Synopsis:
Lex Luthor visits a small town diner 900 miles outside of Metropolis. He asks the waitress to come with him back to Metropolis. Jenny, the waitress, tells him that she is married. Luthor then proceeds to belittle her life and offers her a million dollars to spend one month with him.

Jenny is insulted, so Luthor waits outside for her decision. The other waitresses pressure Jenny into accepting Luthor's offer. She calls her husband, but hangs up before speaking to him. Before she can come to a final decision, Luthor leaves. He tells his assistant that he enjoys playing games with the lives of people and that his offer, like others in the past, will lead Jenny to a life of misery.
