Recruit (2005)

Michael Rosenbaum: Lex Luthor

Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : I take it you've contemplated my job offer.

  Jason Teague : It wasn't a hard decision to make

  Lex Luthor : I forgot to mention a company car is included as well as a generous expense account.

  Jason Teague : I'm not gonna work for somebody whose mission it is to break me and my girlfriend up.

  Lex Luthor : Jason, my only concern is Lana's welfare. But you're not the threat I'm worried about. It's your mother. Did you ever find it strange that every summer as a child, she took you on treks to the far reaches of the globe? Destinations where there wasn't even running water.

  Jason Teague : My mother likes to travel. She always has.

  Lex Luthor : Those weren't vacations, Jason. They were research trips. Investigating a woman who was burned at the stake four hundred years ago.

  Jason Teague : Margaret Isobel Thoreaux.

  Lex Luthor : A countess whose spirit possessed your girlfriend. And the fact that it happened soon after you and your mother came into Lana's life, well, that bothers me. That bothers me a lot.

  Jason Teague : I had nothing to do with that. I would never put Lana in jeopardy.

  Lex Luthor : And I believe you. Or I wouldn't offer you this job.

  Jason Teague : What exactly is it that you want me to do?

  Lex Luthor : I have deep pockets, Jason. Vast resources, but the one thing I don't have is access. Two women in your life are somehow intimately connected to Margaret Isobel Thoreaux. I want you to find out everything they know.

  Jason Teague : So, what, you want me to spy on them?

  Lex Luthor : How you get the information is up to you. Now, I need an answer.
