Clark Kent:
Dad? You okay? Mom and I have been worried sick about you. You can't just take off like that.

Jonathan Kent:
How'd you know to find me out here?

Clark Kent:
When I'm searching for answers, I turn to my dad. I guess it runs in the family.

Jonathan Kent:
Your grandfather was the stubbornest man I ever knew. And believe me, Clark, I wasn't nearly the son you are. My mother used to say that he and I were like watching two sides of the same coin, duking it out. And I see the way you and Jor-El fight, and I wonder if maybe fathers and sons were the same on Krypton.

Clark Kent:
Except he's not my father. You are.

Jonathan Kent:
Yeah. I am your father who turns his back on you when you need him the most. I am your father who forces you to run away. My father never would have done that. I wish I had his strength and his wisdom.

Clark Kent:
Dad, you do.

Jonathan Kent:
Clark, I don't know how to protect you anymore.

Clark Kent:
It's not your job. Your job is to teach me how to protect myself. But that doesn't mean I don't need you. Mom needs you, too. Let's go home.
