• Colonel Nathan Hardy : Miss Lane. I'm Colonel Hardy, U.S. Northcom. Dr. Emil Hamilton from DARPA. You're early.

  Dr. Emil Hamilton : Hi.

  Colonel Nathan Hardy : We were expecting you tomorrow.

  Lois Lane : Which is why I showed up today. Look, let's get one thing straight, guys, okay? The only reason I'm here is because we're on Canadian soil and the appellate court overruled your injunction to keep me away. So, if we're done measuring dicks, can you have your people show me what you found?

• Colonel Nathan Hardy : [to Faora-Ul]  You're right: a good death is its own reward.

• Colonel Nathan Hardy : This man is not our enemy.

  Clark Kent : Thank you, Colonel.

• Faora : Are you the ranking officer here?

  General Swanwick : I am.

  Faora : [pointing at Lois]  General Zod would like this woman to accompany me.

  Colonel Nathan Hardy : You asked for the alien. You didn't say anything about one of our own.

  Faora : Shall I tell the general you're unwilling to comply?

  Colonel Nathan Hardy : I don't care what you tell him.

  Lois Lane : It's all right. I'll go.

• Lois Lane : What if I need to tinkle?

  Colonel Nathan Hardy : There's a bucket in the corner.

• Officer Sekowsky : NASA's EOS satellites pinged the anomaly first. The ice shelf plays hell on the echo soundings. But there's definitely something down there.

  Lois Lane : A submarine, maybe? Soviet-era?

  Colonel Nathan Hardy : Hmm, doubtful. That's 300 meters. Considerably larger than anything we know they built back then.

  Officer Sekowsky : But here's the spooky part. The ice surrounding the object... it's nearly 20,000 years old.

• Colonel Nathan Hardy : Ms. Lane? Try not to wander. Temperatures drop to -40 at night around here. Wouldn't find your body 'til after spring.
