General Zod:
Did you think we would give up our advantage? No! The son of Jor-El will be my slave, forever. If not, the millions of Earthlings you protect shall pay for your defiance... beginning with this one.
[indicates Lois]

General Zod:
I sense the presence of Jor-El here. Destroy this place.
Lex Luthor:
Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late.
General Zod:
We have no more use for this one. Kill him.
Lex Luthor:
Me? Lex Luthor? General... I helped you through the tough times, remember? You came to me with nothing, and I gave you Superman!
General Zod:
Silence!
Lex Luthor:
Well, look -
[Non shoves Luthor from behind]

Lex Luthor:
Watch it, don't touch me!
[to Superman]

Lex Luthor:
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. You kept everything pure and simple. I've always respected you for that.
Superman:
...I guess there's some good in you after all, Lex Luthor.
Lex Luthor:
Oh, yeah... I'm full of good. I just don't get to use it very often.
Superman:
[whispering]
All right, I guess we'll have to take that chance... We need to get them all into this molecule chamber; it takes away their powers, see, and turns them into ordinary human beings. Now, if you can...
[Zod approaches]

Lex Luthor:
Don't go in there, General; that's a molecule chamber. It makes people like you into... people like me.
General Zod:
You've done well, Lex Luthor.
[he motions to Ursa, who prepares to break Lois's neck]

Lex Luthor:
General, the crystal there activates the mechanism.
[Zod motions for the Man of Steel to enter the chamber]

Lois Lane:
[choking]
No... Please, Superman, don't!
Superman:
ALL RIGHT! Leave her alone, Zod!... You win.
General Zod:
Lex Luthor, ruler of Australia, activate the machine.
[Non grabs Luthor and flies him up to the control panel]

Lex Luthor:
Thank you.
[takes a crystal]

Lex Luthor:
With your permission.
General Zod:
Of course.
[Lois cries as Superman enters the chamber and the red lights turn on]

General Zod:
[Superman exits the chamber]
And now, finally...
[motions for the Man of Steel to kneel before him, which Superman does]

General Zod:
... Take my hand, and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.
[Superman grips Zod's hand... and crushes it! As Zod groans in agony, the Man of Steel lifts him off the ground and throws the villain across the chamber into a wall. Zod slides into a chasm below. Then Non tries to fly at Superman, but finds himself unable to do so; he, too, falls into the chasm below]

Lex Luthor:
He switched it, did it to them! That's whey the lights were on out here... while he was safe in there!
[Superman nods and gives Luthor a "You guessed it" sign]

Lois Lane:
You know something? You're a real pain in the neck!
[Lois punches Ursa into the chasm below]

Superman:
[Lois goes to Superman, who hugs her]
Are you all right?
[she nods]

Superman:
... I knew you'd double-cross me, Luthor. A lying weasel like you couldn't resist the chance.
Lex Luthor:
Me, are you kidding? Hey, I was with you all the time! That was beautiful! Did you see the way they fell into our trap? Ha ha!
Superman:
Too late, Luthor! Too late.
Lex Luthor:
Look, Superman, I got a proposition for you. Now, don't stop me until you've heard this, because... I know I owe you one, but we're in the North Pole, right? Let's wipe the slate clean. If you give me a ride back, I promise I'll turn over a new leaf - a whole forest, while I'm at it! How's this sound to you: we'll say you were killed in the battle, you lie low at my place for a few months, and then we'll make a name for you as a professional boxer. I can see it now: The Smallville Strongboy. No, better yet: the Metropolis Masher! I ask you, is that a plan or is that a plan!
