Jonathan Kent:
Who would have thought? Geoff Johns always seemed like a nice kid.

Clark Kent:
I know. If I take this football scholarship, I'm gonna be in the same situation as Geoff. I'm gonna have to lie on every physical, rig every test. I'm gonna have to do anything I can to protect my secret. I want to believe that I could go out there and play football like any normal college kid, but the fact is I have powers that no other athlete has. Coop was right; it's not fair that Geoff was out there on that field, just like it's not fair when I'm out there competing. So I've decided to give up football.

Martha Kent:
[temporarily stunned] Clark... I know how difficult it is to give up something you love.

Jonathan Kent:
But this decision you've made, son, shows integrity well beyond your years.

Clark Kent:
Then why don't I feel good about it?

[Jonathan glances down at an invoice on the table]

Jonathan Kent:
Look at me, Clark. If you have your heart set on going to Met U, or any other school, somehow, some way, your mother and I will make sure that you get to go. Is that understood?

Clark Kent:
[smiles] Yeah.
