-->'''Earth-2 Lionel''': (''to Clark Kent'') I made your destiny--your future, ''our'' future--my whole preoccupation. For God's sake, Clark, I [[CainAndAbel let you kill Lex]], your own brother, my son!
-->'''Clark Kent''': It wasn't me.
-->'''Earth-2 Lionel''': (''angrily kicks Clark in the face'') I've been afraid of you, Clark--of your power. You know, you may want to use that, uh, [[MacGuffin box]] and escape from here, but the truth is that I'm the one that's been a prisoner all this time.
-->'''Clark Kent''': Let me use the mirror box. I'll go away. You'll never have to worry about me again.

-->'''Earth-2 Lionel''': Clark is a [[PhysicalGod god among men]]. Though how he could love you, a consummate disappointment, is beyond me. You're nothing but trouble, Tess. You're corrupting him.
-->'''Earth-2 Tess''': You take a good, long look in the mirror at the person who's responsible for corrupting Clark.
-->'''Earth-2 Lionel''': I have worked too long and too hard to let you, a little half-bred tramp with a Magdalene complex, ruin everything.
