Emmanuelle Vaugier: Dr. Helen Bryce

Quotes 

• Dr. Helen Bryce : [showing Lex a tabloid article about their relationship]  This is yesterday's paper. Why didn't you tell me about it?

  Lex Luthor : Because I thought I bought up every copy in Smallville. Helen, I've been living with this kind of thing my whole life. I'm sorry they've come after you, too. I know it's not fair. I was trying to protect you.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : You can't, Lex. I-It's not just the paper. I mean, people have been treating me differently ever since I started dating you. I have sacrificed so much to get where I am.

  Lex Luthor : And now your reputation is being trashed by rumor and innuendo? Is that why you haven't moved in yet?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : I already told you, I-I... my lease isn't up yet. And I haven't had time to pack.

  Lex Luthor : [taking out his phone]  Okay. I'll pay to break your lease, and, uh... I'll have movers at your place in an hour. What's stopping you now?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : I need to do this on my own schedule.

  Lex Luthor : I want you to know that I completely believe in us. But if you want to back out... I'll understand.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : [he moves to leave]  Can you make it two hours?

• Dr. Helen Bryce : According to the charts your OB sent over, your pregnancy's been smooth sailing so far.

  Martha Kent : I don't know about that. Whatever we talk about is confidential, right?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : Of course.

  Martha Kent : You won't tell anyone? Not even... significant others?

  Dr. Helen Bryce : You're worried I'll tell Lex?

  Martha Kent : Jonathan. He doesn't know I'm here.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : I can assure you, everything in this office stays between you and me. Mrs. Kent, does your being here have anything to do with Clark's unusual blood work or... or your miraculous recovery? Because I'll be honest with you, I still don't understand what I saw that day.

• Dr. Helen Bryce : Lex, we need to talk a talk.

  Lex Luthor : Is this a closet-space issue? Because I could use the walk-in across the hall.

• Dr. Helen Bryce : When you asked me to move in, you gave me a key that opened every door in the house. All except one.

  Lex Luthor : You've been exploring.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : At first I thought that I could deal with it, but then the more I think about it, the more it starts to bother me.

  Lex Luthor : Helen, there's nothing of consequence in that room.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : Then why is it locked?

  Lex Luthor : Look... everyone needs a place where they can be alone. Hear their own thoughts. That's all that room is for me. You are welcome to make your own space anywhere else in the mansion.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : Lex, I wasn't looking for a roommate. I was looking for someone to share my life with.

  Lex Luthor : Helen...

  Dr. Helen Bryce : You know, you need to figure out what kind of a relationship you want. Because if this is gonna work, there can't be any locked doors between us.

• Dr. Helen Bryce : What is all this?

  Lex Luthor : Montaigne said obsession was the wellspring of genius and madness. This is my obsession. I'm sure you can understand my reluctance to show you this room. I thought you might decide I was a little... eccentric.

  Dr. Helen Bryce : [looking around]  There's a lot here about the Kents.

  Lex Luthor : Yeah. They're an interesting family. Don't you think?
