John Schneider: Jonathan Kent

Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : So, Clark, tell me: how's football practice going?

  Clark Kent : It's actually not going so good. Some of the guys have been giving me a hard time since they found out I was starting. Missing my passes...

  Jonathan Kent : Nobody said it was gonna be easy.

  Clark Kent : The frustrating part is I could score every time.

  Jonathan Kent : Clark... we talked about that whole thing, remember? The football field is not a place for you to be using your powers to save the day.

  Clark Kent : I just said it was frustrating.

  Jonathan Kent : Look, son, if you're gonna be the quarterback, then you have to be the leader. Of course a bunch of the guys are gonna wanna challenge that. Especially if they don't think you deserve it. Same thing happened to me.

  Clark Kent : I thought your team worshiped the ground you walked on.

  Jonathan Kent : Well... not when I was a sophomore, they didn't. See, the coach made me starting quarterback; bunch of the seniors didn't like that very much.

  Clark Kent : What'd you do?

  Jonathan Kent : I earned their respect.
