Quotes:
From "Smallville: Finale (#10.21)" (2011)
Martha Kent: No matter where I am or who I'm choosing to bring in my life, your father is always with me. And he's with you, if you just allow yourself to - to see him.
Clark Kent: I did. Last year. I thought I was talking to him. But then I realized it was just an excuse for me not to face my future - just I was waiting for Jor-El to show me the way. I had to move on.
