Lionel Luthor:
Nurturing a promising young talent is a reward in itself. And I've, uh... I've got your first assignment. A complete investigative profile of Clark Kent.

Chloe Sullivan:
What possible interest could the "Daily Planet" have in a farm boy from Smallville?

Lionel Luthor:
This isn't for the "Daily Planet". I'm sure they'll be in touch with you. No, this is for me. Just, uh... combine it with any research about his family you already have.

Chloe Sullivan:
[realizing he has an ulterior motive] Wow. I blew off my journalistic skepticism and... and allowed myself to actually believe that you were interested in just helping me.

Lionel Luthor:
You're playing in the real world now, Ms. Sullivan. You have to, uh... give to get.

Chloe Sullivan:
Mr. Luthor, I don't know what your interest is in Clark, but you can take the job offer and shove it down your thousand dollar pants.
