Quotes 

• Dana : Derek, I know the heart wants what the heart wants, but it seems Lex Luthor's heart wants a psychopath.

  Nxylgsptinz : They haven't even met me yet.

  Derek : Hey, what's next? A cutsie couple name? Uh, I know. Lexly.

  Lex Luthor : [with restrained anger]  I'll nail gun their drivel-spouting tongues to their pinheads.

  Nxylgsptinz : Looks like someone should have hidden his diary a little better.

  [snickering] 

  Nxylgsptinz : What is it they called you? The Man of Tomorrow? Quite a lofty title. Did you give yourself that name? Truth be told, I actually quite like the part about... the burning oceans.

  Lex Luthor : In actual news, I've started work on your LexoSuit army. I can show you what I've done so far.

  Nxylgsptinz : Not now. The crystal ball still hasn't shown me where the truth totem is. So much for your fixing it.

• Nxylgsptinz : The Truth totem. Of course. The camera never lies. Cgyrzyk.

  Totem Oracle : [the totem activates]  To see things as they truly are, you must reveal the truth within yourself.

  Nxylgsptinz : The truth within. I want justice against all those who wronged me. I want power, because I want to be free. I never again want to be at the mercy of others.

  [looking at the totem] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Not good enough, eh? Fine. I'm afraid of the parts of myself that are like my father... and the part of me that still... still wants his approval.

  [still nothing happens] 

  Nxylgsptinz : So... until I say something you whispers like, you're going to keep me here, alone. Well, joke's on you, because I'm used to being alone. Always have been always will be. But I don't want to be. The truth is... I want to know that those close to me won't betray me. I want to have someone close to me.

  Totem Oracle : Now you may see the truth of who is worthy of your trust, for you have performed admirably.

• Martian Manhunter : Dreamer, can you close the dream portal?

  Dreamer : I'm trying!

  Brainiac-5 : [removing the totem from Nxyly's gauntlet]  I got the Dream totem.

  Nxylgsptinz : No!

  [sucked through the portal, the Super Friends enter the Dream Expanse, and Nia manages to portal them back to the Tower] 

  Supergirl : Fast thinking, Dreamer.

  Lena Luthor : Naxim's ship, it's gone.

  Martian Manhunter : [Brainy shows her the totem]  But we have this.

• Nxylgsptinz : All your arrogant boastings about your insights into the future, and yet you didn't see this coming.

  Lex Luthor : Your needs are my raison d'etre. You get all the totems very soon, but you have to be patient.

  Nxylgsptinz : I'm tired of being patient. Waiting for this finicky crystal ball, which, for all I know, you tampered with just so you could get the totems for yourself.

  Lex Luthor : I understand why you might not trust me yet, but what's more important right now is that you trust yourself.

  Nxylgsptinz : And what makes you think I don't?

  Lex Luthor : Because I know what you can achieve when you do. In the future, you told me how you conquered the Fifth Dimension, but your father fled. So you set a trap where everyone said your father wouldn't be, and you were right. Finally, you made your father pay. What you've always been able to count on, what I'll always count on... is you.

  Nxylgsptinz : [her crystal ball glows]  The Truth totem. Don't you dare say "I told you so."

• Lex Luthor : Butterscotch sticky buns? Your favorite, as I recall.

  Nxylgsptinz : I don't like sweets.

  Lex Luthor : You will. Thought you might need a little pick-me-up after your ordeal passing the Truth gauntlet.

  Nxylgsptinz : I told you... it was easy.

  Lex Luthor : And yet, you haven't seemed like yourself since. Remember, there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you.

  [getting to her feet, she puts the totem in his hand] 

  Lex Luthor : What are you doing?

  Nxylgsptinz : Making sure of your intent.

  [putting him under the totem's influence] 

  Nxylgsptinz : I can't risk giving my heart to a dishonest fool. But luckily I have the powers of the Truth totem, so... tell me, your poems, did you mean what you wrote?

  Lex Luthor : Every word. My only desire is to rule by your side while destroying everyone who gets in our way.

  Nxylgsptinz : And after we've rebuilt the AllStone, you're going to betray me.

  Lex Luthor : Betray you? Betraying you is... inconceivable. I've spent my whole life believing no one was worthy of me, until you. It's why I came back to find you at this time. I want to help you achieve everything you want and deserve. And I know I can do this for you because I have. It is my only desire.

  [she removes the totem's influence] 

  Lex Luthor : Did I pass?

  Nxylgsptinz : You have performed admirably.

• Supergirl : [phasing into Mitch's ship]  J'onn, there's no sign of Lex or Nxyly. Anything?

  Martian Manhunter : [in another corridor]  Negative. I'm about to search the port side of the...

  Supergirl : [getting static]  Wait. J'onn? J'onn, I can't...

  [two LexoSuits appear and blast her backward] 

  Nxylgsptinz : My suit feels different.

  Lex Luthor : I thought you might appreciate a little extra oomph, so I custom-fitted the Truth totem into your chest plate. You'll find the Hope totem in your left arm cannon.

  Supergirl : Lex, we know about you and Nxyly in the future. We're not gonna let that happen.

  Lex Luthor : It seems that you've forgotten, I always get what I want.

  Nxylgsptinz : [he fires a blast of energy]  Ooh. That looks like it hurts.

  Lex Luthor : Just some 31st-century nanobots to soften her up.

• Nxylgsptinz : I've got her.

  Lex Luthor : Ooh. Looks like we have what we need. I'll take my leave.

  [coming back] 

  Lex Luthor : Just remembered one last thing I had to do.

  [shooting William twice] 

  Lex Luthor : That was for leaking my journal. If by chance you're still alive when your friends return, remind them that I am always one step ahead. Your, uh, shameful little back-alley meeting with Otis... I arranged that. Oh, and, uh, when my dear sister used her data interception program to track my LexoSuits, she unknowingly activated a Trojan virus that infected the computer here. That caused a delay in a very important blood test result being sent out. See, I had to prevent your friends from understanding how important the little girl was until I got what I wanted.

• Lex Luthor : [breaking into the Tower looking for Esme]  Where is she?

  William Dey : Not here.

  Nxylgsptinz : [her crystal ball glows]  He lies. Never mind. I'll find her.

  Lex Luthor : So, this is what Supergirl and her chums call their lair.

  [while his back is turned, William takes out his phone and turns on the camera, then hides it on a side table] 

  Lex Luthor : Seems remarkably... underwhelming.

• Nxylgsptinz : There you are.

  Esme : Do I know you?

  Nxylgsptinz : I'm a friend of your mum's.

  Esme : Where's William?

  Nxylgsptinz : Oh. He had to go back to work. Hmm. Be he asked me to come take care of you. I saw the cookies that you and William baked. They look scrumptious. You and I ought to go have ourselves a little tea party. Would you like that, Esme?

  [Esme nods] 

  Nxylgsptinz : We're gonna have the grandest time.

• Nxylgsptinz : Poor, deluded Supergirl. So naively hopeful, despite overwhelming odds.

• Mitch : Hey, guys. I just wanted to thank you for not leaving me behind to get blown up with my ship. You know, I thought I'd feel sad, you know, seeing it go, but I feel kind of free. Like, for the first time in my life... I have options.

  Lex Luthor : Here's an option. Go restock the fridge.

  Mitch : You're not the boss of me.

  Nxylgsptinz : Actually, he is. Out.

• Lex Luthor : If you'd rather be alone, I can...

  Nxylgsptinz : No, don't leave. I'm actually quite tired... of being alone.

  Lex Luthor : I will always be here for you.

  Nxylgsptinz : The longer you're around, the more you put yourself at risk, and the more you give up our most powerful weapons, because you're scared that I might get hurt. It's foolish and weak. And I'm running out of reasons not to trust you. I don't have my totems. I don't have my magic. My only other ally is a... moronic former zookeeper. I don't have anything to offer you. And yet you're still here. Which proves what the Truth totem told me. You really do care.

  Lex Luthor : I meant every word I wrote in my journal. Albeit, my didactic rhyming scheme lacked a certain je ne sai quois. But... I love you, Nxyly. And that is not something that comes naturally to me.

  Nxylgsptinz : Nor to me. I'm beginning to see why my future self... fell for you.

  Lex Luthor : Is that so?

  Nxylgsptinz : Mmm.

  Lex Luthor : Hmm.

  [her crystal ball chimes] 

  Lex Luthor : I think you may wanna take a look at that.

  Nxylgsptinz : [picking it up]  The Love totem. Did you know that was going to happen? When I finally started to fall in love with you?

  Lex Luthor : If you did. I may be from the future, but you're never predictable.

• Nxylgsptinz : Why would someone collect all these trophies just to store them where no one can see them?

  Lex Luthor : It's not about flaunting what you got. It's about having it and knowing no one else does.
