Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : You know, I've been thinking a lot about this prophecy. I've got a new interpretation. Want to hear it?

  Clark Kent : Sure.

  Lex Luthor : This Naman guy is supposed to come from the stars, have the power of ten men, and shoot fire from his eyes, right?

  Clark Kent : It's just an allegory, Lex.

  Lex Luthor : I know. But if one person could do all that, he would be a formidable enemy. He could conquer the world. He could become a tyrant if nobody kept him in check. So I've been thinking. Anybody who'd be willing to fight him would have to be pretty brave. Clark, did it ever occur to you that maybe the hero of the story... is Segeeth?

• Clark Kent : According to Chloe's sources, the doctors at Belle Reve think that Jeremiah may never come out of his coma. I guess having all those abilities really took at toll on his body.

  Jonathan Kent : Well, son, at least we know that the knife won't ever hurt you or anybody else again.

  Clark Kent : It also means the prophecy came true. The blade glowed and then disintegrated when they touched it, which means either Lionel or Lex is my greatest enemy.

  Martha Kent : Did you see which one grabbed it first?

  Clark Kent : [shakes his head]  No. But I don't need a blade to tell me that Lionel Luthor's a bad person.

  Martha Kent : If you're going to believe this legend, you have to face the possibility that it could be Lex.

  Clark Kent : I'm not ready to do that.

  Jonathan Kent : Clark, the Kawatche think that you're a savior. Jor-El wants you to be a conqueror. Now, knife or not, you can't let other people tell you what to be.

  Clark Kent : Who do you think I'll become?

  Jonathan Kent : I don't know. You could be the worlds greatest hero, or it's most mild-mannered citizen, but the only person who can write your story, is you.
