Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : If I'd known about the long drop in, I would have brought some rappelling equipment.

  Clark Kent : If I'd have known you'd ignore my warning to come here, I would have told you to bring it! I know what I'm doing! You should have trusted me.

  Oliver Queen : You should have more faith in your friends, Clark. I came here to help you. Wherever the hell this is.

• Oliver Queen : Listen, about this zone, Clark - you know, when you said Jor-El built a prison, I kind of pictured something more confined than a national park.

  Clark Kent : He built this place so Krypton's worst criminals could have some kind of life.

  Oliver Queen : Sounds like a real sweetheart.

• Zod : At least here, you're on equal footing with Kal-El. Having to work alongside with someone with the powers of a god must be so demoralizing.

  Oliver Queen : My ego's firmly intact, thank you very much.

• Zod : I've seen what Darkseid is capable of.

  Oliver Queen : What do you know?

  Zod : After the Kandorians sent me here, a very powerful entity came looking for me. Darkseid promised me lordship of this dominion if I solved one problem for him.

  Oliver Queen : Clark.

  Zod : Darkseid has certain ambitions for your planet.

  Oliver Queen : The thing is, we took care of that. We blocked him. Took out three of his three little minions, too.

  Zod : Kal-El might delude himself as usual, that's how he's won, but there are millions - millions on Earth just waiting to surrender to the will of Darkseid, and you... friend, are one of them.

• Tess Mercer : Your hunch was right. The constellation in the Veritas journal cross-translates with Carter's notes as the Bow of Orion and as associated with these coordinates in the Celtic Coast. Since we're going Dutch on supersonic jet fuel, do you mind telling me why you're suddenly interested in this treasure hunt?

  Oliver Queen : It's not a treasure. It's, uh... It's Hawkman's quest. He saw this guy Orion use it the last time he used it to kick Darkseid's ass across the universe. But he never was able to locate the weapon that the hunter used to defeat him. My family's Veritas journals were the missing piece that Hawkman never had. Now we know where to look for the weapon, so... It's my job to go find it.

  Tess Mercer : Oliver. Fighting Darkseid isn't your own personal quest. We're all in this together.

  Oliver Queen : I just need you to trust me on this one, okay?

  Tess Mercer : There's enough water under our collective bridge that if you need me not to ask questions... I can do that.

• Oliver Queen : What if one of us were to get infected with the darkness? What do we do then?

  Clark Kent : We'd have to lock them up. Darkness is a powerful thing. It almost got me once. And once it gets in... I don't think there's a way out.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, hey, I mean, at least we took care of Zod, right? Can't say I'll be missing that guy. Some of the things he said...

  Clark Kent : Half the things that come out of his mouth are a lie. He knows how to take the greatest fear you have about yourself and use it against you.

  Oliver Queen : Right. Well, I'll tell you what, I know someone's darkest fear will be never seeing her fiancé again. Clark, Lois has got to be worried sick. You should go see her. This... this is nothing. I'll be fine. Go. Get out of here.

• Oliver Queen : In terms of crippling wounds, I've had worse.

  Tess Mercer : From friendly fire?

  Clark Kent : Wasn't really part of the plan.

  Oliver Queen : Well, come on, now. You were the man with the plan. Get Zod to pit us against each other knowing that he'd want to finish you off himself. That's very smart.

  Clark Kent : Gave us a chance to grab the crystal. But the plan isn't why we're here. We're here because we trusted each other. I knew that whatever Zod said to Oliver, he'd still follow through.

• Zod : I was looking for a brother in Kal-El. I was. Ultimately, I realized we have nothing in common. Unlike you and I.

  Oliver Queen : He does set the bar pretty high, doesn't he?

  Zod : Kal-El would never embrace his dark side, and because of that, he will die here. But you... you can be saved, if you're brave enough to walk along that darker path. You have to honor it. You have to draw from that darkness, because if you don't... you will die.

• Zod : After your parents were murdered, that anger... and desire for revenge. Ah, you can feel it now, can't you? That... darkness bubbling under the surface. It terrifies you.

  Oliver Queen : Even if that were true, I'd beat it.

  Zod : Too late. You're an agent of Darkseid now, just one of the many sinful souls at his beck and call. What would Clark think, knowing you were a marked man?

  Oliver Queen : He would, uh... he'd stand by me.

  Zod : But his faith in you would be compromised. That mistrust, it would grow. It would manifest like a cancer. Inevitably, you'll be cast aside out of his good graces, like I was.

• Oliver Queen : We have a better chance of surviving your dad's desert than Zod's Thunderdome.

  Clark Kent : Heading out into the wasteland's not gonna help us.

  Oliver Queen : Rather take my chances playing paddy-cakes with the phantoms.

  Clark Kent : Zod has what we need to get home. We're running out of time. Before you invited yourself, Tess and I put a plan in motion to protect Earth if any phantoms escaped.

  Oliver Queen : What'd she do, set it to self-destruct?

  [seeing his look] 

  Oliver Queen : She set it to self-destruct.

  Clark Kent : [nodding]  It's the only option.

  Oliver Queen : How's Lois feel about that?

  Clark Kent : Lois doesn't know. But I hope to get us out of here before we have to worry about that.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, how you gonna do that? You can't bend metal in here. You can't superspeed us back in time, Clark.

  Clark Kent : I know everything that Jor-El wrote about the Phantom Zone. And I know how Zod thinks.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I hope all your studying paid off, 'cause it's test time.

• Tess Mercer : Clark, there's gotta be a better way to solve this than sending yourself into interdimensional exile.

  Clark Kent : Someone's releasing people from the Phantom Zone. I need to figure out who and why before they release anyone else.

  Oliver Queen : You mean "we", right? I'm going with him.

  Clark Kent : You told Oliver I was going in?

  Oliver Queen : Hey, I come back here willing to risk life and limb with you in the Phantom Zone, I get not so much as a "welcome back"?

  Tess Mercer : Clark, you'll be powerless there. Oliver has more experience with that.

  Oliver Queen : Thanks. You could use me in there.

  Clark Kent : Absolutely not. I appreciate the offer, but the Phantom Zone is not a place for humans. I need to do this alone.
