Zod quotes from Smallville

You have your father's eyes... hello, Kal-El.

Clark

Where's Lex?

Lex is dead.

Clark

Why are you here?

For the same reason as anyone who'd been imprisoned like a beast. Revenge. Your father banished me to an eternal hell, trying to save a doomed race. But, in the end, the only survivor of his pathetic crusade was his son.

Clark

Then this is between us. These people have done nothing to harm you.

No. But you feel no pain greater than to see others in agony.

Clark

I won't let you destroy this planet like you did Krypton.

You don't have a choice. Unless you join me.

Clark

I'll never join you.

I hope that's a decision you'll be able to live with... forever.

So easily beaten. Disappointing.

Clark

I won't let you destroy Earth, like you did Krypton.

Jor-El couldn't stop me, and neither will his son.

Clark

Then I'll die trying.

But you won't be the only one. These humans you care so much about... swear your allegiance to me, and I'll allow the ones you love the most to live...Kneel before Zod.

Zod

I'm General Zod. And all of this is mine to give if you give me the names of whoever snuck you into the restricted zone.

Lois

My Dad's a general, too. And he still couldn't get me to spill how I got an M1 Abrams tank to take me to the prom. So I'm definitely not telling you anything.

General Zod

I know, it's a terrible feeling. So powerless when you know you've got such strength inside of you, with no way of unleashing it.

Clark Kent

Even without the yellow sun, I will find a way to defeat you.

General Zod

You'll have to work twice as hard. Because when I arrived here, I met a very special acquaintance, someone you know, and someone that I'm very, very...fond of.

Clark Kent

Who?

General Zod

Me.

Clark Kent

The original Zod's phantom.

General Zod

Finally back in the body that you stripped me of. Now I have the full knowledge of two lives, and you...you are my enemy in both.

Clark Kent

I defeated you in both.

General Zod

Which is why it will give double the satisfaction to see you kneel...and serve...until you die.

Clark Kent

You have the console crystal. How?

General Zod

We're blood brothers, Kal-El. Have you forgotten how you healed me with your blood on Earth?

Clark Kent

We're not brothers. I saved you because it was the right thing to do. We have nothing in common.

General Zod

We're from the same world. Do you really think that having powers is the only thing that makes you Kryptonian? It's not. We share the same instincts. We're decisive...single-minded, headstrong. We were meant to be leaders.

Clark Kent

Leaders? You're a tyrant who believes only in himself.

General Zod

Who else should I put my faith in? We both know that trusting others is a calculated risk, one a Kryptonian is not willing to take. Oh, we can easily fool those closest to us, can't we? But we can lean on no one. Do you remember that most famous story about two brothers from your adopted planet? You've got Cain and Abel. Which brother are you, Kal-El?

Clark Kent

Well, I'd never murder you. I saved you.

General Zod

You exiled me. I'm in charge here. And you're about to find out what that means, brother.

General Zod

I've seen what Darkseid is capable of.

Oliver Queen

What do you know?

General Zod

After the Kandorians sent me here, a very powerful entity came looking for me. Darkseid promised me lordship of this dominion if I solved one problem for him.

Oliver Queen

Clark.

General Zod

Darkseid has certain ambitions for your planet.

Oliver Queen

The thing is, we took care of that. We blocked him. Took out three of his three little minions, too.

General Zod

Kal-El might delude himself as usual, that's how he's won, but there are millions -- millions on Earth just waiting to surrender to the will of Darkseid, and you friend, are one of them.
