John Glover: Lionel Luthor

Quotes 

• Lionel Luthor : You're not Martha Kent.

  Lois Lane : Would you have seen me if they said it was Lois Lane?

  Lionel Luthor : Lois Lane, yes. You're Chloe Sullivan's cousin. What a loss. You bite your nails; bad girl. But getting through the door doesn't mean I'll talk to you. Guard!

  Lois Lane : I don't believe that safe house explosion was an accident.

  Lionel Luthor : Of course you don't. You believe I'm responsible.

  Lois Lane : No. A stunt like that is... thuggish and obvious. It smacks of desperation. All the things you aren't.

  Lionel Luthor : All right, Miss Lane, you have my attention. What's your theory?

  Lois Lane : I don't have one.

  Lionel Luthor : [chuckles]  Then why are you here?

  Lois Lane : Because I wanted to look into the face of the son of a bitch who's responsible for my cousin's death. You may not have blown her up, but you're the reason she's gone.

  Lionel Luthor : Before you begin to anointer for sainthood, let's get some of the facts straight, all right? The simple truth is I made her an offer, she took it, I kept my end of the bargain, she didn't. She's dead as a result of her own actions. I had nothing to do with it. And next time you come at me with accusations, try to have a little more than righteous indignation. Zoo hours are over, Miss Lane. Good day.

  Lois Lane : [turning to leave]  You know, it must kill you that somebody has given you this gift. And you don't know who and you don't know why, but without Chloe's testimony, you're probably gonna walk out of here a free man. Or are you being set up?
