Smallville, Season 4

Clark:
Dad, I know you don't agree with me. But sometimes taking responsibility means having faith in yourself to make the hard choices.

Jonathan:
And it also means being willing to accept the consequences.

Clark:
Every handshake, every hug, every time I'm out on that field, I make a conscious decision to fall when those guys hit me so they don't get hurt. No matter how hard you try, you can't understand that. That's why it's my decision, not yours.

Jonathan:
You're starting to sound more and more like your father.

Clark:
I hope so, Dad.
