Lois Lane : I'm sorry for what happened to you, Natalie.
Natalie Irons : You don't have to apologize. You don't even know me.
Lois Lane : No, but I'd like to.
Natalie Irons : Yeah, okay.
Lois Lane : When I saw you come out of that pod and you were looking at me, I froze. I had no idea how I was supposed to react. I've been thinking a lot about that moment since you left. What I could have said or done differently.
Natalie Irons : Is that why you kept calling? To make yourself feel better?
Lois Lane : No.
Natalie Irons : Look, you didn't have to say anything, okay? You're not... you're not my mom.
Lois Lane : I know I'm not. And I would never pretend to be. But I could have at least explained the situation to you. I'm just sorry that I let you walk away. I was hoping that we could maybe be friends.
Natalie Irons : I don't wanna be a charity case.
Lois Lane : That's not what this is.
Natalie Irons : But you already have kids. You have a family. Why would you want me in your life?
Lois Lane : Because you seem wonderful, smart, poised, lovely. You're a survivor. So many reasons. I just think it'd be good for both of us... if we're in each other's lives.

John Henry Irons : Maybe she went to the Met Museum after school.
A.I. Device : I'm afraid the museum is still under repair from the Battle of Metropolis.
John Henry Irons : Where could she be?
[spotting her outside]
John Henry Irons : Natalie.
[going to meet her]
John Henry Irons : Nat. Nat. Where have you been?
Natalie Irons : Just went for a walk.
John Henry Irons : School ended three hours ago.
Natalie Irons : Well, I left before first period.
John Henry Irons : Wait, did something happen?
Natalie Irons : I mean, Annika looked right through me like I didn't even exist. But don't worry, I didn't tell her I'm from some weird alien dimension that imploded.
John Henry Irons : That's not what I meant.
Natalie Irons : But that's all that matters here. We're different while everyone else is basically the same and living their best possible life. I mean, just look at Mom.
John Henry Irons : No, Lois is not your mother.
Natalie Irons : No, no, you're right. In this world, she has two perfect boys, Superman for a husband. She's way better off.
John Henry Irons : Hey, look, you know... you know it's not that simple.
Natalie Irons : No, Dad, it's super simple. I never should've come here.
John Henry Irons : We talked about this, okay? It's just... it's gonna take some time.
Natalie Irons : No, I've been here three months! That's more than enough time to realize that I don't belong.
John Henry Irons : Nat, please.
Natalie Irons : I just wish I died like I was supposed to.

Natalie Irons : Mom!
John Henry Irons : [stopping her as she runs to Lois] No, no, no, no. Nat. Nat! Nat! Nat! No! Nat. No. No. No. It's just... it's, um... it's, um... it's complicated. Look, that's not... that's not your mother.
Natalie Irons : What?
John Henry Irons : She's still gone.
Natalie Irons : But then why are you here?
John Henry Irons : [leading her away] Let me explain, okay?
Clark Kent : Lois, you have to say something.

John Henry Irons : Your name is...
Natalie Irons : Natalie Johnson.
John Henry Irons : And I'm...
Natalie Irons : Henry Johnson.
Natalie Irons : And we just moved here from...
Natalie Irons : A planet that was totally destroyed by psychopathic Kryptonians.
John Henry Irons : Nat, are you sure you wanna do this? Going to your old school, things could get confusing.
Natalie Irons : Dad, I'll be fine.
John Henry Irons : Well, what if you run into the doppelganger of Regan or Annika?
Natalie Irons : Then I'll pretend like I don't know that they're my best friends.
John Henry Irons : Because they are not. They're not the same people.
Natalie Irons : I know. The only person on this whole earth that I know is you.
John Henry Irons : I just wanna make sure we don't attract any unwanted attention.
Natalie Irons : You mean like the same kind you get from flying around the world in a steel war suit with Superman?

Clark Kent : What's going on?
Lois Lane : Well, I went to finally talk to Natalie and I realized I couldn't let her leave again.
Jonathan Kent : So... so, what? They're... they're moving here now or...
Lois Lane : They're gonna stay in Smallville for a while and see how they like it here. And if it's okay with you guys, stay at the farm until they find someplace to live.
Clark Kent : Whatever we can do to help.
Lois Lane : Natalie, this is my husband Clark, and these are my boys, Jonathan and Jordan.
Jonathan Kent : Hi.
Jordan Kent : Hi.
Jonathan Kent : It's nice to finally meet you.
Natalie Irons : Yeah, you, too. My dad's told me a lot about you guys.
Lois Lane : Why don't we go inside and you guys can show her around?
Jonathan Kent : Sure, yeah.
John Henry Irons : [staying behind with Clark] You sure you're okay with this?
Clark Kent : Of course. Happy to help a friend.
