Michael: Thanks for all the

Lex who?
Lois has been a bit too obvious in her drooling?
LOIS: <Slurp> Huh?
The surprise casserole comes from the stuff left over on LexLunch trucks?
That's only M-F, Sat and Sun, they avoid the "mystery meat" casserole, because that's where all the bodies disappear into.
The Luthor House for Homeless Children? Otherwise known as Juvie?
LEX: <shrugs> Sometime we outsource for the govn't.
“I don’t want to donate a kidney”?

Oh, so solitary is another name for "recovery"?
Huh. Good question. Jack or a dog under the table?
Deep pockets.
"Come and work for LexCorp, Harbor District. Work hard, and eat good. Get shot during the robbery and get a cold grave.”
Hey, you wouldn’t boink him so he had to make due in the meantime.
LOIS: I still don't want an exclusive THAT badly.
Well, Lex did need a new place to test his drugs.
LEX: Well, yes... I mean, I have no comment to make on those completely ungrounding accusations!
Very odd. Has Mrs. Cox overheard that bit and made sure they cleaned up?
Yes, indeed. Was Denny wrong? Or was he right?
She was open for business in college?
Those school loans had to be paid off somehow.
Less lights, more big red round balls.
So, a Christmas bauble with a naked stripper inside from each conference he went to?
No, this is a good Christmas memory.
That's the one.
He likes them just fine. Their tiny fingers are great for stuffing gun powder inside brass, picking pockets on full commuter trains, and they go really well with garlic and mustard.
No, no. That was his father Luthor and his great-grandfather Luthor's mentality. Luthor prefers his as labrats.
I thought that was how he always worked?
You thought he always bribed? Or used the reward system? <<Pst. These are children and shouldn't be held to the same standard as adult flunkies>>
Plus, that way they can learn how to properly use a shiv before they land in prison the first time.
Exactly!
Yes, but one of them killed his parents when they didn’t get him the candy he wanted fast enough. And the other one watched them burn.
Sounds about right.
Not even a pearl necklace?

There were green crystals too, though.
That way, Clark will never warm to his mother in law.
As if he ever does anyway.
Another Lex was much less tacky with a Kryptonite studded wedding band.
LEX: First, she has to date me again.
“I saw Mommy kissing Santa tonight”?
"I saw Mommy fighting off Santa Clause, underneath the mistletoe last night..."
That’s what her new steel-capped knee-protectors are for that Clark got her for Christmas.
Maybe if she had thrown up all over Lex?
It's never good to throw up in a crowd of people; it ends up being contageous.
