Scene 9

(The Luthor Mansion.)

(Lex is playing pool. Lionel enters.)

Lionel- Lex! Long time, no see. Did you fire those workers yet?

Lex- I told you, I'm not firing my workers because you say so.

Lionel- Fine. If you don't fire them, I will.

Lex- If you didn't notice, only I have the power to fire workers from my division.

Lionel- Yes, but I also have clients in high place. I could even pull a few strings and get you fired.

Lex- You're testing my patience. You wouldn't dare define me. Betraying family isn't in your blood.

Lionel- People change, Lex. You should know that.

Lex- If you did you would be no better than the scum on my shoe.

Lionel- Now Lex, even you know that's no way to speak to your father.

Lex- You should also know that it is not good to be enemies with your son, 'dad'.

Lionel- Watch what you say son. I'm the only reason you are here!

Lex- You'd better watch your back.

Lionel- No son, I'm afraid that it is you that should be watching your back.

Lex- And what are you going to do about it?

Lionel- I'll do more than you could imagine. Actually that's the reason I'm here. I've come to tell you that you've been fired and replaced. I want you to remove your things from this mansion. You're relieved of your duties.

Lex- (looks surprised) You can't!

Lionel- I can and I did. Goodbye my son.

Lex- I'm fired?
