Quotes 

• Lana Lang : You're working late.

  Martha Kent : Oh, god, it's like this never stops. I don't know how you managed all this and went to school, too, Lana.

  Lana Lang : It wasn't easy, but I don't remember staying this late after closing every night.

  Martha Kent : Well, it's easier to do this here than at home.

  Lana Lang : Is everything all right, Mrs. Kent?

  Martha Kent : Oh... Jonathan thinks the only reason I took this job is to help out with our finances.

  [pause] 

  Martha Kent : I love him, so much. But after everything that's happened, all... all his health problems, the only time I'm not worrying about losing him is when I'm here working.

  Lana Lang : But, uh... if you're here all the time, then, um... you don't see him anyway. Isn't that like you've lost him already?

  Martha Kent : A summer in Paris has really given you some insight, Lana. Thank you for reminding me.

  Lana Lang : Reminding you of what?

  Martha Kent : That it's easier to deal with your fears if you can share them with someone you love.

• Jonathan Kent : Hey. I thought you'd be at work all day.

  Martha Kent : Well that's one of the benefits of being the boss. I promoted Linda to assistant manager so I could take a break and spend some time with a ruggedly handsome farmer.

  Jonathan Kent : Well, you're in luck. There just happens to be one sweating in your driveway right now.

  Martha Kent : Maybe I should get the hose and a bucket of soap.

  Jonathan Kent : I've really missed you.

  Martha Kent : Me, too.

• Martha Kent : Are you sure you're okay?

  Jonathan Kent : Sweetheart, I'm fine. I wish you wouldn't worry about me all the time.

  Martha Kent : You were in a coma for three months, Jonathan. It's hard not to worry when you've been through so much.

  Jonathan Kent : A little help from modern medicine, I plan on going through a whole lot more. Starting with a romantic evening with my beautiful wife. I thought maybe we could have a little dinner, then drive on down to the lake...

  Martha Kent : I'd love that, sweetheart, but I... I might have to work late again tonight. Running the Talon is a lot more involved than I thought it would be.
