- Krypto... take me home. Home!
- I think I'm doing a good job.
- [Lois: What do you know about these biological parents of yours?] Just that they sent me here to serve humanity and to help the world to be a better place. [Lois: They said that?] They did. They sent a message along with me. That message is why I do what I do. I cherish it more than anything.
- What you're looking at is the most powerful being on planet Earth.
- Hey, buddy! Eyes up here.
- [Lois: He's just a dog.] Yeah, and he's not even a very good one, but he's out there alone and he's probably scared. I love you, Lois. I should've told you that a long time ago.
- [to Luthor] Brain beats brawn. [to Ultraman] Sorry, chum.
- Krypto! Get the toy.
- [Lex: You piece of shit alien!] That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex! I'm as human as anyone! I love! I-I get scared! I wake up every morning and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other and I try to make the best choices I can! I screw up all the time! But that is being human! And that's my greatest strength! And someday I hope, for sake of the world, you understand that it's yours too!
- Darn it, I can be such a jerk sometimes...

- I didn't actually make it through your writing, Clark. Knowledge is worth many sacrifices. That isn't one of them.
- I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman.
- [to Clark] Whoa, you can time your imaginary interviews with yourself? That's a thing you can do?
- You have a dog?
- I party like a rockstar, choir boy.
- [to Jimmy, about Eve, after analyzing her selfies] Your hot ex is a genius!
- You pride won't be making our choices today, Angela, thank you.
- I can't stand the Metahumans, but he's so much worse. Super... "man". He's not a man. He's an it. A thing with a cocky grin and a stupid outfit that's somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation. Nothing's felt right since he showed up.
- [Anchor: What about all the kind acts Superman has performed over the years? Saving countless lives...] No, he's grooming us. Lulling us into complacency so he can dominate without resistance, forging a path for his superpowered descendants to rule the Earth. I will not accept that. Will you? [Anchor: Mr. Luthor...] I'm... I'm scared. I will admit that, I am scared. Because who knows how large his secret harem is already?
- I hoped to get the knowledge to help destroy him. Little did I know, his own parents would be providing it.
- I'm not killing you so the Boravian military conflict can proceed; I created the Boravian military conflict so I'd have an excuse to kill you!
- No, no, they chose him! Let them die! We'll close it from the bunker before it gets to a city I care about.
- [Lois: You put nanobot GPS trackers in your friend's bloodstream?] Oh, I do that to everybody.
- Hot damn. That's a flying dog.
- Them. Superman, a mean dog in a cape, a weird baby, and a squiggle man.
- This is why you don't create a damn pocket universe!
- I don't need your help! I'm goddamn Mister Terrific!
- Make a move, Big Blue.
- [Lois: That haircut should be against your vows.] That what? That what should be what? I'll have you know, 348 chicks say otherwise!
- Sorry, kid; Superman couldn't make it. So you got an upgrade.
Others
[edit]- Opening Crawl: 3 CENTURIES AGO, the first superpowered beings, known as METAHUMANS, appeared on Earth, ushering in a new era of GODS AND MONSTERS.
3 DECADES AGO, an extraterrestrial baby was sent in a spacecraft to Earth, and adopted by Kansas farmers.
3 YEARS AGO, the baby, now grown, announced himself as SUPERMAN, the most powerful metahuman of all.
3 WEEKS AGO, Superman stopped the country of BORAVIA from invading JARHANPUR, sparking controversy around the world.
3 HOURS AGO, a metahuman called the HAMMER OF BORAVIA attacked Superman in the city of METROPOLIS.
3 MINUTES AGO, Superman lost a battle for the first time. - Malik: You've saved us so many times; now it's our turn.
- Peacemaker / Chris Smith: He thinks he's better than everybody else! It's his declarations against killing people unless it's absolutely necessary. Really, dude? Yeah, it kinda sounds like you're trying to make the guys who are a little more edgier than you look like jerks, you know what I mean? A lot of these guys -- these, uh, heroes in the magazines -- they're obsessed with me. 'Cause I'm more jacked than they are.
- Metapmorpho: Man. You are so weird.
- Pa Kent: Parents aren’t for telling their children who they’re supposed to be. We are here to give y’all tools to help you make fools of yourselves all on your own. Your choices, Clark. Your actions. That’s what makes you who you are. Let me tell you something, son, I couldn’t be… more proud of you.
- Maxwell Lord: The one thing that liberals and conservatives can finally agree on is that Lex Luthor sucks.
- Kara Zor-El: [to Superman, regarding Krypto] Thanks for watching him, bitch!
Dialogue
[edit]- Lois: Ready?
- Clark: Let's do it, Cronkite.
- Lois: Superman.
- Clark: Miss Lane.
- Lois: Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what some might--
- Clark: I don't know if it's a lot of fire, but--
- Lois: Its a lot. Today the Secretary of Defense said he was gonna look into your actions in boravia.
- Clark: (exhales)
- Lois: That-- that's funny?
- Clark: It's not "funny" funny, it's just, um... I mean, come on. My actions? I stopped a war.
- Lois: Maybe.
- Clark: Uh, not "maybe." I did.
- Lois: Okay. How?
- Clark: Well, Boravia invaded Jarhanpur, and I showed up and told them that wasn't right.
- Lois: And?
- Clark: And... smashed some tanks and things and a couple of planes and some other stuff. There were no casualties and no significant injuries.
- Lois: Did you interact at all with the President of Boravia, Vasil Ghurkos?
- Clark: A very small amount.
- Lois: What's a very small amount?
- Clark: That was between us.
- Lois: (pauses the recorder.) This is all on the record.
- Clark: Yeah, but that conversation was between the two of us.
- Lois: Yeah, and i would ask that question whether or not I knew the answer to it.
- Clark: Really?
- Lois: Really.
- Clark: (tape recorder beeps) After I stopped the war, I went to see Ghurkos.
- Lois: Where?
- Clark: In the capital of Luchebic, at the Royal Palace.
- Lois: And?
- Clark: And I took a private audience with Ghurkos.
- Lois: How?
- Clark: I flew him out to the desert, and I...
- Lois:And you...
- Clark: And I placed him against a cactus.
- Lois: A cactus? So... torture.
- Clark: No. Not torture. Its spikes were like... not even that big.
- Lois: What did you say?
- Clark: I told him that if he ever messes with Jarhanpur again, he'll have to personally answer to me.
- Lois: What did you mean by that?
- Clark: That if such events occured, we would have a more serious, that's all.
- Lois: More serious than tearing up his back on a cactus?
- Clark: Ghurkos was gonna kill people. You seem to keep forgetting that--
- Lois: So, in effect, you illegally entered a country, inserting yourself in the midddle of an incredibly heated geopolitical situation siding with a nation, Jarhanpur, which historically has not been a friend to the US against a nation that's technically our ally, and then threatened to murder their head of state.
- Clark: [overlapping] No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on a second. Jarhanpur has changed. First of all, whether or not Jarhanpur is an imperfect country does not give another nation the right to invade it.
- Lois: Yes, but the Boravian government maintains they're freeing the Jarhanpurians from a tyrannical regime.
- Clark: Yes, but you know that's very silly.
- Lois: I do?
- Clark: The Boravian goverment, of all people, is saying this? Come on!
- Lois: This is on the record, Superman.
- Clark: Now--No. Now, see... Now you're being dishonest, Lois.
- Lois: How am I being dishonest? What are you--? Stop.
- Clark: [clark looks for stop button] Where's the button? You're being dishonest because you know as well as I do that the Boravian government is not well-intentioned.
- Lois: I think that's almost certainly the case, but do I know that? No I don't. Can we go on now?
- Clark: Yeah, fine. [tries turning the recorder on] I don't-- You do it.
- Lois: You think this is going well?
- Clark: Do I think this is going well? Um... I think I'm doing a good job.
- Lois: Superman, did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?
- Clark: [deep, heavy sigh] No.
- Lois: The Secretary of Defense?
- Clark: No.
- Lois: Or any U.S. official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation--?
- Clark: Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!
- Lois: Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world! More than a war that lasted between twelve and twenty-four hours!
- Clark: [overlapping] I wasn't representing anybody except for me and-- and-- myself and, and, and good! I don't know, doing good!
- Lois: It was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!
- Clark: Is that really how you feel?
- Lois: I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman, but I--I'd question it! Yeah! I would question myself in the same situation and hold off a beat, consider the consequences!
- Clark: PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!
- Jor-El: [in Kryptonian] We love you more than heaven, our son. We love you more than land. Our beloved home is soon to be gone forever.
- Lara-El: But hope vitalizes our hearts, and that hope is you Kal-El. We have searched the universe for a home where you can do the most good, and live out Krypton's truth.
- Jor-El: That place is Earth.
- Superman: I don't get it, what's bad about that?
- Jor-El: The people there are simple and profoundly confused. Weak of mind and spirit and body. Lord over the planet as the Last Son of Krypton.
- Lara-El: Dispatch of anyone unable or unwilling to serve you, Kal-El. Take as many wives as you can so your genes and Krypton's might and legacy will live on in this new frontier.
- Jor-El: Do us proud, our beloved son. Rule without mercy.
- Superman: WHERE'S THE DOG?!
- Lex: I have no clue what you're talking about.
- Superman: ...He's just a dog.
- Lex: I don't know what dog you're talking about. [mumbling into his coffee cup] Ugly dog in a cape?
- Superman: What did you say?
- Lex: Hm? I didn't say anything.
- Lois Lane: My point is, I question everything and everyone. You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like, beautiful.
- Superman: Maybe that's the real punk rock.
- Superman: Luthor. Your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.
- Lex: Don't worrry; tall, dark, and Martian isn't my type.
- Superman: Kryptonian.
- Lex: Meh, same diff.
- Lois: Oh, my God! Why does he always trust everyone?!
- Guy Gardner: He doesn't! Just us, because we are also of the cloth!
- Lois: "Of the cloth"?
- [Guy gestures to his own super-suit.]
- Lois: You have a flying saucer, but you couldn't get a faster garage door?
- Mr. Terrific: I haven't worked on that yet.
- Metamorpho: I can't make a sun.
- Superman: I know!
- Metamorpho: I can only make something kind of like a sun.
- Lois: [about Eve Teschmacher] This girl is obsessed with you?
- Jimmy Olsen: Uh-huh.
- Lois: ...How do you do it, Jimmy?
- Superman: Just give me a minute, I'll get Krypto and we'll go--
- Mr. Terrific: You brought that dog, man?!
- Superman: Yeah, I, uh, I didn't want him killing my parents' cows.
- Superman: You're driven by envy, Luthor -- you couldn't be more obvious!
- Lex Luthor: No shit. I'm not dim. I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. 13L. [Ultraman uses his heat vision on Superman] I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat! But at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him! Because his strength illuminates how weak we all really are! So, my envy is a calling! It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! [Ultraman repeatedly punches Superman in sync with Luthor's commands]
- Raptor Guard: Kill him!
- Superman: Good luck with that.
- Perry White: [regarding Superman and Lois] How long have they been hooking up?
- Jimmy Olson: Three months, I think.
- Robot #4: Maybe one day, you'll give me a name.
- Superman: Four is a name.
- Robot #4: So's "Gary".
- [A woosh and crashing sound is heard]
- Kara Zor-El/Supergirl: Ah, shoot.
- Robot #4: Sir, I think your cousin has returned.
- [Supergirl staggers into the Fortress]
- Superman: Yup.
- Supergirl: [partially inebriated] What...the hell, dude! Why'd you move the door?
- Superman: [points to where the front door is] I didn't move the door.
- Supergirl: And where is my dog?
- [Krypto perks his ears at Kara's voice, and immediately flies to her, knocking her down and immediately playing roughly with her, all while Supergirl laughs]
- Superman: Okay, well, this is why he has behavioral issues.
- Robot #4: No boundaries. [Krypto slams Supergirl repeatedly into the floor, cracking it, and Supergirl still laughs] It's not healthy, is it?
- Superman: Mmmhmm.
- Supergirl: [picks herself up, brushing herself off] Okay, come on. [Walks out with Krypto] Thanks for watching him, bitch!
- Superman: [to Robot #4] ...She likes to go partying on other planets. Planets with red suns.
- Robot #4: [immediately understanding] Oh...
- Superman: Because of our metabolism, we can't get drunk on a planet with a yellow sun.
- Robot #4: If I had any emotional capacity whatsoever, I'd be concerned about her partying.
- Superman: Yeah.
