Lionel Luthor:
You remember, um, Lear, son? Shakespeare. King Lear. Wanted to abdicate, retire. Lear had three children. He tells them he will divide his kingdom between them, giving the largest portion to the one who loves him most. Two of the children declare their lavish devotion. The youngest, his favorite, is blunt and plainspoken. Stop me if you know where this is going.

Clark Kent:
Lear disowned the child who loved him all along.

Lionel Luthor:
Big mistake. So, it's just you and your sister now. There's certainly not getting Lex back. You saw to that.

Clark Kent:
I killed Lex.
