[Arriving on Earth after overhearing some NASA astronauts]::General Zod: So this is planet Houston.

Lex Luthor: [to Superman] Guy's a clod. Promises were made, gifts exchanged. I gotta hand it to you, you know. You always told the truth, a guy always knew where he stood with you.

General Zod: [to Superman] And now... finally. Take my hand and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.

Lex Luthor: [to Zod and Company, at the half-wrecked White House]... Hi! Lex Luthor. [no reaction from the Super Villains] LEX LUTHOR! Possibly you've heard the name? the Greatest Criminal Mind on Earth!::Ursa: I told you this was a puny planet. [moves menacingly towards Luthor]::Lex Luthor: Whoa whoa whoa wait... why don't you get to know me better? [Ursa continues moving towards Luthor] WAIT! I can give you anything!

Our jailer?::Lex Luthor: [sarcastically] No, Jor-El the BASEBALL PLAYER... [Ursa and Non start moving menacingly towards Luthor] Yes, Jor-El your jailer.::General Zod: The Son of Jor-El!

Where are you...::General Zod: Who is this Superman?::President: You'll find out and when you do-...::General Zod: Come to me, Superman! I defy you! Come and kneel before Zod! Zod!
