Lex Luthor:
Help me. I'm... I'm...

Mercy Graves:
Sick? Dying? And you couldn't do it someplace else?

Lex Luthor:
After all I've done for you?

Mercy Graves:
You mean letting me, a lowly chauffeur run your company while you were away? Oh, was I flattered! But then I realized, there was no one you could trust to give it back. Only me, your loyal "dog".

Lex Luthor:

Mercy Graves:
I - I was trying to save money. He's probably at his place on Mountain View.

Lex Luthor:
