Lana Lang Quotes

	Season 8 / Episode 14: - Requiem Lex Luthor: [voice-over] Clark Kent and Lana Lang, welcome to your destiny. You've destroyed me in every way, so now I'm going to take away what matters most to you. Lana Lang: Lex? Lex Luthor: Do you know what people remember about the greatest star-crossed romances? Not how the lovers met, but the way the relationship tragically ended. The skin Lana's wearing was designed to absorb enough meteor rock that you'll never be able to go near her again. Clark Kent: You're a coward, Lex. Come out here. Face us! Lex Luthor: No, Clark. It's time for you to face your defining moment. You can walk away, sacrifice innocent lives to stay together, or defuse the bomb and sacrifice your love forever.
	Season 8 / Episode 14: - Requiem Lana Lang: I know how much it hurts right now, Clark, but if you go after Lex like this, you will kill him. Clark Kent: After what he's done to us, Lana, he needs to be stopped. Lana Lang: I promise you... I will help you to punish Lex. But if you kill him, you will lose so much more than just us being together. Clark... you'll lose yourself.
	Season 8 / Episode 12: - Bulletproof Lana Lang: We aren't 14 anymore. The world will always be bigger than us. Clark Kent: Maybe it doesn't have to be all or nothing. For the last year all I've done is sacrifice myself and everything that I loved for the greater good. What if the rest of the world didn't have to come first? Lana Lang: The world needs you, Clark. Clark Kent: What about what we need?
	Season 8 / Episode 11: - Legion Lana Lang: I didn't think you were much for jewelry. Clark Kent: I'm not. It was a going-away gift. It's strange to meet people who know exactly where you're going. Exactly when you're gonna get there. Lana Lang: Well, they don't know everything. I mean, if they did, Chloe wouldn't be alive right now. Clark Kent: And unfortunately, they didn't have what I had. Human parents who taught me more than just how to use my abilities. Lana Lang: They have a different role model. Clark Kent: With everything I've learned, everything I've been through, apparently, I'm just getting started. According to the Legion, I will accomplish things so legendary I'll be known throughout the galaxy. Lana Lang: And you're not sure that you'll be able to live up to that. Clark, there is no doubt in my mind that you will. Just do it on your own schedule, not theirs. Clark Kent: Well, did they happen to mention anything your place in history? Lana Lang: A little. But the way I see it, it doesn't really matter. Our destiny, it's written in some book in the future. We write it ourselves, every day. Clark Kent: And the question is, what do we write next?
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Clark Kent: [Lana is reading a text message in a secluded area of the barn/wedding reception when Clark finds her] Chloe's glad you came. I could have used some warning. You weren't planning on coming back, were you? Lana Lang: Yeah, not until a few hours ago. Clark Kent: So, what changed your mind? I'm not expecting you to say it was me. Lana Lang: I read about the mysterious blur saving lives in Metropolis. I'm proud of you, Clark. It's who you should have been all along. Clark Kent: Does that mean you're happy you left? Lana Lang: It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. But I'm glad that I finally had the guts to do it. [silence between the two former lovers] I would have died before I admitted this, but I used to sit on my front porch and look across the field at this barn, imagining a summer wedding here. Of course, I always thought I'd play a bigger part in it. Clark Kent: You probably would have if I had given you Chloe's wedding gift. I had Jor-El erase all the memories that Chloe had of the real me. I wonder if that would have made things different between us. Lana Lang: I understood the lies that you told me to protect your identity. But I could never forgive you for taking that away from me. Clark Kent: You can't mean that. Lana, it turned your life upside down. Lana Lang: Maybe it was exactly what it needed. I could have landed a lot of places in my life, Clark. But without you, none of them would have led me here. Clark Kent: So that's it. It's all over. It's that easy? Lana Lang: No. But where I am now, for the first time it feels right. Clark, I know neither of us could say it... But maybe Clark Kent and Lana Lang just weren't meant to end up together. [Both turn to the reception where the crowd starts cheering for Chloe and Jimmy to kiss]
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Lana Lang: I'm not convinced Lex is alive. Just because the king dies doesn't mean the entire empire crumbles overnight. I just followed the leads here to protect Clark. Oliver Queen: Good. Because no one else seems too concerned that Lex found out his secret. If you're on a trail, I can help you. Lana Lang: Is this your version of help? 'Cause it seems a little personal to me. You're Green Arrow. You're better than this. Oliver Queen: You sound like Clark. Lana Lang: If we want to fight for the greater good, maybe we all have to be a little more like Clark.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Arctic Lana Lang: [to Clark] I need you... but the world needs you more.
	Season 7 / Episode 14: - Traveler Lana Lang: Lex likes to keep his women on a short leash. Chloe Sullivan: Sounds more like a choke chain, if you ask me.
	Season 7 / Episode 11: - Siren Lana Lang: It's kind of interesting that everyone was so quick to turn me into Lady Macbeth when they found out I was watching Lex.
	Season 7 / Episode 10: - Persona Bizarro: You spent the last month telling me that you finally felt like we were meant to be together. Clark Kent: Don't listen to him, Lana. Bizarro: I know what's in his mind, Lana. He doesn't love you like I do. Clark Kent: That's a lie! Bizarro: You're lying, Clark - to yourself! You're so worried about doing the right thing, you don't even see it. Bizarro: [to Lana] You know he won't commit his life to you like I will. You know that. Lana Lang: He's right, Clark. Clark Kent: What? Lana Lang: I've never been more in love than I have the past month. Only it wasn't with you. It was with him. Bizarro: [extends his hand to Lana] Nothing will ever come between us again. Bizarro: I love you.
	Season 7 / Episode 10: - Persona Bizarro: We should go somewhere. Lana Lang: Why? I'm happy right here. Bizarro: No, I mean, we should leave Smallville. We should go see the world, Lana - all the places you've ever dreamed of. How about Paris? We'll have breakfast at the Eiffel tower. Lana Lang: Yeah, right. Bizarro: I'll fly you there myself. Lana Lang: You have a lot of powers, Clark, but last I heard, flying wasn't one of them. Bizarro: You make me feel like I can fly.
	Season 7 / Episode 8: - Blue Lana Lang: You grew up on a planet of human beings. It's okay to feel. Your emotions are part of who you are. Clark Kent: Yeah. They're more dangerous than kryptonite.
	Season 7 / Episode 7: - Wrath Lana Lang: [to Clark after horseback riding] It's good to know I can still beat you on something.
	Season 7 / Episode 7: - Wrath Lana Lang: I would do anything for Clark. Chloe Sullivan: Even kill. What a lucky guy!
	Season 7 / Episode 7: - Wrath Clark Kent: Are you X-raying me? Lana Lang: My God, that's amazing. You can do so much with this. Clark Kent: Well, let's start with you not getting so up-close-and-personal with my vertebrae.
	Season 7 / Episode 7: - Wrath Chloe Sullivan: While you've been busy, I've been practicing my cardiac arrest. Are you okay? Lana Lang: Better than ever. Why? Chloe Sullivan: I don't know. Only because there have been constant seismic tremors all around Smallville since 2 o'clock. Clark Kent: That was probably us. Chloe Sullivan: What do mini earthquakes have to do with you guys? Chloe Sullivan: Oh. I thought you said you couldn't. Lana Lang: Normally, we can't. Clark Kent: You guys talk about this? Lana Lang: What? It's just Chloe.
	Season 7 / Episode 7: - Wrath Lex Luthor: Lana, wait. Killing me would almost be a release. The only person who would really suffer is you. Lana Lang: From guilt? I think I'll get over it.
	Season 7 / Episode 3: - Fierce Clark Kent: Lana, I thought you were gone. If you knew how that felt... Lana Lang: Clark I am so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. Clark Kent: But you didn't trust me enough to let me help you. Lana Lang: I was trying to protect you. Clark I know you. You gonna rush in there and save someone even if it means putting your own life in danger. And when Lionel threatened to hurt you... O couldn't take that chance. Clark Kent: You know, it's a little ironic to hear someone else say that. I guess I'm just not used to be the one that needs to be protected. I... I can't wait to see the look on Chloe's face when she finds out you're alive. Lana Lang: She can't. Not yet.
	Season 6 / Episode 19: - Nemesis Lana Lang: I wonder how Martha Kent would handle hearing that you used her son as a bargaining chip? Tell me what you know. Lionel Luthor: Well, I see you've embraced wholeheartedly what it means to be a Luthor.
	Season 6 / Episode 16: - Promise Lionel Luthor: You know Clark's secret, don't you? I've been watching you since you've started seeing my son, and you've been getting closer and closer to finding out the shocking truth about Clark Kent. What a surprise it must have been to realize that Clark has kept up the deception for so long, right under your nose. Lana Lang: He was trying to protect me. And he's not going to let you threaten me now. Lionel Luthor: You think Clark's invincible. Not so. Like every hero, he has an Achilles' heel, a weakness. I know what it is. And I know that it could kill him. Lana Lang: No. You could never hurt him. Lionel Luthor: Would you bet Clark's life on that? I give you my word, Miss Lang, if you don't honor the promise that you made to my son or I find out that you have told anyone about this conversation, I will kill Clark Kent.
	Season 6 / Episode 16: - Promise Nell Potter: This may be the most important day of your life. What's wrong? Lana Lang: It's just... if there was something that you had to put past you to get on with your life, and you tried every way that was fair and honest to do that and nothing worked... is it really wrong to bend the rules just once?
	Season 6 / Episode 12: - Labyrinth Lana Lang: What's that look in your eye? Clark Kent: Oh, I... I had a dream about you last night. Lana Lang: Well, I hope that it wasn't a nightmare. Clark Kent: No. We were 10 years old and I gave you a plastic ring from a gumball machine at Quinn's Market? Lana Lang: That's sweet. What was the occasion? Clark Kent: It was an engagement ring. Lana Lang: What happened next? Clark Kent: I woke up.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Subterranean Lex Luthor: Three lost Vermeer paintings were discovered last month. You should go to the opening. Lana Lang: At the Metropolis Museum? Lex Luthor: Actually, it's a bit farther. The Rijksmuseum. Lana Lang: In Amsterdam? Lex, that's 4,000 miles away. Lex Luthor: And one of the most romantic cities in the world, where you'll feel very lonely and realize how much you miss me. Lana Lang: Nice strategy, boss. Lex Luthor: Only if it works.
	Season 6 / Episode 7: - Rage Lana Lang: Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and... everything would be different? Clark Kent: All the time.
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Zod Lana Lang: Let go. Where are you taking me? Zod: Zod does not take orders. He gives them.
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Zod Lana Lang: The city's tearing itself apart. All those people. We have to help them. Zod: Help them? Lana Lang: With the powers Fine gave you, you could end the riots. You could save everyone, Lex. Zod: Lex Luthor is dead. My name is Zod.
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - Zod Zod: Do you really think Zod cares what a primitive like you believes? Lana Lang: If Lex is really dead, then why waste your time with a primitive like me? Zod: To bear witness the end of the human era and the re-birth of Krypton? Lana Lang: Krypton? Zod: A shining jewel in a vast, dark universe. And you have the privilege of playing a part in its resurrection.
	Season 5 / Episode 20: - Fade Lex Luthor: You know, I was only gone for a week... but I actually got a little bit homesick. Lana Lang: What's so special about Smallville? Lex Luthor: Oh, I don't know. The cows. Cornfields. Wide-open spaces. Lana Lang: I missed you too.
	Season 5 / Episode 17: - Void Lex Luthor: Is this going to be another apology? Lana Lang: Well, they don't make a card for "Sorry I got you killed."
	Season 5 / Episode 16: - Hypnotic Lana Lang: [a quiet sunset leaves the air silent as Lana walks into Clark's barn with a bad feeling about what's coming as she slowly walks up the steps] I've climbed these steps before so many times, why do they seem steeper than ever? Clark Kent: Thanks for coming over. I didn't want to bother you at school. Lana Lang: Look, Clark you can spare me the speech about how sorry you are. I know you were hypnotized and you weren't in control of your actions. Clark Kent: [With reluctance] I need to be honest with you. Lana Lang: That would be refreshing. Clark Kent: [Choked up] I don't know any other way to say it... but the truth is... my feelings for you have changed. Lana Lang: [She walks over to him looking him straight in the eyes] Clark, I want you to look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me. Clark Kent: [Clark turns to her with tears in his eyes and she looks upon him with fear] I don't love you. Lana Lang: [Lana sits down having just had her heart crushed by the man she's loved for so long with tears in her eyes] I have waited... for you to grow up, to get over whatever hang-ups you may have. Clark Kent: [Kneeling down in front of her] I never meant to hurt you. Lana Lang: I don't want another Clark Kent apology. [after pulling back her tears] It's over... forever. [She walks out on a broken Clark staring in sadness of what he's just had to sacrifice]
