Quotes 

• Professor Peterson : Do you remember those meter fragments I had a while back? The ones you threw into outer space?

  Superboy : How could I forget? Every time I got near them, I felt like I was dying.

  Professor Peterson : [unveiling a laser]  Well, before we disposed of them, I managed to isolate some of the unique radiation that proved to be so... so deadly to you.

  [putting his arm in place] 

  Professor Peterson : Now, hold it right there.

  Superboy : This is going to hurt, isn't it?

  Professor Peterson : [turning it on]  It might.

  Superboy : Nothing.

  Professor Peterson : [increasing the intensity]  Just wait.

  [after a moment, Superboy groans in pain] 

  Professor Peterson : Ah, don't move. Don't... don't touch it.

  Superboy : [watching him take a skin sample]  I guess it worked.

  Professor Peterson : [amused laugh]  I think that's a fair assumption.

• Jonathan Kent : Well, looks like college agrees with you, son.

  Clark Kent : How's Ma?

  Jonathan Kent : She took a nasty fall. She didn't break any bones or anything, but it sure slows her down quite a bit. She wouldn't hear of me staying home with her. No, she said I've been looking forward to this trip for too long.

  Clark Kent : S-She's not in any pain, is she, Pa?

  Jonathan Kent : No, the only pain she's in is that she can't be here with us.

  Clark Kent : I tell you, I miss her. I miss both of you.

  Jonathan Kent : Hey, stop that kind of talk or I'll start blubbering like a newborn calf.

  Clark Kent : Pa, since when do newborn calves blubber?

  Jonathan Kent : Well, I don't... it's something I just made up, that's all.

• Superboy : I tried to tell you, professor, it's the way I am.

  Professor Peterson : The term is "invulnerable." But if I don't get some kind of sample, we'll never determine what you're made of.
