Clark Kent and General Zod in “Unfinished Business”

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.
