Quotes 

• Lara-El : Kal-El was helping me check the solar panels when he discovered a playmate. I heard you had fun, too.

  Jor-El : Oh, yes, I encountered a very friendly shoggot. All in all, I prefer your arms.

• Lara-El : Think we can get the baby to bed early?

  Jor-El : I have to go down to Brainiac operations.

  Lara-El : No.

  Jor-El : Lara, he's lying.

  Lara-El : He's a machine.

  Jor-El : He's still lying. I have to know why.

  Lara-El : Has it occurred to you that Brainiac could be right, that somewhere along the way, you might've made a mistake? I mean, it's no crime to be wrong, Jor-El!

  Jor-El : [Kal starts crying]  Please, Lara.

  Lara-El : Go, Jor-El. Find out once and for all. We've lived like this too long. Your theories are more destructive than you can imagine.

• Sul-Van : All I can tell you, Lara, is that if he persists in predicting the end of the world, it'll the end, all right, of his political and professional career.

  Lara-El : But what if he's right, Father?

  Sul-Van : Try convincing the Council. He hasn't one supporter for his theory. They even avoid him in the hallways. And do you know why?

  Jor-El : Why is that, Sul-Van?

  Sul-Van : Because you can never be wrong, Jor-El. You can never let it go. You have an ego the size of Argos.

  Jor-El : I never let my ego get in the way of the facts.

  Sul-Van : Well, let me let you in on a little fact. Unless Brainiac agrees with you, it's all over. No more expeditions, no more research, no more...

  Jor-El : [an earthquake begins]  It's another temblor.

• Lara-El : We're moving. What forsaken spot are we going to now?

  Jor-El : Home, Lara.

  Lara-El : Home?

  Jor-El : That's right. What's the matter, five months in this deep freeze not enough for you?

  Lara-El : No. It's just that once we're back, you'll start going over the data. I keep thinking, what if it supports your theory? What then?

  Jor-El : We can deal with it. Trust me. The truth can only help.

• Jor-El : I've got the hyperspace coordinates locked in. Once he gets to Earth, he'll be safe. Lara, I could send you with him. There's a risk, but if I have time to recalibrate the course...

  Lara-El : No, my love. I'm staying with you.

• Sul-Van : Lara, please, this is madness!

  Lara-El : Father, I love you dearly, but this is my baby's life.

  Sul-Van : [of Jor-El]  But he can't outrun the police.

  Lara-El : Do you have a better idea?

• Lara-El : What happened?

  Jor-El : Brainiac tried to kill me. The police will be here soon. Remember when I told you what we'd do if worst came to worse?

  Lara-El : No!

  Jor-El : I'm sorry. I never thought it would come to this.

  Sul-Van : Come to what? What are you talking about? What's this nonsense about Brainiac?

  Jor-El : Sul-Van, if you love your grandson and care one whit about his future, you'll kindly shut up!
