Smallville, 5th Season, Exposed

Lex: Tell me what you remember about King David.

Clark: King David?? Slew Goliath, saved his people…

Lex: And afterward, he saw a beautiful woman bathing and felt madly in love. The problem was, she turned out to be his best friend’s wife. So you know what our great hero did? He sent his best friend off to die in battle, so he could have her to himself.

We all need to believe in heroes, Clark. And even the best ones, are far from perfect.

Smallville, 5th Season, Splinter

Prof. Milton Fine:

Brutus and Caesars. Jesus and Judas. They all started out as best friends. What happened? Well, if history teaches us one thing, it’s that even the most powerful men can be betrayed by those they trust the most.

The reason betrayal is such a predominant theme throughout history is really quite simple.

Duplicity is human nature.
