Martha Kent:
So you would give us the latest farming equipment and technology?

Jonathan Kent:
All in exchange for our independence.

Lex Luthor:
My influence would be minimal, but existing, yeah. It's a partnership.

Jonathan Kent:
We could get a loan.

Lex Luthor:
Or you could allow me to help you get to the point where you never need someone like me again.

Martha Kent:
I'll admit, it looks generous.

Lex Luthor:
It is.

Jonathan Kent:
Which begs the question what does Lex Luthor get out of all this?

Lex Luthor:
I believe there's profit to be made. I'm not exactly in the charity business.

Jonathan Kent:
Like father, like son.

Lex Luthor:
Take some time to think about it. I'm sure you'll see the benefits outweigh your other options.
