Episode Quotes

Season 8 / Episode 18: - Eternal

Tess Mercer: According to the Kawatche Indians, this boy is part of a two-headed creature - good and evil. The Luthors were too busy feuding over which one of them was worth enough to be your adversary that they couldn't see the truth... that there was another boy who came to Earth with you. Davis Bloome.
Clark Kent: [chuckles] So you think that Davis Bloome and I are from another planet?
Tess Mercer: Lionel found Davis on the day of the meteor shower. He thought he was the Traveler, but then the boy's tests seemed normal.
Clark Kent: So, Lionel was holding Davis.
Tess Mercer: Only for five days. Then he threw the boy out onto the street because he got a phone call from Martha Kent.
Clark Kent: [chuckles] Tess, you are reaching.
Tess Mercer: Am I? It's Lionel's own words, and I quote - "I have the wrong boy, but I believe that I have found the true Traveler." Why else would Lionel Luthor arrange an adoption for a boy who seemed to come out of nowhere? It looks like you're the reason Davis was abandoned in the first place.

Season 8 / Episode 18: - Eternal

Tess Mercer: There is a savior among us. You are here to betray him.
Davis Bloome: I haven't betrayed anyone.
Tess Mercer: I finally realized that until you fulfill your destiny, he won't have his great challenge to overcome. He cannot become the world's savior without triumphing over the world's destroyer.
Davis Bloome: What savior? What you are talking about?
Tess Mercer: Clark. There's a reason you two don't get along. You were destined to kill each other.
