Clark Kent:
I realize you're not on board with me helping the Kandorians.

Chloe Sullivan:
Yeah, well, you know how it is. You find out that one of them skewers you to death in the post-apocalyptic future, you kind of lose interest.

Clark Kent:
Yeah, well, I know it seems like I may have overlooked some of their mistakes.

Chloe Sullivan:
Mistakes? By "mistakes" do you mean them building a tower so they give themselves powers to take over the world?

Clark Kent:
I'm going to lead them to a better place.

Chloe Sullivan:
The tower will be completed in two days. Granted, they haven't gotten the satellite up and running to change the atmosphere, but come on, Clark. We both know that one of them killed your father. Look, maybe it'll just be safer if we sent the Kandorians to the Phantom Zone.

Clark Kent:
I know that you're saying that because you want to protect people, but right now I want you to focus on watching my back. Leave the rest of the planet to me.

Chloe Sullivan:
Clark. I will protect you... no matter what it takes.
