Quotes 

• Jor-El : Lara, the model can carry only one of us -- you, Lara!

  Lara : No. If only one of us can be saved, it should be the child.

  Jor-El : Alright. Get him. Wrap him in a blanket and bring him here.

• Lara : Here he is, Jor-El.

  Jor-El : Do you have him well-wrapped?

  Lara : [crying]  Yes. Oh, he's so good -- not even a whimper.

• Jor-El : The model *might* carry both of you, Lara.

  Lara : No, I'm not going.

  Jor-El : You must!

  Lara : My place is here, with you!

  Jor-El : Lara, please! There isn't time! The takeoff pressure is building up! In a few seconds now...

  Lara : I'd be lost in a new world without you, Jor-El! If anyone is to survive, let it be our son.

  [She holds Kal-El's head to her cheek for the last time and hands him to Jor-El, who places him in the rocket and shuts the door.]
