Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Why didn't you just tell me there was danger? Let me make my own decision?

  Lionel Luthor : If I'd told you, you would've rushed out to search for your enemies. I couldn't take that chance that you might get hurt.

  Clark Kent : So instead you shoot me with kryptonite tasers, you trap me in a kryptonite cell. Why would you even build that thing?

  Lionel Luthor : Clark, you're not the only Kryptonian who's come here. Your fellow travelers are violent, extremely violent. I built that cell for them.

  Clark Kent : Then why imprison me?

  Lionel Luthor : Clark, son...

  Clark Kent : You're not my father! I spoke to Patricia. She told me about the Veritas murders.

  Lionel Luthor : The truth can be very easily manipulated.

  Clark Kent : You would know that better than anyone, Lionel. You've been doing it for years.

  Lionel Luthor : I'm different now. I'm a different man.

  Clark Kent : No, you're not.

• Lex Luthor : What secret was so important that you and your friends built a group around it?

  Lionel Luthor : Oh, think about it, Lex. Skull & Bones, Scroll & Key, the Delphic. The rich have secret societies. The others have poker nights.
