Quotes1

  • Lara: My son, I only had the joy for knowing you a few weeks. I wish I could be with you always to guide you and protect you.
  • Jor-El: We don't have much time.
  • Lara: My dearest Kal-El, our love will always be with you. I can already see you carry within your father's independent spirit.
  • Jor-El: But more importantly, your mother's never-ending bravery and her compassionate heart.
  • Lara: Your father tells me the new world you're journeying to, Earth, is full of complicated beings capable of great emotion. My wish is for you to live a full and wonderful life, but I need you to know, you were born of a great love. And your brilliant father was devised a way for you to carry on that love without us.
  • Jor-El: The ship I designed to carry you to your destiny can only hold one Kryptonian - one who has so much potential - so unlike your father.
  • Lara: No.
  • Jor-El: Your mother and I cannot come with you. To do so would burden your innocent soul with our frailties and failures. But you have within you the best of both of us. And I am sending you all of my knowledge and none of my ego or regrets. They will die with me here on Krypton. Whatever trials I put you through, I will never lose faith in you.
  • Lara: [whispers to Jor-El] Quickly, before it's too late. We may not have been able to save our planet...
  • Jor-El: But we are confident you will become Earth's greatest savior. And never doubt that, just as you're a part of us, we will always be a part of you. Farewell, my son.
