Quotes 

• Lana Lang : My mom was a cheerleader, so was my aunt. Figured it was time to break the vicious cycle.

• Clark Kent : Oh yeah. Joined the football team and poured some coffee. We're a couple of real rebels.

  Lana Lang : Long live the revolution.

• Clark Kent : What are you working on?

  Lex Luthor : Oh. I'm trying to figure out which poor bastard should get the ax. My father wants me to cut 20% of my workforce.

  Clark Kent : Any way around it?

  Lex Luthor : Once my father's made his mind up, he's not easy to turn around.

  Lana Lang : If it makes you guys feel any better, you should have seen the look on my aunt's face when I took this job. Not that I was eavesdropping or anything.

  Clark Kent : I guess we're all in the same boat.

  Lex Luthor : No, no, you both stood your ground and are doing what you want. I caved. You two have inspired me.

• Lana Lang : I heard about the coach. Pretty weird.

  Clark Kent : He won his 200th game and didn't even see it.

  Lana Lang : Are you gonna play next season?

  Clark Kent : I don't know if football's for me. I mean, my dad played, my granddad played. I think it's time to break the vicious cycle.

  Lana Lang : Pretty short career. Why the change of heart?

  Clark Kent : I don't know. Guess I got out on the field and realized my reason for playing was gone.

  Lana Lang : I'm sorry to hear that.

  Clark Kent : Who said life was fair?

  Lana Lang : Gonna be okay?

  Clark Kent : Sometimes I just wanna scream.

  Lana Lang : Why don't we?

  Clark Kent : Why don't we what?

  Lana Lang : Scream. I'm game if you are.

  Clark Kent : [looking around]  You serious?

  Lana Lang : Why not?

• Clark Kent : Hey, thought you were working.

  Lana Lang : I got let go. Apparently, I'm not waitress material.

  Clark Kent : Sorry. How'd your aunt take it?

  Lana Lang : She said that it was a sign that I should seriously reconsider cheerleading.

  Clark Kent : [amused]  Parents. What are you gonna do?

• Clark Kent : [surprised to see Lana working at a cafe]  Lana, what are you doing here?

  Lana Lang : Taking your order, I hope.

  Chloe Sullivan : Wha-wha... what is this? Some sort of, like, a cheerleading charity? Like, "be a waitress for a night" sort of thing?

  Lana Lang : Yes, it is, except for the cheerleading and charity parts. And tips are always appreciated.

  Clark Kent : So, you're a waitress for real?

  Lana Lang : Even got the perky nametag to prove it.

• Nell Potter : Lana, you're home early. Did they cancel cheerleading practice?

  Lana Lang : Sort of. I quit.

  Nell Potter : You loved being on the squad. What happened?

  Lana Lang : I just think there's more to life than memorizing cheers and shaking pom-poms.

  Nell Potter : You just decided this out of the blue?

  Lana Lang : Some of the football players were caught cheating. Guys I know. I told Whitney how upset it made me. He said it was no big deal, that people aren't perfect. I thought "Why am I doing this? Wearing a fake smile and stupid outfit for people who will do anything to win a game?".

  Nell Potter : Well, you can't let a couple of bad apples spoil the experience. You're part of a team. You're making friends.

  Lana Lang : Aunt Nell, I don't wanna go back. I wanna try different things. What's wrong with that?

  Nell Potter : Nothing. It's just that you're on a good track. I want you to be happy.

• Clark Kent : You know, it's amazing, the same day I make the team, you quit the squad. I was just hoping we'd see more of each other.

  Lana Lang : I have four shifts a week. You can stop by anytime you like.

• Lex Luthor : Lana. What happened? Did Nell put you out on the street?

  Lana Lang : I decided to join the workforce.

  Lex Luthor : Good for you. I'm sure you'll be employee of the month in no time.

  Lana Lang : Right now, I hold the record for most dishes broken in a single day.

  Lex Luthor : Better bring my cappuccino in a Styrofoam cup, then.
