ZOD: Stop. Stop, stop!
JOR-EL [OVER CRYSTAL]: --which Einstein called...
...his theory of relativity.
Embedded in the crystals before you is the total accumulation of all literature...
...and scientific fact from dozens of other worlds...
...spanning the 28 known galaxies.
Early Chinese writings point out the complex relationships....
By carrying this complex equation to its ultimate power, my son....
Chief among these powers will be your sight...
...your strength, your hearing...
...your ability to propel yourself at almost limitless speed.
The early history of our universe was a bloody mosaic of interplanetary war.
Each of the six galaxies which you will pass through...
...contain their own individual law, space and time.
It is forbidden for you to interfere with human history.

What was that?
[TIRE POPS]
Now, wouldn't that beat all get-out?
Will you-- You....
Huh?
Pa....
Oh, my.

All these years, as happy as we've been...
...how I've prayed the good Lord...
...see fit to give us a child.
Honey, will you hand me that rag up there.
You take things easy, Jonathan.
Remember what Doc Frye said about that heart of yours.
Now the first thing we've got to do when we get home is find out...
...who that boy's proper family is.
He hasn't got any. Not around here, anyway.
Martha, are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
We could say he's the child of my cousin in North Dakota.
And just now orphaned.
- Oh, Martha. - Jonathan, he's only a baby.
Martha, now, you saw how we found him.
There's something very strange about that boy.
Yeah, you saw him. Martha, you saw him...
...just as plain as I did, Martha.
Martha Clark Kent, are you listening to what I'm saying?
Jonathan!
