Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : I want you to go back and save Jimmy. Take the ring and stop him from being killed.

  Clark Kent : You can't ask me to.

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark, you said that your soul purpose for giving everything up is so that you can dedicate your life for helping people. So, help him, Clark. Save him.

  Clark Kent : That would be changing destiny.

  Chloe Sullivan : Whose destiny? Not Jimmy's. You and I both know that. He didn't deserve to die, Clark. He died because you and I screwed up, because we made a mistake. Now you have to fix it!

  Clark Kent : I'm not a god! And the last time I tried to rewrite fate, my own father died. He died right here in my arms because of me.

  Chloe Sullivan : [voice breaks]  I've given up so much for you, Clark. This is the only thing I've asked for you. Please? Please to this for me. Please save Jimmy.

  Clark Kent : I can't.

  Chloe Sullivan : That's good. It's good that your embracing your Kryptonian side. There isn't really anything human left in you.

• Clark Kent : You followed Lois from the future to come after me. Why?

  Alia : Because you betrayed us.

• Chloe Sullivan : Who was she?

  Clark Kent : I don't know. I have a feeling I'm gonna find out. She was from Krypton.

  Chloe Sullivan : Krypton? I don't understand. What was she doing here? What did she say?

  Clark Kent : She told me that I would cause the end of the world. It's like I have a ticking time bomb on me, Chloe, and I only have a year to figure out how to stop it.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, you can't believe everything an assassin tells you. I mean, what does she know, anyway, right?

  Clark Kent : The future.

  Chloe Sullivan : Right. The future.

• Clark Kent : Isn't it time to move beyond these mental trials?

  Jor-El : Your determination is strong, my son, but just as your passion will be your greatest strength, so, too, will it be your greatest obstacle.

  Clark Kent : Jimmy died because of me, and I can't afford to let another mistake like that happen. You sent me here to fulfill a destiny. Tell me what you need from me.

  Jor-El : Kal-El, you do not need me to tell you what's standing in your way. You already know, and you know what you need to do.

  Clark Kent : [refers to Lois]  I have to say goodbye to her.

• Alia : Blue Kryptonite takes away my abilities, too. We're of the same world, Kal-El.

  Clark Kent : Why are you risking your own life?

  Alia : Because it is the only chance of I have to defeat you before you destroy our world.

• Jor-El : Kal-El, my son, you are distracted. When you decided to return to your training, I assumed you were ready.

  Clark Kent : I've been coming here for weeks. I've done everything you've asked. Why are you questioning me now?

  Jor-El : Until today, you had focus. You had cleared your mind and heart of those who had kept you tethered from your human realm.

  Clark Kent : If there's anything that's keeping me tethered, it's that I still can't fly. Have I not earned the same powers that Kara has?

  Jor-El : Your powers lie within you, Kal-El. Your physical composition is no different than your cousin's.

  Clark Kent : You're saying it's all in my head?

  Jor-El : You still see yourself as a human.

  Clark Kent : You're wrong. I gave up everyone I cared about. I gave up everyone who was important to me. I wear the symbol of our family everyday to remind me that I have a different destiny.

  Jor-El : Perhaps you tried to move on too quickly. The test of a true hero is to struggle with feelings of loss and to overcome them, not to avoid them. Something or *someone* is holding you back.

  Clark Kent : No. I've come this far, and I'm not looking back. I can do this.

• Clark Kent : [calling as the Blur]  Lois.

  Lois Lane : Thank you for saving me out there. I was afraid you had disappeared for good.

  Clark Kent : I should have. I'm supposed to. But I can't. Promise me this is just between us.

  Lois Lane : I promise.

• Clark Kent : My father's watch.

  [taking it off her wrist, and taking out his own] 

  Clark Kent : The date is set one year in the future. How'd you get this?

  Alia : You gave it to me.

• Chloe Sullivan : For three weeks I've been trying to track you down, and you're completely off the radar. Lois shows up for one day, and you're as predictable as clockwork.

  Clark Kent : It wasn't that I didn't want to come by and see that you were okay.

  Chloe Sullivan : I know.

  Clark Kent : Leaving everyone behind... it's not what I wanted.

  Chloe Sullivan : It wasn't about what we want, Clark. It's about what the rest of the world needs. I get it. I was lucky to be a part of your life for a little while, but we both know that... you'd have to move on one day.

• Clark Kent : I started the training Jor-El always planned for me. Everything that I've learned and he's showed me, my old life seems very far away.

  Chloe Sullivan : You're doing the right thing, Clark. You can't look back.

  Clark Kent : It's the only way I can stay focused, stay objective. By letting go everyone that I care about and cutting every attachment that may influence the choices that I have to make.

  Chloe Sullivan : So what part of that involves skulking around a phone booth looking for Lois?

  Clark Kent : It's not like that. Yes, I came back to find her, but only to say goodbye.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, let's hope you still have a chance.

  [showing him his Legion ring] 

  Chloe Sullivan : I think Lois found your lucky charm and hitchhiked to the future.

  Clark Kent : Is she...

  Chloe Sullivan : She's fine. She doesn't remember anything, but she didn't come back alone. And it looks like her excess baggage might be trying to kill her.
