Chloe Sullivan:
You know, with all the stuff with Molly, I just... there's a part of me that... feels like maybe I deserve it.

Clark Kent:
No, Chloe...

Chloe Sullivan:
No, like it was my penance, you know? For what I did to you.

Clark Kent:
You can't take all the blame. You went to Lionel because I pushed you away. It seems to be one of my hidden talents lately.

Chloe Sullivan:
It's not so hidden. You know, I... I never set out to investigate you, Clark. It just... it was so flattering that someone like that would be interested in my work.

Clark Kent:
Made you feel like you mattered.

Chloe Sullivan:
Yeah. And then Lionel, like, set my dream out right in front of me and I just... I don't know, I gave in to all of my worst instincts.

Clark Kent:
No, Chloe... he caught you at a weak moment. We all have them. When you found me in mine in Metropolis, you didn't turn your back on me. You gave me a second chance, and I at least owe you the same.

Chloe Sullivan:
I'd like that.
