Prodigal Quotes
Clark: I'm sorry that Lucas didn't turn out to be the brother you wanted.
Lex: Considering his father, I'm surprised he's still alive at all.
Clark: Where is Lucas now?
Lex: Safe. But I'm going to have some work to do to regain his trust.
Clark: You will. You're not your father.
Lex: Sometimes, Clark, we're all held hostage by the will of our fathers. The only difference is, your dad is a good man. All my father does is push people away.
Clark: As long as I live, I don't think I'm ever going to understand your family.
Lex: Neither will I. Just remember, my father may try and rule the world, but yours will inherit the earth.
Lex: I bet a lot of people are out looking for you. Like your friends from Edge City.
Lucas: Oh, wow, Lex, is that a threat?
Lex: You know, Lucas, the Luthor gene pool is a shark tank, and our father's just chummed the waters. Good Luck.
Lex: Is this newest scam, uh... corporate titan in training?
Lucas: Unlike you, Lex, I don't live in my father's shadow. My training's over.
Clark: If your father was hiding Lucas why would he suddenly let you find him?
Lex: Because ever since he took LexCorp, he knows I've been looking for an opportunity to get back at him. He co-opted Lucas before I could. While I've been playing checkers, my father's been playing chess.
Clark: Let me give you a hand with that.
Lex: Thanks Clark, but I'd like to prove to your father once and for all that some Luthors pull their own weight.
Lionel: You know Lex, I'm tired of your constant attempts at mutiny.
Lex: Yeah, well, you didn't leave me too many options. It was either that or the plank.
Chloe: Clark Kent applied for part time? And he didn't put me as a reference? What's up with that?
Lana: It doesn't matter. I'm not going to hire him anyway.
Chloe: Why not?
Lana: Well, you work with him at the Torch. Isn't it strange, supervising your friend?
Chloe: Are you kidding? Bossing around Clark is the highlight of my day! Besides, he always comes through, even if it is in his own special Clark time.
Clark: I thought he was supposed to be, well... uh, dead.
Lex: Nah, just buried by my father.
