- Lois Lane: Okay. Better make sure that camera is loaded with ammo because I got tomorrow's headline. "Daughter of Nobel-Winning Astronomer Murdered."
- Jimmy Olsen: That Swann woman they fished out of the lake last night?
- Lois Lane: Yeah.
- Jimmy Olsen: I thought that she drowned.
- Lois Lane: More like sank. Kind of hard to swim after you've been shot.
- Lionel Luthor: No, I've repented!
- Chloe Sullivan: That's right, you're an intensely *spiritual* man. You amassed all the power a human could until you found out about Clark. Befriending him is the closest thing you'll ever get to seeing God.
- Clark Kent: What did you do to Lana?
- Brainiac: A little adjustment to her central nervous system. Absolutely irreversible by any human standards. Completely reversible by me.
- Kara: Whatever you want me to do, just don't let Lana suffer.
- Brainiac: I'm afraid that she is suffering. There's part of Lana that is completely aware of what's happening around her, but she has no control of her body. Her motor skills, her speech, every breath she takes is controlled by me.
- Clark Kent: Leave Lana out of this.
- Brainiac: Did I mention that Lana is in excruciating pain? She just can't express it.
- [Kara tries to give Clark a boost so he can fly]
- Clark Kent: Not helping.
- Kara: I'm sorry, Yeah, I know. It... but it's just really easy. Up, up and away.
- Lionel Luthor: If we don't open that envelope, Dr. Swann's conclusions could be mythical as the gods of Mount Olympus.
- Robert Queen: Virgil's going to be here in any minute. I suggest you don't refer to his life's work as mythology.
- Edward Teague: Veritas...it's the greatest secret the world will ever know.
- Robert Queen: We formed this group to use our wealth and power to protect that secret. Not expose it.
- Lionel Luthor: Is that Robert Queen talking, or is that Virgil Swann? You're sounding more like him every day.
- Lionel Luthor: If Dr. Swann's prediction is correct, the traveler is coming now. We can't wait. That envelope and the secret inside it, will give us ultimate power. You're afraid. You don't trust yourself with that, do you?
- Edward Teague: There isn't one among us, who could resist that temptation.
- Robert Queen: We agreed, we would not open that envelope unless the traveler proved to be a threat. That's why Swann and I are flying to Zurich, to make sure that the secret is kept locked safely away, and ultimate power is left in the hands of the gods.
- Gina: We traced the key to the national depository of Switzerland, but we hit a roadblock.
- Lex Luthor: When we're this close, I think it's fair to say, that persuading a glorified teller should be the least of our worries. If someone's holding out, pay them whatever they're asking.
- Gina: This bank held off the Third Reich, the Sicilian Mafia, and Al-Qaeda. With all due respect, I'm fairly certain they won't bow to you.
