Desperate to preserve the writings, Clark pits father against son as he enlists Lex’s (Michael Rosenbaum) help to stop Lionel’s (John Glover) construction crew from demolishing the cave.

“Outtathaway” by The Vines — Song heard playing while Clark and Pete are riding their dirt bikes at the start of the episode.

Kyla: It’s the legend of Numan. My ancestors have passed down this story for generations. They said it had been written in the earth long ago, but nobody ever knew where it was until now. Thank you.
Clark: Sure, no problem.

Jonathan: It’s an octagon. It’s a very common shape, Clark.
Clark: Okay, but what about the story? How many people fall to earth in a meteor shower and can shoot fire from their eyes?

Jonathan: Son, we don’t know anything about Kyla or her grandfather for that matter.
Clark: I know. That’s why I invited them over for dinner.

Martha: Um, I sent flowers to the foreman’s family and I arranged for you to, uh, do a condolence call tomorrow afternoon.
Lionel: Good thinking. I don’t want to be perceived as uncaring.

Lex: Come on, Dad. You don’t need me as an investor in some random office park.
Lionel: No, not as an investor, Lex. I want you as my partner. Blame it on a brief bout of sentimentality.
Lex: Sentimentality is synonymous with vulnerability. You taught me that. You’re on your own.

Kyla: No, yesterday you didn’t have a scratch on you and… What, you shoot fire out your eyes too? (Clark turns away from her) Oh, my God. I was just joking.

Clark: Didn’t David beat Goliath?
Lex: Your newfound advocacy wouldn’t have anything to do with a beautiful doe-eyed crusader, would it? (Clark doesn’t answer) Your mother told me about Kyla.

Chloe: Yeah, so what is it about Kyla that breaks through Clark’s shining armor?

Lana: What is it with guys and their emotions? The closer you get to them, the more they keep everything in.
Chloe: Must be some sort of protective instincts. You know, maybe we should just stop falling for guys who are trying to save the world.

Clark: Anything new in Joseph’s case?
Chloe: You know, Clark, a simple “Hello, Chloe” goes a long way.
Clark: I know, I’m sorry. I’m just a little…
Chloe: Obsessed? I’ve noticed.

Lionel: I’m sure you know that this project has become a public relations disaster, but now you have added an entirely new angle for those damn treehuggers to exploit.

Man: Mr. Luthor, we’re all shut down here, sir.
Lionel: What’s the problem here?
Man: Some kid thinks he’s a hero.

Lex: Dad, you always told me to choose my battles wisely.
Lionel: I hope I didn’t use such an obvious cliché.

Quote of the Week:

Lionel: Lex. Have I done something in the recent past to offend you?
Lex: There are so many ways I could answer that question, Dad.
