Quotes 

• Andrus : Come, we return for your trial.

  Tempus : I don't think so.

  Andrus : Tempus, I speak to you as a fellow utopian. Return with me now, make amends for your crimes and save what is left of your soul.

  Tempus : Funny, no matter how you pretty it up it still sounds like prison to me.

• Andrus : You are a true force for evil, Tempus.

  Tempus : Oh, you're just saying that because I've got you tied to a chair and I'm about to plunge the world into a thousand years of darkness.

  Andrus : You won't get away with this--men of greater character will conspire to stop you.

  Tempus : [sets the paper down in front of him]  Or not.

  Andrus : [shows Superman grounded]  If you don't allow Superman to do his good work, Utopia will never come about.

  Tempus : I'm creating a new Utopia, Andrus--one that suits my own unique sensibilities.

  Andrus : Great men aren't so easily neutralized, Tempus.

  Tempus : You know, you're right. If history has taught us nothing else, it's taught us this: Never invade Russia, and don't underestimate the power of Superman's disgusting goodness. He'll need a little more convincing if he's to cooperate fully, and I know just where to hit him hardest for maximum effect.

• Andrus : My name is Andrus. I'm from the future, and I need your help. My world is extraordinary, a true Utopia, the world your love made possible. If it weren't for you, there would be no Utopia. Men of peace, such as myself, wouldn't exist as leaders. Now both our worlds are in danger, yours and mine.

  Clark Kent : We'll do whatever we can to help.

  Andrus : Good. Will you come with me to the future, Superman? Help return Tempus to justice. Once Tempus is delivered to justice, your husband will return here, of course.

  Lois Lane : I'll be waiting.

  Clark Kent : [Clark leans in to kiss her cheek]  I love you, Lois.

  Lois Lane : I love you, too.

• [Superman walks Tempus into the time window but then Tempus disappears] 

  Andrus : What? No, that was the replicant!

  Lois Lane : [Lois bursts into the room while secret service agents try to hold her back]  Superman!

  Superman : Lois! Get out! Get out now!

  Tempus : [Comes into the room]  Let her through, she should see this.

  Andrus : No, if he touches the window Superman is doomed!

  [Tempus touches the window and it starts to disappear] 

  Superman : Lois!

  Lois Lane : Clark!

  Superman : [Reaches for her]  Lois!

  Lois Lane : [Reaches for Clark while Tempus holds her back]  Clark!

  Superman : [Their fingertips touch but Lois falls back and the window floats away until it disappears]  Lois! No!

  Tempus : Well. Time to get on with the country's work.

  [laughs and leaves the room] 

  Lois Lane : Where is he? Where is he?

  [Grabs Andrus] 

  Lois Lane : Where is he? Where is he?

  Andrus : Gone.

  Lois Lane : What do you mean gone?

  Andrus : He traveled into time without the window. He's in eternity now.

  Lois Lane : Well you have to help me get him back!

  Andrus : I feel... strange. It's not unpleasant. Everything's changing. I no longer exist...

  [He disappears] 

  Lois Lane : [Looking distraught, calling out to where Clark disappeared]  Clark! Clark?
