Luthor-in-Flash: If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity. (unmasks) I have no idea who this is.
 
Flash-in-Lex: Me, the Flash? You’ve, like, totally lost it, Grodd. I'm Lex Luthor!

Mr. Terrific: (about Luthor-in-Flash) Dr. Fate, your patient just anesthetized himself.
 
Green Lantern: It sounds like Wally. But is there any way to be sure.

You want proof? Until he went off into the Marines, GL’s nickname was…
Green Lantern: Stop! It’s him. You promised never to repeat that story.
Flash: I know – I was just messing with your head.
 
Mr. Terrific: Can you tell us anything about Grodd’s secret society? Where’s their headquarters?
Flash: I don’t know. In a swamp...
 
Tala: Lex, is that really you?

Tala: (disappointed) Ooh...

Episode References
 
"Dead Reckoning"

Grodd: It must pain you to see me like this, after what we’ve been to one another.
Tala: My taste in boyfriends has evolved.

    Tala was momentarily devoted to Grodd after him rescuing her from his mirror entrapment. However, when Luthor took control of operations, Tala placed her loyalties on him.
Sinestro: (to Lex) After Grodd tried to turn the world into apes, you can imagine how seriously we take something like that.
 
"Secret Society (1)"

Mr. Terrific: We need to find this new Secret Society and take the fight to them.

The first Secret Society was the first group of Supervillains brought together by Gorilla Grodd with the sole purpose of bringing the Justice League down. Its member included Grodd, as the leader, Giganta, Sinestro, Parasite, The Shade, Killer Frost and Clayface.
 
"The Brave and the Bold (1)"

Mr. Terrific: When Grodd took control of your mind a couple of years ago, even though that connection was broken, he left a psychic residence.
 
"To Another Shore"

The Flash: This really seems like it’s more of J’onn’s alley.
Green Lantern: J’onn’s not here.

J’onn left the League to mingle within humanity.
 
"The Brave and the Bold (2)"

Grodd: (to Flash-in-Lex) True, I do hate Luthor. But I hate you just as much.

Grodd hatred towards the Flash is due to him (the Flash) foiling his plans and shortcircuiting his brain.
