Quotes

Lois Lane : [to Tess] You redheaded rat!
Zod : Do you know her?
Tess Mercer : She used to work for me. But then she disappeared.
Lois Lane : [punches Tess in her face] Traitor!
Tess Mercer : I am this planet's savior! I helped General Zod take power to ensure this Earth's survival.
Lois Lane : Tess Mercer, the ultimate ecoterrorist.
Zod : And what are *you*? I understand you were seen talking to Clark Kent. It was only a matter of time before the resistance got to him.
Lois Lane : The only thing I'm resisting is the urge to kick both your asses. And if Clark were here right now, he would back me up.
Zod : The only reason Clark is still alive is because I hoped he'd join us to bridge the gap between our people.
Tess Mercer : Trust me, Zod. No one has worked as hard as I have to get Clark to see the good that we're doing. But I think we fooled ourselves long enough. He won't come around.
Zod : Which is why neither of you is any good to me alive.
Lois Lane : Excuse me?
Zod : A double execution will send out a strong message to anyone who would dare defy me. Hmm. Take heart, Lois. At least you can enjoy a glorious last meal.

Stuart Campbell : Spying on Lois' computers and hacking into her therapist files. Did you really need to escalate into kidnapping her from a coma ward?
Tess Mercer : There's a mystery surrounding Ms. Lane. And this is my chance to solve it.
Stuart Campbell : So, what, all this because she told a shrink she has headaches and sees weird futuristic flashes?
[seeing her look]
Stuart Campbell : What? I can't hack in these files and not read them.
Tess Mercer : They're called boundaries, Stuart. Find some. And these futuristic flashes may not be imaginary. Besides, Lois was investigating Zod's orb when she vanished for three weeks.
-
Tess Mercer : Can't you get more than just fragments?
Stuart Campbell : I-I'm sorry, Tess, but her mind is like a mental mosh pit right now, okay? Only a human...
Tess Mercer : Pause it.
[recognizing a building]
Tess Mercer : That's Zod's solar tower. Exactly as it's designed to be built. But the plans haven't even gone public yet.
[realizing]
Tess Mercer : Lois did go to the future.
Stuart Campbell : Okay, well, you better pop some popcorn. 'Cause she's remembering something.
-
Tess Mercer : [waking from Lois' memories] Chloe kills me.
Stuart Campbell : I'm not sure what you saw in there, but out here, you are still alive. So I guess I did okay, right?
Tess Mercer : You did your job, Mensa boy. Now finish it. I don't want Lois waking with the memories that I just saw. That'd be too dangerous. Use the device to wipe them out.
Stuart Campbell : Tess, if I make a mistake, she could come out of this catatonic.
Tess Mercer : Don't argue with me, Stuart.
-
Tess Mercer : [impaled by an arrow] You always were a good shot.
Oliver Queen : I didn't do this to you. I didn't.
Tess Mercer : No, I did this to myself. It was a risk, choosing Zod over my own people. But someone had to save the Earth. I couldn't give up on that.
Chloe Sullivan : [standing over them as she dies] I had the shot. I had to take it.
