Sam Jones III: Pete Ross

Quotes 

• Pete Ross : Then why don't you ask some other girl out?

  Clark Kent : Like who?

  Pete Ross : Like Chloe?

  Chloe Sullivan : Okay, wait! I'm not some crash test dummy you guys can use to try out your dating skills.

  [to Clark] 

  Chloe Sullivan : You, if you like Lana so much, why don't you just ask her out and get it over with.

  [to Pete] 

  Chloe Sullivan : And you, stop acting like a Vegas bookie picks your dates. And both of you, treat me better.

• Chloe Sullivan : Wait, let me get this straight. You walked in to get a cappuccino and walked out with a date with Lana Lang.

  Clark Kent : Well, it's not actually a date.

  Chloe Sullivan : Even with the "just as friends" rider, I'm impressed.

  Pete Ross : How did you score the tickets?

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm guessing a certain follically-challenged individual was behind it.

  Clark Kent : Lex hooked me up. Actually, Chloe, I have you to thank.

  Chloe Sullivan : What did I do?

  Clark Kent : Well, you were right. I just had to get it out there.

• Pete Ross : Shouldn't you be fifth-row center right about now?

  Lana Lang : Hey, Pete.

  Pete Ross : Where's Clark?

  Lana Lang : I don't know. He saw that news report about Jenna and he suddenly said he had to run off.

  Pete Ross : I heard that, too. I always that Sean was a good guy. I guess we don't know people as well as we think.

  Lana Lang : You've been friends with Clark for a long time. Is he always so...

  Pete Ross : Clark-like? Sometimes he's totally there and you think you know everything about him, and then there's this part that's...

  Lana Lang : Mysterious.

  Pete Ross : Yeah, that's it. Clark Kent, international man of mystery.

  Lana Lang : Well, whatever it was seemed important.

  Pete Ross : I can't believe there's anything more important to him than you.

• Clark Kent : So, did Sean call?

  Chloe Sullivan : Negative. Not that I was waiting by the phone or anything.

  Pete Ross : Maybe he got caught up. One time, my sister didn't hear from a guy for a week. When she called to tell him off, turned out his grandmother died.

  Chloe Sullivan : Uh, as much as I appreciate the spotlight here, I'm fine.

  Clark Kent : Well, you're probably better off. Sean's a total dog, anyway.

  Pete Ross : He's not that bad, Clark. He's always been cool to me. Just because you can't get past your Lana crush, don't knock the rest of us for trying to make a love connection.

  Chloe Sullivan : I thought we were focusing on me here.

• Clark Kent : You okay?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. The memorial service is tomorrow. Just thinking how that could have been me. All because some guy expressed a modicum of interest in me. I thought I was stronger than that.

  Clark Kent : Everybody's searching for their soulmate, Chloe. It's not a sign of weakness.

  Pete Ross : I can't believe both your dates went straight to hell and I ended up with the limo.

  Clark Kent : How was that?

  Pete Ross : It was sweet. I've already hooked up with another date for next weekend.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm swearing off men.

  Clark Kent : They're not all bad.

  Pete Ross : [playfully poking her]  Maybe you should just swear off heat-sucking horn dogs.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, well, the next time a guy asks me out, I'm definitely doing an in-depth background check.
