Lex Luthor: What do you know about crystals?
Lois Lane: They make great chandeliers.
Lex Luthor: This crystal may seem unremarkable, but 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 tastes.
Lois Lane: You're building an island?
Lex Luthor: You're not seeing the big picture here, Miss Lane. Let me enlarge it for you. [brings down another map] Not just an island. An entirely new continent. An extinct world, reborn, on our own.
Lois Lane: Why?
Lex Luthor: [confused] Land, Miss Lane. I mean- Kitty, what did my father used to say to me?
Kitty Kowalski: You're losing your hair?
Lex Luthor: No, before that.
Kitty Kowalski: Get out?
Lex Luthor: He said, "You can print money, manufacture diamonds and people are a dime a dozen, but people will always need land." It's the one thing we aren't making anymore.
Lois Lane: But the United States...
Lex Luthor: [brings down another map] Will be underwater. It's simple physics, Miss Lane. Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
Lois Lane: And the rest of the world will just let you keep it? They'll...
Lex Luthor: They'll... what? I'll have advanced alien technology. Thousands of years beyond what anyone can throw at me. Bring it on!
Lois Lane: But millions of people will die.
Lex Luthor: Billions! Once again the press underestimates me. Come on, let me hear you say it, just once, come on.
Lois Lane: You're insane!
Lex Luthor: No! [laughing] Not that, no, the other thing. I know it's just dangling off the tip of your tongue, let me hear it just once, please?
Lois Lane: Superman will never-
Lex Luthor: WROOOONNG!!!
[Lex shows Lois a piece of Kryptonite]
Lois Lane: What is that?
Lex Luthor: I think you know exactly what this is. Mind over muscle, Miss Lane. Mind over... [noticing Jason's looking at the Kryptonite] Who is that boy's father?
Lois Lane: [swallowing] Richard.
[Luthor is about to speak when his henchman calls through the radio]
Thug: Mr. Luthor, we're reaching the coordinates.
Lex Luthor: [looking at Lois] Are you sure?
Thug: [through the radio] Yes, sir.
