• Lana Lang Cushing : You okay?

  Kyle Cushing : Yeah.

  [seeing she's not convinced] 

  Kyle Cushing : It's silly, but I don't know, I just... I thought that Edge might have had something for me, you know? Some managerial work or something like that.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I know. But do you really want that? I mean, you love being a fireman, and if I'm getting this promotion, isn't that a win for both of us?

  Kyle Cushing : [hearing the doorbell]  I'll... I'll be right back, baby.

  [opening the front door] 

  Kyle Cushing : Lois. Let me go grab Lana.

  Lois Lane : Actually, Kyle, I was hoping that I could talk to you, too.

  Kyle Cushing : Come on in.

• Lois Lane : This may sound bizarre, but I have reason to believe that Morgan Edge is engaged in both illegal and dangerous activity, and I'm asking for your help to get into the mines so that I can prove it.

  Kyle Cushing : So, let me get this straight. Even though Edge just gave Lana this massive promotion, you want us to go behind his back and help you with a news story.

  Lois Lane : I know it's a big ask.

  Kyle Cushing : It's pretty big, yeah.

  Lois Lane : Listen, I'm not alone in my suspicions. You both know that I know Superman. He's looking into Edge, too.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Superman? What for?

  Lois Lane : I can't tell you that yet.

  Kyle Cushing : Of course you can't.

  Lana Lang Cushing : But does Clark know about this?

  Lois Lane : He doesn't know I'm here, no. I'm just trying to explain...

  Kyle Cushing : Explain what? You-You've got no proof. You got no evidence.

  Lois Lane : Kyle, I would tell you if I could. I am asking you to trust me.

  Kyle Cushing : Oh, okay, you want me to trust you? You know what I should do is I should call Edge and we should get a restraining order.

  Lana Lang Cushing : [knowing that's not helping]  Okay, Kyle, please.

• Kyle Cushing : Oh, Mr. Edge, this is, uh, gonna put a lot of people back on their feet. I cannot thank you enough.

  Morgan Edge : No, no, I'm the one who should be thanking you. All this is possible because of your advocacy, persuading people to give me a shot. In fact, I'd like to capitalize on our momentum.

  Kyle Cushing : Hey, whatever you need, you say the word.

  Morgan Edge : Well, the Smallville team needs a strong leader. And I'd like to fill that role with you, Lana.

  Lana Lang Cushing : With me?

  Morgan Edge : The work you did at the bank with reverse mortgages shows me you're not just highly competent. You also have the people's trust. And I want to use that trust to revitalize Smallville, starting with the community center.

  Kyle Cushing : Yeah.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I'm grateful. I-I... I don't know what to say.

  Morgan Edge : Well, when you see your new starting salary, you'll say yes.

• Kyle Cushing : Listen, I just off the phone with a buddy of mine who hadn't worked in eight months. He's got mouths to feed, Lois. And right now, Edge is the only person that's giving his family a chance to survive.

  Lois Lane : I know it seems like he's helping, but he hasn't...

  Kyle Cushing : No, he is helping. A lot more than you are.

  Lois Lane : [Kyle leaves]  I came to you guys because you're my friends and I need help.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I know I may be biased, but you don't know what it's like to see this town dry up. The things I've seen, foreclosing on people, this is our chance to help. I'm sorry, Lois.

  Lois Lane : Lana, you know that I respect you. So I am telling you, something sinister is going on here. And you might not find out what it is until it's too late. So just be careful.

• Clark Kent : Hey, Lana, sorry. Can I... can I call you back?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Clark, real quick. Did Sarah come to the game?

  Clark Kent : Uh... no, I d... I didn't see her. Why? Is everything okay?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Well, she was supposed to be here with Sophie, and she's not. I-I knew she'd canceled plans about coming to the game. I just thought...

  Kyle Cushing : [showing her footage of the house security system]  Is that that Harris kid?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Oh, my god. Yeah, it is. Clark, I gotta go.

  Jordan Kent : [he hangs up]  What was that?

  Clark Kent : Stay here.

  Jonathan Kent : Everything okay?

  Clark Kent : Stay here.

• Lana Lang Cushing : I had a really good time tonight.

  Kyle Cushing : Well, good, 'cause, uh, that dinner wasn't cheap.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Listen, um... we didn't talk about logistics, with my new hours, how that might affect the kids or how you feel about it.

  Kyle Cushing : Whatever we got to do, we're gonna do, okay?

  Lana Lang Cushing : I know. But...

  Kyle Cushing : No, there's no buts. Yeah, maybe I'm a little disappointed, but it's fine.

  Lana Lang Cushing : You saw Morgan Edge as an opportunity before anybody. Of course you should be rewarded for that. He's an idiot if he can't see that.

  Kyle Cushing : Whoa, whoa, he is not an idiot, okay? He promoted you, after all, right? Listen, babe, you got to know I'm real proud of you. I mean, you are the brains of this family, after all. We all know that. You deserve to be happy.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I'm happy.

  Kyle Cushing : Well, good. Then whatever comes next, I think we will handle it...

  Lana Lang Cushing : Mm-hmm.

  Kyle Cushing : [kissing]  Together.

• Sophie Cushing : Did you get me dessert?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Oh, sweets, it's way past your bedtime.

  Kyle Cushing : Where is your sister?

  Sophie Cushing : I think she's in her room.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Yeah. Go check. Come here.

  Kyle Cushing : [going and returning]  No.

  Lana Lang Cushing : It's not like Sarah to just leave.

  Kyle Cushing : I'm gonna check the security cam footage.
