- Clark Kent: What was he like? My father.
- Raya: Brave... strong... with the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known.
- Clark Kent: To be honest, that's not the Jor-El I've imagined.
- Raya: He was determined to save us. I remember helping him build your ship. He was so careful, planning every detail, down to your baby blanket. I wish that he could see you now.
- Clark Kent: I haven't been the best son.
- Raya: Your father was hard on himself, too. He felt guilty that he couldn't save Krypton. His only redemption was sending you to save Earth.
- Clark Kent: Save it from what?
- Raya: Extinction. Your civilization is going to destroy itself, just like Krypton. You should know this, it was part of your training.
- Clark Kent: I haven't started my training. The Fortress is damaged. Jor-El tried to warn me, but I didn't listen. I mean, how could I trust someone who brought so much pain in my life?
- Raya: Pain is part of anyone's journey, Kal-El. You can't escape it. You must accept your destiny.
- Baern: So this is Jor-El's famed Fortress of Knowledge. I thought it'd be bigger.
- Clark Kent: It doesn't matter. You won't be staying long.
- Baern: Big talk, big man. I'm surprised you're still standing. I guess Jor-El was right about how the yellow sun affects you Kryptonian cockroaches. But I'm back. And now... I'm super-sized. This is the perfect place for the fall of the House of El.

- Yance: No way, man. Don't go back there. Don't you ever watch movies?
