-->'''Zor-El''': Your father's ring might symbolize victory back home, but here, it means defeat.
-->'''Clark''': My mother gave me this ring.
-->'''Zor-El''': She had no way of knowing the blue mineral robs your powers. I, on the other hand, did a little research in one of my earlier walkabouts on Earth. I knew she'd slip it on your finger, like the good Kryptonian mother she is. She was so proud of your father.
-->'''Clark''': It was a trick. Her voice. All so I would activate the crystal.
-->'''Zor-El''': If Kara failed to activate the crystal, I knew I could appeal to your human tendencies.



-->'''Zor-El''': Kal-El, the blood of the House of El runs through your veins as much as it does mine! As much as you try to deny it, your destiny is to ''rule'', and we can do that together, as a family.
