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.

• Lois Lane : So, how's it work?

  Professor Hamilton : I wish I could tell you.

  Lois Lane : Top secret, huh?

  Professor Hamilton : No, it's Kryptonian technology based on the Phantom Zone projector. We don't fully understand it yet.

  Jimmy Olsen : But can you really look into other dimensions with it?

  Professor Hamilton : In theory, it should be a kind of window. But all we've been able to get so far is static.

  [demonstrating what he means] 

  Professor Hamilton : You see?

  [noticing a window is cracked, Lois walks around a post and sees it's not on the other side] 

  Lois Lane : Hey! Professor! It's different!

  Professor Hamilton : What is?

  Lois Lane : The glass is cracked. You can see it between the posts. It works! We're looking into another dimension.

• Lois Lane : [after seeing the alternate dimension's Superman]  He's so different.

  Jimmy Olsen : Different? Huh, what about you?

  Lois Lane : What do you mean?

  Jimmy Olsen : You're supposed to be dead. You were working on that Intergang piece. They put a bomb in your car. Remember?

  Lois Lane : Sure, but Superman saved me.

  Jimmy Olsen : He didn't save you. He got there a split-second too late. I saw the photos. That's when everything changed. He started wearing the black costume. Then he teamed up with Luthor, said he wanted to make the city safe again. Here's the result.

  Lois Lane : [he leads her into a room]  Who are they?

  Jimmy Olsen : People who've lost their jobs, their families, 'cause they wouldn't go with the program. We're part of the resistance now. It's your turn to explain. How'd you survive?

  Lois Lane : Jimmy... it's a long story, and...

  Revolutionary : Jim! We were listening on the police scanner. We thought Superman got you.

  Jimmy Olsen : I was the lucky one.

  Revolutionary : Did you get it?

  Jimmy Olsen : [opening his satchel, revealing a piece of kryptonite]  Superman's not gonna be a problem much longer. All we need is the right opportunity.
