Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : What's the sudden interest in Greg? You coming out of the entomology closet?

  Clark Kent : It's nothing. I'll catch up with you later.

  Chloe Sullivan : I hate it when you do that.

  Clark Kent : Do what?

  Chloe Sullivan : Just shut me out. It's like one minute you're here, and the next you're gone. Clark, you're not outgrowing me as a friend, are you?

  Clark Kent : Chloe, I could never outgrow you. Other than vertically.

  Chloe Sullivan : [blushing]  It's amazing how far that Kent charm with get you.

• Pete Ross : He had a killer tree fort his dad built in the woods.

  Clark Kent : It was okay.

  Pete Ross : Clark never liked it. He used to get sick just walking over there.

  Chloe Sullivan : How come?

  Pete Ross : He was afraid of heights.

  Clark Kent : I didn't believe it was structurally sound.

• Chloe Sullivan : I found an article about Amazonian tribesmen who took on traits of the insects they've been bitten by, but nothing as extreme as what you're talking about. Did you have any luck?

  Clark Kent : Only that Greg didn't move to Smallville until after the meteor shower. So he couldn't have been exposed to the blast.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, but his bugs could have been. Think about it, Clark; pieces of that meteor are still buried all over Smallville. The whole habitat's infected. So when boy catches bugs and bugs bite boy, you end up with Bug Boy.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, you can't even walk out your door in the summertime without being bitten by a mosquito. Why don't we have a whole town of bug people?

  Chloe Sullivan : Uh, because you need a certain level of toxins to cause a mutation. Those Amazonian tribesmen were all attacked by swarms.

  Clark Kent : Greg did keep tanks of bugs in his room. Maybe they got sick of the view and staged a revolt.

  Chloe Sullivan : [glancing at the magazine in hand]  Well, according to this, bugs have a very short life cycle. So if he really has gone Kafka, let's hope he isn't in the mating phase.

• Clark Kent : Is Greg Arkin still a science reporter for the Torch?

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, if your definition of a reporter is someone who actually turns in articles, then no. Greg hasn't shown his face in the office for, like, a week.

• Chloe Sullivan : [at Greg's house]  Doesn't look like anyone's home.

  Pete Ross : The place is a mess. Remember what a neat freak Greg's mom was?

  Clark Kent : Yeah, she used to make us take off our shoes. One time I forgot, and she yelled at me.

  Chloe Sullivan : Is that what broke up the friendship?

  Clark Kent : After seventh grade, Greg's parents got divorced, and he just stopped calling after that.
