Lex Luthor:
Your farm's drowning in debt; we both know it. All I'm trying to do is offer you a hand, but you keep slapping it away.

Jonathan Kent:
I learned a long time ago, from a man much smarter than myself, that you need to solve your own problems.

Lex Luthor:
Your father lived in different times, and he had his share of help. Seems government subsidies carried him through a number of lean years.

Martha Kent:
Where did you get these?

Lex Luthor:
It's a matter of public record. I'm making a business offer; I had to do my due diligence.

Jonathan Kent:
Why are you so interested in our family, Lex?

Lex Luthor:
Your son brought me back from the dead, Mr. Kent. When he reached in and pulled me out, he gave me a new life. Your father put his family's future over his own pride. Are you willing to do that?
