- Clark Kent: Lana, last year I tried so hard to be the right guy for you... but the truth is... I'm not.
- Lana Lang: Clark, you never had to try.
- [She rides of into the sunset]
- Clark Kent: [In shock of what he sees] Lex?
- Lex Luthor: Three months alone on a deserted island was almost worth it to see the look on your face right now.
- Clark Kent: [They hug] Lex. We thought you died.
- Lex Luthor: Well, apparently fate has bigger plans for me.
- Dr. Helen Bryce: Thank God.
- Lex Luthor: Trust me, I've done that. He seems to be the only one on my side.
- Lionel Luthor: I had search parties scouring half the world for you.
- Lex Luthor: Looks like you picked the wrong half.
- Martha Kent: You bought our farm?
- Lex Luthor: I put your names in the deed.
- Jonathan Kent: We can't accept this.
- Lex Luthor: There's nothing to accept but my gratitude.
- Jonathan Kent: Lex...
- Lex Luthor: After the plane went down, I made my way into one of the broken wings. This compass, your wedding present, guided me to safe harbor. The least I can do is help you keep your farm.
- Jonathan Kent: Uh... we will find some way to pay you back.
- Lex Luthor: I'm not worried about that, Mr. Kent. If it's not too presumptuous, I hope you just consider me part of the family.
- Lex Luthor: [In the shadows] Abraham threw Issac on the pyre to prove his faith to God. What was your excuse, Dad?
- [He reveals himself]
- Lionel Luthor: [In amazement] Lex?
- Lex Luthor: [Pulls out a gun and points it at Lionel] Disappointed I'm not basking in the fires of hell?
- Lionel Luthor: Lex... I...
- Lex Luthor: Sorry, I screwed up your plan.
- Morgan Edge: [Sitting in his Mercedes with the window cracked] I must admit. This is the last place I expected you to show up.
- [Clark and Edge exchange glances]
- Morgan Edge: Where's my package?
- Clark Kent: I don't have it.
- Morgan Edge: [Typing 911 on his cell phone] I wonder if the cops wanna' know where you are?
- Clark Kent: [He fakes a transition into 'Kal' and rips the door off Edge's car, grabs him, and pins him up against the car] I don't think you heard me! I don't have it and Luthor doesn't know who took it so forget about it! Now take your sorry ass back to Metropolis. I don't wanna' see you in Smallville again, ever.
- [Edge collects his goons and gets back in the car and drives off and Clark watches with a devilish look in his eyes and stops and regains his composure again]
