Callum Blue: Zod

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Lois Lane is off limits.

  Zod : A Rao charm for good luck is hardly cause for alarm.

  Clark Kent : Why would her give some Kryptonian symbol?

  Zod : Rao symbolizes all that is good. Once again, you assume the worst of me.

  Clark Kent : No, we both know the only reason you visited Lois was to send me a message. You can't hurt me, but you will hurt those I care about.

  Zod : Living on Earth has made you mistrustful.

  Clark Kent : I trust those who trust me.

  Zod : You trust no one, Kal-El, not even the woman that you're supposed to care for. She has no idea who you are, does she?

  Clark Kent : Crossing that line is why I won't help you get your powers.

  Zod : I'm just trying to save our race!

  Clark Kent : You're just doing this to save your army. Without them, you're just an officer with no one to command.

  Zod : Mnh-mnh. I do not do this out of ego. I do this out of desperation.

  Clark Kent : Don't act like there isn't some agenda you're not telling me about. You go near Lois again, I will destroy you all.

  Zod : You won't have to.

• Zod : When we bowed down before you, Kal-El, we embraced you with open hearts. Well some of us feel as is if our favor has not been returned.

  Clark Kent : Your people...

  Zod : *Our* people.

  Clark Kent : *Our* people have assimilated well. They don't need my help as much as the humans.

  Zod : No, we need it *more*. We have no powers here, Kal-El. And they expect you to help us get them. We need leadership, a mentor.

  Clark Kent : I can't help you. I don't know how to give our people my powers.

  Zod : Surely it's a mystery we can solve together.

  Clark Kent : Earth is not another Krypton. And trying to make it one is a dangerous plan.

• Faora : I guess the Book of Rao isn't on Earth after all.

  Zod : No. Jor-El left it here. And when we find it, we will have the means to complete the tower. And we will turn the yellow sun red and then Kal-El will not the be only one with powers on this Earth. He will be just one of many of my soldiers in my army or a prisoner in my stockade.

• Lois Lane : Clark, thank goodness. A girl could not live by online blackjack alone.

  Zod : I am so sorry to disappoint, but I was hoping to make it up with flowers.

  Lois Lane : Not that I'm against taking flowers from men I've never met, 'cause lord knows I have, I think you have the wrong room.

  Zod : Forgive my lack of manners. America must be wearing off on me.

• Zod : I'm an old friend of Clark's. I was donating blood and I thought I'd stop by and see how you were recovering.

  Lois Lane : Oh.

  Zod : Look, Clark must have mentioned me. I'm Zod.

  Lois Lane : Can't say that he has. And being a championship-wrestling fan, I'd definitely remember a name like that.

• Zod : The apple is such a plain, yet fascinating, fruit.

  Clark Kent : What are you doing here?

  Zod : You know, it was the apple that launched the Trojan War. One of the great epic battles of all time. And also, in many religions here, it's the apple's fall from the tree of knowledge that represents the fall of man. Now, I found that story quite interesting, because it so aptly illustrates how humans hoard knowledge, whereas our own Kryptonian religion... now, that teaches knowledge should be shared by all.

  Clark Kent : I'm sure you didn't come here for a Sunday school lesson. What do you want?

• Zod : Our people, they don't wanna conquer. But... if we don't deliver their power soon, then sooner or later they will do whatever it takes to get what they want themselves. We, um... we have to be able to-to defend ourselves, Kal-El. These humans' brutality is, uh... is extraordinary. And if they discover us... they will hunt us down like animals.

  Clark Kent : I won't let that happen.

  Zod : You are reluctant to take action because you don't trust me. You think I killed Jor-El. I lost a son, and I would never deprive anyone of his father in this life. You... you must believe me.
