Lionel Luthor:
You know, you may want to use that, uh, box and escape from here, but the truth is that I'm the one who's been a prisoner here all this time.

Clark Kent:
Let me use the mirror box. I'll go away. You'll never have to worry about me again.

Lionel Luthor:
Not worry about you? That's all I've ever done - worry about you! I have sacrificed everything for your sake. I failed you, Clark. Because no true son of mine, no true Luthor would have let me live this long.

Clark Kent:
Not my choices.

Lionel Luthor:
You're right. I made you this way. And because I have failed you, Clark. It's got to be survival of the fittest! Whether you are on this earth or any other... I am the most fit! I will be the survivor!
