Clark Kent:
I've seen you worked up before, but this is more than amped, even for you.

Chloe Sullivan:
I guess it's just displaced anxiety.

[pause]

Chloe Sullivan:
I found my mom, Clark.

Clark Kent:
Wow. That's... Chloe, that's great.

Chloe Sullivan:
Yeah, I mean I put my feelers out for years and something three months ago finally came through, so... I mean, turns out she's, um... she's not exactly MIA, so to speak.

[near tears]

Chloe Sullivan:
She's in a mental institution.

Clark Kent:
[unsure of what to say] I'm sorry.

Chloe Sullivan:
[starting to cry] The real kicker is it's hereditary.

Clark Kent:
Listen, hey... if there's one thing that I've learned, it's that you're not destined to follow in your parents' footsteps, all right?
