Rickman: I'm just like you, Lex. Government employee sets my emission levels and I abide. You have an objection?
Lex: Let's call it an interest. Smallville's my home now.

What? Why are looking at me like that? ...and why is my mouth minty?

Chloe

Chloe: Oh my god... did I just...?
Clark: It's okay; it was... fine.

Clark: Don't do this. I'm your friend.
Lex: Oh please. You think I don't see the way your parents look at me? The way half the town looks at me? You're no different. Friendship's a fairy tale, Clark. Respect and fear are the best you can hope for.

You can learn a lot from someone you hate.

Lex

Clark: I don't blame him; I don't see myself being a farmer when I grow up.
Lana: Then what do you want to do?
Clark: I'm not sure - as long as it doesn't involve putting on a suit and doing a lot of flying.

If I was interested in money, I wouldn't be a farmer, now would I?

Jonathan

Jonathan: No, I will not owe Lex Luthor anything, thank you.
Martha: Right now you don't have anything to owe.

Lex: Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird?
Clark: Never read it.
Lex: You should. You two have a lot in common. Small town heroes, believe in the truth, not willing to back down.
Clark: How does it end?
Lex: It's not about the ending, it's about the journey.

That, my friend, is the key to leadership. Not only knowing you're right, but convincing everyone else. If you can do that, the world's your oyster.

Lex

I'm not out here doing this butt-bashing thing for fun. These woods are like the Bermuda Triangle of Smallville.

Chloe

Chloe: Yeah. Don't you think it's a little odd that he lives all alone way out here in the woods?
Clark: Thoreau did.
Chloe: Yeah, Clark. So did the Unabomber.
