Quotes 

• Lionel Luthor : You, know, Clark, in certain cultures when a father presents his son with a gift of a knife, it represents a... rite of passage.

• Lex Luthor : You tried to warn me about Fine, but I didn't listen.

  Lionel Luthor : You never have. Not matter what I've given you, the things you've always wanted were beyond your grasp. This time you've overreached yourself.

  Lex Luthor : Did you come out here to lecture me or to help me?

  Lionel Luthor : It's too late to do either, isn't it? You made a deal with the devil. He always comes to collect.

• Lionel Luthor : Clark... the real test of a hero is knowing when the greater good will be served by an evil act. To save the Earth, the cost of one life is the price that must be paid.

  Clark Kent : Even if that life is your son? Lex is the vessel of Zod.

• [after Lex sends Lionel flying into the limosine windshield] 

  Lex Luthor : Dad, are you okay?

  Lionel Luthor : What have they... done to you... Lex? What have they turned you into?
