Quotes 

• Greg Arkin : I have no rules, Clark. I eat what I want, I go where I want, and I take what I want.

  Clark Kent : [points to Lana]  You're not taking her.

  Greg Arkin : Well then try and stop me.

  Clark Kent : You're not the only one who's changed.

• Mrs. Arkin : Is this what you do with your time now, Greg?

  Greg Arkin : Where did you get those?

  Mrs. Arkin : Where do you think? In that hole you call a room.

  Greg Arkin : You had no right to go in there.

  Mrs. Arkin : You've got a lot of nerve talking to me about privacy. I am in the garden club with Lana's aunt. How am I gonna face Nell, knowing that my own son is creeping around videotaping her niece?

• Mrs. Arkin : What the hell has gotten into you?

  Greg Arkin : About two million years of intelligence and instinct.

  Mrs. Arkin : You stop this. Stop this right now.

  Greg Arkin : I can't. See, it's too late. Nature's already taken its course. First I'll eat... then I'll molt. Then I'll mate.

  Mrs. Arkin : You need help.

  Greg Arkin : [she whimpers as she blocks her effort to leave]  Hey, mom... did I ever tell you about the Farrow spider? It's a fascinating creature. You see, after it hatches, it kills its mother.

• Greg Arkin : Hey, Lana, I was wondering if you could help me with my Lit paper?

  Lana Lang : Nathanael West assignment giving you brain freeze?

  Greg Arkin : Yeah, it's kicking my ass.

  Lana Lang : Sure, okay.

  Greg Arkin : Great. How about my house, after school?

  Lana Lang : Library might be easier.

• Greg Arkin : Do you know the average butterfly only lives for eight hours?

  Lana Lang : Live fast, die young. They're the rock stars of the insect world.

• Whitney Fordman : Hey, bug boy, do me a favor and quit tailing my girlfriend.

  Greg Arkin : You afraid of a little competition, Whitney?

  Whitney Fordman : We're not in competition, Greg. But if I find out you've been leaving butterflies in my girlfriend's bedroom... you'll know about it.

  Greg Arkin : [to himself, as Whitney leaves]  Yeah, well, just remember... sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

• Greg Arkin : I thought you'd forgotten. I've been waiting for, like, an hour.

  [she looks at him in confusion] 

  Greg Arkin : You remember, the English paper?

  Lana Lang : Sorry, Greg, something really important came up. Can we do it some other time?

  Greg Arkin : [stopping her as she turns to leave]  Hey! Are you blowing me off for your boyfriend?

  Lana Lang : I'm not blowing you off. I need to see Clark.

  Greg Arkin : Kent? So you'd rather spend time with him? Is he more important than me?

  Lana Lang : Greg, I can't talk about this right now. I have to go.

• Clark Kent : Greg, I know what's happened to you.

  Greg Arkin : Well, then you know that I've been freed.

  Clark Kent : No, you haven't. You're a slave to your instincts.
