- You're as much a child of Earth now as you are of Krypton.
You can embody the best of both worlds,
the dream your mother and I dedicated our lives to preserve.
(door clicks)
The people of Earth are different from us, it's true,
but ultimately I believe that's a good thing.
They won't necessarily make the same mistakes we did,
not if you guide them, Kal.
Not if you give them hope.
That's what this symbol means.
The symbol of the House of El means hope.
Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief
in the potential of every person to be a force for good.
That's what you can bring them.

- [Kal] Why am I so different from them?
- [Jor] Earth's sun is younger
and brighter than Krypton's was.
Your cells have drunk in its radiation,
strengthening your muscles, your skin, your senses.
Earth's gravity is weaker,
yet its atmosphere is more nourishing.
You've grown stronger here than I ever could have imagined.
The only way to know how strong
is to keep testing your limits.

You will give the people of Earth
an ideal to strive towards.
They will race behind you.
They will stumble.
They will fall, but in time,
they will join you in the sun, Kal.
In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.
