Tony Jay: Sul-Van

Quotes 

• [as Kal-El's ship launches, another earthquake starts] 

  Driver Cop : Not another one!

  Sul-Van : No... the last one.

• Sul-Van : Send Kal-El to another world? You can't be serious!

  Jor-El : The ship will get him there. I know, I built it. It was part of the plan: save everyone in the Phantom Zone, travel to Earth, then bring them back. Now it's only good for a lifeboat. And the passenger will be my son. The last son of Krypton.

• Sul-Van : All I can tell you, Lara, is that if he persists in predicting the end of the world, it'll the end, all right, of his political and professional career.

  Lara-El : But what if he's right, Father?

  Sul-Van : Try convincing the Council. He hasn't one supporter for his theory. They even avoid him in the hallways. And do you know why?

  Jor-El : Why is that, Sul-Van?

  Sul-Van : Because you can never be wrong, Jor-El. You can never let it go. You have an ego the size of Argos.

  Jor-El : I never let my ego get in the way of the facts.

  Sul-Van : Well, let me let you in on a little fact. Unless Brainiac agrees with you, it's all over. No more expeditions, no more research, no more...

  Jor-El : [an earthquake begins]  It's another temblor.

• Sul-Van : Lara, please, this is madness!

  Lara-El : Father, I love you dearly, but this is my baby's life.

  Sul-Van : [of Jor-El]  But he can't outrun the police.

  Lara-El : Do you have a better idea?

• Lara-El : What happened?

  Jor-El : Brainiac tried to kill me. The police will be here soon. Remember when I told you what we'd do if worst came to worse?

  Lara-El : No!

  Jor-El : I'm sorry. I never thought it would come to this.

  Sul-Van : Come to what? What are you talking about? What's this nonsense about Brainiac?

  Jor-El : Sul-Van, if you love your grandson and care one whit about his future, you'll kindly shut up!
