Smallville (TV Series)

Finale (2011)

John Glover: Lionel Luthor, Darkseid

Quotes 

• Lionel Luthor : It's time you embrace your lineage, Tess. Time to become the Luthor were destined to be.

  Tess Mercer : Why did you bring me here?

  Lionel Luthor : My son, Lex - your brother, a genius - carried on with the family business. As you know, Lex cloned himself. There were many clones. None of them were perfect, but some pieces were.

  Tess Mercer : No.

  Lionel Luthor : Yes. Lex took the best pieces and grafted them into a masterwork.

  Tess Mercer : I don't believe you.

  Lionel Luthor : Of course you don't. Lex is a visionary, you're not.

  Tess Mercer : Where is he then?

  Lionel Luthor : He'll reveal himself when he's ready.

  Tess Mercer : It's not possible.

  Lionel Luthor : Well, there's one thing Lex wasn't able to duplicate successfully. Lex is missing a heart. And who better to save him then the sister who loves him? Luthors are survivors. You are one of *us*, my dear. It's all right. When the day is done, I will see the Luthor name resurrected more powerful than ever.

• Darkseid : The lost son of Jor-El.

  Clark Kent : Darkseid. My father sent me to protect this planet. And will fight you to my last breath.

  Darkseid : There must be a part of you that's disgusted by how easily your people fell to me.

  Clark Kent : They may not be perfect, but I believe even in the darkest soul, there's always hope. People want to believe in something greater, and it may be easier to hate, but it's stronger to love.

  Darkseid : Is it? Eons have passed since I came face-to-face with a force that could possibly tip the balance to the light. You are the light! You cast out the darkness from Oliver Queen, and you will obliterate my darkness from the rest of the world if you are not stopped! You will surrender to me. You will lose your soul. I will annihilate you!

• Darkseid : You refused me once, but this may be the moment when you'll reconsider my offer.

  Lionel Luthor : I never intended to live forever. There's only one life I care about. Let my son live.

  Darkseid : In exchange for your soul.
