Quotes 

• Secretary : Mr. Kent, your cousin is here to see you.

  Clark Kent : My cousin...?

  [Kara appears, wearing big glasses and a brown wig] 

  Kara : [whispering]  It's me, Kara.

  Clark Kent : I know.

  Kara : You saw through my secret identity?

• Weatherman : It's gonna be a gorgeous spring day in the nation's heartland, with temperatures reaching the high seventies. So all you folks in Smallville, Kansas, get out there and enjoy that great, big, beautiful sun.

  [cut to Kara flying through the sky, until Clark pulls her down to the ground] 

  Kara : Hey!

  Clark Kent : That's enough of that, Kara.

  Kara : Hey, Clark. It was such a nice day, I just thought I'd, you know, vroom!

  Clark Kent : What did we talk about? No "vroom" during the daytime.

• Clark Kent : How'd you get here all the way from Kansas?

  Kara : You told me not to "vroom" during the day. So I ran.

• [Clark tells Kara to wait for him at his apartment, before heading back to work] 

  Clark Kent : And *walk*.

• Trouble : You see, Metropolis, nobody can beat Intergang! Nobody!

  Superman : Well, then, just call me "nobody."

• Kara : Listen, I saw a report about Intergang on TV, and I thought you could really use my help.

  Clark Kent : Look, I appreciate your concern, Kara, but I don't want you to rush into something you're not ready for. I didn't save your life so you could throw it away fighting some ray gun-toting punks.

  Kara : But...

  Clark Kent : No buts. I gotta get back to work. Here's a key to my apartment. Wait for me there. We'll talk later.

• Martha Kent : So, Clark, will you be staying the night?

  Clark Kent : Sorry, Ma, Metropolis is having a sudden crime wave.

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah, I saw on TV that Intergang's back.

  Kara : Intergang? What's that?

  Clark Kent : Nothing you have to worry about.

  Kara : Who's worried? I was just asking.

  Martha Kent : They're a bunch of hoodlums with terrible weapons.

  Kara : Oh, yeah?

  Jonathan Kent : They caused Clark no end of trouble.

  Kara : Really?

  Clark Kent : Thanks, guys. I gotta go.

  [mussing Kara's hair] 

  Clark Kent : You be good.

  Kara : Yeah, yeah. Feet on the ground, I know.

  [Clark leaves] 

  Kara : So, Pa, Intergang, huh?

• Superman : Personal journal: after following the coordinates from my ship's initial flight recorder, I've finally retraced the ship's escape route from my home planet: Krypton.

  [scanning for surviving life] 

  Superman : Nothing. There's nothing out there but death.

  [getting an alert] 

  Superman : A distress signal. Coming from the edge of the system.

  [finding the source of the transmission] 

  Superman : No traces of kryptonite radiation. Let's drop in.

• Kala In-Ze : I am Kala In-Ze, chief physician of Argo City. Five years ago, Argo was a thriving, vibrant world. But then, without warning, our sister planet Krypton was destroyed in a giant chain of explosions. Krypton's destruction tore Argo from its orbit. The resulting devastation destroyed most of our world and sent it moving slowly, inexorably, away from our sun, leaving a few desperate survivors slowly freezing to death. There was nothing my people could do but pray our distress signals would be answered. But now, I can wait no longer. I have taken a desperate last chance to save my surviving family. To my knowledge, we are all that is left of Argo. Please help us.

  Superman : [as the recording ends, he continues looking around]  I'm too late.

  [spotting a stasis pod that still seems to be operational] 

  Superman : Maybe not.
