So, what are you in the mood for?
Oh, I'm in the mood. Just not for breakfast.
Lois, the bedroom's upstairs.
Mm-hmm. But the porch swing -- it's out there.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
(to Oliver, as they are talking in the loft) You got to go.
What, the window? What are we, 16?
Now.
We look after each other.
SLSam Lane
Good. Because if Lois is going to spend any time around here, I've had a look around, and there's a few things that are gonna have to be brought up to code.
Like scrubbing the bathroom tile with a toothbrush?
SLSam Lane
That's number 17 on the list.
(looks at list) I guess you're not kidding.
SLSam Lane
No, I never do.
It's over, Flag. We know you blew up that building.
Fancy move attacking your own country.
I did it for my country. If you kill Lane, you kill a movement. That registration act is nothing but a weapon to profile, hunt, and destroy us.
We don't need a history lesson.
Well, apparently you do, Shamrock. You've become the politicians' poster boy for full disclosure. They're gonna be on your doorstep soon, holding you up as a volunteer. Get up all the other heroes to stand up and be counted and be killed.
We're not gonna let that happen.
If the bill passes, it already has! Don't you see? America's turning against us. We have got to fight back, show strength, make them choose us as their leaders.
You'll be stirring up anti-hero hysteria. Violence isn't the answer.
Violence is the only answer. And more and more superheroes are coming to my side.
No need to worry, my friend.
I think it's a little early for "friend". "Friendly" -- I can do that. I can be friendly.
I'll take it. I was beginning to think the best I could do was "frenemy".
I don't even know what that means. We've, uh... We've survived tax audits and typhoons together, Tess. I think we're practically like family at this point.
We've come a long way. From the middle of the ocean to the top of the city.
I can work with that.
Do you know, I've been always been able to tell an abandoned soul when I see one. It's a gift.
Do the girls come here as -- as babies?
Unfortunately, tragedy strikes as it pleases. They come at any age.
It must be difficult to find the older ones permanent homes.
Well, the truth is, by the time I get my hands on the lost souls, they no longer have that cute baby scent childless couples yearn for.
The children don't spend their entire childhood here, do they?
Oh, mercy me. You make it sound like punishment.
I've been training my girls for decades not to blend into society -- but to conquer it. Here...and around the world. My girls know I'll always be here for them. And I know they'll never desert me.
Hello. Mister...El? I'm here to talk about your son, Clark. Kal-El. Look, I know as a parent, you had to make the hardest decision ever to save your son and send him here alone. When my Mom was dying, she tried to protect me, too. And I love her, but she was wrong. I will never get to hold her again. But you -- you can still be there for Clark -- I mean, Kal-El. Your son needs a father who believes in him. I-I wish I knowing that I loved him was enough. But Clark Kent can't fully hear it with the ghost of your disappointment haunting him. You're stopping him from fulfilling his potential. He's an amazing man. He's a hero. (waits for a response from Jor-El, nothing) Really? Nothing? You know, you may not care about anybody else but yourself, but Clark does. And you're not 1/10 the Kryptonian he is. He's lucky to be rid of you!
LLara
My son, I only had the joy for knowing you a few weeks. I wish I could be with you always to guide you and protect you.
We don't have much time.
LLara
My dearest Kal-El, our love will always be with you. I can already see you carry within your father's independent spirit.
But, more importantly, your mother's never ending bravery and her compassionate heart.
LLara
Your father tells me that the new world you are journeying to, Earth, is full of complicated beings capable of great emotion. My wish is for you to live a full and wonderful life, but I need you to know that you were born of a great love. And, your brilliant father has devised a way for you to carry on that love without us.
The ship that I designed to carry you to your destiny can only hold one Kryptonian, one who has so much potential, so unlike your father.
LLara
No.
Your mother and I cannot come with you, to do so would burden your innocent soul with our frailties and our failures. But you have within you, the best of both of us, and I am sending you with all of my knowledge and none of my ego or regrets. They will die with me here on Krypton. Whatever trials I put you through, I will never lose faith in you.
LLara
(Whispers to Jor-El) Quickly, before it's too late. We may not have been able to save our planet...
But we are confident you will become Earth's greatest savior. And never doubt that, just as you're a part of us, we will always be a part of you. Farewell, my son.

Godfrey has been chosen. Our Dark Lord has anointed him... made him like us -- a prophet. He is Darkseid's third minion.
GGGordon Godfrey
So I do have a higher purpose.
DDesaad
Yes, Godfrey. Your golden voice is broadcast around the world.
Not impressed. And you -- I see you're enjoying your clubs. They seem more popular than ever.
DDesaad
Our unholy trinity is complete. I bind their bodies, Godfrey breaks their spirit, and you, my beloved friend, you clear their minds, preparing the way for Lord Darkseid.
Seismic activity.
ACArthur Curry
That's how Mera found the place. She's pretty amazing -- smart, passionate, fiery. Even helped me understand my true origins.
You really went off the high dive for her
ACArthur Curry
I'm so much more with her than I'm solo.
You don't feel guilty, putting her in danger?
ACArthur Curry
Mera can hold her own. If you're worried about someone a little less superpowered, Mera helped me realize that standing on the sidelines isn't the same as being in the game.
LTLieutenant Trotter
Almost done, Mr. Queen.
What's with the secret workout room here, huh? Is this a, uh, a secret tryout for the NFL?
You're strong and extremely agile with coordination that's off the charts.
I'm human.
Well, I commend your performance. We'd love to have someone with your gifts serve our country. Help us bring in your less cooperative cohorts.
Look, I'll be your poster boy. I'll say your words, I'll be your face, but it ends with me, you understand? Now, there are people out there who want to believe in you. They want to believe in this country. Give them a chance to prove that, to be the heroes that we all need.
You got nerve, I like that. But your draft card wasn't a two-for-one special. Please, allow me to make a more convincing argument.
MMera
I am Mera, wife of Orin, future king of the Seven Seas. The one you call Arthur Curry.
A.C. got married. Aren't you just full of reveals?
MMera
Orin is finally embracing his destiny and leading his people.
Hang on. "His people". Like, down under and not Australia? Anyway, I need to find Clark.
MMera
Certainly you're not a partner in his endeavors?
Wow, some people get a ring on their finger, and everyone else's relationship just doesn't cut it.
MMera
Spoken like one who can't be satisfied by a man of her own kind. You desire those who are extraordinary - first Orin, then Oliver, now Clark.
You've gotta be kidding me? Little Mermaid? Your prince and I dated for a day.
MMera
It's understandable that you would seek a superior being companion. I'm just surprised that powerful men would choose someone of lesser ability.
Listen, squid lips, you don't know anything about me or Clark.
MMera
I know you came here looking for Clark. You're in the dark...protected but not included. Do you really want the harsh light of truth?
Slade! I'm not gonna let you continue destroying people's faith in justice.
Made of steel, or just a man? You can't be both. (shoots at Clark, bullets ricochet off him) So it is you. (Slade presses a button on the wall, kryptonite-lined wall surrounds Clark)
What are you doing? I need to get you out of here!
This whole place was built for the express purpose of containing your kind. And your weakness was the hardest to learn. You see? You're not above the law. You're not even above me.
How can you be so determined in seeing us as the enemy, instead of working with us. Look... let me save you. You'll never get out!
I know, but it's worth it. To destroy the single greatest threat to democracy, no civilian in this country should be more powerful than the law. That's what keeps the order. That's what keeps us strong.
Shut it down. Let me help you.
I'd rather die for my country than be saved by an abomination like you.
You asked me a question. I guess you'll get your answer. I am man and steel.
ACArthur Curry
Glad you didn't find your Davy Jones down there after that explosion.
I know how much you love the water, but I couldn't be happier to have my two feet on solid ground.
ACArthur Curry
Oh, just as well. 'Cause let's be honest, underwater, you look like a clown fish.
