“Hey, I’ve been thinking. Do you think we could visit Luthor? It would be nice to meet my stepson, right?”

“Lillian, dear, he’s simply not worth our time. He had no interest in being the Bigbucks heir, even when he was my son. I don’t have much time left, anyway. Why waste it on someone who only causes disappointment?”

“But…”

“Please, dear, he’s not worth it.”

“I still don’t see the harm… Why don’t we flip through the phonebook and at least invite him to see the twins?”

“Absolutely not! This conversation is over!”

“Okay, then. Forget I asked.”

“Lilly, darling. I believe we both know I’m getting old and running out of time.”

“Daddy, don’t say that.”

“But I must, and therefore I have one last request.”

“What’s that?”

“Since Luther wants little to nothing to do with us or our family, I humbly ask of you to bear me a son.”
