ST Instance Transcription:
Zod: I should have known you’ve come after me, all to save that doomed race. When faced with a crumbling world these humans they’d rather die than unite under a single leader and do what’s required to build a glorious new world. It’s tragic, you thought you could take me on like this. Metropolis would not be destroyed if you’d had all just
stopped fighting and joined me.
Clark: we’ll never stop fighting, Zod. Humanity will never lose its spirit!
Zod: goodbye, son of Jor-El.
Lois: Clark!
Zod: No.
Clark: Zod! Your reign of terror is over, Zod. I’m sending Lois home to the past so she can warn us about your tower before it’s ever built.
Zod: you chose to fight me. You forced me to unleash my power! We could have made this planet a paradise!
Clark: it always was. But you never gave humanity a chance.
Zod: they have made you weak. If she travels back in time than the lives we know will cease to exist. You’d had destroyed our world.
Lois: Clark! Clark!
Clark: Take the ring, put it on.
Lois: no!
Clark: you have to, now!
Lois: what if I never see you again?
Clark: you will.
TT Instance Transcription:
Zod: Dovevo immaginare che saresti venuto a cercarmi solo per salvare una razza condannata. Di fronte a un mondo che collassa…questi umani preferiscono morire piuttosto che unirsi sotto un unico leader e fare quello che serve per costruire un glorioso nuovo mondo. È assurdo, hai pensato fosse meglio combattermi, ma Metropolis non sarebbe mai stata distrutta se aveste smesso di combattermi e vi foste uniti a me.
Clark: non smetteremo mai di combattere. L’umanità non perderà mai il suo spirito!
Zod: addio figlio di Jor-El. No.
Clark: Zod! È finito il regno del terrore, Zod. Rimanderò Lois a casa, nel passato, così ci avvertirà della torre prima che venga costruita.
Zod: Tu hai scelto di combattermi. Tu mi hai costretto a scatenare il mio potere. Avremmo potuto rendere questo pianeta un paradiso!
Clark: lo è sempre stato, ma non hai mai dato una possibilità agli esseri umani.
Zod: perché ti hanno reso debole. Se lei torna indietro nel tempo la vita che conosciamo ora cessa di esistere. Non puoi distruggere il nostro mondo.
Lois: Clark! Clark!
Clark: Lois…Prendi l’anello, mettitelo.
Lois: no!
Clark: fallo, adesso!
Lois: e se non dovessi rivederti più?
Clark: mi rivedrai.
