Peterson
- Lex Luthor: Ah, Professor, Mercy will see you safely home now, won't you my dear?
- Peterson: Please, no! I-I-I mean, I can see myself home, really!
- Lex Luthor: But I insist. Metropolis can be such a dangerous city, Peterson. I'd hate to wake up tomorrow and find out that something terrible had happened to you...
- Hanes: The other media samples were ordinary carbon-based elements. But this, its composition materials are not even on the periodic table.
- Peterson: We believe it originated in an alien solar system with properties totally divergent from our own.
- Lex Luthor: We'll need to test it out on Superman himself. See that it's in my office within the hour.
- Peterson: I don't think you realize what you have here.
- Lex Luthor: On the contrary, I know exactly what I have here: the very tool I need to completely control and humiliate Superman.
- Peterson: Ms. Lane, it's Peterson. Listen closely. Lex Labs is developing a synthetic version of the green rock. It's imperative I get this information to Superman immediately.
- Lois Lane: Yes, of course. Where should we meet?
- Peterson: The museum. Come in through the alley entrance.
- Lois Lane: But the security system...
- Peterson: I designed the security system, Ms. Lane. I know how to bypass it. The door will be open between 9:05 and 9:06. Make sure you're not followed.
- Lex Luthor: [he hangs up] Very convincing. You're certain he's there?
- Mercy Graves: Our men saw him go in two minutes after the Lane woman.
- Lex Luthor: Excellent. Superman will now insist on accompanying her to the museum.
