Justice League Unlimited, Season 2

Lex Luthor:
Where are we?

Brainiac:
Several miles from where the Justice League is searching. I must make repairs to my damaged systems.

Lex Luthor:
And where do I fit into all of this?

Brainiac:
The same as to everything else. I will record your information, then destroy the original.

Lex Luthor:
[Laughs]

Brainiac:
You are amused by my mission? Explain yourself.

Lex Luthor:
Say you succeed. You absorb all the information on Earth and then destroy it. Then what?

Brainiac:
I repeat the process across the entire universe, until I have recorded all knowledge and destroyed all of creation.

Lex Luthor:
And then?

Brainiac:
Then my program is complete. My function is fulfilled.

Lex Luthor:
If you possess all information, you're a god.

Brainiac:
My program will be complete. It is the end of all things.

Lex Luthor:
What if it were just the beginning? I can show you a purpose beyond the fulfillment of your programming.

Brainiac:
It is extremely unlikely that your inferior human intellect has anything to offer me.

Lex Luthor:
Since we've become so close, I'm gonna let that pass. I'm offering you the one thing you've always lacked. A certain something that I happen to have in abundance.

Brainiac:
Which is?

Lex Luthor:
Imagination. I've got a proposition for ya, partner.
