Superman II Page #3

of nature's most awesome spectacles...

...and you're thinking about food.

Aren't you impressed?

Once a girl's seen Superman in action,

Niagara Falls kind of leaves you cold.

- You know what I mean?

- Him again?

I'm sorry.

I have a one-track mind, don't I?

My one track mind's

telling me that I'm hungry.

- Hot dog?

- Hot dog.

- Could I have some orange juice?

- Freshly squeezed, I know.

Mom, look!

Yeah, honey, that's nice.

Oh, my God!

Help!

Somebody help!

Way to go, Superman!

What a nice man!

- There you go.

- Again! Again!

I'm sorry. Only one ride to a customer.

Superman! Superman, it's me, Lois!

Come here. You're going to get it!

Give me a heart attack...

It's me. It's Lois. Lois Lane.

Hello and goodbye.

What's the hurry, seeing as you

happen to be in Niagara Falls?

Happen to be in Niagara Falls...

And, Clark...

Clark is not around as usual.

Lois?

- Here you go.

- Where were you?

I was getting hot dogs.

What do you mean?

It just seems kind of strange to me

that every time Superman's around, you...

...disappear.

Superman? You mean he was here?

Golly!

And you weren't. As usual.

- What have you got to say about that?

- Darn, I forgot your orange juice.

Clark!

No orange juice?

- Mush! Mush!

- I am mushing.

Ice and snow:

Is this your idea of a good time?

A good time? Is that all you care about?

North, Miss Teschmacher.

North!

Yes, Lex, north.

Look. It's his home.

It's Superman's home.

Good, more ice.

- Fantastic!

- Fantastic.

It's fantastic!

The construction goes far beyond

any known architectural theory.

- It's beautiful.

- Beautiful.

- This place is genius!

- Genius.

- Lex!

- I'll be all right.

No, me.

Why can't you be more careful?

- This is beautiful.

- Beautiful.

- It has everything.

- Wrong.

- Why didn't you go before we left?

- That was two days ago.

This looks like some kind of control panel.

- Don't touch anything.

- Don't touch anything.

- Ice.

- I said don't touch it.

- It's not ice.

- It looks like a crystal.

Kryptonian memory bank,

education crystal #308.

- I told you it was a crystal.

- Shut up!

Earth culture, Section B.

"Trees" by Joyce Kilmer,

of the Planet Earth.

What?

"I think that I shall never see

a poem lovely as a tree...

He's not here. It's a voice from the past.

That's cute. That's very cute.

"...a tree that looks at God all day"...

I like trees!

So does your average cocker spaniel.

Give me another one.

No. The big one there.

Kal-El, my son...

... as the Keeper

of the Archives of Krypton...

... it falls to me to tell you of the darkest

episode in our planet's history.

Now this I want to hear.

After many eons of harmony, there

appeared among us three rebel elements...

... what you would call on Earth,

"criminals."

Criminals? My kind of people.

Despite all our efforts, we were unable to

change their evil natures, their evil ways.

As you know, we hath no death penalty.

Sensible enough.

Therefore, our scientists constructed...

..."The Phantom Zone".

In it, we placed

these three arch-criminals...

... imprisoning them there for all eternity.

No possibility for parole?

Your father, Jor-El,

thought long and hard upon that question.

I asked the right question.

There is one danger.

The Phantom Zone might...

... just might, be cracked

by a nuclear explosion in space.

I wish you hadn't asked me that...

I didn't ask anything.

We do not know

what would happen if they were to escape.

On Krypton,

these villains were uncontrollable.

On Earth, they would have the same

powers, each one of them...

... that you have.

Think of it.

- The first of the three...

- Three.

...is their leader, General Zod.

- Count them, three super-villains.

- Together with Non and Ursa...

- Each one with the same power he has.

Each one totally dedicated to corruption,

violence, and evil.

Wait. That explains the three Alpha Waves

I've been getting on my black box.

They'll need a contact here on Earth.

Someone with the same contempt for life,

liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

South, Miss Teschmacher!

You know, it's really amazing.

I never started to put it together

before now. It's just kind of funny...

...because a good reporter

can't let anything slip by her.

- Of course not.

- I'm beginning to get the picture.

As usual, Lois, I really don't know

what you're talking about.

Tell you what,

I'll meet you back at the hotel.

What's your hurry, Superman?

Sorry?

I've got to admit, your disguise is

nearly perfect. You had me fooled.

And I am nobody's fool, believe me.

No, of course not.

You just have an active imagination.

You get carried away sometimes.

- I understand. It can happen to anybody.

- Listen...

...I'm so sure that you're Superman

that I'm willing to bet my life on it.

What?

If I'm right, you'll turn into Superman.

If I'm wrong...

...you've got yourself one hell of a story.

You think I'm Superman?

Boy, you certainly have some imagination.

For a minute, you almost

had me convinced. For a minute.

Bye-bye, baby.

Oh, my god!

Excuse me, please.

Help!

Superman!

Lois, swim!

Help!

Look out for the rocks! Oh, God!

Clark!

- Grab that branch!

- What?

Help!

Lois, you all right?

Here!

- You were what I thought was Superman?

- Sorry.

This is really embarrassing.

So this is planet Houston?

A very strange surface.

A primitive sort of life form.

Did you see that?

Did you see what I did?

I have powers beyond reason here.

We all have them, my dear.

I must've looked like an idiot...

...jumping in the river,

waiting for Mr. Wonderful...

...who obviously had better things to do.

I'm sure it must've been

something very important, Lois.

And then thinking you were...

If Perry White could see me now...

Where's my comb?

God, not only have I lost my mind,

I lost my comb.

Can you pass me that brush over there?

Sure.

- No. It's okay.

- Let me see your hand. Give it to me.

- No. It's all right, Lois.

- Let me look at it.

- You are Superman.

- Come on, don't be silly.

I'm sorry.

No, you don't have anything

to be sorry about.

I don't know why I did that.

Maybe you wanted to.

I don't think I did.

Maybe you didn't want to with your mind,

but maybe you wanted to with your heart.

We'd better talk.

I'm in love with you.

We really better talk.

I'm listening.

We can't talk here. Perry will call

at about 6:
00 to find out what's happening.

"What's happening"?

That's the understatement of the year.

Where do you want to... talk?

Lois...

...now that you know,

I think you should know it all.

I want to.

Let's go to my place.

Maybe I should change first.

Maybe you should, too.

- They have a wide selection.

- I can't eat fish.

You can eat anything you want, Duane.

You can eat meat and potatoes.

I couldn't go anywhere

where I was expected to eat fish.

They got beans.

I can't eat beans.

I come out in a rash if I eat beans.

Look, Duane, they have a wide selection.

I think I'll try the fish.
