James: Ms. Luthor, um, you approved an advertorial on page six. Lena: Is there a question coming? James: Well, I [CLEARS THROAT] I just wish you would have told me first.
Lena: I didn't know ads were in your purview, Mr. Olsen.
James: Well, they're they're not in my purview. It's it's not a big deal, it's just that if we're gonna disguise ads as articles I think that it sends a bad message. People wanna know what they're getting, you know? They expect integrity from us. Just a perception thing.
Lena: 70%.
James:Excuse me?
Lena: That's the deep discount on our print subscription rate. 70%. That's what it takes just to get people to read. So I think an advertorial here and there is a necessary evil.
Kara: Everything okay?
Lena: Yeah.
James: Absolutely. [CLEARS THROAT]
Kara: Good. Uh, James, I just came in to check and see if Actually, I think you're gonna wanna turn up the TV. Lena: What is that scumbag doing in my hospital?
[MORGAN ON TV] It was a nightmare. And we would've given anything for it to end, am I right? Then the Daxamites, the ships just up and left. You know why they left? It was a lead-dispersal bomb that drove 'em away. I have a colleague whose son was sick. Brought him here. There were other children in this hospital with the same symptoms. The doctors told me that there were other children in still other hospitals all displaying the same symptoms. Lead poisoning. You know, it's fitting that we're here, in this hospital. Lena Luthor built the bomb that poisoned these boys and girls.
[REPORTER] Do you have any proof?
[REPORTERS CLAMORING] I've gotta get down there.
[MORGAN] Keep it down. Please respect the children. Let's take it outside, I'll answer your questions.
