Quotes[]
- Lex Luthor: I may have tracked you around the globe, but clearly you're not a native. Where are you from and why did you only replicate Clark?
- Bizarro: Now you got a decision to make, Lex. What's more important? Destroying me or solving the mystery of Clark Kent?
....
- Clark Kent: When you left here, you were hurt pretty badly. How did you heal so fast?
- John Jones: I just had to leave the Earth's atmosphere. But in my absence, it appeared you did exactly what Jor-El was trying to prevent.
- Clark Kent: I unleashed a carbon-copy of myself. Only without my...
- John Jones: Humanity.
- Clark Kent: What was I supposed to do, let him kill every host he inhabited?
- John Jones: That is one of the hardest trials you will face, Kal-El. While your humanity is your greatest strength, it is also your greatest vulnerability.
- Clark Kent: Well it's part of who I am. And it's who I want to be. I'm proud I was raised to care for people. And I'm not going to apologize for it anymore.
- John Jones: I know. But this creature was discarded at birth as a poor imitation. He was shown no compassion, no conscience. Therefore, he has none. He knows only one thing--survival.
- Clark Kent: How do I stop someone who has all my powers and none of my weaknesses?
- John Jones: By opening your eyes to what you take for granted every day. Your faith in humans is not the only thing that gives you strength.
- Clark Kent: Yellow sun.
....
- Clark Kent: Chloe, when I heard about Lana, I went to find Lex. And I wasn't gonna let him leave there alive. The irony is I think it was the first time I ever really understood Lex. Loving someone is hard. It's difficult. But hate... hate is so... clean.
- Chloe Sullivan: Maybe you need to feel this right now. I mean, anger is a natural human emotion.
- Clark Kent: Well, that's just it. 'Cause when that phantom was trying to kill me and I was staring into my own eyes, I saw the monster that I could become if I wanted to. It was a reminder that I am not human.
- Chloe Sullivan: Tell that to every person you've ever saved. Clark, whether you wanna see it or not, you're one of us now. And the fact you're from a galaxy far, far away just... adds character. And you know I'm here, no matter what side of nature or nurture happens to be winning out.
- Clark Kent: It goes both ways, Chloe.
