Episode Quotes

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]

Season 5 / Episode 16: - Hypnotic

Chloe Sullivan: [about Lana] Have you talked to her yet? You guys kiss and make up? [Clark looks away] You haven't talked to her, have you?
Clark Kent: No.
Chloe Sullivan: What are you waiting for? I mean, she knows you were hypnotized. And besides, like every single one of us has gone through some sort of an identity crisis at one point or another. It's like a rite of passage in Smallville.
