Quotes 

• Lillian Luthor : Why don't we have a cup of tea while Lex tells us why he summoned us here?

  Lena Luthor : He summoned us here to gloat.

  Lex Luthor : You think so little of me, Lena. It hurts. I'm a sentimental guy. I didn't do all of this for me, I did it for us. I mean, look, we all know if I wanted you two dead, you wouldn't be treading on the presidential seal having a tea party. Everything I've done has been strategic to lead up to this very moment. The Luthor name cleared. Our family poised to take its rightful place in history.

  Lillian Luthor : And what exactly are we poised to do?

  Lex Luthor : Revolutionize energy worldwide. I'm rounding up aliens and harnessing their power to be used and sold; sort of like supercharged disposable batteries.

  Lena Luthor : That's vile!

  Lex Luthor : Vile and viable. As another world leader once said, "I don't see why men shouldn't be as cruel as nature."

  Lillian Luthor : Try not to quote Hitler in public, dear. It'll hurt the brand.

• Lena Luthor : Let me guess, you're having the President tied up in the Treaty Room?

  Lex Luthor : Puppets don't need to be tied up, Lena. You just hang them up by their strings.

  Lena Luthor : Well, why don't you put a blond wig on the President, and you sell him and Eve as a matching set?

  Lillian Luthor : Now, now. You two play nicely. This the first family gathering we've had in ages, and I'd like to enjoy myself.

  Lena Luthor : Your murderous son has duped the world into thinking he's Earth's hero. This is hardly Thanksgiving dinner.

• Lena Luthor : You're not buying this, Mother?

  Lillian Luthor : Of course not. I've already poisoned his tea. If he'd stopped running his mouth long enough to take a sip, he'd be dead by now.

• Lex Luthor : And now, a toast... to incinerating the Man of Steel.

  [Lillian declines the offered glass] 

  Lex Luthor : I promise there's no Polonium-210 in it, like you put in my tea. Killing your own son with ionizing radiation, now that is on brand.

  Lillian Luthor : Cancer may have aged you prematurely, but you're still as sharp as ever. So, what's stopping you from shooting me and your sister?

  Lex Luthor : Call me crazy, but I'm partial to my relatives. I just can't bear killing you guys.
