Smallville, Season 3

Lionel:
I'm impressed but unfortunately, I don't respond to blackmail. But you know, this isn't what's going to get your father's job back.

Chloe:
Then what would?

Lionel:
Information from an especially intransigent source.

Chloe:
Does this source have a name?

Lionel:
Two, actually. Jonathan and Martha Kent. But you need only ask one question.

Chloe:
Why would I ever do that?

Lionel:
Because I know that you have a special place in your heart for their son, and it's killing you that he's hiding something from you. And we both know that this may be the only opportunity you'll ever have to find out what that is.

Chloe:
And what exactly is it that you want to know?

Lionel:
Where did Clark Kent come from?
