- Superman: I realize it's a lot to ask, but Luthor...
- J'onn J'onzz: I know.
- [turning to face him]
- J'onn J'onzz: He must be stopped.
- Superman: [sharing a smile with him] Smart guy.
- 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.
- Mercy Graves: He's the most deeply twisted man I've ever met. Of course I'll help you.
- Superman: Good, if he contacts you, let us know.
- Mercy Graves: You have my word.
- Batman: He hasn't already contacted you, has he?
- Mercy Graves: Don't you think I would had told you?
- Batman: The two of you were very... "close".
- Mercy Graves: I'm a different person now.
- Batman: ...Right.
- [Superman and Batman leave]
- Superman: She was a little too cooperative, wasn't she?
- Batman: You're learning.
- Hawkgirl: It was some kind of android. It had wings built into it, and a mace too. Scary, huh?
- Wonder Woman: Sounds like whoever made it had you in mind.
- Hawkgirl: Yeah, it even acted like me.
- The Flash: Now that's scary.
- Wonder Woman: The android... about 10 feet tall, gray skin?
- Hawkgirl: How'd you know?
- [Wonder Woman points to TV coverage of Amazo fighting police]
- 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.
- Superman: Where are you?
- J'onn J'onzz: I can't talk now.
- Superman: Are you all right?
- J'onn J'onzz: Leave me alone!
- [flings the communicator down from his ear and stomps on it]
- Wonder Woman: [after Amazo copies her powers] You forgot to mention he's as strong as I am.
- Hawkgirl: He wasn't like that before.
- Green Lantern: Batman, it's Lantern. We've found Hawkgirl's robot.
- Batman: Where are you?
- Green Lantern: Don't even think about it. Somehow, this thing is copying all our powers just by looking at us.
- Superman: We can't just stay here.
- Green Lantern: That's exactly what you're gonna do. You come here, and all you'll do is make him even stronger. Ahhh!
- Batman: Lantern!
- Wonder Woman: [Amazo copies Superman's powers] Hera help us!
- Green Lantern: She'd better. No one else can now.
