Brainiac. You’re in there-- I can almost feel you. [to rock] Abasing myself before Grodd, then running this unwieldy super-gang—it’s all been worth it if I can just free the only piece of you that remains.
[gently] Lex... Don’t talk to the rock.
Stay out of this, witch. It makes no sense. The smallest scrap of Brainiac should be sufficient to reconstitute him.
Don’t worry, darling. I’m sure it...
Unless Grodd is somehow preventing it.
What do you want, Luthor?
How do I unlock the Brainiac code?
You’re a genius; figure it out.
Tell me, you leering, manipulative knuckle-dragger, or I'll...
Lex, Lex... you can’t expect me to give up my only bargaining chip. What’s in it for me?
[enraged] When this is over, I’m going to sell your body for dogmeat!
It must pain you to see me like this, after what we’ve been to one another.
My taste in boyfriends has evolved. Wait, Lex! You’re the leader now. You don’t need to lock horns with him.
Don’t bore me with politics. The only thing that matters now is a speck of information locked somewhere deep inside Grodd’s thick skull.
Yes, okay. So we break his head open and take it. Hey, watch it!
Luthor.
I don’t have time to chat, Dr. Polaris.
Well, make time. We don’t think you’ve got what it takes to run the show. You’ve been acting unbalanced, holed up in that lab, talking to yourself...
After Grodd tried to turn the world into apes, you can imagine how seriously we’d take something like that. What are you going to do, make everybody bald?
Maybe you’re not up to the job. Maybe it’s time for younger, smarter, more aggressive leadership.
Really.
Yeah. Why should any of us follow you?
Because I’ll show you how to make more money in one day than you’ve made in your entire lives.
