Tom Welling: Clark Kent

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : I let myself in.

  Oliver Queen : Terrific. You, uh, hop up to the helipad or just superspeed past security, Clark?

  Clark Kent : I used the elevator.

  Oliver Queen : How human of you.

• Clark Kent : Vala, if there's anyone who really knows what you sister wanted, it's you. It was peace, Vala. She wanted peace.

  Vala : No. Zod's right. The humans will never allow Kandor peace.

  Basqat : They will hunt us to the last man. But they will fail, for we shall *never* be defeated. We will follow General Zod to the ends of this Earth.

  Zod : Krypton *will* rise again. And all humankind will kneel before Zod.

  Clark Kent : I'll never let that happen!

  Zod : You won't be able to stop us.

• Zod : What was to be the first son of Kandor is no more. Now we, the last sons and daughters of Krypton, have no choice but to preserve our birthright. The humans killed the mother of my unborn child. The mother of your future.

  Clark Kent : [entering]  That's a lie. The last time that I saw Faora, she was alive. And she was alone... with Zod.

  Zod : Why should they believe you? This traitor saved the life of the woman who held you hostage. The woman who wanted to dissect you. Who wanted to torture you. Murder you.

• Chloe Sullivan : Please tell me you found that Z-branding bastard so we can slap him back across the universe.

  Clark Kent : Zod's on the move, and there's no sign of Faora or the Kandorians. Maybe if I can reach the others, I can talk some sense into them.

  Chloe Sullivan : [glancing at a news report of a burning building]  We may be too late for that. That's the Castle. God. Zod's attacked Checkmate.

  Clark Kent : Oliver was personal. With this, Zod just declared war.

  Chloe Sullivan : [her phone beeps]  You're not gonna like where he's gathering his troops. My eye in the sky above the Fortress is picking up movement.

• Zod : Checkmate's actions demand justice.

  Clark Kent : Murder isn't justice.

• Vala : Please. Our people have done nothing. Where are you taking us?

  [a hood is put over her head; sounds of commotion follow, and the hood is removed, revealing Clark] 

  Clark Kent : [helping her to her feet]  Vala, where's your sister?

  Vala : They took her.

• Faora : Zod's been looking for something ever since we arrived. The Book of Rao.

  Clark Kent : Zod said the Book of Rao was some sort of Kryptonian bible.

  Faora : It's so much more than that. It wields great power. And if Zod were to get his hands on it... then who knows what he would do?

• Faora : [Clark shows her Jor-El's journal]  Zod. He destroyed Krypton.

  Clark Kent : My father sent those messages here to Earth to help me stop history from repeating itself. I trusted Zod, too. That's why I didn't tell you any of this sooner. Look, the circumstances may be different, but Zod cannot be trusted. On Krypton, he destroyed that planet to prove a point. We can't let him do the same thing here.

  Faora : I'd hoped what Zod had given me would reunite our people.

  Clark Kent : What he gave you? At the ceremony, your sister was protecting you.

  [he notices her subtly touch her stomach; with his super-hearing, he hearts a heartbeat] 

  Clark Kent : You're pregnant. And Zod's the father?

  [she nods, crying] 

  Clark Kent : This baby is proof that you can still have a life here, apart from Zod without powers. Faora... Krypton lives on through you.

• Clark Kent : I'm glad you've found a way to preserve our culture here on Earth.

  Faora : I wish everyone saw it that way. Zod disappeared and took the rest of our people with him.

  Clark Kent : I don't understand. I thought all of you'd found a new life here on Earth.

  Faora : We were wrong to follow you, Kal-El. When we did what you asked, and tried to assimilate with the humans, we were left behind. We're gathered here, waiting for Zod's return to ask his forgiveness.

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry, Faora. I never meant to divide our people. But you cannot realign with Zod.

  Faora : You've never trusted him, Kal-El. All Zod wanted was to give us powers so we could protect ourselves.

  Clark Kent : Zod already has powers. He's had them for weeks. Faora, there's something you need to see.

• Oliver Queen : You're obviously not on patrol tonight. What's going on?

  Clark Kent : I need to find Zod.

  Oliver Queen : You know Chloe? She's got this really big building filled with a lot of expensive stuff I paid a lot of money for. She could probably help you out with that.

• Clark Kent : The last thing we need is to have a weapon like Watchtower fall into the wrong hands. I wanna keep Chloe out of the line of fire. I figured you'd agree with that.

  Oliver Queen : Keep Chloe out of the line of fire? What the hell's going on?

  Clark Kent : Zod. He went after Lois. He pretended to be the Blur and he put her in danger.

  Oliver Queen : I think it's time to take off the gloves.

  Clark Kent : Look, I need you on this. But I can't have you starting a fight with Zod if I'm trying to keep the peace.

• Oliver Queen : Clark, I know you like to see the goodness in everyone, but you know what this guy's capable of, right?

  Clark Kent : And I know what you're capable of. I understand how you feel. Don't think I'm not angry, too. But I can't have you firing off the first shot and threatening everything I've worked for. These are my people that we're talking about. My first real chance to have a Kryptonian family here on Earth. And we need to find Zod and confront him my way.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, all right, man. I got your back.

  Clark Kent : Then suit up. Check the mansion. Before Tess went off the grid, she got close to Zod. She may have left behind some intel. I have another lead I wanna run down on my own.

  Oliver Queen : [he moves to leave]  Hey, Clark. You know, those Kandorians... they're not the only family you have here.
