John Schneider: Jonathan Kent

Quotes 

• Jor-El : [Jonathan screams as a tri-phasic beam of light strikes him surrounding him in an intense column of light and the light begins to speak]  I am Jor-El, the true father of Kal-El.

  Jonathan Kent : His name is Clark Kent! I am his father, I raised him.

  Jor-El : You have fulfilled your function in Kal-El's destiny.

  Jonathan Kent : His destiny is whatever he makes of it.

  Jor-El : His destiny is too great for you to comprehend. This was Kal-El's first test to see if he was ready to begin his journey.

  Jonathan Kent : He's too young! He needs more time!

  Jor-El : This phase of Kal-El's journey is almost complete. It will be of no consequence if he returns to you... for now.

  Jonathan Kent : You'll bring him home?

  Jor-El : If you want him, you must retrieve him yourself.

  Jonathan Kent : I can't. He's too powerful.

  Jor-El : Are you willing to sacrifice anything to get him back?

  Jonathan Kent : Yes! For my son I'll do anything.

  Jonathan Kent : [the light widens and becomes more powerful as Jonathan cries out in pain]  Aaah! Aaah!

• Jonathan Kent : Hello, Clark.

  Clark Kent : [cocky, smiling]  Jonathan Kent. Isn't it a little past your bedtime? How'd you find me?

  Jonathan Kent : Your biological father.

  Clark Kent : You two are working together now, huh? That's cute. But I didn't listen to him and I'm certainly not gonna listen to you.

  [Clark tries to leave and Jonathan puts a hand on his chest, stopping him] 

  Jonathan Kent : Clark. You need to put all this behind you, son. Come on home to the people who love you.

  [Clark smiles and pats his hand on Jonathan's chest. Then he pushes Jonathan hard, sending him flying across the office where he crashes into the wall, denting it with his back and falling to the floor] 

  Clark Kent : You should've stayed in Smallville.

  [Jonathan looks up at Clark from the floor and Clark looks back at him intensely, almost as if challenging him. Jonathan rises slowly to his feet] 

  Jonathan Kent : Son, you're coming home with me. Now.
