Lana Lang
- Lex Luthor: Your form's good but his gait's off. You might want to check your shoes. Lex Luthor. I'm a friend of your aunt's.
- Lana Lang: Sneaking up like that. You're lucky you didn't get kicked.
- Lex Luthor: You must be Lana. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
- Lana Lang: We've already met.
- Lex Luthor: I seriously doubt I'd forget meeting you.
- Lana Lang: You were a little preoccupied at the time.
- Lex Luthor: I get the feeling I didn't make a great first impression.
- Lana Lang: When I was ten, I went to Metropolis for a riding competition. Your father invited us to stay over. My aunt said you had an indoor pool. When I went to check it out, I found you and a girl skinny dipping. I think you were teaching her the breast stroke.
- Lex Luthor: That was you? Wow. You're all grown up now.
- [sees a case of ribbons, trophies, and plaques]
- Lex Luthor: Very impressive.
- Lana Lang: Did you know you can see my house from here?
- Clark Kent: [innocently] No. Really?
- [he moves the telescope, to take the focus off her house]
- Clark Kent: You know, we've lived a mile apart our whole lives and you've never come over.
- Lana Lang: And you're wondering what I'm doing here now.
- Clark Kent: Not that I don't enjoy the company, but yes, I was.
- Lana Lang: Your mom said I could wait up here. I hope you don't mind. This is an amazing place.
- Clark Kent: My dad built it. Calls it my "Fortress of Solitude."
- Lana Lang: Life is about change, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful, but most of the time it's both.
- Lana Lang: I didn't see you at the dance last night.
- Clark Kent: Oh, I was...
- [glancing at Whitney]
- Clark Kent: I was a little tied up.
- Greg Arkin: Hey, Lana, I was wondering if you could help me with my Lit paper?
- Lana Lang: Nathanael West assignment giving you brain freeze?
- Greg Arkin: Yeah, it's kicking my ass.
- Lana Lang: Sure, okay.
- Greg Arkin: Great. How about my house, after school?
- Lana Lang: Library might be easier.
- Greg Arkin: Do you know the average butterfly only lives for eight hours?
- Lana Lang: Live fast, die young. They're the rock stars of the insect world.
- Lex Luthor: That's an unusual necklace.
- Lana Lang: Thanks. It's very special to me.
- Lex Luthor: How come you're not wearing it?
- Lana Lang: I lent it to my boyfriend.
- Lex Luthor: Lucky guy. What's his name?
- Lana Lang: Whitney Fordman.
- Lex Luthor: The kid that Kent saved today?
- Lana Lang: Just came back from seeing him. He's lucky Clark was there.
- Clark Kent: What are you gonna do?
- Lana Lang: I'm not sure. I thought I knew Whitney. Now I wonder what else I've been blind to in my life. He even lost my favorite necklace.
- Clark Kent: [glancing at the lead box Lex gave him] Can't you get it replaced?
- Lana Lang: Sounds kind of weird, but it's made from a fragment of the meteor that killed my parents. Nell had it made. Gave it to me on the day she officially adopted me.
- Lana Lang: Where were you before the game on Saturday?
- Whitney Fordman: Can we talk about this later?
- Lana Lang: It's a simple question, Whitney.
- Whitney Fordman: I was warming up.
- Lana Lang: So you didn't grab Clark and hang him up in a field?
- Whitney Fordman: Lana, it was just a prank.
- Lana Lang: Can I please have my necklace back?
- Whitney Fordman: I lost it.
- Lana Lang: Were you planning on telling me? Or was that a prank, too?
- Greg Arkin: I thought you'd forgotten. I've been waiting for, like, an hour.
- [she looks at him in confusion]
- Greg Arkin: You remember, the English paper?
- Lana Lang: Sorry, Greg, something really important came up. Can we do it some other time?
- Greg Arkin: [stopping her as she turns to leave] Hey! Are you blowing me off for your boyfriend?
- Lana Lang: I'm not blowing you off. I need to see Clark.
- Greg Arkin: Kent? So you'd rather spend time with him? Is he more important than me?
- Lana Lang: Greg, I can't talk about this right now. I have to go.
- Lana Lang: I found about what Whitney did to you, the... whole scarecrow thing. And... I came to apologize.
- Clark Kent: It's not your fault. So, forget about it.
- Lana Lang: I can't. He had no right to do that to you, and... and you turn around and save his life.
- Clark Kent: I appreciate you coming over here. But you're not the one who should be apologizing.
- Lana Lang: I didn't come here to defend him. I came here to see you.
- Clark Kent: Who told you?
- Lana Lang: Lex Luthor. Dropped some breadcrumbs, and I followed the trail. I'm glad he did, Clark. He was just being a good friend. You're lucky; it's rare.
