Jordan Elsass: Jonathan Kent

Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : I mean, Candice, you were there. You saw it. Literally not a single pass play this week. Dad, did you talk to Coach Gaines yet?

  Clark Kent : Yes, I did talk to him. He's just easing you back into things.

  Jonathan Kent : Okay, yeah, but we've been practicing for two weeks.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, I know, Jonathan, but you broke your arm twice last year.

  Jonathan Kent : Okay, and yeah, but it healed.

  Candice Pergande : Listen, I'm sure Coach is just looking out for your best interest. Maybe you could talk to him, let him know you're frustrated, and see what he says.

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah, you're right. I knew I was dating you for a reason.

  Clark Kent : [hearing trouble]  Hey, I'm gonna walk down to Hubbard's farm. Uh, Ben wanted me to look at the headers on his combine.

  Jonathan Kent : All right, uh, yeah, we'll just... we'll just be hanging out, then.

  Candice Pergande : [behind their backs, he takes off into the sky]  So, how far away is Hubbard's farm?

• Lois Lane : Jonathan?

  Jonathan Kent : [she walks in on him and Candice kissing on his bed]  Whoa, Mom, Mom...

  Candice Pergande : Oh, my God.

  Lois Lane : Candice, I need you to leave right now.

  Candice Pergande : Ms. Lane, I... I'm so sorry.

  Lois Lane : Right now!

  Jonathan Kent : Mom, I can explain.

  Lois Lane : You, where is your shirt?

  Jonathan Kent : Um, it's, um...

  Lois Lane : You know what? I don't even wanna hear whatever lame excuse your brain is concocting. Get dressed and meet me downstairs. We are going to have a serious conversation immediately!

• Lois Lane : What's that?

  Jordan Kent : Nothing.

  Lois Lane : Nothing?

  Jordan Kent : It's a surprise for Sarah.

  Lois Lane : You spending all day with her?

  Jordan Kent : She's been gone a month, Mom.

  Clark Kent : Just be home for dinner.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah. Yeah.

  Clark Kent : And, um... you know, it's Natalie's first day at school today. You think you wanna call her, wish her luck, something?

  Lois Lane : Clark, I don't know what to tell you. She still won't talk to me, okay? Gotta get to these interviews.

  Jonathan Kent : Dad, how long is she gonna be like this?

  Clark Kent : I don't know. Come on, in the truck. Let's go. Oh, windows down, please.

  Jordan Kent : [meaning his cologne]  Is it really that bad?

  Clark Kent : It's strong, bud. It's real strong.

• Clark Kent : Is everything okay?

  [seeing Jonathan and looking around] 

  Clark Kent : Where's Candice?

  Lois Lane : You knew she was here?

  Clark Kent : Yeah, I dropped them both off after practice. What happened?

  Lois Lane : Go up to your room.

  Jonathan Kent : Happily.

  Lois Lane : What happened is that I came home to find our not-even-old-enough-to-drive son in bed half-naked with Candice.

  Clark Kent : Jonathan, come on, man. What are you thinking?

  Lois Lane : He's 15 years old and home alone with his new girlfriend. It's pretty obvious what he was thinking.

  Clark Kent : What? You mean... no, th... I never would've done that when I was his age.

  Lois Lane : Well, then, he clearly takes after his mother.

  Clark Kent : Do you want me to go up and talk to him?

  Lois Lane : No, he's just gonna give you some bogus answer. But by the way, who knows what Jordan's up to right now?

  Clark Kent : Oh, Lois, come on.

  Lois Lane : What? He certainly didn't wanna tell us anything this morning.

  Clark Kent : He did tell us. He said he had a surprise for Sarah.

  Lois Lane : Well, if he can get away with that non-answer, then don't be surprised when we're grandparents nine months from now.

  Clark Kent : Wow.

  Lois Lane : Clark, you really don't get it, do you?

  Clark Kent : No. No, I guess I don't. But I'm trying to.

• Clark Kent : Hey, where's your brother?

  Jonathan Kent : Uh, I don't know, probably changing his outfit for the millionth time.

  Clark Kent : Jordan, let's go! Oh, whoa.

  Jonathan Kent : Something wrong?

  Clark Kent : Um...

  [coughing] 

  Clark Kent : you'll, uh... wow, you'll smell.

  [Jordan comes in] 

  Clark Kent : Whew.

  Jonathan Kent : Wow.

  Lois Lane : Interesting cologne, sweetie.

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah, you put on the whole bottle there, chief?

• Jonathan Kent : Hey, how did it go? Did, uh, did Sarah totally lose it or what?

  Jordan Kent : Not really. She wasn't feeling well.

  Jonathan Kent : Really? Did she say that?

  Jordan Kent : Yeah.

  Jonathan Kent : You sure she was telling the truth?

  Jordan Kent : Wait, why... why would she be lying about that?

  Jonathan Kent : Uh, I mean, I-I don't know. Just... I guess the timing seems a little sus, no? Jordan, hey, I-I wasn't trying to freak you out or anything. I'm sure it's all good.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah.

  Jonathan Kent : And just so you know, I think we might get a little talking-to from Dad later.

  Jordan Kent : About what?

• Jordan Kent : Hey, is everything okay out there?

  Clark Kent : Yeah, things seem to have settled down. Fortunately, nobody's hurt. That's not what I came up to talk about, though.

  Jordan Kent : Thanks, Jon.

  Jonathan Kent : Here we go.

  Clark Kent : No, no, no, no. No. Hey, this one's on you, buddy.

• Clark Kent : Now, we cannot have a repeat of what happened here today.

  Jonathan Kent : Well, I don't think you have to worry about that. I'm pretty much scarred for life, Dad.

  Clark Kent : Probably, yeah. Maybe you'll think twice next time. Look, you guys are both 15 years old. I get wanting to be intimate with someone, but that's an adult decision and it comes with some pretty adult feelings that you might not be ready for yet. So if and when you guys have any questions, you can always come to us, okay?

  Jordan Kent : All right, um, how old were you the first time you, you know?

  Clark Kent : Older than both of you.

  Jonathan Kent : [mouthing silently]  Mom.

  Clark Kent : I just want you guys to be responsible and more importantly, you respect whoever you're with. Always. Is that clear?

  Jordan Kent : Yes.

  Jonathan Kent : Of course.

  Clark Kent : Okay. Good talk.

  Jonathan Kent : Wait, does that mean that Mom's not gonna talk to us now, or...

  Clark Kent : Oh, no. No, you're gonna hear more than a few words from her. I think things are gonna get back to normal around here. Finally.

• 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.
