Clark Kent:
I helped the Luthors get a foothold on this community. The smokestacks, the toxic dumping, all the people who were cheated, including Pete's family; none of that would have happened if it weren't for me.

Clark Kent:
Dad, you couldn't have known.

Jonathan Kent:
No, I should've known, Clark. I knew exactly what kind of a man Lionel Luthor was.

Clark Kent:
Why didn't you tell me?

Jonathan Kent:
'Cause I knew that you would do exactly what you're doing, which is blame yourself.

Clark Kent:
You were trying to protect me. It is my fault.

Jonathan Kent:
No. You never believe that. This was my decision, this is my fault. Mine alone.
