- Arthur Curry: Maybe we should start up a Junior Lifeguard Association or something.
- Clark: I'm not sure I'm ready for the JLA quite yet.
- Professor Milton Fine: Well, you know, Groucho Marx said there was only one way to find out if a man is honest: ask him. If he says yes, then he must be crooked.
- Clark: I would think a college professor would be quoting Karl Marx, not Groucho.
- Professor Milton Fine: German philosophy is easy. Comedy's hard.
- Lois Lane: You don't even know me.
- Arthur Curry: What's to know? You're abrasive, sarcastic, and you never shut up.
- Lois Lane: Yeah, those are my good qualities.
- Arthur Curry: Please, please, please destroy that weapon.
- Lex Luthor: Wow. Okay, you convinced me. I'll flush a 100 million in R&D down the toilet and put the nation's fleet at risk while I'm at it. You might be a big fish in the water but up here I'm the shark.
- Chloe Sullivan: So, I take it Lana hasn't gotten a peek into the confidential files of Clark Kent yet?
- Clark Kent: Chloe, you think I'm happy about having my powers back and lying about them? I didn't ask for this life.
- Chloe Sullivan: We didn't ask for a world that needs heroes, but the truth is we do. Now more than ever, Clark.
- Clark: Just stay out of trouble, alright, A.C.?
- Arthur Curry: Try to get in some, Clark. Stay super, bro.
- Lex Luthor: It's a complicated world, Clark. Only the naive view it in black and white.
- Clark Kent: You know, the other day, a professor of mine, he accused LuthorCorp of being evil, and you being just short of the devil.
- Lex Luthor: Well, you didn't tell him about my pitchfork, did you?
- Clark Kent: [with a touch of sadness] I defended you.
- [turning to leave]
- Clark Kent: I guess I am naive.
- Clark Kent: Look, I don't think Leviathan is gonna be a threat anymore, but Lex might. He's seen your abilities. He'll turn the world upside down looking for you.
- Arthur Curry: Well, the world's three-quarters water. Good luck finding me.
- [to Arthur referring to his swimwear]
- Lois Lane: You know this, uh, orange-and-green thing you got going? It looks like Flipper threw up.
- Arthur Curry: Maybe you ought to stick to the shallow end until you know how to swim, gorgeous.
- Lois Lane: Maybe you ought to try a breath mint, surfer boy.
- Clark: I'll go talk to Lex.
- Arthur Curry: There isn't enough time. Come on, Superboy. With you on the turf and me in the surf, we could stop this thing cold.
