Martha Kent and Lex Luthor in “Unfinished Business”

Martha Kent

My son is in jail. And your wife put him there.

Lex Luthor

Maybe these fires were a cry for help.

Martha Kent

Is that you talking, or is Mrs. Luthor talking through you?

Lex Luthor

Mrs. Kent, I would never ask you to take sides against your husband, please don't ask me to doubt my wife.

Martha Kent

Any good relationship relies on trust, but there has to be room to disagree. Like the way Jonathan and I disagreed about you. He couldn't see past the Luthor name, but I always thought you were truly trying to be a friend to Clark. Now I'm beginning to think Jonathan was right all along.
