Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Dad's missing because of me. I brought this upon us.

  Martha Kent : You can't blame yourself. You can't change who you are. As long as you live, people will try to exploit you. Your father and I have tried to shelter you as long as possible, but one day we won't be there for you, and you're gonna have to carry the burden of your gifts on your own.

  Clark Kent : Don't say that, mom.

  Martha Kent : And when your day comes, I have no doubt in my heart that you'll make us proud.

• Martha Kent : I just can't believe how familiar all this feels.

  Lana Lang : The meteor shower?

  Martha Kent : Yeah. God, I remember it like it was yesterday.

  Lana Lang : Yeah, me too.

  Martha Kent : Oh, I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to dredge up bad memories.

  Lana Lang : It's okay. For so long it seemed to define me, that Fairy Princess picture on "Time" magazine.

  Martha Kent : Well, if it makes you feel any better, you made one wish come true that day. Jonathan and I were in Nell's, buying flowers right before the meteor shower, and you were sitting on the counter with your wings and wand, and you asked me if I wanted to make a wish, so I did. And not long after that, Clark came into our lives. I... I've never even told Clark that story.

  Lana Lang : Clark is so lucky to have you and Mr. Kent as parents. I've always been kind of envious. You seem so open.

  Martha Kent : I'm glad that you and Clark have become close.

  Lana Lang : Yeah, me too.
