Tess Mercer:
Alexander, it that's what you want... you have a chance to make that happen.

Alexander:
How can I ever trust Clark again? He made my father hate me. He took away everything I ever cared about. And the last time I was up here, I begged him to tell me the truth about himself. But as always, he denied who he really was.

Tess Mercer:
Clark is not the bad man, Alexander. Lex is. He used you just like he used me. And you don't deserve what's happened. You don't have to buy into his memories. I will help you.

Alexander:
Why? So you can feel good about yourself? So you can exorcise those demons deep within your soul? Isn't that what you've always wanted? To save the world so you can redeem the evil inside you?

Tess Mercer:
Stop it.

Alexander:
But you couldn't do it alone, so you clung to powerful men.

Tess Mercer:
Enough!

Alexander:
First Oliver Queen, then me, then Zod, and now, Clark Kent.

Tess Mercer:
[smacks him] I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I just want to help you. I know I can do this. I know I can save you.

Alexander:
How can you save me when there's so much you don't even know about yourself?

Tess Mercer:
Please. Please. Alexander...

Alexander:
Don't call me that. My name is Lex.
