Dylan Walsh: General Sam Lane

Quotes 

• General Sam Lane : You still looking for the simple life? 'Cause those days are gone, Clark, long gone.

• Captain Luthor : You have to stop protecting him.

  General Sam Lane : Superman?

  Captain Luthor : Stop calling him that! He's not one of us, Sam. Where I come from, you're like me, and you don't trust him either, because you know what he is capable of. You have to help me save your planet, Sam, before Kal-El...

  [Superman tackles him] 

• Superman : What is this?

  General Sam Lane : No clue. He acted like we were chums, though.

  Superman : So that's why he was here? For you?

  General Sam Lane : He was here for the same reason he was in Moldova and Mongolia: kryptonite.

  Superman : You have a supply?

  General Sam Lane : I do.

  Superman : And you never told me?

  General Sam Lane : I don't tell you lots of things.

  Superman : How much do you have, Sam?

  General Sam Lane : Let's just say it's the reason the world's in short supply.

  Superman : Why?

  General Sam Lane : So no one gets their hands on it and uses it against you. When are you gonna realize everything I've done since the day you married my daughter has all been for all of your protection?

  Superman : Then find this guy so I can finish this.

• General Sam Lane : Why'd you move the family here? You took Lois away from where she needs to be, hurt Jonathan's football chances. Jordan's got no chance of fitting in with kids here. Must have had a hell of a reason.

  [realizing] 

  General Sam Lane : You told the boys you're Superman.

  Clark Kent : Couldn't lie to 'em anymore.

  General Sam Lane : You sure as hell could.

  Clark Kent : Sam...

  General Sam Lane : You have any idea what you just did? You ruined their childhood, Clark. I've seen the toll this life's taken on Lois over the years. She never says anything to you, but I know. Now you're gonna put the boys through that same hell?

  Clark Kent : This is gonna keep my family together.

  General Sam Lane : No, Clark, it's gonna tear it apart.

• General Sam Lane : Sources tell us our armored friend hit a black-market weapons site last night in Moldova.

  Clark Kent : What'd he take?

  General Sam Lane : Not sure yet. Blew out the whole operation before leaving, though. What'd he say to you, exactly?

  Clark Kent : Just what he knew about Superman, and that we'd see each other again.

  General Sam Lane : Well, we know how to make that happen. This time, he came in a ship.

  Clark Kent : So he brought more than just a war suit with him.

  General Sam Lane : He sure did. My guys were able to assign this thing a residence identifier. Goes airborne again, we got him.
