Quotes 

• Linda Lake : Clark Kent. He can save the entire in the blink of an eye, but when it comes to ladies, the Red-Blue Blur still rides with the brakes on.

• Davis Bloome : What do want from me?

  Linda Lake : I want you to release the beast and break me out of these restraints.

  Davis Bloome : It doesn't exactly work like that.

  Linda Lake : Don't waste your time with the pills. I've seen what you can do.

  Davis Bloome : You don't understand. You don't know what you're dealing with!

  Linda Lake : No. *You* don't understand. I don't want to spend another second trapped in a cell. Do you want me to tell Chloe who you really are?

  [Davis grows angry and falls to floor, his eyes turn to red as he begins to transform into Doomsday] 

  Linda Lake : That's a good boy. Become the thing you are meant to be.

  Davis Bloome : Stop.

  Linda Lake : Let it go.

  Davis Bloome : Shut up!

  Linda Lake : Set me free!

• Linda Lake : Ready to earn your stripes as City editor?

  Randall Brady : Linda Lake. Well, there's a name I haven't seen in a while. Here to reclaim the stiletto out of your assistant's back?

• Davis Bloome : [after hearing a patient is looking for him]  Uh, this must be some mistake. I don't know you.

  Linda Lake : While I've been puddling around Metropolis for the last week, I've seen lots of interesting stories. What a nice surprise to stumble upon your dirty little secret. Painful breathing, pale complexion... unsightly bone protrusions.

  Davis Bloome : You don't know what you're talking about.

  Linda Lake : Right. You just have a terrible skin condition.

• Lois Lane : You see a parade, and you just have to rain on it, don't you? You can't stand the fact that there are actually good people in this world.

  Linda Lake : If your boyfriend really cared about saving people, he would have done things my way.

  Lois Lane : People looked up to him. He could have been the hero they always needed.

  Linda Lake : Funny thing about people. The only thing they love more than building up heroes is tearing them down.

• Clark Kent : I know what you're planning.

  Linda Lake : Mr. Kent. I was just thinking about you. Two years is too long to go without a visit.

  Clark Kent : You're not gonna run my story.

  Linda Lake : Oh, your story? Oh, so now you're not just super, you're psychic.

  Clark Kent : I'm a journalist now. I brought you my latest work.

  [giving her an article] 

  Clark Kent : It's about all the murders you committed. People are gonna know who you really are, and your word will mean nothing. You're going to jail.

  Linda Lake : I don't think so.

  [Clark pulls a cable from a circuit breaker and electrocutes her] 

  Clark Kent : No one can ever know my name.

• Linda Lake : I used to think a lot about rings. I thought getting one meant I'd found true happiness. But there is no such thing as true happiness in this world, is there?

  Clark Kent : Not when you only see the bad in people.

  Linda Lake : Look how fast they turned on you. One second, you're on top of the world, and the next, it's as if your life story's written in someone else's blood. Not that I care. This trumps your blur any day.

  Clark Kent : That ring, it's dangerous.

  Linda Lake : No. This ring is every journalist's dream. I'll know stories before they break. The entire world will know me.

• Linda Lake : Clark Kent, he's not a hero. He's not a savior. He's not even a friend. He is the first wave of an all-out alien invasion. My detailed investigation has revealed that Clark Kent is to blame for meteor showers, deadly power outages, and an unspeakable trail of human carnage.

  Chloe Sullivan : [watching on TV]  When it rains, it pours.

  Linda Lake : But Smallville was home to a real hero. A hero that tried to stop this alien before it ravaged our homeland again. And that hero... that hero was Lex Luthor. And Clark Kent killed him.

  Clark Kent : She just turned me into a public enemy.

  Chloe Sullivan : [glancing at the reporters outside]  Clark, you need to leave. Now!

  Clark Kent : I can straighten this out, Chloe. I'll talk to the authorities myself.

  Chloe Sullivan : [hearing sirens approach]  Looks like they wanna talk to you, too. Look, Clark, this is only gonna get worse. You need to leave while you still can.

  Clark Kent : I'm not running, Chloe. People need to know the truth. Now why don't you go out the back, okay? I'll catch up with you later.

  Chloe Sullivan : Be careful.

• Fanatic Teenager : Hey, Clark. Catch!

  [she jumps backwards off a fire escape, and he uses his powers to save her] 

  Fanatic Teenager : [kissing him on the cheek]  I'll fall for you any day, Clark.

  Clark Kent : You can't just do that. It's not s...

  Bystander : He just caught her. No way. Did you guys see that?

  [other bystanders clamor around him] 

  Linda Lake : [appearing]  You may have scooped me, but I will have the last word.

• Clark Kent : What are you doing here?

  Linda Lake : Watching you. Impressive as always.

  Clark Kent : You're a murderer. You should be in prison.

  Linda Lake : The police cleared my name. Besides, there's no prison sentence worse than where I've been, circling the drain of obscurity. I'm a nobody, Kent. Two years living underground dried up my prophetic pen. But I'm ready to make another splash.

• Clark Kent : Haven't your stories ruined enough lives?

  Linda Lake : Oh, no. It's different this time. I want to be the voice of the Red-Blue Blur. Every rescue, every takedown, every kitten that you rescue from a tree, you leak the story to me first. My name will be known alongside yours in papers around the globe.

  Clark Kent : Chloe was right. You are crazy.

  Linda Lake : I prefer ambitious. In fact, I spent a few hours of my morning...

  [holding up an article titled "The Truth About Clark Kent"] 

  Linda Lake : ...writing your life story. Partner with me, I'll shred it. You turn your back on me, and the whole world reads about little orphan alien.

  Clark Kent : We've gone through this before. I'll stop you.

  Linda Lake : Not this time. You'll make a great headline, Kent.
