FSFranklin Stern

Let me guess. You two have a lovers' spat?

Clark and I don't spat. There was no spatting.

I let myself in.

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

I used the elevator.

How human of you.

I wish you could come back and visit more often.

I had to let go of this place for a while, Clark, but I never let go of you. I'll be back soon.

Maybe next time you can ease up on the kryptonite.

(to Lois) Look, my whole life has been full of relationships that have ended too soon. And then when I went away last fall, I... Lois, I felt so lost. When I came back to the bullpen... you were there waiting for me. You jumped out of your seat, you threw your arms around me, and the way that your eyes sparkled when you smiled, I just... I knew. I just knew that you were the one that I've always needed. And I needed you to know that.

I died to save the world.

Evil never ends. By sacrificing yourself, you have left the humans vulnerable to future threats.

I left a team of heroes behind to protect them.

You were meant to be Earth's greatest protector. Now, they are about to face the greatest evil without you.

Then send me back! I know my fate! To step into the light! To be a symbol of hope for them.

I told you to rule with strength, but you chose the martyr's path. What makes you think you deserve a second chance?

I can do it. I can be their hero!

Sometimes I think it would be easier if you were here.

Not a day goes by, Clark, when I don't regret not being able to be right here for you. I would do anything, I would give anything to able to get a second chance to get it right. You got that second chance, son. You could be the greatest hero the world has ever known.

Not according to Jor-El.

Well, then, do what you do best. Prove him wrong. Jor-El was right about one thing. Something dark is coming. You're gonna be tested. It's not gonna be easy, son. But I have faith in you.

I defeated Lex. I refused to let him win. And I pushed myself harder than I ever have before. For a second, I thought I was flying. But I saved everyone, I don't know how but I saved them all. I've finally become the hero you sent me here to be.

Pride... vanity... you almost took a man's life and you dare tell me you are following the path that I set out for you?

You told me that I have unfinished business. An evil here that I had to face! And Lex...!

The evil is you, Kal-El. The greatest threat Earth will face is coming. It preys on wavering souls like yours. Once this darkness consumes you, you will be Earth's greatest enemy.

That's not my fate.

You cannot be a beacon of hope when you have darkness in your heart.

Then why did you send me back? Why did you give me a second chance?!

I didn't. It was not my decision to give you back your life.

You may not see me as a hero. But the rest of the world does! And I decide my fate!

I regret as a father, my faith in you blinded me to the truth. You will never be Earth's savior.

Your satellite was tracking them -- symbols that looked just like The Blur's, which makes him the person of interest. But what's your connection to all this?

Man, I told you. You got this whole thing wrong, okay? I'm what you call a good guy here! I'm not guilty of anything here except trying to save the world! All right? And I would tell you who from but I don't think you'd believe me.

Try me.

These little green guys from outer space. (laughs)

[Reading Chloe's letter to Oliver] "Oliver, I never thought I'd have to tell you how I feel about us because the smile on my lips when I looked at you pretty much said it all. But now that you won't be seeing it anymore I'll have to use words to tell you. I've never loved anyone the way I've loved you and I never will again. You are my brightest star, my knight in shining leather, my hero." ...Oliver, this may be difficult for you to face, but I didn't write this. We both know Chloe did.

You know, the philosopher Nietzsche believed we shouldn't live for the future, but for the present. He thought that people who chased after some far-off future dream were really running away from their true destiny.

Yeah, well, Nietzsche can call me a chicken if he wants, but he has never dated someone like Clark Kent.

It wouldn't have mattered. To him, the true hero was the person who embraced the life that he or she was given and made it better. He called that person "Übermensch".

A Superman.

Nietzsche believed we could all be one. In our own way.
