Martha Kent:
[Looking at the Kent farmhouse with a gaping hole in it from where the meteor struck the house] Our home...

Jonathan Kent:
It's just wood and plaster, Martha. A house can always be rebuilt.

Martha Kent:
I guess you're right.

Jonathan Kent:
[Clark walks toward his mom and dad] But it does help to have a one-man construction team as a son.

Martha Kent:
Hi.

Clark Kent:
Hi.

Jonathan Kent:
[after observing a short pause, glad to be together again] Don't worry, Clark, things will be back to normal soon enough.

Clark Kent:
Actually, things will be a lot more normal around here than you think.

[pauses to prepare himself]

Clark Kent:
My abilities are gone.

Martha Kent:
[In shock] How?

Clark Kent:
Jor-El took them. But, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. All I've ever wanted is to be normal, and now, finally, I am.

Martha Kent:
It is different. You can get hurt now, you're vulnerable.

Clark Kent:
Isn't that what it means to be human?

Jonathan Kent:
No, I can't believe Jor-El would have given up on you that easily.

Clark Kent:
I took care of the danger he warned me about, and if losing my abilities is the consequence then I think he's done with me.

[Walks to Jonathan and Martha and stands beside them]

Clark Kent:
Look, none of that matters now. I'm ready to take a step to the future. We'll start by rebuilding this house, one board at a time.
