Episode Quotes

Pete Ross: Hey.
Chloe Sullivan: Hey. [in tears, after telling Clark they should be friends]
Pete Ross: What's with the fake smile?
Chloe Sullivan: Nothing. Clark and I just reaffirmed that we're really good friends. And nothing else.
Pete Ross: Pulled the "friends" card on you, huh?
Chloe Sullivan: No, I did. Defense mechanism.
Roger Nixon: Mr. Kent, since the beginning of time, people have been looking up at the stars and wondering "What's out there?" Clark is the answer that they have been waiting for.
Roger Nixon: He can see through solid objects? Unbelievable. What else can he do? Do you have any idea what I would do with his abilities? The wealth, the power he could amass. It's unimaginable.
Jonathan Kent: You are exactly the reason why I keep his abilities a secret.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): When Nixon and Jonathan are trapped in the crypt after the landslide, Nixon says he can't breathe, and Jonathan says this is because the landslide cut off the air supply. However, we can clearly see beams of sunlight shining in. So, unless the ceiling of the crypt is made of airtight glass, that landslide didn't cut off the entire air supply.
  • Goof (continuity error): When Lex and Clark are searching for Mr. Kent, Lex has a bandage over his right eye. After Clark discovers Lex trying to call Nixon, Clark storms off and the camera goes to Lex. The bandage is now over his left eye.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Martha Kent is talking to Lana about the Meteor Shower day when Lana gave her a wish. She recalls Lana as sitting on the counter when in fact she was standing on the ground.

Trivia

  • Towards the end, Lana mentions Clark 'You cannot hide in here forever'. Clark Kent goes on to become 'Superman' as a means to keep the identity of Clark Kent in tact.
