- Superman: [Lytener, calling himself Luminous now, is using hologram duplicates] Enough, Lytener! What do you want?
- Edward Lytener: [one at a time] To kill you, for getting in my way, for making a mockery of me and my work.
- Superman: And how are holograms supposed to kill me?
- Edward Lytener: Well, we might only be made of light, but so are lasers!
- Superman: [Superman encounters a burly cowboy Lytener hologram cracking his knuckles] Trying to scare me with holograms again?
- [Lytener suddenly delivers a powerful blow to Superman, knocking him to the ground]
- Edward Lytener: With the proper use of laser fields, the hologram actually feels quite solid, doesn't it?
- Edward Lytener: [being caught and flashed with cameras] Get those lights out of my eyes!
- Superman: You heard him. Put him somewhere nice and dark.
- Luminus: Don't feel bad, Lois. It's not personal this time. I have bigger fish to fry now, and frankly, you're just bait.
- Lois Lane: [sarcastic] Oh, yeah. That makes me feel better.
- Luminus: Ah. Speak of the devil, and here he comes.
- [she sees Superman approaching]
- Luminus: Someday, I'll have to figure out how he's always watching over you.
- [she screams as he cuts the brakes of her tram and the car falls]
- Superman: [straining to stop it] Lois, I can't hang on for long! The tram's too heavy!
- Luminus: Just wait, Superman. This is only the beginning.
- Superman: Lytener.
- Luminus: It's Luminus now. Tell me, Superman, feeling a little under the weather?
- Superman: [to Lois] Quick! Give me your hand!
- Luminus: Yes, tend to Lois. This was just a test. You'll realize what I've done to you in time. See you soon...
- [vanishing]
- Luminus: Even if you don't see me.
- Lois Lane: Kent, do me a favor and cover for me at the Animal Rights Coalition.
- Clark Kent: Where are you?
- Lois Lane: Heading over to Truman Island. Got a tip on Lytener's next move.
- Clark Kent: What happening to laying low until this guy was caught?
- Lois Lane: It was driving me nuts is what happened.
- Clark Kent: And if he takes a shot at you?
- Lois Lane: Then you'll know who did it.
- Jimmy Olsen: Well, this is the address. LexCorp Satellite-Com. Currently out of use.
- Lois Lane: And out of sight.
- Jimmy Olsen: There's supposed to be a building here.
- Lois Lane: Look! Up in the sky!
- Jimmy Olsen: [seeing a bird inexplicably sitting in mid-air] It's a bird.
- Lois Lane: Yeah, but what's it sitting on? Come on.
- [carefully moving forward, she finally feels a hard surface]
- Lois Lane: Ha!
- Jimmy Olsen: [bumping into something] Uhh! Ow.
- Lois Lane: I think I found a doorknob.
- Jimmy Olsen: It's unlocked?
- Lois Lane: If you had an invisible door, would you bother to lock it?
- Lois Lane: Come on, Lex. Those are your satellites up there, and Lytener's worked for you before. How do you expect me to believe you have nothing to do with it?
- Lex Luthor: [playing archery] What you believe makes little difference to me. The fact is, I did provide Lytener with resources while behind bars, but only for legitimate LexCorp research. I had no idea he'd escape, and I certainly didn't tell him to hijack my own satellites for his own revenge.
- Lois Lane: Heck, why not? You'd love to see Superman dead.
- Lex Luthor: Oh, please, Lois. Forget that I'm losing millions in communications revenues. Do you really think I'd jeopardize the welfare of the planet just to settle my personal grudge with Superman?
- [firing an arrow, it hits the bullseye, and he smirks]
- Clark Kent: Check the trades, SEC reports. See if Luthor's recently unloaded any satellite control equipment.
- Lois Lane: If Lex is behind Lytener, he'll have covered his tracks. Put the hardware under another name.
- Clark Kent: [seeing a Bat-Signal-ish "S" in the sky outside] And, uh, while you guys are on that, I'm gonna check if there's anything down in microfilm.
- Edward Lytener: Here's the game, Superman. Lois and her friend are somewhere in the building. Find them, and I spare their lives.
- Superman: I don't play games, Lytener.
- Edward Lytener: Oh, come now. After all I went through to remove your powers, I do deserve to have a little fun.
- Professor Hamilton: I can have the rocket operational within the hour.
- Superman: Good. If I can shoot a few of those satellites out of the sky, maybe I can let in some real sunlight.
- Luminus: Sorry, Superman. No space jaunts for you today.
- Superman: [seeing a hologram of Lois and Jimmy tied up] Where are they?
- Luminus: Want to save them? All you have to do...
- [turning into a glowing orb]
- Luminus: ...is follow the bouncing ball.
- Professor Hamilton: Superman, you're almost powerless. He's obviously trying to lure you in.
- Superman: And doing a good job.
- Luminus: How does it feel to be mortal, Superman? To know pain? Well, don't worry. You won't have to endure it for long.
- Luminus: [as he fires his blaster, Superman picks up a radar dish and deflects it back, destroying Lytener's machine and restoring the blue sky] NO!
- Luminus: [leaps on Superman] I can still finish you off!
- [punches Superman repeatedly, only for his enemy to recover and crush his own fist]
