Quotes
-
Clark Kent : I've been having this dream all week. I'm flying over Smallville. I always end up at the cave. It's like it's calling out to me. Like it's trying to give me answers.
Martha Kent : Answers to what, Clark?
Clark Kent : I'm not sure. In my dream, I take the key and I put it in the slot in the cave wall. Then there's this bright light.
Martha Kent : And?
Clark Kent : I don't know. That's when I wake up.
Jonathan Kent : Clark... dreaming about putting that key in a rock wall is one thing, but we have absolutely no idea what would happen if you actually did that.
Clark Kent : These dreams are getting more intense every night. Who knows where I'll wake up tomorrow?
Jonathan Kent : It's too dangerous, Clark.
Clark Kent : Dad, that cave could have all the answers I'm looking for. Why are you so afraid to let me find out?
-
Jonathan Kent : [catching Clark sneaking into the house] Where have you been, Clark?
Martha Kent : We've been looking all over for you.
Clark Kent : [heading upstairs] I've been out.
Jonathan Kent : Hey. Hey, son. What is going on with you? You've been acting strange all week. It's like your mind's somewhere else. What's up?
Clark Kent : [reluctantly] When I woke up this morning, I was in the middle of Route 8.
Martha Kent : How did you get there?
Clark Kent : I don't know. Lex almost hit me with his car. He gave me a ride home.
Jonathan Kent : Lex.
Clark Kent : I told him I was sleepwalking, but I'm not sure how much walking was involved.
-
Jonathan Kent : [after Clark accidentally burns a Kryptonian symbol into the barn door] Well, that ought to keep the looky-loos away. At least 'til I have a chance to patch it up better.
Clark Kent : A couple of boards aren't gonna be able to cover up anything anymore. Especially after Chloe publishes her pictures.
Martha Kent : Well, I-I think I convinced her it was a prank. You can't beat yourself up about this. Your abilities are still developing. You can't always control them.
Clark Kent : There's nothing uncontrolled about that drawing. It's a symbol from wherever I'm from. It means hope.
Martha Kent : How do you know that? Since when can you read the symbols?
Clark Kent : Since I put the key in the cave wall.
Jonathan Kent : Wait a minute. Since you did what?
-
Martha Kent : Where is the key now?
Clark Kent : I don't know. When I put the key in the wall, there was... there was a blinding light and I blacked out.
Martha Kent : Are you all right?
Clark Kent : Yeah, it didn't hurt me. But everything's jumbled up. It's like it downloaded me with the language from the cave wall.
Jonathan Kent : Did anybody see you?
Clark Kent : I don't think so, but Lex and Dr. Walden found me. I don't think they have the key. I think it disintegrated.
Jonathan Kent : You're not 100% sure?
[sharing a look with Martha]
Jonathan Kent : Clark, we understand you wanting to know more about your origins, but you're putting your own life in danger here.
Clark Kent : Some things are worth the risk.
Jonathan Kent : Like what?
Clark Kent : Like the truth.
-
Martha Kent : Clark, we're not trying to keep you from learning about your past. We just don't wanna see you get hurt, either.
Clark Kent : I've got all these questions, and I can't leave them in the storm cellar anymore. Why did my parents put me in that ship? What was so bad they had to send me away? I have to do this.
Jonathan Kent : Then let's go together. We'll go as a family.
Clark Kent : Dad, I have to go alone. It's the only way.
[Martha takes his hand]
Clark Kent : No matter what I find out, it is not gonna change the way I feel about you. You're still gonna be my mom and dad.
-
Jonathan Kent : Clark, this whole thing is very suspicious.
Clark Kent : He could give me some answers. He knows how to read the language.
Jonathan Kent : According to you, he does. And how do we know that you're even reading it right? We have no idea what that cave did to you, son.
Clark Kent : Mom, help me out here.
Martha Kent : Clark, we don't know anything about this Dr. Swann.
Jonathan Kent : For all we know, the whole thing could be an elaborate plan just to get to you.
Clark Kent : Now you're just being paranoid. Did you ever think for a second that maybe he just wanted to help?
