Superman Returns! - Mike Hanson - 06-27-2006
Jor-El:
"You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never
leave you... even in the face of our deaths... the richness
of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've
learned, everything I feel... all this, and more... I
bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you all the
days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and
see my life through your own eyes, as your life will be seen
through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the
son. This is all I can send you, Kal-El.
Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength
and your power are needed. Always hold in your heart the pride
of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El,
they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way.
For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have
sent them you... my only son."

As biblical as that speech is it has always been one of my favorite monologues ever written for film. Goosebump enducing especially when you hear "Planet Krypton" playing in the background only to give way to the superman theme. Awesome combination of words and music.
