Kyle Schmid: Sebastian Kane

Quotes 

• Sebastian Kane : Have you ever had your palms read?

  Lois Lane : I don't do too well with fortune-tellers. The last one I went to see told me that I was destined to fall for a guy who flies a lot and likes to wear tights. So I'm just waiting for my cross-dressing pilot to make his landing.

• Sebastian Kane : Who are you?

  Chloe Sullivan : I thought you might like a visitor... Wilson.

  Sebastian Kane : How do you know me?

  Chloe Sullivan : I was in that facility with you. I know all about your ability to read people like Braille. Now, tell me. That man who stopped you the other night; how much of his story did you get through?

  Sebastian Kane : Let's just say he shouldn't have touched me. Guys like him belong in places like Black Creek. Why were you in there? You don't seem so special.

  Chloe Sullivan : [taking off her gloves]  You know, the human mind is simply a highly sophisticated computer. Download too much information, and it crashes. And all the data's lost.

  Sebastian Kane : What's that supposed to mean?

  Chloe Sullivan : [grabbing his wrist]  Here. Let me show you.

• Lois Lane : Any big investigations? You know, where you went deep undercover with a drug lord or crime family or maximum-security prison?

  Sebastian Kane : Okay, bullets flying over my head is one thing, but stick me in a tiny, little cell, no, thank you. Claustrophobia's a bitch.

  Lois Lane : So, you've never, you know, seen the inside of a big government facility? 'Cause that would be a great exposé waiting to happen.

  Sebastian Kane : You want to hear about the last time I was in a big government facility? I think I was in high school. That's about as close to prison as it gets.

• Sebastian Kane : I'm Sebastian Kane, new City reporter.

  [shaking hands, he sees a memory of her on the phone] 

  Lois Lane : Well, if you like covering robbery and homicide, you've come to the right place. The crime rate's so high, there's actually a "no vacancy" sign in front of county jail.

• Tess Mercer : So, did Lane steal that crystal?

  Sebastian Kane : It takes a little more than a handshake.

  Tess Mercer : Well, then I guess you're gonna have to get a little more intimate.

  Sebastian Kane : It's already in the works, but not under your employment. I'm done being your personal peeping Tom.

  Tess Mercer : Hmm. For a memory thief, your own recall is surprisingly spotty. Do I need to remind you that I'm the one that released you from Black Creek? That without me, you'd still be staring at four gray walls, waiting in vain for your freedom.

  Sebastian Kane : That favor's been repaid three different times. This woman Lois, she's a good person. I'm not gonna steal her memories.

  Tess Mercer : That's unfortunate. Because I'm one of the few people that know what a sick, voyeuristic predator you really are; about the women that you stalked and killed before you ended up in Black Creek.

  Sebastian Kane : Those things I did... that was before I could control my abilities. I want a fresh start.

  Tess Mercer : You'll get it. You will. When you find me that crystal. Or I'll have to place a call to my friends in law enforcement. Tell them about the trail of bodies in your wake.

• Lois Lane : I swear. Ask anyone. I know how to keep a secret.

  Sebastian Kane : You recognized me at the Daily Planet.

  Lois Lane : And I can just as easily forget. I have a terrible memory. You can trust me.

  Sebastian Kane : [taking the flash drive]  There's one thing you learn when you get locked up in a cage for four years. That is, you don't... trust... anybody.

• Lois Lane : Well, then, thanks for dinner. Now you'll be able to make it across town without a tour book in your hand.

  Sebastian Kane : Hey, you said you had that extra transit map. Why don't I come up and get it? We can have a nightcap.

  Lois Lane : I like nightcaps, but unfortunately, I'm on a lethal deadline. I have to proofread a 5,000-worder due at dawn.

  Sebastian Kane : I'm a hell of a speller. Why don't I come up and give you a hand?

  Lois Lane : Thanks, but, uh, spell-check is actually my best friend. See ya manana.

  [as she heads to her apartment, she's attacked from behind] 

  Sebastian Kane : [holding her at gunpoint]  No one can know who I am. I need that flash drive.

• Sebastian Kane : So, there's bombs going off everywhere. The soldier next to me gets shot. So the lieutenant turns to me, grabs my notebook, Frisbees it out the Humvee window, and sticks an M16 in my hand.

  Lois Lane : Wait a minute. I thought you said your notebook made it all the way to Baghdad and back.

  Sebastian Kane : It did. Once the smoke cleared, I walked about a mile and a half to go find it.
