Zod [in Lex] and Clark in “Unfinished Business”

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.
