Chloe Sullivan:
Clark, no one wants to see you reach your true potential no more than I do. I mean, I've been with you through every bump along this insane ride. But what if every trail has just been a preparation for you to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Clark Kent:
Then why would my father have gone silent in the fortress? Chloe, if this was a trial, my father would never skip on any chance to give me a lecture.

Chloe Sullivan:
Because this *isn't* a trial, Clark. And maybe your father disappeared on you because he knew you needed to make this last mile on your own.

Clark Kent:
Then it's up to me. And I think there's another way to save Zod.

Chloe Sullivan:
Jor-El did not tell you to stay here and be our guardian.

Clark Kent:
Are you saying it's selfish for me to try to save people?

Chloe Sullivan:
You think I *want* you to go? I can't imagine being in this world without you. Look, you've inspired an entire team of heroes who will be here to protect us. And maybe your true purpose is to lead your own people.
