Clark Kent:
Have you talked to my dad yet?

Senator Jack Jennings:
I'd say he did most of the talking. After 20 years, the man's still got a hell of a knack for the guilt trip, doesn't he?

Clark Kent:
Usually works 'cause he's right.

Senator Jack Jennings:
Your father's always had some pretty high expectations of the people around him. He's the one man I never wanted to disappoint.

Clark Kent:
You should try being his son. The thing I always try to remember is, no matter how much he lays on he never expects more than he expects of himself.

Senator Jack Jennings:
You think your dad will ever forgive me?

Clark Kent:
Well, I've given him a lot trial runs in the forgiveness arena. Look, I know my dad's friendship means a lot to you. But there's a lot of other people out there who look up to you.

Senator Jack Jennings:
I guess you can only pull off the disguise of being superhuman for so long, huh?
