Quotes 

• Zod : I'm General Zod. And all of this is mine to give if you give me the names of whoever snuck you into the restricted zone.

  Lois Lane : My Dad's a general, too. And *he* couldn't get me to spill how I got an M1 Abrams tank to take me to the prom. So I'm definitely not telling *you* anything.

• Lois Lane : [to Tess]  You redheaded rat!

  Zod : Do you know her?

  Tess Mercer : She used to work for me. But then she disappeared.

  Lois Lane : [punches Tess in her face]  Traitor!

  Tess Mercer : I am this planet's savior! I helped General Zod take power to ensure this Earth's survival.

  Lois Lane : Tess Mercer, the ultimate ecoterrorist.

  Zod : And what are *you*? I understand you were seen talking to Clark Kent. It was only a matter of time before the resistance got to him.

  Lois Lane : The only thing I'm resisting is the urge to kick both your asses. And if Clark were here right now, he would back me up.

  Zod : The only reason Clark is still alive is because I hoped he'd join us to bridge the gap between our people.

  Tess Mercer : Trust me, Zod. No one has worked as hard as I have to get Clark to see the good that we're doing. But I think we fooled ourselves long enough. He won't come around.

  Zod : Which is why neither of you is any good to me alive.

  Lois Lane : Excuse me?

  Zod : A double execution will send out a strong message to anyone who would dare defy me. Hmm. Take heart, Lois. At least you can enjoy a glorious last meal.

• Zod : [to Clark]  I wanted you to join me on this New Earth. But now I must bury you beneath it.

• Zod : I should have known you'd come after me. All to save a doomed race. When faced with a crumbling world, these humans, they rather die than unite under a single leader and do what's required to build a glorious new world. It's tragic. You thought you could take on me like this. Metropolis would not be destroyed if you had all just stopped fighting and join me.

  Clark Kent : We'll never stop fighting, Zod. Humanity will never lose its spirit.

• Clark Kent : You're reign of terror is over, Zod. I'm sending Lois home to the past. She can warn us about your tower before it's ever built.

  Zod : You chose to defy me. You forced me to unleash my power! We could have made this planet a paradise!

  Clark Kent : It always was. And you never gave humanity a chance.

  Zod : They've made you weak.

  [stabs Clark with kryptonite knife] 

  Zod : If she travels back in time, then the lives we know will cease to exist. You have destroyed our world.

• Clark Kent : I understand you've been looking for me.

  Zod : My brother and sister Kandorians, he has come. Kneel before Kal-El.

• Lois Lane : [seeing a tray of food]  I guess membership has its privileges.

  Zod : Try the truffle. It's my favorite.

  [she takes one, but he appears beside her before she can eat it] 

  Lois Lane : [taking it back]  To think... a few of these could mean the difference between life and death for your kind.

• Clark Kent : Let her go. Take my life. Let her live!

  Lois Lane : Clark.

  Zod : Your bravery is commendable. But by defying me, you have forced my hand.
