Quotes 

• Clark Kent : The fortress is dead. Everything's changing. Dad's gone. I can't talk to Lex. Lana's...

  [pause] 

  Clark Kent : I don't know where to go from here.

  Martha Kent : Neither did I when I was your age. Just follow your heart and you'll always do the right thing.

  Clark Kent : Maybe some Kryptonians believed the same thing. Jor-El sacrificed himself trying to save Krypton. Raya died saving me.

  Martha Kent : Every world needs its heroes, Clark. They inspire us to be better than we are. And they protect us from the darkness that's just around the corner.

• Martha Kent : What happened to my son, Jor-El?

  Jor-El : Banished forever by Zod.

  Martha Kent : Bring him back. You have to bring him home.

  Jor-El : Not within my power. His destiny is now his own.

  Martha Kent : I've lost my husband and now my son because of your games.

  Jor-El : We have both lost much, Martha Kent. But you must put aside your anguish if you wish to save your world. Kal-El's mission must be completed. Retrieve the dagger and kill Zod's vessel Lex Luthor.

  Martha Kent : You want me to murder Lex?

  Jor-El : Zod has taken over his body and given him all the powers of a true Kryptonian.

  Martha Kent : How am I supposed to do that?

  Jor-El : You must find a way or all is lost.

  Martha Kent : All right. Send me back.

  Jor-El : Everything you will have done for Kal-El you have my deepest gratitude. I could not have wished for a brighter light to guide my son. Farewell, Martha Kent.

• Lana Lang : Where's Clark?

  Martha Kent : Lana. I don't know where Clark is.

  Lana Lang : I heard him talking to Chloe about killing Lex. I didn't understand what was happening.

  Lionel Luthor : Lana, where's Lex? We have to find him.

  Lana Lang : It's too late. The things he can do now, I don't think there's anyone on Earth who can stop him.

  Martha Kent : There might be.

  [showing her the dagger] 

  Martha Kent : I have to kill him with this.

  Lana Lang : You would never get close enough to even use that. But I can. A lot of people are going to die if you don't let me do this. It's the only way.

• Jor-El : Martha Kent.

  Martha Kent : Jor-El. This is the fortress Clark told me about. Why did you bring us here? Why did you crash our plane?

  Jor-El : You were taken as pawns by the Brain InterActive Construct. The being you know as Milton Fine.

  Martha Kent : Clark...

  Jor-El : I gave him a dagger to kill the vessel of Zod. Instead, he chose to use it against Fine.

  Martha Kent : Where is he? Where... where is Clark?

  Jor-El : The dagger is part of this fortress. Plunging it into Fine destroyed all copies of him. But also damaged this structure and released Zod.

• Martha Kent : Lionel told me his connection to Jor-El is gone.

  Clark Kent : Along with any influence he had over him.

  Martha Kent : Maybe we're all better off without Jor-El in our lives.
