Lionel: I wonder, do they know about the sort of things you keep hidden behind closed doors.
Lex: Ooh – you must be referring about our deep dark family secrets. Don’t worry – I won’t embarrass you.
Lionel: How does it go? You can put a tuxedo on the fiddler but he's still going to play the same old tune.
Chloe That's good - you should jot that down and add it to your page-a-day calendar.
My personal favourite was Lex's muffin peddler line to Lois, what a forest fire
1) Lex was at the Talon, sitting down at a table. Lois was one of the waitresses.
Lex (to Lois): How about a Latte?
Lois: Don't you find this just a tad sleazy holding a campaign photo-shooting where Martha Kent works? You may as well go up to their farm and milk their cows.
Lex: In case you don't know where your paycheck comes from, I own the Talon.
Lois: What don't you own? I guess you now want to own the government.
Lex: Wow! Why are you so angry, Lois? What have I done to you?
Lois: You just remind me a lot of those pseudo-politicians I grew up around. You know, men who bought their way into office. Do you really think you can beat Jonathan Kent? There must be a lot of dirt on you to create a landmass the size of Texas.
Lex: Please, grab a shovel and start digging. I have nothing to hide.
Lois: Let me give you a little friendly advice. Bow out of the race before a little pesky squirrel digs up one your rotten acorns.
Lex: Well, thanks Lois. There's nothing more valuable than the savvy political advice of a muffin-peddling college drop-out. Speaking of, do you have any banana/blueberry today?
2) Lionel and Chloe quotes
Lionel: Miss Sullivan.
Chloe: Mr. Luthor, what are you doing here?
Lionel: You have made it to the major leagues. Congratulations!
Chloe: Thank you.
Lionel: Very, very nice. You've done quite well for yourself. I am certain that sooner than later, you're going to be working upstairs under the Tiffany lamps. A big story certainly would accelerate the process. Not that obituaries and wedding announcements don't inspire scintillating journalism.
Chloe: If you're trying to feed me some self-promoting fluff piece, I am not interested.
Lionel: How does it go? You can put a tuxedo on a fiddler, but he's still going to play the same old tune.
Chloe: That's good. You should jot that down and add it to your page-a- day calendar. I gotta go.
Lionel: Miss Sullivan, your creative passion will always be for the bazaar and the inexplicable. That's why I think you're the perfect reporter for this story.
Chloe: You have one minute. The clock is ticking.
Lionel: It seems there is someone at central Kansas University who has the astounding ability to run at virtually the speed of light. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Chloe: The school is located at Smallville. Meteor Freak Capital of the world.
Lionel: This person can lift an automobile with one hand, can create fire with the blink of an eye. It's extraordinary.
Chloe: It sounds like a bit of a stretch, even for me. Do you have any proof?
Lionel: If we had proof, there wouldn't be any need for investigative reporting now, would there? The person's name is Milton Fine. He is a Professor of World History.
Chloe: Why did you come to me?
Lionel: "Frankly...I didn't think that Time Magazine would be interested. (Lionel walks out). "Good day, Miss Sullivan."
3) Jor-El: Kal-El, why have you come?
Clark: Please! Do whatever you want to me! Leave my mother alone!
Jor-El: I have caused your mother no harm.
Clark: No! Don't lie to me! If I have known someone close to me would die, I would have given up my life in a second!
Jor-El: It was you who chose to give up your powers and turn your back on me.
Clark: Please, let her live!
Jor-El: I am sorry, my son. The wheel of fate has already been set in motion. Even you cannot alter destiny.
4) Clark (to Chloe): You know, Professor Fine said that human beings were insignificant and couldn't be depended on. He obviously didn't know you very well.
Chloe: Please. Robo-Professor knows as much about human nature as R2D2.
5) Jonathan and Clark quotes
Jonathan: Hey! I know how hard all this has been on you. How are you holding up?
Clark: I still don't know how I could be so gullible. I believed everything he (Milton Fine) said.
Jonathan: I would have done the same thing, son. You were trying to save your mother. Luckily she's safe now. I think the best thing we can do is to put all this behind us and move on with our lives, don't you?
Clark: I'm not so sure. Jor-el's warning is still out there.
Jonathan: Clark, your mother's virus was caused by Fine, not by Jor-El. He (Jor-El) hasn't done anything yet...and for all we know he might never do anything.
Clark: Dad, we all know Jor-El's not the type to just let things go.
Jonathan: Clark, when it comes down to it, none of us are going to be around forever. Now we can't dwell on that. I think the trick is to live your life to its fullest, make sure you spend as much times as you possibly can...with the people you love.
It's hard to top Lex's "muffin peddling college dropout" line. That had to sting, especially as he follows it up by asking if they have any banana blueberry muffins. I like how they bring that line up later in the episode when Lois pouts about it to Chloe.
