Quotes 

• Clark Kent : The more I try to be Kal-El, the more I know that I am Clark.

• Lois Lane : Seems like years ago we stood at this window and said goodbye to each other.

  Clark Kent : That was the worst night of my life.

  Lois Lane : Did any part of meeting up with your roots feel good? I mean, was it satisfying in any way, or was it disappointment to you?

  Clark Kent : Maybe all of those. I kept waiting for this incredible feeling of connection, like I was exactly where I belonged... But that's only happened to me once in my life.

  Lois Lane : When?

  Clark Kent : The day I met you.

  Lois Lane : [tears forming in her eyes]  For a space man, you are the most romantic person I've ever known. Earth guys don't stand a chance against you.

  [they kiss] 

  Clark Kent : [pulls away, lifting the necklace up to show her]  I told you I'd keep it safe.

  Lois Lane : As safe as your love for me?

  Clark Kent : Mm-hmm.

  [stands and gently turns her around to sit on the stairs, kneeling] 

  Clark Kent : Marry me, Lois. Let's not plan, let's not wait, let's not let clone-makers or psycho-psychiatrists, or women who shrink people into little people keep us apart. Just marry me.

  Lois Lane : You know, that's precisely what I was thinking.

• Clark Kent : Lois, I'm gonna beat this guy Nor. And then the Kryptonians can go back, and they can solve their own problems. And faster than a speeding bullet, you and I are gonna get married.

• Ran : Kal-El, in accordance with your legal rights you have a visitor. A particularly vile earth women.

  Lois Lane : Watch it, I'm his favorite concubine.

  Kal-El : [Waves the other men away]  Lois you've gotta be careful with these guys, you make 'em mad and they might...

  Lois Lane : I know I'm sorry, I get upset, I shoot my mouth off, I don't know if you've noticed.

  Kal-El : [Smiles]  I have.

  [Pulls her close and hugs her] 

• Clark Kent : What the heck was that?

  Ching : There is a mindset crucial to all masters. A point in the match where the man becomes the weapon. All else vanishes. No doubts, no heart, no mercy, just the kill.

  Zara : You have not shown us that.

  Clark Kent : And I won't. Because that's not me.

  Ching : Yes it is Clark. It's a part of the Kryptonian will that lies within you.

  Clark Kent : I've never believed in killing. I've closed my mind to Kryptonian instincts like that.

  Ching : Then I doubt you will survive the duel.

• Lois Lane : Clark!

  Martha Kent : Clark don't go. Honey a lot more lives are at stake than ours.

  Jonathan Kent : Clark, get out of here.

  Kal-El : I can't do that dad. They'd kill you.

  Lois Lane : [Sees Clark disappearing and she starts to cry]  No... no.

• Clark Kent : It's not me who kept you from the throne. It's the law of your own people.

  Lord Nor : On the contrary, the law of my people will place me on the throne! You are under arrest.

  Clark Kent : Under arrest? For what?

  Martha Kent : He hasn't done anything.

  Jonathan Kent : You're the one who's breaking the law.

  Lois Lane : You hired an assassin to kill him. Is that legal?

  Lord Nor : Excuse me, do any of you hold Kryptonian law degrees?

  Lois Lane : No.

  Lord Nor : Then shut up!

• Clark Kent : [to the Council]  Don't you see the railroad job going on here? All Zara and I are guilty of is trying to save our people because I was grateful to a planet that gave me life, and to my father, Jor-El, who saved my life. My father was honest and good, and so I imagined this great society filled with noble ideals, and I imagined that saving this society from war was worth turning my back on everything and everyone that I loved.

  Lord Nor : Oh, it is a noble society, Kal-El, and you are its nightmare. A duplicitous, lying halfbreed bent on seizing the throne, diluting the bloodline, and ending the culture. My lords, if you do not banish this man, there's no telling what he'll do to you and to Lady Zara. The ruling couple of New Krypton will most likely be a halfbreed and his earthly slut.

  Clark Kent : [Clark loses his temper for the first time, yelling as he stalks toward Nor]  Nor!
