121'''[[SupermanSubstitute Nolan]]:''' That was your fault. Your stubbornness against the inevitable killed those people. How many more need to die, Mark? It's up to you. And what were they doing with those fragile little lives anyway. Listen to what I'm saying, you know in your heart I'm right!\
122'''Mark:''' Right? About how pathetic and pointless humanity is? Is Mom's life worthless?\
123'''Nolan:''' In the grand scheme of things, yes.\
