Lionel Luthor:
I'm glad you finally decided to accept my offer. You know, don't you, you have a very exciting future ahead of you, Ms. Sullivan.

Chloe Sullivan:
Well, opportunities like this aren't dropped on your doorstep every day.

Lionel Luthor:
Why the sudden change of heart?

Chloe Sullivan:
You were right about Clark. He wasn't who I thought he was.

Lionel Luthor:
Oh.

Chloe Sullivan:
I'm surprised I hadn't noticed earlier. So much for my crack journalistic instinct.

Lionel Luthor:
No, no. Love has the way of blinding even the sharpest minds. We don't look because we don't want to see. But once love has been stripped away, then we see the real person clearly. They're revealed to us, with all their flaws, their foibles, and their secrets.
