I couldn't edit the last post to append this one to it, so here it is:
(From Season Two, "Accelerate"🙂
(Lionel and Lex in hospital hallway.)
Lex- "I heard you were here. I wanted to make sure you were ok."
Lionel- "I came to visit a former employee. He's just been admitted. Unfortunatly, he's still unconscious."
Lex- "He must have been an exceptional worker to merit a visit from the CEO."
Lionel- "I like to think that I treat everyone at LuthorCorp as part of the family."
Lex (Calmly)- "Oh, that would explain their lack of loyalty."
(A few seconds later. It's ironic only if you think about them talking about Lex's "gluttony" epidemic.)
Lex- "I'm just wondering why your spending so much time in Smallville lately, that's all."
Lionel- "You may not believe me, I'm sure you won't... ...but I've always tried to be a good father to you, son. I worry about you. Son, these obsessive, paranoid tendencies... The danger with indulging them is that you lose perspective. And you turn your back on what truely matters."
Lex (Grinning, probably thinking of the Almareto Truffle cake.)
