We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

Lex Luthor

It's kryptonite, Superman. Little souvenir from the old home town. I spared no expense to make you feel right at home.

Lex Luthor

This is Lex Luthor. Only one thing alive with less than four legs can hear this frequency, Superman, and that's you.

Lex Luthor

Lois Lane: Any more at home like you?
Clark Kent: Uh, not really, no.

Your father used to say you were put here for a reason.

Martha Kent

You took away five years of my life. I'm just returning the favor!

Lex Luthor

You're not seeing the big picture here.

Lex Luthor

[after saving Lois Lane and other members of the media from a plane crash] Well, I hope this experience hasn't put any of you off flying. Statistically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel.

[about Jason] He's a little fragile, but he's gonna grow up to be big and strong... just like his dad.

Lois Lane

This crystal may seem unremarkable, but then so is the seed of a redwood tree. It's how our mutual friend in tights made his Arctic getaway spot. Cute, but a little small for my taste.

Lex Luthor

Kitty Kowalski: My heart, my palpitations, they're gone, what did you do?
Superman: I didn't do anything, Ma'am.
Kitty Kowalski: [breathlessly] Call me Catharine.

Lex Luthor: Come on, let me hear you say it, just once.
Lois Lane: You're insane.
Lex Luthor: No! No, not that the other thing. Come on, I know it's on the tip of your tongue.
Lois Lane: Superman will never...
Lex Luthor: WRONG!
