Smallville (TV Series)

Recruit (2005)

Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : Who would have thought? Geoff Johns always seemed like a nice kid.

  Clark Kent : I know. If I take this football scholarship, I'm gonna be in the same situation as Geoff. I'm gonna have to lie on every physical, rig every test. I'm gonna have to do anything I can to protect my secret. I want to believe that I could go out there and play football like any normal college kid, but the fact is I have powers that no other athlete has. Coop was right; it's not fair that Geoff was out there on that field, just like it's not fair when I'm out there competing. So I've decided to give up football.

  Martha Kent : [temporarily stunned]  Clark... I know how difficult it is to give up something you love.

  Jonathan Kent : But this decision you've made, son, shows integrity well beyond your years.

  Clark Kent : Then why don't I feel good about it?

  [Jonathan glances down at an invoice on the table] 

  Jonathan Kent : Look at me, Clark. If you have your heart set on going to Met U, or any other school, somehow, some way, your mother and I will make sure that you get to go. Is that understood?

  Clark Kent : [smiles]  Yeah.
