Quotes

Lana Lang Cushing : Hey, Emily.
Emily Phan : Please, Lana, just don't.
Lana Lang Cushing : Em...
Duc Phan : She said don't.
Kyle Cushing : Whoa, hold up there, Duc.
Duc Phan : You kidding me, Kyle? Just look around here. That's your doing!
Kyle Cushing : Wait. Hey. I-I made a mistake, okay? I was just...
Emily Phan : The only mistake made was all of us trusting you. And now, after what they said I did to Lois Lane, Clark's son...
Lana Lang Cushing : No, it wasn't your fault.
Emily Phan : No, it's not. It's your fault. I trusted you. How am I supposed to live with myself? How am I supposed to go back to normal?
Lana Lang Cushing : I am so sorry, Emily.
Emily Phan : Just stay away.
Lois Lane : [approaching as the Phans leave] Hey, you're not to blame for this. Edge is.
Kyle Cushing : Yeah, well, I'm not sure everyone sees it that way.
Lois Lane : They will eventually. I'll make sure of it. Before you get tested, can I talk to you both in private?

Lana Lang Cushing : [finding their house vandalized] Oh, my God.
Sarah Cushing : What is with everybody? Seriously.
Lana Lang Cushing : People are angry. They're lashing out.
Sarah Cushing : But they know us. We've lived here our whole lives. Everything Dad has done is for this town. They actually think we're gonna leave?
Lana Lang Cushing : No, no, sweetie. We're not going anywhere, okay? Everything will be fine.
Kyle Cushing : They attacked our home.
Lana Lang Cushing : And we're gonna fix it.
Kyle Cushing : Our children sleep here.
Lana Lang Cushing : It's a good thing that no one was home.
Kyle Cushing : Yeah, well, what if someone had been, Lana?
Lana Lang Cushing : Okay, Kyle...
Kyle Cushing : Huh? No, look, okay? All we did is try and help. Someone had to step up and try something.
Sarah Cushing : Dad.
Kyle Cushing : Huh? No! We come in with the best of intentions, and everyone now just assumes the absolute worst? No, like, I-I can't even go to work, okay? We can't go into town without gettin' harrassed, and now I can't even keep my family safe.
Lana Lang Cushing : Kyle...
Kyle Cushing : This... this is...
Lana Lang Cushing : Kyle! Look at me. Look, look. What those people think, they're wrong. And they will figure it out, okay? Okay, the only thing I care about is us, okay? And we are gonna get through this together as a family.

Lois Lane : Anything you can tell me about what it was like being a subjekt, even if it seems insignificant. Do either of you have any memory of what happened while you were taken over?
Lana Lang Cushing : Um, no, I just remember waking up and seeing you, Lois.
Lois Lane : What about you?
Kyle Cushing : Mine came and went.
Lois Lane : What was that like?
Kyle Cushing : Um... it was like I was losing myself. Yeah, I-I-I couldn't remember things. Uh, couldn't picture my family. And it-it hurt, you know, trying to... trying to push through, and then... I'd see their faces. And this darkness came over me.
Lois Lane : But you could fight back?
Kyle Cushing : Yeah, some. But there was this overwhelming sense that... my family would just be better off if I just... let go. And I almost did.
Lois Lane : But you did fight, Kyle. Thank you both so much. This means more than you know.

Lana Lang Cushing : Feeling okay about today, babe?
Kyle Cushing : Well, let's see. I gotta go downtown for a mandatory military check-in. Some doc's gonna swab me. A shrink's gonna ask us questions about being mind-controlled, all to make sure our brains are still ours. So, uh, yeah, I'm great.
Sarah Cushing : Can't you call off work, Dad? I mean, shouldn't you stay home with us and, I don't know, just rest?
Kyle Cushing : Look, I'd love to, mija, but I think I need to get back into some sort of routine. You know, go to the station, see my team, get back to normal.

Lana Lang Cushing : Hey, everyone, look who's here.
Kyle Cushing : Oh, my sweet girl. I missed you so much. You smell what Daddy's got cooking up over here?
Sophie Cushing : Are those dinosaur pancakes?
Kyle Cushing : Mm-hmm.
Sophie Cushing : For dinner?
Kyle Cushing : Yeah, why not? All right, I got two Sophie-saurus Rexes coming right up.
Sarah Cushing : [coming in] Sophie. Hi.
Sophie Cushing : Sarah!
Sarah Cushing : Hi.
[hugging]
Sarah Cushing : Oh.
Sophie Cushing : Did you miss me?
Sarah Cushing : I missed you so much.
Sophie Cushing : Anything happen when I was gone?
Sarah Cushing : Uh, no. Things are kinda boring when you're not around, so...
Kyle Cushing : [passing over a plate of pancakes] All right, a little appetizer for you.
Lana Lang Cushing : You know we're gonna be okay, right?
Kyle Cushing : Yeah, I'm gonna make sure of it.

Lana Lang Cushing : [cleaning graffiti off of the house] Okay. Try that.
[Sarah sprays the window with the water hose, but nothing happens]
Lana Lang Cushing : Oh, come on. Are you kidding me?
Sarah Cushing : I don't know, maybe scrub a little harder?
Lana Lang Cushing : Are you critiquing my scrubbing skills?
Sarah Cushing : Yeah, you got little arms. You gotta put your back into it.
Kyle Cushing : Okay, okay, how about letting me have a go, hmm?
Lana Lang Cushing : Oh.
Kyle Cushing : See, one thing you gotta know, Sarah, is that your mama, well, she's always right.
Sarah Cushing : Oh.
Kyle Cushing : We absolutely can fix this. It's just gonna take a little bit of paint thinner and, uh, some good old American muscle.
Sarah Cushing : [groaning] Ay!
Kyle Cushing : [spritzing the window] All right.
[scrubbing the paint off]
Kyle Cushing : Oh, oh. Well, well. Would you look at that?
Sarah Cushing : [spraying him with the hose accidentally-on-purpose] Oh. Sorry. Uh, you know, just the hose malfunctioning. Maybe you could give it some American muscle.
