Bill Mondy: Dr. Edward Groll

Quotes 

• Dr. Edward Groll : After an exhaustive battery of tests, we discovered that the crystal's composition doesn't match any element on this planet. It appears to be some kind of computer hard drive. We believe it may be alien.

  Tess Mercer : You can't be serious.

  Dr. Edward Groll : I know that's hard to accept, but that's what the facts support.

  Tess Mercer : No, the facts are, Lex disappeared in an arctic wasteland here on Earth. He's not lost in space. This crystal is the only clue that we have, so stick to science, not science fiction, and find me Lex Luthor.

• Tess Mercer : You know, Lex Luthor may have been wowed by your high-tech smoke and mirrors, Dr. Groll. But I've come to expect more hardcore evidence from boys and their toys.

  Dr. Edward Groll : So far, my toys have provided a breakthrough in identifying the crystal's origin.

  Tess Mercer : Prove to me I wasn't wrong spending weeks to lure one of Lex's top scientists out of hiding.

• Dr. Edward Groll : Preliminary findings suggest that the crystal responds at a molecular level to sonic vibrations. If you allow me to proceed, this frequency generator may be the key to telling you what you want to know.

  Tess Mercer : For your sake, I hope it is.
