Simon Templeman: Lord Nor

Quotes 

• Lord Nor : I assume the sentence will be carried out post-haste.

  Lois Lane : What about Kal-El's appeal?

  Lord Nor : Well he admittedly is well-built, but he is a trifle dull for my taste.

  Lois Lane : I meant his legal options.

  Lord Nor : Oh, that... There are none.

• Drull : Citizen's committee's drawn up a petition. They demand more food and water for the people.

  Lord Nor : Oh, that's only fair. Kill the committee, and distribute their portion among the rest.

  [pause] 

  Lord Nor : Leadership is problem solving.

• 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!
