Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Look, this may be hard for you to understand considering everything that's happened to you in this world. You taught me so much. You taught me to be fair and honest. You taught me the only person in control of your destiny...

  Jonathan Kent : Is you.

  Clark Kent : You were the man that I tried to live up to. You didn't have powers, and you didn't have a destiny to save the world, but you were my hero. And I lost you.

• Jonathan Kent : You don't even know me. I'm just an obsessed man hanging onto a place as if memories could make up a lifetime.

  Clark Kent : This place isn't your home. Martha is. It's not the place, it's the people in it. And Martha's still here. You still have a chance. It's better to risk everything than hold onto nothing.

  Jonathan Kent : Who told you that?

  Clark Kent : You did.

• Jonathan Kent : Hey, put the gun down!

  Clark Kent : This was grandpa's.

  Jonathan Kent : How'd you know it was up there?

  Clark Kent : You kept it close for when the coyotes came in the livestock.

• Clark Kent : Have you been living here?

  Jonathan Kent : It's all I've got.

  Clark Kent : It hasn't been yours for years. You've been out here, alone, hanging on...

  Jonathan Kent : Hanging on to my land, hanging on to my birthright. You see, nobody has any idea what fell out of that meteor shower but me. Gold. I found a chunk of it once.

  Clark Kent : Gold meteor rock?

  Jonathan Kent : That's right. And I thought maybe if I kept digging, I would find enough that I could finally buy my farm back. But now, I'm thinking maybe I already have something that's more valuable. You.

• Jonathan Kent : The most wanted man in the entire world is hogtied right here in my living room. You're my ticket out of this. You see, with the reward money I get for you, I can get the deed to my farm back, and I can finally start living my life again.

  Clark Kent : [quietly]  Mom.

  [raising his voice] 

  Clark Kent : What about mom? Martha. What does any of this mean without her?

  Jonathan Kent : What the hell do you know about Martha?

  Clark Kent : She's supposed to be your wife. She's the reason you fought so hard for all of this.

  Jonathan Kent : Why the hell would I fight for somebody who gave up on me the minute I needed her the most?

  Clark Kent : From what I'm seeing, it looks like you gave up on yourself first. You always said that you're nothing without her.
