General Zod
[Zod is in sheer defeat after the destruction of everything he was going to use to terraform Earth; with the return of his crew along with Dr. Hamilton and Colonel Hardy to the Phantom Zone, Zod and Superman are the last of the Kryptonians]
Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent, or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now, I have no people. My soul…That! Is what you! Have taken! From me!
General Zod
[He lunges at Superman and attacks him in his rage and pain at having lost his purpose]
I am going to make them suffer, Kal, these humans you've adopted. I will take them all from you, one by one!
Superman
You're a monster, Zod. And I'm going to stop you.
