"[voiceover] Can you read my mind? Do you know what it is that you do to me? I dont know who you are. Just a friend from another star. Here I am, like a kid out of school. Holding hands with a god. Im a fool. Will you look at me? Quivering. Like a little girl, shivering. You can see right through me. Can you read my mind? Can you picture the things Im thinking of? Wondering why you are...all the wonderful things you are. You can fly. You belong in the sky. You and I...could belong to each other. If you need a friend...Im the one to fly to. If you need to be loved...here I am. Read my mind."
"A chance for life, nonetheless...as opposed to us, you cannot ignore these facts! Its SUICIDE! No, its worse. Its GENOCIDE...!"
"[As he bids his infant son farewell before sending him to Earth] You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you...even in the face of our deaths...the richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that Ive learned, everything I feel...all this, and more I...I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you...all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your own eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father, the son. This is all I...all I can send you, Kal-El."
"Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and your power are needed. Always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El; they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you...my only son."
