Clark Kent:
When will Watchtower be up and running?

Chloe Sullivan:
Well, I can't exactly call the Geek Squad, Clark. And I haven't really had much time to...

Clark Kent:
I've seen you overhaul Watchtower in one night, Chloe. What's the holdup?

Chloe Sullivan:
Watchtower's ready to go. I'm not. Clark, I found that footage of Jor-El and the Book of Rao months ago.

Clark Kent:
Why didn't you tell me?

Chloe Sullivan:
I'm sorry. You know, I got tangled in my own little world-wide web and I just lost track of what was important. Clark, when you disappeared from my life, I retracted into Watchtower. And as I became Big Brother, I... I guess more like Big Sister. It's easy to think that having all the information is the same as having all the answers. But I can't be the eye in the sky anymore, Clark. And now that I have Ollie, I... I wanna plug in to the real world. Virtual reality bites.

Clark Kent:
Chloe, what you've created here... It's bigger than both of us. It'll go on to serve future generations.

Chloe Sullivan:
I'm not the hero here.

Clark Kent:
You may not be saving people from train wrecks, Chloe, or shootouts, but you are just as much of a hero as the rest of us. We're on the brink of war, Chloe, and the world needs you. I need you. [There is a pause while Chloe looks touched and thankful for Clark's words. Then she pulls out a remote and pushes the button on it, and everything in Watchtower is back to normal]

Chloe Sullivan:
Clark, I just want you to know that even when I hurt you, I was trying to protect you.
