Jonathan Kent:
Congratulations are in order. Coach Quigley called; you made the football team.

Clark Kent:
You don't have to worry, dad. I'm not gonna hurt anyone. I know how to control my abilities.

Jonathan Kent:
The person I'm worried about you hurting, Clark, is yourself. You're gonna be tempted to... run just a little bit faster, to throw the ball just far enough to win every game.

Clark Kent:
[indignantly] You think I'm gonna cheat? I won't cross that line.

Jonathan Kent:
You won't even know where that line is, Clark. Come on, think about it. You're out there, your friends are giving it their all; you're gonna do whatever it takes to win. That's football, son. And with you, it's never gonna be a fair competition.

Clark Kent:
Well, let's talk about what's fair. What's the first thing you remember about high school when you think back?

Jonathan Kent:
No, no, no...

Clark Kent:
Don't tell me it's not football. I want that, too, dad. And I'm sick of begging for the same chances that you just had. I want my own life.
