[narrating] Luck. That's what it all boils down to, doesn't it? The smallest break one way or the other. It can save a life or destroy one. And you can't fight it, no matter how strong you are.

[Narrating] I suppose I could've flown to the governor as Superman and given him the disk, but that could've raised some awkward questions. Maybe there was some ego to it, too. I wanted this to be Clark's victory. Not Superman's.

It's not like he's really dead, Martha. He just can't be Clark anymore.

But I am Clark. I need to be Clark. I'd go crazy if I had to be Superman all the time!

Who else but the real killer would have done this? He was probably afraid Kent was getting too close!

Kent was a reporter. Who knows how many enemies he had! This might come as a kick in the pants, Lane, but nobody likes you guys!

I always teased him. But I had so much respect. [Shedding tears] And I liked him too, I really did. I wish I'd told him.

I don't believe it! You've been sitting here in the lap of luxury while I'm out risking my neck!

He was recuperating. Poor thing, when I picked him up he could barely remember his own name.

But he sure remembered yours, and your telephone number.

Clark and I go back a long way. Are you... jealous?

Yeah, jealous of his endless luck.

[Bowman has been convicted of the murder and sentenced to die in a gas chamber. His last moments are reflecting on his failure to kill Clark]

[talking to himself] How did he survive that car bomb? How?! [Bowman's eyes suddenly open wide] He's Superman!

[Executioner pulls switch and gas floods into chamber, taking Bowman's revelation with it]
