- Clark Kent: If Lex is right, Lionel got away with murder.
- Jonathan Kent: But you didn't tell him what really happened.
- Clark Kent: I figured what's the point?
- Jonathan Kent: Clark. Clark, I do not want you and Chloe taking up this charge.
- Clark Kent: Someone's gonna make Lionel pay for his crime.
- Jonathan Kent: Some day, somebody is gonna make Lionel pay for his crime, but that day is not today, Clark. Now, I know this is very difficult for you, but you have to realize that there are people out there who are more powerful than you are.
- Lex Luthor: You know, Clark, there is one thing I'll never forget.
- Clark Kent: What's that?
- Lex Luthor: How important your friendship means to me.
- Clark Kent: How is Lana?
- Chloe Sullivan: It's been really tough. She could use some moral support.
- Clark Kent: I sent her a card.
- Chloe Sullivan: Nothing says "I love you" more than a $1.50 piece of cardboard.
- Ian Randall: Well, if it isn't Ku Klux Van.
- Van McNulty: Get out of my grille, freaks.
- Eric Summers: I'd watch your mouth in here if I were you.
- Ian Randall: We heard about your little one-man ethnic cleansing campaign.
- Van McNulty: I don't know what you're talking about.
- Ian Randall: Oh, come on. You were out there picking off meteor freaks like ducks on the first day of hunting season.
- Eric Summers: And now you're stuck in here with all us ducks. Quack, quack.
- Ian Randall: We don't want to hurt you, Van. Believe it or not, the three of us have something in common.
- Van McNulty: I seriously doubt that.
- Eric Summers: Clark Kent put us all in here.
- Ian Randall: And the word on the ward is you know his weakness.
- Van McNulty: Why should I tell you?
- Ian Randall: Well, because we're looking to sample the sweet taste of revenge.
- Eric Summers: See, if you weaken him, I can leech his powers and break us all out of here.
- Van McNulty: Wait, you took Clark's powers. How?
- Eric Summers: It was a lightning strike. He took them back with a high voltage shock.
- Van McNulty: How do I know I can trust you freaks?
- Ian Randall: The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
- Martha Kent: You okay?
- Clark Kent: In a way, I envy Lex. He seems so happy. I wish I could erase the last few months of my life.
- Martha Kent: I heard they're having a welcome back party for Lana at the Talon. Why don't you go?
- Clark Kent: You never quit, do you?
- Martha Kent: It's called tough love.
- Lionel Luthor: It's sad to see a man who's lost his mind, but it's tragic when he's convinced himself that he's sane.
