Quotes 

  • Lex Luthor : What am I gonna do with you people, huh? I mean, I held up my end, I delivered the blue boy. What do I get from my triple threat? "Bow! Yield! Kneel!" That kind of stuff closes out a town.

    General Zod : Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?

    Lex Luthor : Kill me? Lex Luthor? Extinguish the greatest criminal flame of our age? Eradicate the only man on Earth with...

    Ursa : Let me kill him.

    Lex Luthor : ...Superman's address?

    General Zod : What more do you want? I can see the greed written on your face.

    Lex Luthor : A small incentive, oh fullest one. A mere bauble to jog the memory.

    General Zod : What more?

    Lex Luthor : Cuba.

    [Non growls] 

  • [the Kryptonians stand at the White House, bored. Lex Luthor manages to weasel his way in, waving a handkerchief as though it's a white flag] 

    Lex Luthor : Lex Luthor.

    [beat] 

    Lex Luthor : *Lex* Luthor? Maybe you've heard of me? The greatest criminal mind on Earth?

    Ursa : [to Zod]  I told you this was a puny planet.

    [Ursa and Non approach Luthor with menace] 

    Lex Luthor : Wait. Wait! Wait until you get to know me better. I can, uh -- I can give you -- anything you want! The unlimited freedom to maim, kill, destroy! Plus -- Lex Luthor's savvy, Lex Luthor's school of bett...

    [Luthor's hand gets crushed by Ursa] 

    General Zod : We have all of this without you. You cannot bargain with what you do not have.

    Lex Luthor : With respect, Your Magnificence, what am I bargaining with is what you do not have: the son of Jor-El.

    [All three are stunned] 

    General Zod : The son of Jor-El?

    Lex Luthor : [to Ursa]  I did say that, didn't I?

    General Zod : Jor-El, our jailor?

    Lex Luthor : No, Jor-El, the baseball player.

    [menaced again by Ursa and Non] 

    Lex Luthor : Yes! Jor-El, your jailor!

    General Zod : His son is on this planet?

    Lex Luthor : Perhaps you're more familiar with his nom de voyage or name he travels under: Superman.

    General Zod : So... this is Superman.

    [to Luthor] 

    General Zod : How do you know of Jor-El?

    Lex Luthor : As I told Your Fullness earlier...

    [smiles] 

    Lex Luthor : I'm about the best there is.

    General Zod : [standing up]  Revenge! We will kill the son of our jailor!

    Ursa : Revenge!

    Lex Luthor : [gleeful]  Revenge! Now we're cooking, huh?

    General Zod : He flies then?

    Lex Luthor : Constantly.

    General Zod : He has powers as we do?

    Lex Luthor : Sure, but he's just one. Whereas you are three...

    [Non growls] 

    Lex Luthor : Or four if you count him twice!

    General Zod : We will bring him to his knees!

    [the Kryptonians exit] 

    Lex Luthor : Wait! Wait! First you must find him and Lex Baby is the only one who knows where he is.

    [Hating to have to tolerate him any more, Zod stares back at Luthor] 

    General Zod : What... do you want?

    [Luthor strides over to the President's desk and kicks his feet up while lighting a cigar] 

    Lex Luthor : Well, General... the world is a big place. Thank goodness my needs are small. I have a certain weakness for... beachfront property.

    General Zod : What do you want?

    Lex Luthor : [does the famous Nixon victory pose]  Australia!
