Quotes
-
Clark Kent : I defeated Lex. I refused to let him win! And I pushed myself harder than before! For a second... I thought I was flying. But I saved everyone. I don't know how, I saved them all. I've finally become the hero you sent me to be.
Jor-El : [voice] Pride, vanity. You almost took a man's life, and you dare tell "me" you're following the path "I" set out for "you"?
Clark Kent : You told me I had unfinished business here, an evil here I had to face! And Lex...
Jor-El : The evil is "you", Kal-El. The greatest threat Earth will face is coming. It prays on wavering souls like yours. Once this darkness consumes you, you will be Earth's greatest enemy.
Clark Kent : That's not my fate.
Jor-El : You cannot be a beacon of hope when you have darkness in your heart.
Clark Kent : Then why did you send me back? Why did you give me a second chance?
Jor-El : "I" didn't. I was not "my" decision to give you back your life.
Clark Kent : You may not see me as a hero, but the rest of the world does! And I decide my fate!
Jor-El : I regret as a father, my faith in you blinded me to the truth. You will "never" be Earth's savior.
-
Clark Kent : I died to save the world.
Jor-El : [voice] Evil never ends. By sacrificing yourself, you've left the humans vulnerable to future threats.
Clark Kent : I left a team of heroes behind to protect them.
Jor-El : You were meant to be Earth's greatest protector. Now they're about to face the greatest evil without you.
Clark Kent : Then send me back. I know my fate! To step into the light. To be a symbol of hope for them.
Jor-El : I told you to rule with strength, but you chose the martyr's path. What makes you think you "deserve" a second chance?
Clark Kent : I can do it. I can be their hero!
-
Clark Kent : Am I dead?
Jor-El : You're teetering on the abyss between life and death, which is why I'm still able to reach you.
Clark Kent : My father's grave. Why show me this?
Jor-El : [brushing corn stalks aside, he sees it reads "Clark Kent"] After you die, this stone will be all that is left of you in the world.
