Jor-El, Clark Kent and others in “Unfinished Business”

Jor-El

Your journey has come to an end, Kal-El.

Clark Kent

I shouldn't have tried to push away my Kryptonian side. My strength is accepting it -- accepting you.

Jor-El

You honor me. A father's pride cannot be measured in words, but know that I'm proud of you, son.

Clark Kent

You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say that.

Jor-El

We have been down our long road, Kal-El -- one paved with difficult trials. Those trials are behind you now. Any father can only hope that he is one day humbled by the feats of his son. But it is your soul, Kal-El, of which I am most proud. You -- and you alone -- possess the courage, the determination, and the compassion that will be required of you to lift the darkness from the Earth. (returns the suit to Clark) I ask you to remember one thing. Your abilities may be of my blood, but it is your time in Smallville, with Jonathan and Martha Kent and all the people there, that made you a hero, Kal-El.

Jonathan Kent

Always hold on to Smallville. (hands the suit over to Clark)
