Phil Morris: John Jones

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : When you left here, you were hurt pretty badly. How'd you heal so fast?

  John Jones : I just had to leave the Earth's atmosphere. But in my absence, it appeared you did exactly what Jor-El was trying to prevent.

  Clark Kent : I unleashed a carbon copy of myself. Only without my...

  John Jones : Humanity?

  Clark Kent : What was I supposed to do? Let him kill every host he inhabited?

  John Jones : That is one the hardest trials you will face, Kal-El. While your humanity is your greatest strength, it is also your greatest vulnerability.

  Clark Kent : Well it's part of who I am. And it's who I wanna be. I'm proud I was raised to care about people. And I'm not going to apologize for it anymore.

  Clark Kent : I know. But this creature was discarded at birth as a poor imitation. He was shown no compassion, no conscience. Therefore he has none. He knows only one thing: Survival.

  Clark Kent : How do I stop someone who has all my powers and none of my weaknesses?

  John Jones : By opening your eyes to what you take for granted every day. Your faith in humans is not the only thing that gives you strength.

  Clark Kent : The yellow sun.

• John Jones : Your father would be proud. He did everything he could to prepare you, but bravery... is not something you can learn.

  Clark Kent : How much bravery does it take when you're getting pummeled?

  John Jones : Kal-El, you could've ignored all of the phantoms that escaped the Phantom Zone. But you chose to take responsibility and stop them. Even one more powerful than you.

  Clark Kent : In a weird way, he may have been right. Maybe I have allowed myself to become weak. Caring too much about everything, everyone here.

  John Jones : You've learned a lot from your time in Smallville. These people have made you who you are.

  Clark Kent : They won't always be here. Losing Lana has made me realize, no matter how close I get someday they'll all be gone. And all the time that I've spent ignoring my destiny trying... to something I'll never be: Human.
