Episode Quotes

Season 5 / Episode 3: - Hidden

Lionel Luthor: [a brilliant flash of light wakes Clark and he rises from a pedestal of ice in the Fortress of Solitude and looks around, confused as to how and why he is there, until he looks up and sees Lionel standing above him in the distance] Hello Kal-El.
Clark Kent: [Confused and amazed] Jor-El?
Lionel Luthor: [Grasping the lapels of his overcoat] And I'm hoping the time has come when you will call me father.
Clark Kent: [Perplexed]... I was... I was just in the hospital. How did you get me here?
Lionel Luthor: The portal in the cave. When this body was activated it became an oracle of Kryptonian knowledge, a vessel for me to inhabit if ever you should need me. That time was now.
Clark Kent: Am I dead?
Lionel Luthor: Your mortal journey is over, yes, but your eminent destiny is far too important to be sacrificed. You will return with all of your natural gifts. [Steps forward] Unfortunately, this rectification does not come without a price. [Clark looks concerned] The life of someone close to you will be exchanged for yours.
Clark Kent: [In shock] No. No I'd never ask for that.
Lionel Luthor: You already did when you chose to relinquish your powers and disobey me. It was your choice.
Clark Kent: [Angrily] Then just don't send me back!
Lionel Luthor: It's too late. [Lionel steps forward to Clark to speak to him face to face] For everything in nature, there is a balance. [Stated with sorrow] The life force that has been returned to you will soon be taken from... from someone you love. [Grabs Clark's arms] You're about to face your darkest hour my son but, remember the lessons we learn from pain are the ones that make us the strongest. [He hugs Clark and a brilliant light emanates from Lionel's hand and he takes a step back] Always know that I love you. [a brilliant flash of light returns Clark to Smallville]

Season 5 / Episode 3: - Hidden

Jonathan Kent: ...Now the hospital lost our son and we want to know how that's even possible. [Clark walks into the house and Jonathan and Martha gaze in shock of their resurrected son]... I'll have to call you back.
Martha Kent: Clark! [They all hug each other and pause for a moment] Jor-El gave you your powers back didn't he?
Clark Kent: [With great sadness] I'm not human anymore... it's the only way I could come back. [Walks a few steps from his parents in quiet reflection] The real sacrifice would have been not coming back at all.
Jonathan Kent: After all that has happened Jor-El just offered to give you your powers back? He didn't ask for anything in return?
Clark Kent: [Even though he knows different, with sadness] No.
