Shelley Fabares: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Kara : Wow. The town is deader than usual. Where is everybody?

  Martha Kent : Patience.

  Jonathan Kent : [arriving at their destination]  Here we are.

  Kara : Don't tell me the circus is back so soon.

  Jonathan Kent : No, it's much better than that.

  Kara : Hey, Owen. What's up?

  Owen : [monotone]  Unity.

  Kara : Unity? What's that? New band?

  Reverend Amos Howell : There you are, Jonathan and Martha. We've been waiting for you. Ah, and this must be Kara, about whom I've heard so much.

  Kara : I know you. The man from the bus station.

  Reverend Amos Howell : The Reverend Amos Howell, at your service. A humble traveler spreading the word of Unity.

  Kara : Which is what, exactly?

  Reverend Amos Howell : The one true source of universal bliss. Nations fall and demigods fade, but only Unity is absolute, all-encompassing and eternal.

  Kara : [creeped out]  Ugh. Does Pastor Ross know about this?

  Reverend Amos Howell : Oh, he was among the first converts. Your step-parents, your neighbors, indeed everyone in Smallville has embraced the call of Unity. Now it is time for you to do the same.

• Kara : I can't wait. The bus is just a mile away.

  Jonathan Kent : How do you kn... oh, never mind.

  Owen : [running up]  Hey, Kara.

  Kara : Hey, Owen.

  Owen : Your folks said you were going to Metropolis, so I brought you something to read on your trip.

  Kara : Comic books?

  Martha Kent : [whispering]  Be nice.

  Kara : Thanks.

  Owen : No problem. Uh, maybe you could drop me a postcard from the big city.

  Kara : Gee, I'm gonna be pretty busy.

  [Martha nudges her] 

  Kara : Sure.

  [her bus pulls up] 

  Kara : Oh, darn, here's the bus. See ya.

• Kara : Yahoo! Spring break at last.

  [getting dressed and hurrying downstairs] 

  Kara : So long, snoozeville. Hello, Metropolis.

  Jonathan Kent : Just a minute, little lady. You still have your chores.

  Kara : Done...

  [speeding away and returning with a basket of eggs] 

  Kara : ...and done.

  Martha Kent : Kara, you know how that upsets the chickens.

  Jonathan Kent : Good thing I didn't ask her to milk the cow.

  Kara : [a cow moos; holding a container of milk]  Oops.

• Jonathan Kent : And we were actually part of some alien conspiracy?

  Kara : Yeah, Pa. And you were crankier than usual. But I can't tell you how great it is to have everything back to normal.

  Martha Kent : I thought you found normal boring.

  Kara : Well, at this point, boring's not so bad. I'm even meeting Owen down at the comic store.

  Jonathan Kent : [looking out the window]  Say, Martha, did you see what the Langs are growin'? Looks like rutabaga.

  Martha Kent : I don't know, Jonathan. Looks like turnips to me.

• Martha Kent : I hope you'll try to act more normal while you're staying with Clark. You know how he likes to keep a low profile.

  Kara : No offense, but what's so great about being normal?

  Jonathan Kent : Now, see here. If it's good enough for us humans, it's good enough for you.

  Kara : [kissing his cheek]  If you say so.

• Martha Kent : Give in, Kara. Don't resist.

  Doctor #1 : Accept us.

  Martha Kent , Doctor #1 , Doctor #2 : Accept Unity.

  Superman : Supergirl!

  Supergirl : [he uses his x-ray vision to sever the alien tentacles]  Thanks. But how did...

  Superman : Remember when Ma woke up? It was the x-rays.

• Kara : I'm home! Ma? Pa?

  [meowing, the cat comes out from under the kitchen table] 

  Kara : Hey, Streaky. Miss me? What's the matter? No one feed you today?

  Jonathan Kent : Kara?

  Kara : Oh, hi, guys.

  [with a hiss, Streaky jumps out of her arms] 

  Kara : Streaky! What's gotten into him?

  Martha Kent : You're early.

  Kara : Well, I didn't want you making a run to the bus station on my account.

  Jonathan Kent : But we were going to pick you up and take you someplace special.

  Kara : Let me guess. It's all-you-can-eat night at the Pig Pit?

  Martha Kent : You'll see.

• Superman : I got here as soon as I could. What happened?

  Supergirl : [whispering]  I told them I got a distress call from the Midwest. I found her with that thing sticking out of her.

  Doctor #1 : I've never seen anything like it. The x-rays show some kind of parasite wrapped around her brain stem.

  Doctor #2 : We can't remove it without killing her.

  Supergirl : [Martha moans]  Mrs. Kent?

  [lowering her voice] 

  Supergirl : Ma?

  Martha Kent : Kara? Clark? Help me.

  Supergirl : What's happening to her?

  Doctor #1 : [checking her eye]  We have to run more tests.

  Superman : [leading Kara away]  Come on.
