Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : When Winston Churchill heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor, he broke out a bottle of champagne and said "We've won the war." His generals looked at him like he lost his mind. America's Pacific fleet was wiped out, France was overrun, and the Luftwaffe was bombing London. Churchill said "America is like a giant boiler. Light a fire under it, and there's no limit to the amount of heat it can generate." If you start a fire, Mayor Tate, you'd better be prepared to deal with the flames.

• Lex Luthor : In life, the road to darkness is a journey, not a light switch.

  Ryan James : You should remember that, Lex.

• Lex Luthor : [about Ryan]  So you staged a one-man prison break? How did you manage to get him out without anybody stopping you?

  Clark Kent : Just lucky, I guess.

  Lex Luthor : You're the luckiest guy I've ever met. Let's hope it doesn't run out before tomorrow.
