Tyler Hoechlin: Clark Kent, Superman

Quotes 

• Morgan Edge : I told you, Kal. No one can fight forever.

  [Clark's eyes glow red] 

  Morgan Edge : Father.

  [Zeta's hologram appears as Clark gets to his feet] 

  Superman : [with a deep, distorted voice]  You've done it, Zeta.

  Zeta-Ro : Yes, I have, and now we can move towards completing what we came here to do... General Zod.

• Lois Lane : So, Leslie Larr is still in the wind?

  Clark Kent : At this point, she doesn't really have a next move.

  General Sam Lane : Finding her is our number one priority. Good news is, between you and Mr. John Henry Irons, smart money says she'll be in custody by the end of the week. And then DOD packs up, heads home. Maybe this town can breathe again. Not to mention this family. For what it's worth, Lois, about yesterday...

  Lois Lane : I know, Dad. You were just doing your job.

  General Sam Lane : What I wanted to say is I'm proud of you. When the chips were down, you still had faith, and that's what made the difference. I'm very glad you're better, Clark. I won't doubt you again.

• General Sam Lane : John, talk to me. Is Superman...

  John Henry Irons : He's been turned.

  General Sam Lane : Are you sure?

  Superman : [landing behind Irons]  You won't stop what's coming. None of you can stop this.

  John Henry Irons : I'm sure.

  [Clark punches him backward, then starts pounding on his helmet] 

  General Sam Lane : Irons, listen to me. You are fully authorized to retaliate. Weaken him and then take him out.

  Lois Lane : No, Dad, wait.

  General Sam Lane : He's gotta fire that missile or he's dead.

  Lois Lane : That solar missile is only good for one shot. If he wastes it, we have nothing to use against Edge. John's got to get through to him or they're both dead.

• Jordan Kent : Where are you?

  Superman : The Badlands.

  Morgan Edge : [picking him up by the throat]  You think your boy can help you?

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, what's wrong?

  Morgan Edge : If you send anyone for your father, know this: he won't be the man they find waiting.

  Jonathan Kent : Is he still alive?

  Jordan Kent : We need to go. We need to go right now.

• Morgan Edge : It's been a long time since you've felt pain, hasn't it, Kal? Or perhaps you've never felt it, which will make this process all the more excruciating. Pain is a weakness my father removed from me after I arrived here. I remember it, though. Wanting nothing more than my suffering to end. All you have to do is submit, and yours will cease.

  Superman : Listen to me.

  Morgan Edge : You gave me your word, Kal.

  Superman : Please.

  Morgan Edge : Submit.

  Superman : I can help you, brother.

  Morgan Edge : I am not your brother! You rejected me. Remember? Rejected your family, your own people, for them. So be it. Delay the inevitable. Fight as long as you can, but eventually, you will fade as this new mind comes to light. Not even Superman is strong enough to resist the will of Zod.

• John Henry Irons : Clark, Lois sent me to help you. She still believes in you. I met your boys, and they believe in you, too. And let me tell you something, man, I know what it means to lose the people you love. That pain you feel right now, that is nothing compared to what happens if you lose them. Right now, you got a chance to fight. Do not let that bastard take you away from your family. You remember who you are, and you fight back, damn it! You fight!

  [recalling memories of Lois and the boys, Clark screams and rolls over unconscious; after a moment, he opens his eyes] 

  John Henry Irons : [helping him to his feet, then turning on his comms]  We got him. He's back.

  Lois Lane : John, can he hear me? Superman?

  Superman : I'll be back soon.

  [to Irons] 

  Superman : First, you and I are gonna deal with Morgan Edge.

• Lois Lane : John, you can't beat him. You have to make him remember who he is.

  [surprised to see Clark trying to fight the eradication, Irons summons his hammer and strikes him; flying over, he strikes Clark again, then prepares to fire the solar rocket] 

  Lois Lane : John, please don't.

  General Sam Lane : He's got no choice.

  Superman : [in his normal voice, still fighting the eradication]  You gotta do it.

  Lois Lane : [hearing him]  John, he's still in there. John, please.

  Superman : I can't stop.

  Lois Lane : John, he's still in there. I promise you can get through to him. Please.

  Superman : You... you gotta save 'em. You... you gotta save 'em. You gotta do it, John. I can't stop.

• Superman : Hey.

  Lois Lane : Hey, yourself.

  Superman : [kissing, then to the boys]  All right, you two.

  [hugging them] 

  Superman : You did good.

  Jordan Kent : It was all his idea. We were just trying to think, what would you do?

  Jonathan Kent : How'd you do it, Dad? How'd you break free?

  Superman : Thought about you guys, remembered what I was fighting for. I had a little bit of help.

  [the Steel armor lands behind them] 

  Superman : It's okay. It's okay. He's on our side.

  John Henry Irons : [disengaging the helmet]  Lois.

  Lois Lane : [mouthing]  Thank you.

  Superman : John, you've, uh, you've actually met our kids before.

  John Henry Irons : Ah, yeah, I remember. Nice to do this under better circumstances.

  Jonathan Kent : Thank you. And, uh, I never said sorry about hitting you with a truck. No... no hard feelings.

  John Henry Irons : [with a laugh]  The good news is, Morgan Edge is in a state-of-the-art military prison. He's never gonna hurt anyone again.
