• Lex Luthor : Help me. I'm... I'm...

  Mercy Graves : Sick? Dying? And you couldn't do it someplace else?

  Lex Luthor : After all I've done for you?

  Mercy Graves : You mean letting me, a lowly chauffeur, run your company while you were away? Oh, was I flattered! But then I realized, there was no one you could trust to give it back. Only me, your loyal "dog". Well, let me tell you something. This "dog" took LexCorp out of the hole you dug and brought up the stock 38%, all on her own. So, if you think I'm ever gonna let you...

  Lex Luthor : [grabs her by her throat]  Looks like there's some life in the old suit after all. Now where's Professor Ivo?

  Mercy Graves : I - I fired him.

  Lex Luthor : You *what*? He was one of our best scientists! How could you do that? Well?

  Mercy Graves : I - I was trying to save money. He's probably at his place on Mountain View.

  Lex Luthor : Good girl.

• Lex Luthor : [Noticing Amazo sporting replica Hawkgirl wings]  Well, looks like Ivo was right on the money. His duplication program seems to be working rather well. I assume you ran into Hawkgirl?

  Amazo : Girl with wings. Yes.

  Lex Luthor : And seeing that you were able to get away with this, I take it she didn't fare too well. is she still alive?

  Amazo : Yes.

  Lex Luthor : [Disappointed]  Aww...

  Amazo : What's wrong?

  Lex Luthor : Let me tell you a story, it's about a young man whose dream was the build a great empire. He succeeded, but he lost it all because of seven very bad people... Hawwkgirl and her friends, the Justice League.

  Amazo : The Justice League.

  Lex Luthor : That young man was me, of course. And now I have another dream... It's to take back control of that empire, and then when the time comes, I want to hand it down to someone who will continue my work... the son I never had. But none of that can happen until you give the Justice League what they deserve.

• Lex Luthor : Looks like the cigarettes finally got you.

  [looks at his damaged containment suit] 

  Lex Luthor : And maybe me too.

  [Amazo appears behind him] 

  Lex Luthor : Well, what are you waiting for? It's not like I won't be dead soon enough, anyway.

• Amazo : When will Professor come back?

  Lex Luthor : Never.

  Amazo : He has to!

  Lex Luthor : You miss him. So do I. He was one of my best friends.

  Amazo : He was?

  Lex Luthor : Almost like a brother, and he would have wanted me to look after you if anything ever happened to him.

  Amazo : So... you're going to take care of me now?

  Lex Luthor : Mm-hmm. But you're going to have to take care of me, too. Otherwise, I'll go to sleep and never wake up again.
