Episode Quotes
 
Lana: When do you start caring what people think of you?
Lex: Since I was branded at birth with the sins of my father.
 
Jor-El: While your abilities on Earth may be extraordinary, Kal-El, we're not gods.
 
Clark: (after confessing his secret) Do I look different to you now?
Lana: Clark, you look like the same handsome guy I've always known.
Clark: Handsome as in "I wanna spend the rest of my life with you" or handsome as in "I'm gonna let you down easy"?
Lana: Handsome as in "Yes, Clark, I will marry you."
 
Martha: A heart beats only so many times in a life. Your father used his more than anyone I know.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
How could Jonathan Kent be at the scene of the accident when he was still at the winning campaign party?
 
Jonathan Kent is at the wreck scene, pulling and holding back his super-strong alien son Clark, who was stricken with panic, confusion and chaos. How could Jonathan be able to hold back someone with that much power?
 
The snow particles at the end, it is extremely obviously CG - those snow particles were way too big.
 
The second time Lex throws his drink into the fireplace, you can clearly see that all of the liquid splatters out of the glass before it ever reaches the fire pit.

That was a hysterical nod to Christopher Reeve's first Superman film.
 
Chloe: Okay, McFly, how'd you do that?

This is a reference to Marty McFly, the character Michael J. Fox played in the Back to the Future movies of the late eighties.
