Lois Lane:
[to Tess] You redheaded rat!

Zod:
Do you know her?

Tess Mercer:
She used to work for me. But then she disappeared.

Lois Lane:
[punches Tess in her face] Traitor!

Tess Mercer:
I am this planet's savior! I helped General Zod take power to ensure this Earth's survival.

Lois Lane:
Tess Mercer, the ultimate ecoterrorist.

Zod:
And what are *you*? I understand you were seen talking to Clark Kent. It was only a matter of time before the resistance got to him.

Lois Lane:
The only thing I'm resisting is the urge to kick both your asses. And if Clark were here right now, he would back me up.

Zod:
The only reason Clark is still alive is because I hoped he'd join us to bridge the gap between our people.

Tess Mercer:
Trust me, Zod. No one has worked as hard as I have to get Clark to see the good that we're doing. But I think we fooled ourselves long enough. He won't come around.

Zod:
Which is why neither of you is any good to me alive.

Lois Lane:
Excuse me?

Zod:
A double execution will send out a strong message to anyone who would dare defy me. Hmm. Take heart, Lois. At least you can enjoy a glorious last meal.
