Brainiac 5:
Not every man is destined to find a woman like Lois.

Clark Kent:
She's definitely one of a kind. I know why you sent me here now.

Brainiac 5:
I had intended to be here *with* you, but you interfered with the ring.

Clark Kent:
You wanted me to see how things would be with Lois and the... flying.

Brainiac 5:
I wanted you to see that your darkness lies not only dwelling in your past, but in fearing the future.

Clark Kent:
I've always hoped my life would be like this. With Lois and with all of it. I guess lately I've stopped believing that it could actually happen.

Brainiac 5:
Well, that's up to you, isn't it? You don't need to worry about the future, Kal-El. You can see that it's just fine as long as you shed the weight of the past. Just next time you decide to defy me, don't strand me back in the dark ages.
