Quotes 

• Davis Bloome : I've always felt like... kind of like there was this darkness inside me... just fighting to get out.

• Clark Kent : Collecting pictures of all the murder victims is a pretty strange habit. isnt it?

  Davis Bloome : Do you know how many murders in this city go unsolved every year? I show up, I take away the bodies, case closed. Maybe I want to do more than just clean up the mess after it's too late.

  Clark Kent : Now the whole city refers to you as a hero, huh? Maybe I'd have an easier time believing all this if there was proof that that's actually what happened.

  Davis Bloome : Okay, you know what... I understand if you don't want to join the knee-jerk ticker-tape parade, but let me ask you a question. Are you really up in my face because you're trying to catch a killer, or is it because you're trying to hide something yourself?

  Clark Kent : Don't try to turn this around on me.

  Davis Bloome : Then why don't you take a second look at those photos? I'm not the only one that's hanging out at these crime scenes. There's another figure in the background. You seem to be the city's own peeping Tom.

  Clark Kent : I'm a reporter. It's my job!

  Davis Bloome : These photos were taken before any press could have made it to the scene. So, uh, next time you feel anxious to shine a light on things that don't make sense... you might want to stay closer to home.

• Chloe Sullivan : Davis, I know that you are not responsible for these killings. Hey, I know you. You save people every day. What could make you think that you were a brutal serial killer?

  Davis Bloome : Chloe, I've run the self-denial mantra for weeks, but how do you explain the blackouts? How do you explain that I was covered in blood, none of it was mine. I wanna believe that you're right more than anyone, but...

  Chloe Sullivan : Then it's just a matter of finding the real killer.

  Davis Bloome : You really don't believe that it could be me, do you?

  Chloe Sullivan : [firmly]  No.

  Davis Bloome : Even though we just met? You're really... leaping out on a limb for me?

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, if what they say is true and fools do rush in, then I have definitely earned the mantle of village idiot on this one.

  Davis Bloome : And then you just toss it all aside with a healthy dose of self-deprecation.

  Chloe Sullivan : Please don't make me a saint.

• Clark Kent : You know, Davis, it took a lot to go into that room full of screaming people. Who knows what you could have been running into?

  Davis Bloome : Yeah, well, I suppose it should be somewhat comforting to know that good gossip spreads just as fast as bad.

  Clark Kent : So you didn't save those people?

  Davis Bloome : Haven't we been over this? I'm not some larger-than-life hero. The truth is, I don't know what happened.

  Clark Kent : But you know more than what you've told me, don't you?

  Davis Bloome : I don't fish much, Clark, so why don't you just tell me what the hell you're after?

• Davis Bloome : I don't know how to thank you for believing in me when I was up against the ropes.

  Chloe Sullivan : We all need someone to pitch a seat in our corner.

  Davis Bloome : Yeah, I guess, but most of the time it's not a possible murder suspect standing there.

  Chloe Sullivan : Davis, you were scared and paranoid. That's all. Seriously, backing someone who's actually innocent isn't much of a sacrifice. Besides, e-everything with you is so...

  Davis Bloome : So easy.

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, easy.

  Davis Bloome : Have you ever felt that way with anyone before?

  Chloe Sullivan : Once.

  Davis Bloome : With Jimmy.

  Chloe Sullivan : No.

  Davis Bloome : Look, Chloe, I'm not trying to get between you and the rest of your life, but, uh...

  Chloe Sullivan : Davis, I help people. That's what I do. You know, this doesn't have to mean any more than that.

  Davis Bloome : Yeah, but it does. Did you help me because of some personal code of ethics or was there more to it than that?

  Chloe Sullivan : I shouldn't be here right now.

  Davis Bloome : Why? Because you feel guilty about something?

  Chloe Sullivan : No. And I'd like it to stay that way. I think it's best if I don't see you for a while. Sorry.
