"Clark: Lois, this isn't like you. Normally, when things get challenging that's when you get interested. Lois: This is different. My dad was a general, he cared about me. But, I learned early on that his role in the world was a lot more important than being a father. And, you know what, for good reasons. And, Ollie's life is demanding too. Clark: Lois, just because somebody's life has great responsibility, doesn't mean your life has to take second place. Lois: Of course it does, Clark. Can you imagine what it would be like to look into somebody's eyes and know that their destiny is so much greater than yours. That you will never compete. You will always be left behind. Clark: That would be hard for anyone, but... Lois: No, I can't be left behind one more time. You know, where Ollie's life is going there's not room for me in it. And, I know he'd never admit that, so I had to. I just um, I can't face another heartbreak down the road. Besides, you know why settle for hot, rich, and famous when I can hang out with you."
"Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm."
"You never understood, why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don't know?... it was... It was the look on their faces."
