloe, that sounds like Checkmate.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, well, despite her handle, the Red Queen isn't actually a figure on Checkmate's board. In fact, the rumor has it that her name has been filed under "big bad nemesis".

  Clark Kent : I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm, uh, sort of held hostage here until after my mom's family dinner.

• Clark Kent : Chloe, the Book of Rao isn't here. I know you just came across that footage, but there's gotta be something more on it.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm looking at it now, Clark. Jor-El put it in the north wall. I wish I could give you more, but thanks to Tess' little break-in, Watchtower can barely run a game of "Donkey Kong", let alone an image-enhancement program.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, if that book really holds unlimited power, then we need to find it.

  Chloe Sullivan : You know, Clark, this could explain why our favorite alien nation has gone AWOL. I mean, maybe Zod and the Kandorians are trying to track down the holy Rao grail before we do.
