James Marsters: Milton Fine

Quotes 

• Professor Milton Fine : Impressive. Looks like I underestimated your willingness to tackle a nonprofit venture.

  Lex Luthor : Well, Luthercorp doesn't take the threat of an alien armageddon lightly. You were never gonna create a vaccine for humans, were you?

  Professor Milton Fine : Is that what you think?

  Lex Luthor : It was gonna be your way of of protecting your extraterrestrial guests when they arrive and unleash some horrible disease on us.

  Professor Milton Fine : So you went behind my back and mass-produced the vaccine for mankind.

  Lex Luthor : I wanted to give my people a fighting chance before you got your dirty hands on them.

  Professor Milton Fine : I applaud your noble efforts to protect your species. I never intended to mass produce the vaccine. Unfortunately, it's all based on faulty assumptions. One dose is all I ever need.

  [he grabs Lex by his arm and injects him with the vaccine] 

  Professor Milton Fine : Let the rest of the world find its own cure.

• Professor Milton Fine : Some say the toast came about by a man who feared that his drink had been poisoned. But he was a quick-witted man. He joyfully clanked his mug with the mugs of his mates, sloshing his lethal beverage into everyone's drink with cheer. A simple tap, then, must be a sign of trust.

  [Lex declines to drink Fine gives him] 

  Lex Luthor : I'm not really thirsty.

• Lex Luthor : I'm hoping this will help me get a few answers.

  [Lex pulls out a kryptonite rock on Fine and it has no effect on him] 

  Professor Milton Fine : Close... but I'm not one of them. I was only made by them.
