Terence Stamp: Jor-El

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : I know that we defeated Brainiac, but we may have another problem. When Chloe was losing her memory, she kept seeing the Kryptonian symbol for doom in her mind.

  Jor-El : The symbol for doom represents the ultimate destroyer. A Kryptonian creature bred for a single purpose - to kill. It adapts and evolves to any attack. It is virtually unstoppable. And it appears it's made its way to Earth.

  Clark Kent : So Brainaic was trying to contact this thing using Chloe as a vessel.

  Jor-El : If that is true, then it is likely the creature will find her soon.

  Clark Kent : I don't care how powerful it is. I'll take it on, like I have everything else.

  Jor-El : I am here for you, as well, my son.

  Clark Kent : Thank you... father.

• Jor-El : Welcome home, my son.

  Clark Kent : Home? I wanted to see it that way, Jor-El. I wanted to learn more about my family, about my destiny. And then you tore it all away.

  Jor-El : I programmed the fortress to remove your powers and self-destruct if you became a danger to the planet.

  Clark Kent : When you sent me here, you had no way of knowing how I would use my abilities. You trusted me. When I betrayed that trust, you were willing to sacrifice your only son to save this planet. But now I know what it truly means to protect people, not just my family and friends.

  Jor-El : You've made great progress, my son.

  Clark Kent : One thing needs to change. You call me your son, but you treat me like your enemy. I think it's time you stop punishing me and start trusting me again.

  Jor-El : You've grown up, Kal-El. Your trials have matured you.

  Clark Kent : My trials aren't over, Jor-El. Brainiac was not destroyed. He managed to infect one of my friends, and how he's taken her over. I need your help.

  Jor-El : I can translate the Kryptonian code corrupting your friend's mine back into human memories, however, the being you call "Brainiac" is highly unpredictable. It poses a tremendous threat to all of us. There is no way of knowing what the outcome will be. Are you willing to take that risk?

• Jor-El : Time is of the essence, Kal-El.

  Clark Kent : Chloe never would have gotten hurt if she wasn't trying to protect me.

  Jor-El : I tried to warn you of the danger in sharing your true identity.

  Clark Kent : But now that I'm taking more risks, it's even more dangerous for her. Chloe deserves a life free from the burden of my secret. When you restore her memory, I don't want her to remember anything about Krypton, or my abilities.

  Jor-El : I know this choice is not easy for you, my son. But it will be done.
