Inde Navarrette: Sarah Cushing
Quotes
-
Jordan Kent : I'm so sorry.
Sarah Cushing : I had to see him. I had to understand, but now it's like, I don't even know what that was.
Jordan Kent : I think a lot of really smart people are trying to figure that out right now.
Sarah Cushing : Last night, that... that was my dad. I know that was my dad, but I was awful to him. I guess that could be the last time I ever see my dad. Was calling my dad drunk gonna be the last thing I ever say to him? I need him back.
Jordan Kent : We're just gonna have to hold onto hope.
-
Sarah Cushing : You finally kick him out?
Lana Lang Cushing : Sarah, it's not what it looks like. He wasn't at the bars.
Sarah Cushing : Really? 'Cause this is how things normally go down. Just as it seems like Dad's gonna change, he decides getting drunk is more important than being with his family.
Lana Lang Cushing : That's not what happened.
Sarah Cushing : Why do you always cover for him?
Lana Lang Cushing : I'm not covering for him.
Sarah Cushing : Yes, you are.
Lana Lang Cushing : You know what, honey? I really can't do this right now.
Sarah Cushing : Of course you can't, 'cause you just can't accept the reality that your husband is not the guy that you married anymore.
Lana Lang Cushing : Enough. You don't know what you're talking about, and I don't need a teenager telling me what to do.
Sarah Cushing : Fine.
[leaving]
Sarah Cushing : Teenager. What do you know?

Jonathan Kent : Sarah, the truth about your dad is that he is really messed up.
Sarah Cushing : Yeah, Jon, I know.
Jonathan Kent : No, not from drinking. Morgan Edge did something to him. And this... this is gonna sound nuts, but he's basically been body-snatched.
Sarah Cushing : Body snatched?
Jonathan Kent : Look, these military guys showing up, they're-they're from the DOD. It's a threat reduction agency headed by our grandpa to keep the Earth safe from aliens, and these scientists, they're-they're looking at your dad right now trying to help him, but I-I honestly... I don't even think that they're totally clear on what's going on. Right? So it's... it's not their fault, it's not his fault, and, Sarah, it's definitely not your mom's fault.
Jordan Kent : Maybe you should go see for yourself.
-
DoD Guard #1 : You're not authorized to go in.
Jordan Kent : This is his daughter. How much authorization do you need?
DoD Guard #1 : We've been through this already. I need you to vacate the premises.
Jonathan Kent : O-Or what? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna shoot us?
Sarah Cushing : Guys, maybe we should just try again later.
Jonathan Kent : No, we are going in whether GI Jerk-Nuts here wants us to or not.
-
Sarah Cushing : I knew my dad was a disaster. I guess I just didn't want to admit the extent of it.
Jordan Kent : Sarah, I'm so sorry.
Sarah Cushing : Why should you be sorry? I'm not sorry. It's better to know, right? Even if my mom's in total denial.
Jonathan Kent : Maybe you should go a little easier on your mom.
Sarah Cushing : Why? Nothing's gonna change if my mom doesn't do something. My dad's a disaster, and all my mom's doing is getting her black belt in passive-aggressive texting.

Sarah Cushing : Dad?
[Kyle doesn't respond]
Sarah Cushing : I don't get it. You said that there'd been some kind of...
Kyle Cushing : [recognizing Jonathan, he gets to his feet] You. You think your little toys can stop us?
Sarah Cushing : Dad!
Kyle Cushing : Dad? Oh, Daddy doesn't exist anymore. He's a screaming corpse. Ashes on the pyre.
Jordan Kent : [leading her out] Hey, Sarah, let's... let's just get out of here. Hey, hey, hey, come on, come on, come on.
Kyle Cushing : [Jonathan turns to follow them] Hey. When I get out of here, I'm gonna kill you first.

Jordan Kent : About last night and the performance, I'm so sorry I didn't make it.
Sarah Cushing : It was because of this, wasn't it?
Jordan Kent : Yeah.
Sarah Cushing : I feel like such a jerk, Jordan. All this weirdness with you, and now it makes sense. I mean, you knew about all of this, and you had to keep it a secret.
Jordan Kent : You know, I'm actually really glad that your dad was there instead of me. You guys got to have that together. It's a great memory to hold onto.
