Sharon Taylor: Faora
Quotes
-
Zod : I've trusted you for so very long. Depended on you across time and space. But in your eyes, I just see contempt. I see betrayal. Now, why would you turn your back on me? I shared my bed with you.
Faora : I didn't turn my back on *you*. You turned your back on us when our only crime was trying to forge a life for ourselves on this planet.
Zod : If I ever learned that insurrection had spread across my ranks, if I ever discovered that my men had aligned themselves against me, I would raze this planet. I would burn it to the ground till the last ember went cold beneath my boot! Now only I *will* lead us to the next age. All will follow Zod.
Faora : You already sacrificed one world for your ego.
Zod : You know nothing of sacrifice.
Faora : I know more than you ever will.
Zod : Kneel.
Faora : Never.
-
Zod : Seems like a lifetime ago when I pulled you out of that rubble, doesn't it?
Faora : The siege of Argo. There were many losses that day.
Zod : Not for me. Because I found a young and... beautiful cadet who would become my trusted right hand. Oh, you were so brave in the face of death. I knew then that you would be a true partner.
-
Amanda Waller : Our field offices were just leveled by the one you call Zod.
Faora : We knew nothing about this. Zod is acting alone. We stand apart. We only want peace.
Amanda Waller : Dozens of my agents are dead. We are way past peace.
Faora : Then we will help you stop him.
Amanda Waller : Defecting means betraying your own kind.
Faora : I'm only betraying one.
-
Faora : I know how much I am asking of you in standing against Zod. I will not let my child be raised under a tyrant's rule. We cannot let our future be guided by a tyrant's hand. Our past ended in war. Let our future begin with peace.
-
Faora : Zod's been looking for something ever since we arrived. The Book of Rao.
Clark Kent : Zod said the Book of Rao was some sort of Kryptonian bible.
Faora : It's so much more than that. It wields great power. And if Zod were to get his hands on it... then who knows what he would do?
-
Faora : [Clark shows her Jor-El's journal] Zod. He destroyed Krypton.
Clark Kent : My father sent those messages here to Earth to help me stop history from repeating itself. I trusted Zod, too. That's why I didn't tell you any of this sooner. Look, the circumstances may be different, but Zod cannot be trusted. On Krypton, he destroyed that planet to prove a point. We can't let him do the same thing here.
Faora : I'd hoped what Zod had given me would reunite our people.
Clark Kent : What he gave you? At the ceremony, your sister was protecting you.
[he notices her subtly touch her stomach; with his super-hearing, he hearts a heartbeat]
Clark Kent : You're pregnant. And Zod's the father?
[she nods, crying]
Clark Kent : This baby is proof that you can still have a life here, apart from Zod without powers. Faora... Krypton lives on through you.
-
Clark Kent : I'm glad you've found a way to preserve our culture here on Earth.
Faora : I wish everyone saw it that way. Zod disappeared and took the rest of our people with him.
Clark Kent : I don't understand. I thought all of you'd found a new life here on Earth.
Faora : We were wrong to follow you, Kal-El. When we did what you asked, and tried to assimilate with the humans, we were left behind. We're gathered here, waiting for Zod's return to ask his forgiveness.
Clark Kent : I'm sorry, Faora. I never meant to divide our people. But you cannot realign with Zod.
Faora : You've never trusted him, Kal-El. All Zod wanted was to give us powers so we could protect ourselves.
Clark Kent : Zod already has powers. He's had them for weeks. Faora, there's something you need to see.
