Image:Quote1.png You've made a mistake, Superman. A big mistake. A potentially fatal mistake. I run this town, Superman. Metropolis belongs to me. The people are mine, to nurture, or destroy, as I see fit. And they've forgotten that. They've looked at you, with your costume, and your flashy super-human powers... and they've forgotten who their master is. Who is number one! And I intend to remind them, Superman. I'm going to show them you're nothing, Superman. A card-board cut-out. One day, very soon now, you're going to die, Superman. You're going to be destroyed and you'll know who's doing it. Everyone in Metropolis will know. But no one will ever be able to prove it. I'll not be arrested, Superman. Not ever again. Remember, Superman. You're a dead man. It's just a question of how soon!

Image:Quote1.png
Lex Luthor: That part's easy enough. I think I'll run on the platform of Truth, Justice and the American Way. I know, it's what the big blue boyscout used to believe, before he grew too sophisticated -- or embarassed -- to say it anymore. Well, since he's no longer using it, I doubt he'd mind if I borrowed it -- since it's so perfectly apropos of our current predicament. You disagree? Then let me walk you through it point by point. The Truth is we've been forcibly captured and exiled on this miserable world, without benefit of trial or due process. The ones who dumped us here expect us to live out the rest of our sorry lives, surviving perhaps, but most likely dying horrible, alien deaths. It doesn't matter to them. As long as we never darken their doorstep again. But the Justice would occur in finding a way to confound their schemes, to get back to our own world and exact our very Just revenge on them. Personally, I'd be partial to feeding each and every one of the scum into their own Boom Tube generator -- but selecting empty space as the exit point. Now, I've been a loyal American all of my life, long enough to realize what the true American Way is. The true American Way is a simple function of appetite. When I see something I want, I take it -- as much of it as I want. And I don't care a bit if that doesn't leave enough for anyone else. And if what I want doesn't exist yet, then I find a way to build it. When they wanted a cheap way to cross the vast American contientent, but there were as yet no railroad lines, what did the robber barons do?
Crowd Member: Uhm... they built them?
Lex Luthor: Exactly! And when our nation's military leaders wanted a quick and easy way to kill thousands of souls at once, but there were as yet no atom bombs, what did they do?
The Crowd: They Built Them!
Lex Luthor: And now, since we want to get off this dismal backwater planet to return to our own world, but we don't have one of those Boom Tubes to get us there, what are we going to do?
The Crowd: We Build It! We Build One!
Lex Luthor: Damn Right we will! Because That, my friends, is the American Way! Now who wants to join me in going home and making those bastards pay for their temerity in sending us here?
The Crowd: We do!
Lex Luthor: Then, my friends, I suggest we roll up our sleeves and get to work.
