Quotes
-
Lois Lane : Sabotage?
Clark Kent : Has to be. Luthor's too careful to foul up like that.
Lois Lane : But who'd want to destroy Luthor?
[notices Clark's look]
Lois Lane : Well, yeah, but who'd be crazy enough to try?
-
Clark Kent : Granted, Lois, Luthor does a lot of strange things. But what reason could he possibly have for trying to fool his own bodyguard?
Lois Lane : Maybe he just needed some space. Haven't you ever noticed how she hovers over him, everywhere he goes?
Clark Kent : But, Lois, that's her job.
Lois Lane : It's no wonder why you're still single, Kent.
-
[last lines]
Lex Luthor : I'm waiting.
[Mercy gets out of the limousine and opens the door for him. He gets in, and she trades a look with Superman, then drives off]
Superman : Just a stray.
-
Lex Luthor : Careful with that thing! I want the tech boys to analyze every circuit.
Superman : You know, that's really a job for the military.
Lex Luthor : They have no claim on Brainiac. Every single one of his parts is registered LexCorp property.
-
Clark Kent : Hi. Clark Kent, Daily Planet. I need to ask Luthor a few questions.
Secretary : *Mr.* Luthor is behind closed doors and doesn't want to be disturbed.
Clark Kent : [surreptitously using his x-ray vision] Is that a fact? Tomorrow, I'm going to print a story suggesting possible sabotage within LexCorp. I think *Mr.* Luthor's friends at the Pentagon should find it fascinating reading.
-
Clark Kent : I wonder what new toy Luthor's showing off to the brass today.
Lois Lane : Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to wind up on all their Christmas lists.
-
Lex Luthor : Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for joining me on this beautiful spring morning. As I speak, two Sidewinder missiles are being fired toward this very building.
Lois Lane : [angry shouts from audience members] He's gotta have something up his sleeve.
Clark Kent : I hope so.
Lex Luthor : Quiet, please! The missiles will never make it here, thanks to... this.
[a large weapon is unveiled]
Lex Luthor : The LexCorp Sky Sentry. Its high-energy magnetic beam is designed to knock out the guidance system of any incoming missile. Activate.
[the machine powers down]
Lex Luthor : I said activate!
Sky Sentry Operator : It's not responding, sir. The field setting's been reprogrammed!
-
Superman : Why are you willing to risk your life for Luthor? What does he have on you?
Superman : Nothing. Before I met him, I was living on the streets, like a stray dog. He took me in, made me what I am.
[her handprint entry doesn't work]
Mercy Graves : It's not working!
Superman : I think I may be able to help.
-
Mercy Graves : What are you doing here?
Superman : Someone fired a bomb into Metropolis. I followed the vapor trail. Where's Luthor? Come on, Mercy. Your loyalty could end up getting him killed.
Mercy Graves : According to the tapes, the last place he was seen was Sector 6, the R&D lab. He never came out.
Superman : Wait here.
Mercy Graves : No! I'm coming with you.
-
Mercy Graves : Lex, I...
Lex Luthor : I said I didn't want to be disturbed.
Mercy Graves : But there's a reporter here with questions.
Lex Luthor : I have no time.
Clark Kent : Maybe he should *make* time.
Mercy Graves : [blocking his way] Hey! One more step and it gets ugly.
Clark Kent : [getting past her and opening the door to Lex's office] What are you trying to pull here? Where's Luthor?
Mercy Graves : He... he was right here. You saw him.
Clark Kent : [picking up a coffee cup] This coffee's ice cold. Nobody's been here for a while. Well?
Mercy Graves : I'm afraid you're gonna have to leave, Mr. Kent. Now.
Clark Kent : [stopping at the door] Do yourself a favor, Ms. Graves. Call me when your lord and master turns up.
