Quotes 

• [Superman appears hovering outside Luthor's window. Luthor rolls it down] 

  Lex Luthor : Sorry, but we already have a window-washer.

  [silence] 

  Lex Luthor : Oh, the silent treatment, eh? Well, I don't know what you think you heard out there, but I know what you can prove, and it's nothing. You see, uh..."Superman", I own Metropolis. My technology built it, my will keeps it going, and nearly two-thirds of its people work for me, whether they know it or not. Even you have to admit it's a model of efficiency.

  [silence] 

  Lex Luthor : And yet, I've often thought it's a waste of my talents staying in just one city. A being of your abilities could be very useful to me on a, shall we say, global scale. Why don't you float on in and we'll discuss it, face-to-face?

  [silence. Luthor finally loses his composure] 

  Lex Luthor : SAY SOMETHING!

  [He grabs a model of the Lexo-skel and throws it. Superman catches it and crushes it to powder between his hands] 

  Superman : I'll be watching you, Luthor.

• Attorney : And so, as the agreed-upon merchandise never left Metropolis, my client the Regent respectfully requests a full and prompt refund.

  Lex Luthor : We had an understanding. All I had to do was arrange for the Regent's men to take possession, and they did. And now, because of this alien's interference, you expect me to eat a billion dollars?

• Lex Luthor : [putting down the Daily Planet]  Well, well. An alien in my own backyard. And such a civic-minded one, too.

  Lois Lane : I think he means what he says, Lex.

  Lex Luthor : Well, that's just dandy, Lois. All I know is your hero did nothing to help me. I'm the one who's out a billion-dollar battle suit.

  Clark Kent : Actually, this could end up a silver lining in your pocket, couldn't it?

  Lex Luthor : What's that?

  Clark Kent : Now that the terrorists have your prototype, the Pentagon is undoubtedly gonna want you to build a bigger and better version for them. When all is said and done, this could net you a multibillion-dollar windfall.

  Lex Luthor : Lois, it almost sounds as if your friend here is suggesting I should be glad my suit was stolen. You're very amusing, Mr... Kent, is it? Yes, I'll remember that.
