Jor-El:
[voice] Kal-El, I trust you found my gift to the both of you illuminating.

Clark Kent:
It wasn't a gift. It was a trial. And it wasn't about Lois appreciating what it was like to have my abilities or me realizing what it was like to be human. It was about control.

Jor-El:
[voice] Your trials are not a riddle, Kal-El. They are a stepping stone on a long path.

Clark Kent:
A path that I have blindly walked forever, but I understand now. This whole time, it's been up to me to decide when to take control of my own destiny. The trials end when I'm ready for them to end.

Jor-El:
[voice] Your journey is far from over.

Clark Kent:
But I can only be only what the world needs when I can finally admit that I am no longer just the son of Jor-El or Jonathan Kent. And you knew the time would come when neither of you can guide me anymore, and that time... is now. Goodbye, Jor-El.
