Lena Luthor : 'Cause you're running around with Otis and Mercy Graves, and they're his henchpeople. Come on, Benjamin. Last year you were an out-of-work history professor and now you're a Cabinet member with superpowers. Do you expect me to believe that just happened?

Lena Luthor : If you had 24 hours, would you be able to extract the Harun-El from Ben Lockwood's system?
Lillian Luthor : Yes. Why? You don't think you can do it?
Lena Luthor : Lex has figured out how, and I haven't cracked it yet. But your mind works like his.
Lillian Luthor : Well, as much as I love a challenge, we both know who this is really for. And why would I ever do anything for Jimmy Olsen?
Lena Luthor : Oh, because your lunch was laced with an exotic neurotoxin, and no, I'm not gonna tell you which one.
[holding up a vial]
Lena Luthor : I have the antidote, and you have 24 hours. I've just given you the gift of focus.

James Olsen : So everything he believed in is a lie?
Lena Luthor : And there's another thing. I think he's deteriorating because of the Harun-El.
James Olsen : That's not gonna happen to me, is it?
Lena Luthor : No. Ben injected the untested serum. And by tomorrow, it won't matter anyway. I'm working on an extraction.
James Olsen : [seeing Lockwood's car peel out] Is it just me, or is that a man who needs answers?
Lena Luthor : Maybe this wasn't such a dead end after all.
-
Lillian Luthor : Starting extraction.
James Olsen : No! We don't know what's coming. I need my strength.
Lena Luthor : You're unstable.
James Olsen : Then stabilize me.
Lena Luthor : We don't know how.
