I can't fill in any blanks, but for some reason, I'm thinking this is a Lex speech. Early first season, he's talking to someone at the end (turns out to be a dog, I think)... about how he's disappointed that he had to take things in his own hands but such is life... RFAS?
Btw, have I mentioned that I really don't want to win these things?
If the above rings a bell for anyone, please go for it
