- Lex Luthor: [Clark is standing at the loft window looking at the stars in quiet reflection as Lex appears in the darkness below] I came to say thank you.
- [Clark looks at him deifiantly as he steps into the light]
- Lex Luthor: I know you were only trying to help me.
- Clark Kent: I hope you would have done the same for me.
- Lex Luthor: What do you want from me?
- Clark Kent: I want you to change.
- Lex Luthor: I'm not sure if I can.
- Clark Kent: Lex, I realized that there's so much I don't know about you. I mean, what else don't I know about you?
- Lex Luthor: You don't know that sometimes I wonder why I keep going. Why I do the things I do. I treated those women terribly Clark. I see that now.
- Clark Kent: Well, that's a start.
- Lex Luthor: You know when that fire was coming towards me I thought "Good, save the world a lot of grief." But then the fire went out and fate gave me a second chance.
- Clark Kent: Lex, the way things have been between us the last few days... I felt your father was being more honest with me than you were. I hated that feeling. I felt like we were enemies.
- Lex Luthor: Don't give up on me yet.
- Jonathan Kent: I'm glad Lex was found innocent, but I sure wish you would have come to us before you got yourself involved.
- Clark Kent: Well, at first, dad, I just wanted to help. But then I had to figure out if I could trust him or not.
- Martha Kent: What did you decide?
- Clark Kent: I haven't. I mean, the way he treated those women. It showed me a side of Lex I hadn't seen before. I mean, how could you just not care that you hurt someone?
- Jonathan Kent: Lex was just following what he's learned, son. That's all.
- Clark Kent: There's something else you should know. I went to see Lionel.
- Martha Kent: What?
- Clark Kent: He wanted to help Lex, and he did. I couldn't have done it without him.
- Jonathan Kent: Clark, you know how dangerous that man is to you.
- Clark Kent: But dad, that's the thing. I think he's changed. And his liver's healed.
- Martha Kent: I thought his condition was terminal.
- Clark Kent: I think something in me actually healed him.
- Jonathan Kent: Clark, does Lionel know about this?
- Clark Kent: No. He actually thinks it's a miracle.
- Martha Kent: It is.
- Clark Kent: Look, I know this sounds crazy, but I really think he has changed. I could see it in his eyes.
- Clark Kent: You were burning evidence, Lex. Not exactly actions of an innocent man.
- Lex Luthor: Come on, Clark! Think about it. If I killed that girl, why would I take a nap next to her body? So the maid could find me? It doesn't make any sense.
- Clark Kent: Neither does breaking into her house, but you did that. You better be honest with me, because right now, I'm an accomplice.
- Lex Luthor: I didn't ask you to show up.
- Lex Luthor: Clark, you know I didn't do this. It's my father trying to get back at me. He knows about all these stalkers. LuthorCorp's lawyers compiled a database of them last year. My father knew Eve would be the perfect victim to make it look like I had motive.
- Clark Kent: I don't think it's your father, Lex. I went to see him. He wants to help.
- Lex Luthor: He was the one who sent you looking for a car, wasn't he?
- Clark Kent: Yes.
- Lex Luthor: You're playing right into his hands.
- Clark Kent: Lex...
- Lex Luthor: You can't straddle the fence on this one, Clark! My father and I are enemies! You have to decide who you really trust.
- Shannon Bell: Corrine? It's the D.A.
- Corinne Hartford: Thank you, Shannon. I'll be right there. You, stay put. It's a media circus out there, and I don't want you saying anything stupid.
- Lex Luthor: Your bedside manner needs work.
- Corinne Hartford: I'm not here to hold you hand, Lex. You want a hug, call your mother.
- [first lines]
- Lex Luthor: What are you listening to?
- Shannon Bell: My favorite song.
- [she hands him an earphone]
- Lex Luthor: What's your name?
- Shannon Bell: Doesn't really matter.
- [last lines]
- Jason Teague: What are you doing here Mother?
- Genevieve Teague: I know you don't want to talk to me Jason, but every mother has a right to see her own son.
- Jason Teague: You didn't come here to see me.
- Genevieve Teague: Is it so terrible to want to meet your girlfriend?
- Jason Teague: It's the way you go about it. I'm not gonna let you do it this time. Because it's different.
- [pause]
- Jason Teague: I will come see you when I'm ready.
- Genevieve Teague: When will that be?
- Jason Teague: I don't know. But you can't come back here.
- Genevieve Teague: I just want you to know, Jason, that I'm really glad that you're happy. Lana is... an enchanting girl. I can see why you moved to the middle of nowhere to be with her. She's... she's special. I knew you'd meet someone like her one day.
- Jason Teague: Did I meet her by accident or not?
- Genevieve Teague: [small chuckle] What on Earth are you implying? Of course you did, Jason. How else could you meet her?
- [she kisses him on the cheek]
- Genevieve Teague: I'll wait to hear from you.
