514
00:38:18,422 --> 00:38:20,549
If it wasn't for you...

515
00:38:20,716 --> 00:38:23,427
...I would be a crispy critter in Hellsville.

516
00:38:23,636 --> 00:38:26,388
No. You held your own...

517
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:29,225
...even when I didn't have my powers.

518
00:38:30,392 --> 00:38:32,269
Lois, you saved my life.

519
00:38:33,062 --> 00:38:35,898
Guess there's enough danger out there
for everyone.

520
00:38:37,024 --> 00:38:40,236
We just have to trust that we'll always
be there for each other...

521
00:38:40,402 --> 00:38:42,571
...when times get tough.

522
00:38:50,913 --> 00:38:53,249
Which is why I want you to have this.

523
00:38:54,166 --> 00:38:55,793
LOIS:
Uh ...

524
00:39:01,173 --> 00:39:04,093
The unabridged user's guide
to all things Kryptonian?

525
00:39:04,802 --> 00:39:07,263
It may fill in a few blanks.

526
00:39:12,768 --> 00:39:15,396
I want you to know me completely,
with no secrets.

527
00:39:18,983 --> 00:39:20,943
Because you're the one...

528
00:39:21,610 --> 00:39:23,612
...you always will be.

529
