Alexis (Michael William Rosenbaum) is in a dark room, working with a mysterious, bluish-reddish-glowing metal. His look is grave, the look of an isolated man. Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar) approaches tentatively, somewhat tremulously.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): (with deep, anxious concern) Lex, are you okay?

Alexis Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): I'm okay, Eve, I'm okay. Just fine.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): Okay, Lex. (pause) Are you sure?

Alexis Luthor (Michael Willliam Rosenbaum): I'm sure, Eve. I'm working toward a new dawn. Toward the dawn of day.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): I feel sad for you spending so much time in the dark.

Alexis Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): It's my element. Don't worry about me.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): What's that metal you're working at?

Lex Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): I'm picking up where Marie Curie left off. It's radium.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): (pause) Marie Curie died of radiation poisoning, didn't she?

Lex Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): She died for science. One of its heroes.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): You don't have to be a hero for me, Lex.

Lex Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): I'm not a hero. Superman's a hero.

Eve Tessmacher (Gabrielle Anwar): I love YOU, Lex.

Lex Luthor (Michael William Rosenbaum): Love ya too, Eve.

Eve (Gabrielle Anwar) exits the room, tentatively, with still deep concern
