• Lana Lang Cushing : Oh, hey, Clark. Jordan's out back with Sarah.

  Clark Kent : Oh, no, actually I'm just, uh, here for the open house. I'm not too late, am I?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Uh, no, of course not. Um, come right in.

  Clark Kent : Oh, thanks. Thanks.

  Lana Lang Cushing : [roleplaying a hostess]  So, what brings you to Smallville?

  Clark Kent : Oh, you know, I grew up here.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Oh, you did?

  Clark Kent : Yeah. Yeah. Loved it. Really. You know, great town, better people. Met my best friend here.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Well, he must be very lucky.

  Clark Kent : Uh, she. She. And, uh, believe me, I'm the lucky one. Although it, uh, kinda feels like she's been avoiding me lately.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I know. I'm sorry, Clark. It's just, every time I see you, I'm reminded of all that I'm losing.

  Clark Kent : Maybe it's a sign you should stay.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Listen, when you left, I would've done anything to keep you here, but you needed a fresh start, and that's what we need, too.

  Clark Kent : Yeah. I was a kid then, and you've been here your whole life. And now that my mom's gone, you're the heart of Smallville. You are.

  Lana Lang Cushing : But Smallville's gone. People around here used to look out for each other. After what Edge did, that trust, gone.

  Clark Kent : So stay and help rebuild it.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I'm sorry, Clark. I really am. We've made up our minds.

• Kyle Cushing : Hey, babe. So, uh, I'm gonna swing by the station real quick and, uh, pack up my stuff. Should be home in time to put the ribs on.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Do you think that we're making a mistake?

  Kyle Cushing : What, eating baby backs?

  Lana Lang Cushing : Leaving Smallville? I mean, do you think we're giving up too easily?

  Kyle Cushing : Is that what Clark said?

  Lana Lang Cushing : I just... I don't want us to rush into a decision that we're gonna regret later.

  Kyle Cushing : I don't think we have much of a choice. Folks 'round here kind of forced our hand.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Not everybody's out to get us, Kyle.

  Kyle Cushing : All right, look, I am very appreciative of everything that the Kents have done for us. They've been solid, but, Lana, their friendship isn't gonna put food on the table.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I know. It's just hard.

  Kyle Cushing : Yeah, I know. But, hey, as long as I got you, doesn't matter where we live. Okay, so, you and me, we... we can make any place home, all right?

• Kyle Cushing : So, uh, girls, we, um, we have some news.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Uh, your dad just got a job offer.

  Sarah Cushing : Doing what?

  Kyle Cushing : Still fighting fires, just... just in a different city.

  Lana Lang Cushing : The job's in Bristol County.

  Sarah Cushing : That's, like, two hours away.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Which is why we're gonna have to move to make it work.

  Sarah Cushing : But I thought you said that the offer on the house was super low.

  Kyle Cushing : It was, but look, Sarah, this... this is a great opportunity. Their fire chief is gettin' ready to retire, which means I can just step right on in and... and help with the transition.

  Sarah Cushing : Do you even hear yourself? After all you said about people abandoning Smallville, the minute it gets hard, you guys are gonna run?

  Kyle Cushing : Come on, Sarah. That's not fair.

  Sarah Cushing : You're so full of crap.

  Kyle Cushing : Hey.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Honey, is this about Jordan?

  Sarah Cushing : No. No. It's about the fact that my parents are lying hypocrites.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Hey, this isn't easy for anyone.

  Kyle Cushing : Look, we are just simply trying to do what's best for our family.

  Sarah Cushing : Maybe you're not qualified to make that decision. I mean, it was you who kissed Morgan Edge's ass to come here in the first place.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Hey, do not blame your father for any of this.

  Sarah Cushing : I blame you, too!

  [leaving] 

  Sarah Cushing : You guys are so freaking stupid.

• Lana Lang Cushing : How did it go at the station?

  Kyle Cushing : Um... well, I was... I was talking to Tamera, and, uh, she got me thinking that, I don't know, maybe you're right. You know, maybe... maybe this isn't the right call.

  Lana Lang Cushing : I mean, we've built so much here. It's scary to think of walking away from all this.
