Smallville, Season 2

Pete:
So you're some sort of... what? You're not a human?

Clark:
I don't know what I am. I don't know where that ship brought me from. I just know that I grew up in Smallville, and everything that I care about and everyone that I care about is here.

Pete:
If you care about me so much, how come you never told me sooner?

Clark:
Pete, believe me, there wasn't a day that went by where I didn't want to tell you, but my parents thought it was too dangerous. Not just for me, but for anyone else who knew the truth.

Pete:
You didn't think I could handle it?

Clark:
Can you?

...

Clark:
Pete, another reason why I didn't say anything is because I knew people would look at me the exact same way that you're looking at me right now.

Pete:
And how's that?

Clark:
Like a freak. Pete, I've tried my whole life just to blend in, to try and be more normal than anyone else. Would you just say something? Call me... call me an alien, call me a monster. I don't care, just say something.

Pete:
It's like I don't even know you.
