John Jones:
How does it feel to be whole again?

[tosses football to Clark and he pops it]

Clark Kent:
I was dying. You saved me. You brought me to some white light.

John Jones:
The healing effect of the sun brought you back from death. I promised Jor-El that I would only be a watchful guardian, but I could not stand by and let you die.

Clark Kent:
You shouldn't have had to.

John Jones:
Jor-El knew he was sending you on an impossible odyssey. To be the given the power of a god... yet exist among humans.

Clark Kent:
Sometimes I feel like I need to be two separate people. Either way, I can't keep expecting you to save me.

John Jones:
Well, that was the last time. The burning sun may strengthen you, but it has the opposite effect on me. It stripped me of my powers. And we both know... that yours is a greater destiny. But with the Fortress destroyed, you'll have to do it without Jor-El's guidance.

Clark Kent:
Or anyone else's.
