Lex Luthor:
Morning. I heard you took out a bank loan today.

Jonathan Kent:
Did you?

Lex Luthor:
After our conversation the other night, I was, frankly, surprised. You despise me that much?

Jonathan Kent:
Believe it or not, Lex, some things actually have nothing to do with you. I decided to bet on my family.

Lex Luthor:
You're betting with Clark's future. I'm just trying to ensure it.

Jonathan Kent:
Yeah, well, so am I.

Lex Luthor:
With the bank? They'll kill you with interest while waiting for you to fail.

Jonathan Kent:
At least with the bank, I know where I stand.

Lex Luthor:
I know you don't believe me, but I genuinely want to help you. When you change your mind, my offer still stands.
