9.01 Savior

Chloe Sullivan: “Ollie, Dinah, Bart… they just vanished off the grid…”
Dr. Hamilton: “They don’t want to be found.”

___

Jor-El: “Kal-El, my son. You are distracted. When you decided to return to your training, I assumed you were ready.”
Clark Kent: “I’ve been coming here for weeks. I’ve done everything you asked, why are you questioning me now?”
Jor-El: “Until today you had focus. You had cleared your mind and heart of those who had kept you tethered to the human relm.”
Clark Kent: “If theres anything that’s keeping me tethered, it’s that I still can’t fly. Have I not earned the same powers that Kara has?”
Jor-El: “Your powers lie within you Kal-El. Your physical composition is no different then your cousins.
Clark Kent: “Are you saying it’s all in my head?”
Jor-El: “You still see yourself as a human.”
Clark Kent: “Your wrong. I gave up everyone I cared about. I gave up everyone who was important to me. I wear the symbol of our family everyday to remind me that I have a different destiny.”
Jor-El: “Perhaps you tried to move on too quickly. The test of a true hero is to struggle with feelings of loss and overcome them, not to avoid them. Something or someone is holding you back.
Clark Kent: “No, I’ve come this far and I’m not looking back. I can do this.”

____

Lois Lane: “How did you manage to ditch Davis?”
Chloe Sullivan: “I didn’t exactly ditch Davis. Lo…”
Lois Lane: “It was the Red-Blue Blur wasn’t it? I knew it. He promised me he’d save you and he did. That means he’s still alive. The train…he saved the train too, didn’t he?”
Chloe Sullivan: “You’ve been talking to the Blur?”
Lois Lane: “Yes…he sort of confides in me.”
Chloe Sullivan: [hurt] “Of course he does.”

___

Clark Kent: “Isn’t it time to move beyond these mental trials?”
Jor-El: “You’re determination is strong, my son. But just as your passion will be your greatest strength, so too, will it be your greatest obstacle.”
Clark Kent: “Jimmy died because of me and I can’t afford to let another mistake like that happen. You sent me here to fulfill a destiny. Tell me what you need from me.”
Jor-El: “Kal-El, you do not need me to tell you what is standing in your way, you already know. And you know what you need to do.”
Clark Kent: “I have to say good-bye to her.”

___

Fiona: “Major, the woman isn’t an ally. She’s hiding something.”
Major Zod: “And you think I am too.”
Fiona: “Why don’t we have the powers we should have under yellow sun?”
Major Zod: “My authority is being questioned by two boding cadets.”
Fiona: “We deserve to know what happened to us. How did we get here?”
Major Zod: “That is enough!”
Fiona: “Does anybody know we’re here?”
Major Zod: “Salute. Kneel! Kneel before Zod!”[Ref knocks Zod out]

___

John Corben: “The infamous Blur. You know the ends don’t always justify the means.”
Lois Lane: “You might want to stick to your night job detective. Graffiti’s not exactly the Red-Blue Blur’s style.”
John Corben: “You’re right. It never used to be back when the guy was happy pulling off a few modest saves, but then suddenly there was no red or blue, it was just the Blur. And now he feels the need to leave his mark all over the city to…I don’t know…prove something.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “I was lucky to be a part of your life for a little while, but we both know that you’d have to move on one day.”
Clark Kent:“I started the training Jor-El always planned for me. With everything I’ve learned, and he showed me…my old life seems very far away.”
Chloe Sullivan: “You’re doing the right thing Clark. You can’t look back.”
Clark Kent: “It’s the only way I can stay focused…stay objective. By letting go of everyone I care about, by cutting every attachment that may influence the choices that I have to make.”
Chloe Sullivan: “So what part of that involves skulking around a phone booth looking for Lois?”
Clark Kent: “It’s not like that. Yes, I came back to find her, but only to say good-bye.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Well let’s hope you still have a chance. I think Lois found your lucky charm and hitch-hiked to the future.”
Clark Kent: “She…”
Chloe Sullivan: “She’s fine. She doesn’t remember anything but she didn’t come back alone. And it looks like her excess baggage maybe trying to kill her.”

___

Clark Kent: “You followed Lois from the future to come after me, why?”
Alia: “Because you betrayed us.”

___

Oliver Queen: “Look Lois, when are you going to learn, okay. I’m nothing more than a shallow playboy. I’ve got the tabloid covers to prove it.”
Lois Lane: “Then how do you explain the whole Green Arrow thing?”
Oliver Queen: “You know the hero thing kind of distracted me for a little while. So did you.”
Lois Lane: “You’re an obnoxious jackass.”

___

Major Zod: “I have always been true to my word. And I will find the answers we are looking for, or I will die in the quest.”

___

Clark Kent: “I’m not a God! And the last time that I tried to rewrite fate, my own father died. He died right here in my arms because of me.”
Chloe Sullivan: [crying] “I’ve given up so much for you Clark. This is the only thing I’ve ever asked from you. Please…please do this for me. Please save Jimmy.”
Clark Kent: “I can’t.”
Chloe Sullivan: “It’s good…[clears throat] It’s good that you’re embracing your Kryptonian side. There isn’t really anything human left in you.”

___

Lois Lane: [answers phone] “Hello?”
Clark Kent: “Lois”
Lois Lane: [smiles] “Thank you for saving me out there. I was afraid you disappeared for good.”
Clark Kent: “I should have. I’m supposed to. But I can’t. Promise me this is just between us.”
Lois Lane: “I promise.”

9.02 Metallo

Lois Lane: “Shelby…hey. Don’t tell me Clark’s ditched you too. Hmmm. I know, Smallville isn’t the same without Smallville, is it?”

___

John Corben: “Your favorite freak’s been at it again, and this time the story is mine.”
Lois Lane: “Take it sticky fingers, there are plenty of headlines to go around.”
John Corben: “Oh my goodness. Never thought you’d be willing to share the Blur, Lois. We should celebrate over coffee. Your place, or mine?”
Lois Lane: “Or neither. Besides, I’m not exactly being generous. You know the Blur catches more bad guys before breakfast than most cops do in a day.”
John Corben: “Well that’s the problem. He’s not a cop, he’s a vigilante with super powers and a thing for the letter “S”.

___

Chloe Sullivan: “Uh, Lois. Why is Clark’s dog welcoming me home?”
Lois Lane: “Oh, I dropped by the farm yesterday and I found Shelby all alone with her Wheaties. I thought Clark secretly came back and didn’t tell us.”
Chloe Sullivan: “So you decided to call him out by dogknapping his furry friend? Lois, I’m sorry. I’m the one that was on pooch-patrol. Clark still isn’t back yet.”
Lois Lane: “I know. I called Mrs. K and she said he’s visiting cousins in Poughkeepsie. I mean, how long can you stay in Poughkeepsie?”
Chloe Sullivan: “It sounds like someone misses him.”
Lois Lane: “Please, I don’t miss Clark. I just can’t stand the new guy that’s at his desk. He’s a textbook hero-hater. Oh come on…who hates the Blur? Anyone who reads can see how great he is.”
Chloe Sullivan: “It looks like he really is spreading his wings, doesn’t it?”
Lois Lane: “Yeah, I just hope he’s not spreading himself too thin, I mean…he sounds a little lonely. I can hear it in his voice.”
Chloe Sullivan: “His voice? Did he call you again?”
Lois Lane: “Well, I am his one and only contact at the paper.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “Clark, what if I was Lois? She would take one look at you and realize that Clark Kent is the Blur.”
Clark Kent: ” I told you, there is no Clark Kent.”
Chloe Sullivan: “No disrespect to your Kryptonian calling but…coming back to feed the dog is about as human as it gets. Are you still reaching out to Lois as the Blur?”
Clark Kent: “She told you?”
Chloe Sullivan: “You’re supposed to be training with Jor-El. Does he know your still talking to her?”
Clark Kent: “Jor-El doesn’t need to know.”
Chloe Sullivan: “So you’re lying to him. You say your turning your back on all of your human attachments Clark, but apparently only when it suits you.”
Clark Kent: “You’re taking this all too personally Chloe. Now I understand that your still angry about Jimmy…
Chloe Sullivan: “We both sacrificed a lot so that you could become the hero you’re meant to be. Now quit backpedaling Clark! Commit to what you started before more people get hurt.”

___

Lois Lane: “You really do care about me, don’t you?”
Clark Kent: “Lois…”
Lois Lane: “Okay, okay. I’ll just keep my eyes open, I swear. But if I do see anything, it’s not like I can call you from the bullpen.”
Clark Kent: “Then I’ll call you at our phone booth.”
Lois Lane: “You think of it as our phone booth too?”
Clark Kent: [smiles] “Just be there at 7:00.” [flips cell phone closed]
Lois Lane: [sighs]

___

Chloe Sullivan: “Clark, I wish you had come to me with this. Lois doesn’t have any experience dealing with these things.”
Clark Kent: “Things have been easy with Lois lately. Talking to her just felt right.”

___

John Corben as Metallo: “I heard you. [breathes heavily] Lois I heard you talking to him. So just tell me who the Blur is and I’ll let you go. I promise I’ll let you go.”
Lois Lane: “I already told you…I don’t know. Since when did you become a living lite-brite? What happened to you John? Huh?
John Corben as Metallo: “I’ll show you.” [removes shirt and exposes kryptonite heart]
Lois Lane: “Okay, take it easy there Chippendale. I…I think I want your shirt back on.”

___

John Corben as Metallo: “What gives you the right…to interfere with our lives…and to change our fates?!”
Clark Kent: “I’m sorry about your loss, John. What happened to your sister was tragic. But you need to control yourself. The meteor rock is causing an adrenaline rush. You’re not thinking straight.”
John Corben as Metallo: “Control myself? That’s easy for you to say. It doesn’t take much…to stay in control when you watch from the shadows. You stand apart from the world…while the rest of us live in it. Even when it breaks your heart.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “Clark.”
Clark Kent: “This view really puts things in perspective. Jimmy knew exactly what he was doing when he bought this place.”
Chloe Sullivan: “I really miss him.”
Clark Kent: “I took the easy way out Chloe. I should have been there when you needed me. I’m sorry.”
Chloe Sullivan: [chuckles] “Clark, theres nothing easy about burying everyone you love in your past.”
Clark Kent: “I’m afraid I haven’t even done a very good job of that. I’m trying to fill the void by hanging on rooftops eavesdropping on people…people who are connecting…and living. Thinking what’s the point in protecting life…if you lost you’re sense in how to live it. Maybe I can’t do this Chloe. Maybe I can’t completely stay away.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Stay away from her, you mean. Lois means something to you…something more. So does this mean Clark Kent is coming back for an encore?”
Clark Kent: “I don’t know. But I can’t let that life interfere with my training again.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Clark, lurking around building edges at midnight pining after the life you gave up isn’t exactly amping your hero performance either. You know…maybe I was naive to think you could just turn the corner and never look back. But either way, Kal-El needs his human disguise now more than ever.”

___

Lois Lane: [holding and staring at Clark's name plate]
Clark Kent: “I’m going to be needing that.”
Lois Lane: “Clark Kent, you’re back. [running to Clark and hugging him] I was beginning to think you’re family lived on some distant planet.” [still hugging Clark]
Clark Kent: “You must have really missed me.”
Lois Lane: [letting go] Uh…only because the guy that sat at your desk was a certifiable psychopath. Otherwise, I’ve been so busy, I didn’t even notice you were gone.”
Clark Kent: “Missed you too, Lois. Anything exciting happen while I was gone?”
Lois Lane: “Well, you’ll never believe it. But I helped the Blur stop a homicidal maniac.”
Clark Kent: “Really? You know I would love to hear about it.” [smiling]
Lois Lane: “Okay. Well…it all started when this guy showed up with this major grudge against the Blur. He also happens to have these bionic arms and a big glowing rock for a heart, but that’s way later on in the story.”

9.03 Rabid

Clark Kent: “Everything okay? You just seem a little off?”
Lois Lane: “The only thing I’m off is a certain Blurry butt-kicker’s to-do-list. A little over a week, and not so much as sorry I’ve been busy saving the world, but gotta run.”
Clark Kent: “I didn’t realize the two of you were actually seeing each-other now.”
Lois Lane: ” At this point it’s not really seeing so much as still looking, but girl’s gotta hope.”

___

Lois Lane: “The fire just got put out by the Blur. He is so amazing. Here you and I are just having a coffee while he’s out squelching five-alarm fires in three seconds flat.”
Clark Kent: “Two seconds. Not that anyone’s counting.”

___

Clark Kent: “Oliver. Is this your idea of fun now that you’ve hung up your bow?”
Oliver Queen: “Should have known it was you. Clark Kent, king of buzz-kill. You and your pet rock put on hell of a barbeque. But I had my money on Doomsday, so…”
Clark Kent: “You can try to play it off as a joke. But I know that the loss of Jimmy affected us both.”
Oliver Queen: “But I guess God’s got a sick sense of humor. Oh, I’m sorry…I shouldn’t be taking your name in vain.”
Clark Kent: “What, you need to hear me say it? I should have listened to you. I should have gotten rid of Davis instead of believing in him.”
Oliver Queen: “It’s a little late.”
Clark Kent: “I’m trying to make-up for what happened, not add myself to the casualty list.”
Oliver Queen: “Yeah, well I can’t get my thrills leaping tall buildings or out-running speeding bullets. We mere mortals, we have to rely on a tweaked out decati and the open road.”
Clark Kent: “You know you’re meant for more than this. This isn’t you.”
Oliver Queen: “Who are you, huh? W-What is all this? What’s the ‘S’ stand for? What is that, Super-Star?”
Clark Kent: “It gives people hope.”
Oliver Queen: “I’ll tell you what Clark. Why don’t you uh, go ahead and plaster your symbol of superiority all over the city so people can worship you like some kind of modern Jesus. That’s what you want, right? That’s why you’re here…here to save us?”
Clark Kent: “You need help.”
Oliver Queen: “Yeah, well maybe. But I hate to break it to you. Not everybody believes in the second coming.”

___

Lois Lane: “Clark, do you have any deep dark secrets?”
Clark Kent: “Do you?”
Lois Lane: [exhales sharply] “Last year when I was talking with the Red-Blue Blur. For the first time in my life I was doing something that mattered. And I wanted to work with him because we did such good things together. But then I started to realize that…I wasn’t just doing it to save people. I was doing it for me. I just wanted to be with him.”
Clark Kent: “We all have crushes, Lois. It doesn’t make you a bad person.”
Lois Lane: “You don’t understand. I had never had this connection with someone before. Now that I have this connection, I don’t want to go back to the way things were. This is embarrassing to admit. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

___

Clark Kent: “You know you have a…pretty mean left hook.”
Lois Lane: “I don’t remember any of that. But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent.”
Clark Kent: “Which side was that?”
Lois Lane: “I’ll give you a hint. It starts with ‘H’ and ends with ‘ero’.”
Clark Kent: “And I wasn’t even wearing red or blue.”
Lois Lane: “Well, you’ve got a long ways to go before you can do that. Still I think we make a pretty good team.”
Clark Kent: “Yeah, we do.”
Lois Lane: “[chuckles] ” You never did tell me your secret.”
Clark Kent: “Well…”
Lois Lane: “Relax, Smallville. Keep the mystery. You need to work every last drop of it you got.”

9.04 Echo

Lois Lane: “Clark, did I miss him?”
Clark Kent: “By him, you mean me, barely.”
Lois Lane: “Not you, the Blur.”
Clark Kent: “He was long gone by the time I got here. I was just trying to call you.”
Lois Lane: “From a payphone?”
Clark Kent: “Apparently.”
Lois Lane: “How did you get here so fast anyway? My guy at Met P.D. didn’t leak this until a few minutes ago.”
Clark Kent: “We all can’t be as fashionably late as Lois Lane.”
Lois Lane: (falls back, Clark catches her, while Lois touches and admires Clark’s biceps) (thinking) “Hellooo Sailor.”
Clark Kent: “What did you say?”
Lois Lane: “Nothing. You should get your hearing checked. (thinking) “Hot Stuff.”
Clark Kent: (Looking at Lois confused)

___

Clark Kent: “Why would the bomb be on a timer?”
Lois Lane: “I don’t know. I’m not a mind reader. Why would you take hostages and not make any demands.” (thinking) “No voicemails? No emails? Just be a big girl and get over the fact that the Blur down-graded you from confidant, to sidekick, to nobody.”

___

Clark Kent: “Jor-El. Reading people’s thoughts. You said my trials have begun, is this one of them?”
Jor-El: “I’ve planted within you the seed for this trial. Designed to self-manifest when most needed. An event must have happened to trigger it. Some kind of error or mistake in judgement.”
Clark Kent: “I don’t understand. I saved everyone in that factory.”
Jor-El: “Assumptions are flaws inherent in human instincts you have adopted. But they are beneath you. What you have yet to nurture, is your Kryptonian intuition.
Clark Kent: “You shouldn’t underestimate humans.”
Jor-El: “Neither should you. Being able to discern why humans truly behave as they do will help you to better protect them. This ability is only temporary. You must learn to focus Kal-El. Perception can be the difference between life and death.

___

Clark Kent: “Lois. I was hoping we could grab something to eat tonight once we finished up. You know, you said yourself I hadn’t eaten all day.”
Lois Lane: (thinking) “Is Clark Kent asking me out on a date? Like a date, date?”
Clark Kent: “I’m not saying we should go on a date.”
Lois Lane: (thinking) “Oh.”
Clark Kent: “Just something…like a date.”
Lois Lane: “As sweet as that notion is Smallville. This is Metropolis on a Saturday night. We ain’t getting in nowhere without a reservation. (thinking) Except maybe the truck rally downtown. But there’s no way he’d ever…”
Clark Kent: “We could probably still get tickets to the Monster Truck Rally down at the Coliseum. It doesn’t start for a few more hours.”
Lois Lane: (thinking) “Shut-up!”
Lois Lane: “I’ll meet you there. Standard protocol. Two cars at the beginning of the night. No drama at the end of it. (chuckles)

___

Clark Kent: “Lois?”
Lois Lane: “I can handle this Smallville. You’ve already done enough tonight.”
Clark Kent: “What are you doing here?”
Lois Lane: (thinking) “Standing in the shadow of 6-1/2 feet of handsome. No Lois! He doesn’t get off that easy. Kick his ass!”

___

Clark Kent: “How’d you know the pressure plate wasn’t real?”
Oliver Queen: “I didn’t”
Clark Kent: “Oliver…”
Oliver Queen: “I waited till the last person got out, Clark. I knew the explosion wouldn’t kill you.”

___

Oliver Queen: “Speak your mind Clark.”
Clark Kent: “I haven’t been paying enough attention to everything. There’s been danger all around me that I haven’t seen…warning signs I haven’t noticed…and people in need that I’ve neglected. I didn’t realize how bad things are. I haven’t been here for you, I’m sorry.”
Oliver Queen: With all due respect Clark, I’m not sure I’m worth your concern. You know when I was reading that speech in there. When I decided to, uh. That speech wasn’t just a laundry list of all my sins, it was…it was a fact sheet. Ever tell you how old I was when my parents died? 5. I never really knew them very well. Everything about my life is not really mine, it’s theirs. I didn’t earn it, and it’s all a lie. You of all people know what it’s like to wear a mask, right? That’s all this is…the Queen name…Green Arrow. Masks. And I just realized there’s nothing underneath them.”
Clark Kent: There is something behind these masks. You’re just afraid to face it. You’re not running away from who you are. You’re running away from who you think you’re becoming. But you don’t have to face it alone. Just because you’ve given up on Oliver Queen, doesn’t mean I have.”
Oliver Queen: “Thank you.”

___

Clark Kent: “Lois, I am sorry for letting you down.”
Lois Lane: “Is this an olive branch? ‘Cause there better be a whole tree somewhere here. And maybe a new pair of jeans too. You know it’s not everyday Lois Lane allows herself to be stood up.”
Clark Kent: “Well, it’s a good thing it was only…like a date.”
Lois Lane: (chuckles)
Clark Kent: “I don’t even know how someone will get a second date after messing things up like that.”
Lois Lane: “Well if people were to try that again…they might want to do it on a slower news day…hypothetically speaking.”
Clark Kent: “Well, those don’t come along very often.”
Lois Lane: “No.”
Clark Kent: “I’m sure people would make sure they got it right the next time…hypothetically speaking, of course.”
Lois Lane: “My thoughts exactly.”

9.05 Roulette

Lois Lane: “About time you got home. Shelby’s great and all, but the conversation…a little one sided.”
Clark Kent: “Shouldn’t you be riding a mechanical bull somewhere? It is Friday night.”
Lois Lane: “Correction. It’s movie night. I hope you like sharks. I’m going to start with my favorite one.”
Clark Kent: “You have your hands full with all your laundry. Maybe we should make movie night another weekend.”
Lois Lane: “It’s called multi-tasking Clark. You should try it sometime.”
Clark Kent: “I hope I have enough detergent. How do you even have anything left to wear?”
Lois Lane: “You know most guys wouldn’t complain if I suddenly found myself shirtless.”
Clark Kent: (walks to sofa and begins moving Lois’ scattered laundry off the sofa, and a red lacy bra gets caught on Clark’s hand. He lifts it up and awkwardly stares at it)
Lois Lane: “Oh, poor Clark. Here (takes bra from Clark). FYI, that did not just happen. Come on. It is called Smallville for a reason Clark. What else do you possibly have to do tonight? It’ll be fun.
Clark Kent: (hears woman screaming from a distance) “You know what we need? Is some popcorn.
Lois Lane: “Don’t forget the extra butter.”

___

Lois Lane: “Oliver tried to kill himself.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, come on.” (tries to close notebook closed)
Lois Lane: (moves Clark’s hand away and gasps when she sees Clark in video with Oliver) “And you knew. Clark, how could you keep something this serious from me?”
Clark Kent: “I was trying to protect him.”
Lois Lane: “From who? His friends?”

___

Oliver Queen: “What the hell is this?”
Roulette: “You kept asking me who did this to you. My question was always the answer. Who did you destroy? I hear you’re some kind of hero. One that tried to bury that part of himself. You’ve just proven that hero is still alive Oliver. Now it’s time to resurrect him.”

___

Oliver Queen: “Nicely played. I started asking myself who knew about Lex, about Toyman. The things I’d given up. What I tried to do. Then it all occured to me. Dinah shattered the glass in the warehouse. Bart rescued me from the car, Victor faked the computers and Watchtower kept an eye on the whole thing. Right?”
Chloe Sullivan: “You were living like you had a death wish Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were ever going to make it out alive, and I had to push you over the edge in order to pull you back.”
Oliver Queen: “Did you have to push with a 3-ton truck?”
Chloe Sullivan: “I didn’t think a tricycle would be a strong enough point. You’re a fighter Oliver. You fought for yourself and for a second chance.”
Oliver Queen: “Chloe, I’m not the only one you put at risk.”
Chloe Sullivan: “If you’re worried about our little Club and Lex, don’t be. I played my cards close to my chest.”
Oliver Queen: “And Lois was what? She was uh…another ace up your sleeve?”
Chloe Sullivan: “No, I never meant for her to get involved. She was chasing after you when she accidentally ended up storming the field. That’s when Victoria went off script.”
Oliver Queen: “I could have killed her.”
Chloe Sullivan: “No offense to your manhood, but I made sure your gun was loaded with blanks just in case. I trust you Oliver…just not…that much.
Oliver Queen: “Did Clark know about this?”
Chloe Sullivan: (chuckling) “You can’t be serious. Clark would never in a million years risk what needed to be done.”
Oliver Queen: “Well, he’s lead a different life than we have, hasn’t he? I can’t expect him to know me like you do…the places that I had sunk to. The depths you must have had to go to bring me back. Thank you.
Chloe Sullivan: “You’ve proven it to yourself. Even with your face in the gutter, you still had the hero in you’re heart.”
Oliver Queen: (grabs Chloe’s hands in his) “You saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth and the man.”

___

Clark Kent: “I heard you were back.”
Oliver Queen: “You do know of course you look absolutely ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor. Hook you up with a little color maybe.”
Clark Kent: (chuckles)
Oliver Queen: (chuckles)
Clark Kent: “Nice to see you finally discovered something worth living for afterall.”
Oliver Queen: “Yeah, more like a rediscovery, actually. You’ve done a hell of a job keeping the world safe on your own Clark. I’m here to help you now.”
Clark Kent: “Good. Something tells me soon the world will need all the help it can get.”

9.06 Crossfire

Lois Lane: “Look, I appreciate you helping me audition. I’m still angry you didn’t tell me how badly Oliver was doing, but you’re here anyway so please, don’t make me wish you weren’t.”
Clark Kent: “It’s okay Lois. You don’t need to get all worked up like you usually do.”
Lois Lane: “Well excuse me ‘Mr. I’m slow and steady and I know what’s best for everyone.’ This happens to be important to me. With newspapers on the endangered species list, news television is my one and only backup plan.
Clark Kent: “Don’t you think you can be a little less dramatic with this whole thing?”
Lois Lane: “You can be a little more passionate with this whole thing. But not you. Not mild-mannered Clark Kent. Do you even care if I get this job?”
Clark Kent: “Of course I care. I bought a new tie.”
Lois Lane: “Oh, well I bought a whole new outfit.”
Clark Kent: “Yeah, you look great.”
Lois Lane: “Don’t do that.”
Clark Kent: “Do what?”
Lois Lane: “Don’t you dare reassure me right now.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, I’m only doing this for you. How else am I going to get that second date.”
Lois Lane: “Well, you should of thought of that before you stood me up the first time.”

___

Lois Lane: “What are these?”
Clark Kent: “Release forms from KZXP. They want us to fill them out before we go on our dates.”
Lois Lane: “I have to get a date before I go on one Clark. I’m still filling out my online profile. If you want these mainframe matchmakers to pick you a winner, you really have to be careful to pick just the right words.”
Clark Kent: “I filled mine out in 10-minutes this morning.”
Lois Lane: “I guarantee that’s the only 10 you’re getting out of it.”
Clark Kent: “Well, let’s see what you wrote. All right. Under ‘likes’ you have theater. You mean ‘movie theater’.”
Lois Lane: “Details.”
Clark Kent: “Favorite drinks you have ‘bubbly’. Yeah, if it comes in a six-pack.”
Lois Lane: “Well, I do like a six-pack.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, there’s nothing on here about monster trucks. You love monster truck rallies.”
Lois Lane: “This is morning television Clark. Monster trucks are not going to guarantee me a guy who will impress the home viewers.”
Clark Kent: “Look, there are a lot of good things about you that would attract a lot of great guys.”
Lois Lane: (sighs) “Really, like what?”
Clark Kent: “Uh…well you’re Lois.”
Lois Lane: “Thanks Clark. But I already filled out my name. Good luck on your date. I’m sure you’ll sweep her off her feet.”

___

Major Zod: “By taking on this project, she is making my simple dream of harnessing the powers of the sun a reality. So here’s to Tess Mercer…our savior. I swear to you all…this tower will change the world.”

___

Mia: “I thought you said no strings attached?”
Oliver Queen: “I’m not trying to sleep with you kid. But if you think a pebble in your shoe is painful, wait till you feel what a $50,000 watch will do.”

___

Clark Kent: “The last thing you need is a drink Lois.”
Lois Lane: “Thanks Clark. You sound like my mother on prom night. (sighs) How do I look?”
Clark Kent: “If this were a prom, you’d be crowned queen. Your date’s a lucky man.”
Lois Lane: “Do I detect a note of jealousy from the notoriously nice Clark Kent? Careful my date doesn’t hear you. He might just have to take you down.”
Clark Kent: (scoffs) “I’d like to see him try.”
Lois Lane: “You know what they say…all is fair in love and war.”
Clark Kent: “What’s it going to be for us Lois…love or war?”
Lois Lane: “Clark, it sounds like your asking me out on another date.”
Clark Kent: “If I was, would you say yes?”
Lois Lane: “I’ll tell you what I’d say. (Oliver enters room) Oliver? What are you doing here?”
Oliver Queen: “Well, you wanted this television tryst to make an impression Lois.”
Lois Lane: “My blind date…is with you?”
Oliver Queen: “Well technically your blind date is leaving in the elevator.”

___

Lois Lane: “I love you Oliver…as a dear friend.  Which is why I have to be totally honest with you.”
Oliver Queen: “Clark.”
Lois Lane: “Yes.”
Oliver Queen: (clears throat) “Well, I’m happy you know what you want. I guess it just hurts knowing it’s not me.”

___

Stuart Campbell: “Greetings esteemable foe, whoever you are. Now I’m guessing since you made it this far, you probably haven’t slept, and your fingers are getting really cramped up. So I thought I’d take it upon myself to do you a really big favor and just say, give up. I can do this all day and night. I’m sure you already get the picture so…talk to the hand.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Hello hand.”

___

Clark Kent: “Lois and Oliver. Seeing him with her…it’s been a long time since he looked that happy.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Clark, just stop okay? I mean your willingness to sacrifice yourself for others is a great strength for sure, but when it comes to your own happiness, it’s definitely a weakness.”
Clark Kent: “Oliver has been through a lot lately, and we’re all friends.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Lois is not up for auction. Look for once, try not to second guess things. All you have to do is ask yourself…what do you want?”

9.07 Kandor

Major Zod: “None of you recall that tragic day…because the moment your blood was taken was the last moment you remember of Kandor. But I can assure you I have not forgotten. Each one of you…the last sons and daughters of Krypton are all that is left from our beloved homeland. And I will not allow for your birth right to be denied.

___

Chloe Sullivan: “If you raced here to see me, it must mean the ‘I love Lois Show’ is preempted this week.”
Clark Kent: “C’mon, you know I always speed over when you call. Although I may be responsible for your cousin vanishing from prime time.”
Chloe Sullivan: “I was wondering why she skipped town without saying goodbye. What’s up?”
Clark Kent: “I uh…I kissed her.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Oh yeah, that would definitely send her packing. I mean, no offense Clark, it’s just Lois’ typical response to intimacy is usually to blow out of town.”
Clark Kent: “I just don’t know what happened. I went over there to talk to her, and next thing I know I couldn’t stop myself.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Yeah, I’m not surprised Clark. You’ve had feelings for Lois since like the 1930’s. I was wondering when you were going to make your move. Look, just take my word for it and give her a little bit of space.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “We were right. Tess Mercer has teams around the globe trying to bring the E.T.’s home. Her operatives have had their noses deep in the Turkish desert sniffing around for weeks. Now, I think you should wing out there and take a peek yourself.”
Clark Kent: “Unfortunately my wings are still clipped. I’ll fly coach.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Uh…no you won’t. Oliver can get you there first class.”
Clark Kent: “I’ll do this by myself.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Why Clark? C’mon…”
Clark Kent: “Chloe…” (door opens, Oliver walks in)
Oliver Queen: “Hear you need a lift?”
Clark Kent: (exchanges a look with Chloe, sighs)

___

Oliver Queen: “You know Clark, if you wanted to bury me in the desert for going on that date with Lois, you could have at least taken me to Nevada.”
Clark Kent: “Oliver, let’s not…”
Oliver Queen: “Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to put up a fight, but we could have hit the strip before the main event…you know what I mean? Maybe a little Blue Man group…maybe a little Carrot Top. You know what I’m getting you next year for Christmas is a sense of humor.”

___

Oliver Queen: “Who put your shield out in the middle of nowhere?”
Clark Kent: (finds Jor-El’s dog tag in the desert sand) “Jor-El? My father. He’s here on earth.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “You’re Clark’s father.”
Jor-El: “You are mistaken. I have no child.”
Chloe Sullivan: “His Kryptonian name is Kal-El.” (hands Jor-El a framed picture of Clark)
Jor-El: “So this is my son (looking at Clark’s picture). What’s he doing here on earth?”
Chloe Sullivan: “Well, you sent him here as a baby. It was the only way you could save him.”

___

Jor-El: “The technology I created was intended to heal those afflicted with wars and disease. Not to resurrect the dead through cloning.”
Krypton Council: The orb will ensure that Kryton’s strongest will endure if our planet is ever destroyed.”
Jor-El: “If we send the orb to earth and it’s opened, the clones inside will develop extraordinary abilities under their yellow sun. The humans will be powerless against them. We cannot doom another planet’s future to preserve our past.”

___

Clark Kent: “I can’t believe my father’s been on earth this whole time and Jor-El didn’t tell me.”
Oliver Queen: “So…so when you say Jor-El, are we talking about the dude in your ice crystal palace thingy?”
Clark Kent: “He must have known what it would mean to me to meet my real father. To speak to an actual person, and not just some voice in the arctic. But again Jor-El kept me in the dark.”

___

Tess Mercer: “Major Zod has been turning this planet upside down looking for a man that we call the ‘Blur’. Now I let him believe that you have all the powers. Zod doesn’t even know that Kal-El exists. So you’re son is safe…for now.”
Jor-El: “Why are you involved in our affairs?”
Tess Mercer: “Because I see…I see what mankind is doing to this planet. The earth is doomed. And you’re race is the only answer to saving it. That’s why I released you all from that orb.”

___

Major Zod: “You’re hiding something with selfless conviction. The shields…you didn’t put them in Metropolis, did you? You’re protecting someone. Someone who didn’t come with us. The same person who told you of Krypton’s destruction. Someone from the House of El.”
Jor-El: “No.”
Major Zod: “Someone you’d give your life for.”

___

Clark Kent: “Where is he? I’ve already checked every LuthorCorp facility, the Daily Planet, and this house. I found no one, where are you hiding him?”
Tess Mercer: “I’m going to need a little bit more information…like a name.”
Clark Kent: “You know who I’m talking about. His name is Jor-El!”
Tess Mercer: “I’m sorry, I can see how upset you are…but I don’t know who you’re talking about.”
Clark Kent: “You’re lying. You have operatives all over the world tracking aliens. You know everything.”
Tess Mercer: “The only alien I know is standing right in front of me.” (Clark quickly grabs Tess by the neck and lifts her, leaving her gasping)
Clark Kent: “Where’s my father? I want to see him now!”
Tess Mercer: “Clark…I have waited so long for you to admit you’re true Kryptonian heritage. I always hoped you’d tell me because you trusted me. But I’ll take what I can get.”
Clark Kent: (puts Tess down) “Where is he? Tell me!”
Tess Mercer: “Zod has him. Don’t worry Clark, I had a tracking device put on Jor-El’s clothes so we could locate him.”
Clark Kent: “You wanted Zod to find him…so you could find the others. You used my father as bait!”
Tess Mercer: “Clark, I was just trying to protect you.”
Clark Kent: (pushes Tess towards her desk) “Find him!”
Tess Mercer: (sits down at desk, keyboard clacking and computer beeps) “He’s at your farm.” (Clark super-speeds away, leaving Tess in awe and smiling)

___

Jor-El: “Kal-El…I’m so proud of you…so proud.”
Clark Kent: “Please…don’t go. I can save you.”
Jor-El: “Save…Zod.” (Jor-El dies in Clark’s arms)

___

Clark Kent: “I had so many questions I wanted to ask him. Figure out who he really was.”
Oliver Queen: “Seems to me you’re a chip off the old block. After seeing how he saved our spunky sidekick, I’d say you’re both heroes.”
Clark Kent: “I’ll never be able to live up to everything he accomplished.”
Oliver Queen: “I don’t know…I don’t think anyone wears that super-shield quite like you.”
Clark Kent: “Still, he sacrificed so much sending me to this planet. Then he sacrificed himself again to protect my secret.”
Oliver Queen: “Of course he did Clark…you’re his son.”
Clark Kent: “He didn’t have to die. I asked Chloe to scan all the footage she has from the farm. She’s going to use the Watchtower to figure out what really happened.”
Oliver Queen: “Look um…(clears throat) I know you and I haven’t always seen eye to eye lately but uh….I got your back…always.”
Clark Kent: “Good. Because I’m going to need your help to figure out who killed my father…and bring him to justice.”

9.08 Idol

Clark Kent: “Earth to Lois. It’s like you’ve been on another planet for the last 15-minutes.
Lois Lane: (scoffs) “Easy armstrong. This space case is buried in research. I’ve got like two weeks worth of work to catch up on.”
Clark Kent: “It was sort of a last minutes vacation, wasn’t it?”
Lois Lane: “Yeah, well I’ve got a pretty tightly wound bolt reflex.”
Clark Kent: “Is this about what happened? Are you turning red?”
Lois Lane: “Believe it or not, my ejector seat malfunction…wasn’t totally about you.”
Clark Kent: “We should talk about it.”
Lois Lane: “When I want to talk about it, I’ll send up a smoke signal.”

___

Therapist: “Why don’t you start by describing these dreams you’ve been having.”
Lois Lane: “Okay, well there as real as you and me right now. More real, actually, despite some flashes of some serious NC-17 violence. Really, the situation involves clothes…coming off…you know, naked. Skin…skin on skin, just…lots of skin.”
Therapist: “So…it’s a sex dream? With the co-worker you mentioned before? Clark Kent?”
Lois Lane: “What is this, Nightline? Alright, yes. I’m doing the virtual Kama-Sutra with Clark Kent. My desk is soft-core central.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “You know, Clark…you need to get to work on some serious spin-doctor magic, because whoever is posing as the Blur is a genius at marketing and self-promotion. He’s co-opted your brand.”
Clark Kent: “I’m not a brand. (looks at computer screen) The Blur has a blog.”
Chloe Sullivan: “And apparently you Twitter, and you’re on Facebook, where you have 10,000 friends, by the way. You’ve come quite a long way since being scarecrowed in high school.”

___

Lois Lane: “Either the Blur is hitting a quarterlife crisis, or his ego has gotten really supersized.”
Clark Kent: “And you’re sure he didn’t try to call you and explain himself?”
Lois Lane: “He called. I didn’t pick-up. Since when did you become the Blur’s big defender?”
Clark Kent: “He just doesn’t deserve the silent treatment just because he’s been out there saving people.”
Lois Lane: “Of course you would say that Clark. You’re a guy. The Blur can’t expect me to be his beck-in-call girl after weeks of no contact.”

___

Jayna: “Where are we? How did we even get here?”
Zan: “It had to have been the Blur.”
Jayna: “Come on Z, there’s no way.”
Zan: “Think about it. Who else could have stopped us? This is the Blur’s lair.”
Jayna: “He doesn’t have a lair.”
Zan: I’m telling you, this tech is definitely off the grid. Oh, wait until I tweet everybody about this.”
Chloe Sullivan: “That’s not going to happen. Welcome to Watchtower. And if you chat one word about what you see and hear, I will vaporize your Twitter accounts, Facebook pages…every trace of your virtual existence will be obliterated.”
Jayna: “Holy hacking. You can do that? Our tweets are totally sealed.
Zan: “Code of silence all the way.”

___

Lois Lane: “I’ve been thinking a lot about my carbon footprint lately, and I figured, you know, we could start carpooling. I thought, you know, the ride…would give us a chance to get past the whole kiss and run of it all and… get to know eachother better.
Clark Kent: “Better? You tell me the color of your underwear everyday. What else is there to know?”

___

Lois Lane: “All your shady backroom deals with organized crime have just come home to roost. I’ve picked out a nice little font for my Expose. ‘Shady Sacks Sucks The City Dry’.”
District Attorney Sacks: “Well, well, well. I actually had another headline in mind. And you’re standing right on top of it. (Lois realizes she standing on painted Shield’) ‘The Blur Murders Lois Lane’. Has a nice ring, doesn’t it?”

___

Lois Lane: “You can’t reveal yourself to the cameras. You mean too much to the city. To the world. Clark…I know that you’ve been living two lives and having to lie to me about it everyday.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, you’re not making any sense. It’s gonna be okay, just hold on.”
Lois Lane: “I’ve always known, deep down, that you were a hero.”

___

Clark Kent: “Lois? You’re alive.”
Lois Lane: “Thank you.” (hugs Clark)
Clark Kent: “I’m flattered, Lois. I wish I could have been the one to rescue you, but I’m not that fast. I took the elevator.”
Lois Lane: “Even after all this, you still can’t tell me?” (payphone rings nearby, both Lois & Clark look in that direction) “Just stay here.”
Voice on phone: “Next time you take on the D.A. of Metropolis, remember to watch you’re step.”
Lois Lane: “But that was just…”
Voice on phone: “Hope I made up for not calling.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, who was that?”
Lois Lane: “The Blur.”

___

Jayna: “Yeah, the D.A. is T.K.O.!
Zan: “The Blur is back on top.”
Jayna: “This makes up for everything.”
Clark Kent: (suddenly appears) “I have you to thank for that.”
Jayna: Oh, my God.”
Zan: “It’s him.”
Clark Kent: “I put my shield out there to inspire people to step up and be there own heroes, and you did.”
Jayna: “We believe in you, Master B.”
Clark Kent: “Don’t believe in me, believe in the shield, and what it represents. Most importantly, believe in yourselves.”
Zan: “But…we’re not the hero. You are.”
Clark Kent: “That depends on you. Metropolis doesn’t need more Blur fans. It needs people who are willing to do exactly what you did today. But you do need to be more careful. Heroes don’t get second chances, and people need you to make life and death decisions everyday. There’s no room for mistakes.”
Zan: “Ever?”
Clark Kent: “Not when the world is watching.” (super-speeds away)

___

Lois Lane: “Let’s see what you got.”
Clark Kent: (turns around to reveal his new glasses) “I’m a bit near-sighted. I’ve been trying not to wear them.”
Lois Lane: “They’re very…(takes glasses from Clark and puts them on)…Clark Kent. I guess you’re not the only one who’s a little short-sighted. It’s just sometimes I feel like I see a whole other side of you than anyone else.”
Clark Kent: “Lois?”
Lois Lane: “It’s okay. It’s my hero complex to resolve. I take the nicest guy that I know and I weigh him down with all of this shining armor, and it’s not fair. Nobody can be two different people.”
Clark Kent: “I wish I could. Is this your long-winded way of saying that you hate these?”
Lois Lane: “Personally…I don’t mind the bump in your geek factor. But professionally…there are these newfangled things you can try. They’re called contacts.”
Clark Kent: “It means a lot that you thought I had it in me.”
Lois Lane: “Don’t worry Smallville. I’ll only call you four-eyes every once in a while.
(Turns to walk away, sighs, turns again to face Clark)
Lois Lane: “But just so you’re clear on one thing.”
(Kicks bundled newspaper stack towards Clark, stands on top and kisses Clark. Dream sequence kicks in, and Lois passes out)
Clark Kent: “Lois? Lois!”

9.09 Pandora

Stuart Campbell: “So what, all this is because she told her shrink she has headaches and futuristic flashes?”
(Tess turns to glare at Stuart)
Stuart Campbell: “What? I can’t hack in these files and not read them.”
Tess Mercer: “There called boundaries Stuart, find some.”

___

Clark Kent: “I can’t believe your alive.”
Lois Lane: “This dream just got 10-times brighter.”
Clark Kent: “What do you mean a dream? Lois, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you’re not dreaming.”
Lois Lane: “Clark, if this isn’t a dream, then this is the worst nightmare I could ever imagine. Since when did the Kent family farm become a prison? And why would you give away the one thing of your dad’s that meant so much to you?”
Clark Kent: “I did it for you.”
Lois Lane: “Okay, hold on. Explain about the wicked witch and the flying freaks. Have we been invaded by the Wizard of Oz?”
Clark Kent: “More like another planet.”
Lois Lane: “Aliens? (Clark nods) Clark, before I fought Tess…she went on and on about some orb. Called it alien technology…said there was life inside it. This invasion…Tess knew about it.”
Clark Kent: “Yeah, well Tess may have helped…these aliens have their own leader. His name is Zod. I tried to fight him, but…I made all the wrong choices. A lot of people died.”
Lois Lane: “Please tell me Chloe wasn’t one of them.”
Clark Kent: “Lois, I don’t know. After I thought I lost you, I went off on my own. I haven’t talked to her in months.
Lois Lane: “Months?”
Clark Kent: “Lois, you vanished a year ago.”
Lois Lane: “No, I was just throwing down with Tess a few hours ago. And then I grabbed that gold ring.”
Clark Kent: “The Legion ring? It must have brought you here when you put it on. Do you still have it?”
Lois Lane: “Yeah.”
Soldier Basqat: (to Lois) “You! General Zod would like to see you.”
Clark Kent: (whispers to Lois) “Protect the ring.”

___

Clark Kent: “Where’s Lois?”
Chloe Sullivan: “Last I heard, you dropped her at the hospital.”
Clark Kent: “Someone moved her and I know you had Emil look into her records.”
Chloe Sullivan: “She’s my cousin, Clark.”
Clark Kent: “Chloe, you’ve been hiding things from me for months. Now I think you’re hiding Lois.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Right accusation, wrong girl. Clark, I may not have been sharing my deep dark secrets with you lately, but someone else has been playing hide-in-seek a lot longer than I have.”
Clark Kent: “Tess.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Yeah. We can work on your apology later. Tess has been keeping more than just an editorial eye on Lois for the past few months.”
Clark Kent: “Lois can’t answer any of her questions. She’s in a coma.”
Chloe Sullivan: “She doesn’t have to talk to Tess for her to run tests on her. And we both know how obsessed she’s been with the fact that Lois vanished for 3-weeks.”
Clark Kent: “You think this has something to do with her trip to the future?”
Chloe Sullivan: “I think it’s possible. Emil gave me the hospital work-ups on her. She suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Clark Kent: “So every time she has a memory, her body relives the trauma.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Her heart can only take so much.”

___

General Zod: “I’m General Zod. And all of this…is mine to give…if you give me the names of whoever snuck you into the restricted zone.”
Lois Lane: “My dad’s a General too.”
General Zod: “Oh?”
Lois Lane: “And he still couldn’t get me to spill how I got an M1 Abram’s Tank to take me to prom. So I’m definitely not telling you anything.”

___

Lois Lane: “Tess Mercer, the ultimate Eco-terrorist.”
General Zod: “And what are you? I understand you were seen talking to Clark Kent. It was only a matter of time before the resistance got to him.”
Lois Lane: “The only thing I’m resisting is the urge to kick both you’re asses. And if Clark were here right now, he would back me up.”

___

Chloe Sullivan: “You time traveled here?”
Lois Lane: “I’m pretty sure I didn’t walk a whole year into the future, not in these heels. The thing is, I lost the ring. That one named wonder Zod took it.”

___

Lois Lane: “So about the tower?”
Chloe Sullivan: “The towers are the key to the Kandorian’s power. They collect the sun’s radiation, turn it red and then beam it back up to the LuthorCorp satellites.”
Oliver Queen: “Those satellites take that radiation and they beam it back down to earth, giving those alien SOB’s all their superhuman strength. Now we take the tower down, we shut them down.”
Lois Lane: “Guys, I’ve seen Zod’s troops. We are seriously outnumbered. We’d never reach it.”
Chloe Sullivan: “We don’t have to. We have a secret weapon – Watchtower. I powered down Watchtower so the Kandorians couldn’t find it. But I can use the computers to hack into Zod’s big red flashlight and unleash a virus that should shut it off remotely.”
Clark Kent: “You guys bring back the yellow sun, and I’ll take the others to find the Legion ring.”
Lois Lane: “I just have one more question. How does turning the sun yellow make Clark the number one draft pick for taking on this Zod guy?”
Clark Kent: “Zod and I have history.”

___

Clark Kent: “Here, this is for you. (hands Lois a maple donut in paper bag). You just got back from a trip to the hospital, not Hawaii. You need to take it slow.”
Lois Lane: “I have hypoglycemia Clark…not arthritis. Doc says as long as I eat every 3-hours, I’m gold. (takes a bite out of maple donut) Happy?”
Clark Kent: “Very. I almost lost you once. I don’t want it to happen again. Lois, what are we doing?”
Lois Lane: “I’m eating a maple donut. And you’re…kinda invading my personal space.”
Clark Kent: “I mean us. Lois and Clark. Clark and Lois as a couple.”
Lois Lane: “Whoa, cowboy! You just went from 10 to like a 110 in 2-seconds flat. Slow it down. You know I-I still need to get my feet back under me.”
Clark Kent: “Well, you can lean on me for strength. I feel stronger when your around anyway.”
Lois Lane: (chuckles) “Clark, I have done this dating thing wrong so many times.”
Clark Kent: “Then let’s do it right. Let’s take our time.”
Lois Lane: “Really? In that case…let’s go get a real cup of coffee. (begins to walk arm in arm with Clark towards the elevator) And then we’ll have lunch…the first of many. They’ll be ice cream and chalupas. Picnics in the park. Dancing in the rain. And you will take me to a monster truck rally.”

(Elevator door opens, Lois steps in and Clark follows her, smiling. As the elevator door starts to close, Lois reaches for Clark’s hand, and he takes it, and the pair hold hands as the door shuts).

___

Oliver Queen: “You know for a guy who got a mondo dose of Kryptonite, you sure seem happy.”
Clark Kent: “The sun is shining. Lois is going to be alright.”
Chloe Sullivan: “She should be fine. Dr. Emil ran every possible test on her, and she’s healthy and doesn’t remember a thing. Except of course the flowers that Clark sent to her hospital room. But who could forget five dozen roses?”
Oliver Queen: “Five dozen roses. Wow, that’s subtle.”

___

Oliver Queen: “I vote we take Zod out now. That way he doesn’t have a chance to take the sunshine off our shoulders.”
Clark Kent: “No, in the future that I saw I tried to fight Zod. All it did was turn him into a more powerful enemy.”
Chloe Sullivan: “Clark, just because you learned a lesson in team work, doesn’t mean we have to stop fighting Zod.”
Clark Kent: “Going up against Zod will only force him to come back with everything he has.”
Oliver Queen: “So what, you think you two can just hug it out?”
Clark Kent: “When my father said save Zod, what I think he meant was save Zod from himself. Now if I can befriend him and show him how good life can be here…”
Chloe Sullivan: “That would be a mistake. Clark, if Zod gets his solar towers online, that gives him all the power in the world, and us none, including you. Zod will fly psychopathic circles around you.”
Clark Kent: “Chloe, I’ve seen what happens when I treat Zod like the enemy. This time I’m going to do things the right way.”

___

Clark Kent: “I understand you’ve been looking for me.”
Major Zod: “My brother and sister Kandorians…he has come. Kneel…before Kal-El.”
