• Otis Graves : So what's the play?

  Lex Luthor : Paper tigers.

  Otis Graves : [confused]  Uh...

  Lex Luthor : Chinese idiom. Paper tigers threaten, but are destroyed easily. Kaznia wants to move on the U.S. They're crazier than Russia. They wanna bring back the glory days of the Soviet Union.

  Eve Teschmacher : So you wanna help them?

  Lex Luthor : I don't care about their politics. Regimes change. Kings die. But if Kaznia attacks America, and I foil the attack, America will hail me as a hero. To do that, I'm gonna need patsies in both the East and the West. So, Otis, fetch your sister and find me a real American. Someone charismatic, a radical.

  Otis Graves : I think I know just the guy, Mr. Luthor. Name's Ben Lockwood, seems smart.

  Lex Luthor : Back to Stryker's. Prison's the best alibi the world has yet devised, and I'm about to need a lot of alibis.
