Example conversation
"It's not wrong if it's the truth!" "As long as you've done everything you can, Clark, you've nothing to regret. And you always do everything you can. Always. You know that... don't you?" "You're my boss, not my shrink... Please don't try to analyze me, Perry." " I know you too well, Smallville... do you honestly believe there'll be no Superman-ing whatsoever?"
