Clark Kent:
Dad, are you sure this guy knows what he's doing?

Jonathan Kent:
Clark, Sosnick helped Jack win five elections. I'm sure he knows more about this stuff than we do.

Lois Lane:
If you ask me, I think he's trying to turn you into a Luthor.

March Sosnick:
Is there a problem?

Lois Lane:
Yeah, I was just wondering if you've ever actually met the Kents. You see, the reason somebody is gonna vote for Mr. Kent is because they relate to him. And who is gonna believe that he supports local farmers when he looks like some big business blowhard - no offense, Mr. Kent - who wants to buy them out?

March Sosnick:
Well, that's called bridging the demo gap, dear.

Lois Lane:
Oh, and does bridging the gap also include misquoting your candidate?

Jonathan Kent:
[reading the front page of a newspaper] Wait a minute, it says "Jonathan Kent is quoted as saying 'It is possible to serve corporate interests and maintain the the public welfare'"? I never said that.

March Sosnick:
I did.

Jonathan Kent:
You did?

March Sosnick:
Yes. Look, this whole "John boy" thing, don't get me wrong, you're very good at it; may win over cowpokes, but there's a healthy pull of voters out there that are more familiar with venti lattes than they are with digging post holes.

Jonathan Kent:
What I really need here is somebody who... cares about what I believe in more than they care about winning a race. I'm sorry, but you gotta go, Sosnick. You're fired.

March Sosnick:
[handing a folder to Jonathan] Pack it up, guys.

Lois Lane:
[as Sosnick and his team leave] Not that that didn't totally rock, Mr. Kent, but I have no idea how you're gonna find a replacement so quickly.

Jonathan Kent:
I do.

Lois Lane:
[Jonathan hands the folder to her] Oh, me? Um... what do I know about being a campaign manager?

Jonathan Kent:
What do I know about being a state senator?
