Ari Cohen: Regan Matthews

Quotes 

• Regan Matthews : You actually believe you can declare Lex dead and not end up dead yourself?

  Tess Mercer : You're a pretty pathetic guard dog. Loyal to a master that can't even feed himself. Why don't you come and work for me? Hm? I'll give you more milk bones than Lex ever did.

  Regan Matthews : I think I'd rather shovel cow dung.

• Tess Mercer : The cloak-and-dagger existence suits you well, Regan. So how's the new career? Breaking and entering? Did you find what you were looking for in Lana Lang's apartment?

  Regan Matthews : Still looking, just like you. Only I'm trying to find the technology to keep Lex alive, not to destroy it.

  Tess Mercer : The world already believes he's dead. I'm just trying to make a fantasy a reality.

• Tess Mercer : It's a ballsy move, sitting in the boss' chair. Either you have good news for me or you like to live dangerously close to the edge.

  [turning the chair around, she sees her security chief with a bullet hole in his head] 

  Tess Mercer : I guess it's the latter.

  Regan Matthews : [loading the chamber of a revolver]  He did have good news for you. The address of the Prometheus lab. Unfortunately, he told me first.

  Tess Mercer : So working for Lex gives you carte blanche to kill innocent people?

  Regan Matthews : [amused]  Innocent? He worked for you, Tess.

  Tess Mercer : Give a mid-level bureaucrat a little bit of power, and it goes straight to his head.

• Tess Mercer : Once you find the Prometheus technology, I want you to bring it to me.

  Regan Matthews : I'm afraid that... you're gonna be waiting a long, long time.

  Tess Mercer : Find me the Prometheus technology. Or I'll have to take it... by force.
