Superman : I had to take control. there was no other way. For too long, I fooled myself into thinking I was doing a simple cleanup job. That if I did enough good, people would follow my example. I didn't realize it was a war. And suddenly, you were a casualty in that war and I knew I had to stop it by whatever means possible.
Lois Lane : You did this because of me?
Superman : You never knew how I felt about you. *I* never knew... until you were gone.

Lois Lane : You could have said something! We could have talked about it, figured it out. But now look at you, married to Luthor.
Superman : I needed someone with the organization, the technology.
Lois Lane : But Luthor?
Superman : He just takes care of the day-to-day duties. He knows that if he ever tried anything, I'd crush him.
