William Clark:
I was surprised to get your message. Must have taken a lot for Jonathan to ask for my help.

Martha Kent:
Jonathan is at the co-op in Granville. He doesn't know I called.

William Clark:
Oh. I should have known. Well, I imagine this place differently. But it's not the life I wanted for you, Martha.

Martha Kent:
I'm happy, dad. It's a good life.

William Clark:
For some people, maybe. But you had so much potential. Top ten in your class, you could have gone to any law school you wanted. I'd hoped that one day you'd take over my practice.

Martha Kent:
I never wanted to be a lawyer. This is the life I chose.

William Clark:
This is the life Jonathan chose for you. You just went along for the ride.

Martha Kent:
This isn't about Jonathan! You raised an independent daughter, and you're angry because that's what you got.

William Clark:
And here you are, twenty years later, going behind your husband's back asking me for money.
