Michele Scarabelli: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Martha Kent : After you left, I had a dream of you flying, only it wasn't the boy that I knew. It was you now, so I made this.

  Clark Kent : Mom... leaving you after Dad died...

  Martha Kent : Oh, honey, it's what you needed to do then, and this is what you need to do now. It's time for you to save the world, Clark.

  [he unfurls the super-suit] 

  Martha Kent : Still needs something on the chest, I think.

• Martha Kent : [meeting Lois for the first time]  She's wonderful.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, I know.

  Martha Kent : So, what took you so long to bring her here?

  Clark Kent : Well, because I needed to be ready.

  Martha Kent : To meet me?

  Clark Kent : That's not what I meant. I brought her here to tell her who I really am.

  Martha Kent : Oh. Are you sure? Once you tell her, there's no going back.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, well... there was no going back after the first time I saw her.

  Martha Kent : I'm so happy for you, honey.

  Lois Lane : [entering as they hug]  Everything okay?

  Martha Kent : Everything's perfect, dear. Just perfect.

  Clark Kent : [leading her out]  You, follow me. I wanna show you something.

• Martha Kent : Did you find what you were looking for?

  Clark Kent : Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I found out who I really am. I met my Kryptonian father.

  Martha Kent : Kryptonian?

  Clark Kent : Krypton is my home planet, where I'm really from. I know why I can do the things I can do, Mom. I know why I was sent to Earth. To be its champion.

  Martha Kent : Is that why you came back home? To be a hero?

  Clark Kent : Yeah, but not yet. There's someone I need to see first.

• Martha Kent : [after Clark learns Lana is married]  I'm sorry, Clark. But you were gone a long time. People move on with their lives.

  Clark Kent : Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

  Martha Kent : Come with me. There's something I want to show you.

• Martha Kent : Oh, I'm so glad you could make it. Oh, look at you. Ever since Clark told me about the two of you, I couldn't wait to have you out to the farm.

  Clark Kent : Told you.

  Lois Lane : Well, I'm happy to finally make it.

  Martha Kent : [taking a bouquet of flowers]  Oh, thank you. Lots of folks in Smallville are dying to meet you, too.

  Clark Kent : Mom, Mom, Mom, you promised.

  Martha Kent : Oh, Clark. It's just the neighbors and Edelsteins and, you know, girls from bridge club, so...

  Lois Lane : Well, I'm very excited to meet everyone.

  Martha Kent : Well, come on inside. I've got lunch waiting.
