Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : I'm glad you're all here. You can bear witness that I've been on your side all along.

  Jimmy Olsen : Save it, Luthor.

  Lois Lane : How do you think they got here? I had Superman stop by on the way over. They had a nice, long talk.

• Lex Luthor : [Superman forces his way into his office, throwing his desk aside]  Something troubling you?

  Superman : I'm having trouble with your job performance.

  Lex Luthor : All I've ever done is give you what you wanted.

  Superman : Not anymore, Luthor. Show's over.

  Lex Luthor : Maybe for you.

  [as he takes out a piece of kryptonite, Superman begins to feel its effects] 

  Lex Luthor : A gift from your adoring public.

• Superman : They'll never accept you.

  Lex Luthor : Oh, no? I'll tell them how you forced me to enslave them, how I stood between them and your terrible wrath. Then when I toss them your poisoned, green carcass, I'll be more than their leader. I'll be their savior.

• Lex Luthor : Naturally, I was quite skeptical when Commander Graves said you were still alive. But according to this DNA scan, you are Lois Lane.

  Lois Lane : No question who you are. You're the one thing that's exactly the same.

  Lex Luthor : [quietly to Mercy]  The insolence, the outright rudeness. She's definitely the genuine article.

  Mercy Graves : But how?

  Lex Luthor : It doesn't matter. If he finds out she's still alive, who knows what he'll do? He's hard enough to work with as it is.

  Mercy Graves : So, you want me to...

  Lex Luthor : Yes, but not here.

  Lois Lane : [Mercy drags her out]  Hey! I'm not finished.

  Lex Luthor : I beg to differ.
