Conspiracy (2010)

Sharon Taylor: Faora

Quotes 

• Faora : [about Zod]  You've only known the man for a few short weeks. You have no right to pass judgment on him.

  Clark Kent : Let's just say I know him better than you think.

  Faora : Really? Where you by his side in the Argo Valley whe he almost died defending us all? He ran behind enemy lines alone to carry a cadet to safety... withstood laser scars and shrapnel wounds to bring her back home. That cadet was me. And if wasn't for Zod, I wouldn't be alive today. He's always been a hero. Ready to give his life for his people.

  Clark Kent : Like the way he protected my father?

  Faora : Regardless of their differences, I know, in his heart, Zod always considered Jor-El as one of his truest friends.

  Clark Kent : I guess that's a side of Zod I never knew existed.

• Clark Kent : It's not a good idea to advertise that you're from another planet.

  Faora : You may feel more human than Kryptonian. This is who I am.

  Clark Kent : Just when you're out in public, it's better to keep those tags hidden and play it safe.

  Faora : How can we be safe when someone destroyed our tower? It could have been brought down by anyone. I don't even know who to trust anymore.

• Faora : [seeing Vala is smitten with Clark]  Sister, don't get your hopes up. He's in love with a human. Close up and meet me across the street. You can drown your sorrows in one of their cappuccinos.

• Lois Lane : You know, since we started seeing each other, we never really... see each other. Maybe we should... stop and smell the roses.

  Clark Kent : Well, I know where we can find some. Across the street, romantic cafe.

  Lois Lane : Mm. I see a table for two in our future.

  Faora : Clark.

  Lois Lane : Who's the femme fatale?

  Clark Kent : An assignment that I can't put off.

  Lois Lane : Guess we should just hit the pause button on our rosy rendezvous.

  Clark Kent : Hmm. Thanks. I'm sorry.

  Lois Lane : It's fine. No problem, Smallville. Go win a Pulitzer.

• Clark Kent : How many people did Vala and the others work on?

  Faora : All I know is they stole the cadavers from the morgue to perform their tests. When the tests failed, they left the bodies behind for the authorities to find. They didn't kill anyone.

  Clark Kent : That doesn't make it right. These people didn't agree to be guinea pigs in your quest for power. Dead or alive, Zod should never have allowed it.

  Faora : Zod didn't know.

  Clark Kent : Given the way I've seen him command his troops, I find that hard to believe.

• Faora : Are there any witnesses? Someone who could identify the people responsible for stealing the bodies?

  Dr. Flores : I have no idea. You'd have to ask the attending M.E. who was here at the time.

  Clark Kent : When does he get in?

  Dr. Flores : Dr. Chisholm was forced to take a leave of absence. Psychiatric reasons.

  Clark Kent : You're gonna have to be more specific than that.

• Faora : Have you found my sister?

  Clark Kent : Not yet. But I haven't given up. Now, Zod told me that three Kandorians were abducted. Is that true?

  [she nods] 

  Clark Kent : What was Vala's connection to the other two?

  Faora : They're what you call... cybernetic engineers. Together, they were performing... tests, to get our powers. Perhaps these tests are to blame for her abduction.

  Clark Kent : You can tell me.

  Faora : They were experimenting on humans.

• Clark Kent : [after Faora shows up at the Planet]  I thought we agreed, the Daily Planet is off-limits.

  Faora : I had no choice. I didn't want to risk Zod finding out that I was contacting you. He doesn't trust you, Kal-El. But I think... you're the only person that can find my sister.

  Clark Kent : Vala? What happened?

  Faora : She's been kidnapped.

• Clark Kent : I know how much that tower meant to you, to all of you, but you can't change what happens in the past.

  Faora : Zod told us it was our salvation.

  Clark Kent : And he was wrong. Trust me, the future will be much brighter without it.

  Faora : Only one thing gives me hope. You found my sister and brought her back to me.
