Come back, Superman!

- Don't leave us!

- We can't handle it without you.

- It's not our fault.

- He chickened out.

Phony!

Superman didn't even do nothing!

Come on, let's go!

Get away from here!

Our victory is complete!

The son of Jor-El has fled.

Superman fled?

I don't believe you.

- The next time we will kill him!

- The next time?

The next time?

What am I going to do with you people?

I held up my end, I delivered the Blue Boy.

What do I get from my triple threat?

"Bow, yield, kneel," that kind of stuff

closes out a town.

Why do you say this to me

when you know I will kill you for it?

Kill me? Lex Luthor?

Extinguish the greatest

criminal flame of our age?

- Eradicate the only man on earth with...

- Kill him!

Superman's address?

Come!

The three of us will crush...

...the son of our jailer.

Why not increase his handicap?

Since he cares so much

for these Earth creatures...

...let us take his favorite.

Ever heard of parachutes?

Another small step for mankind.

Scruffy.

So morbid.

A sentimental replica

of a planet long since vanished.

- No style at all.

- I expect...

...better manners from my guests.

We must combine our strength.

Fools!

Take him!

We played this game at school.

Never was very good at it.

Superman, I knew that you'd...

Wrong again!

No, no!

Release the General...

...or we'll tear her apart.

Superman, no!

Superman, don't!

All right!

Did you really think

we would give up our advantage?

Now...

...the son of Jor-El will be my slave.

Forever.

If not,

the millions of earthlings you protect...

...will pay for your defiance.

Destroy this place.

- Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late.

- We have no more use for this one.

Kill him.

Me?

You came to me with nothing,

I gave you Superman.

Silence!

Well, look...

Watch it. Don't touch me!

Guy's a clod.

Promises were made, gifts exchanged.

I got to hand it to you.

You always told the truth.

A guy always knew

where he stood with you.

Try to get them all

into this molecule chamber.

It takes away their powers, see,

and turns them into ordinary...

...human beings. Now, if you could...

Don't go in there, it's a trap!

You poisonous snake!

That's a molecule chamber.

It makes people like you

into people like me.

You've done well.

The crystal there activates the mechanism.

Lex Luthor, ruler of Australia.

Activate the machine!

Thank you.

With your permission.

And now...

...finally.

Take my hand...

...and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.

He switched it!

He did it to them!

I mean the lights were on out here...

...while he was safe in there!

You know, something?

You're a real pain in the neck!

Are you all right?

I knew you'd double-cross me.

A lying, weasel like you couldn't resist.

Are you kidding?

I was with you all the time.

That was beautiful.

Did you see the way they fell into our trap?

Too late!

Look.

I got a proposition.

Don't stop me

until you've heard this because...

...I know I owe you one,

but we're in the north pole, right?

Let's wipe the slate clean.

If you give me a ride back,

I promise to turn over a new leaf...

It looks so beautiful from up here.

I guess I'll never get to fly with you again.

No. Anywhere you want to go.

You don't have to worry.

I'll never tell them who you really are.

I know.

See you later.

Hi.

How did you sleep?

No. I didn't close my eyes all night.

- Look...

- I understand.

I sat up all night listening to

the voices of reason.

You know how vile it is to hear

the first bird of the morning...

...when you've been crying all night?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I guess it's sort of like being

married to a doctor, you know.

The doctor's awakened at night...

...and the wife has to cope with the fact

that he's gone.

I guess I'm just too selfish.

No. You're not selfish at all.

I am selfish, when it comes to you.

I am selfish.

I'm jealous of the whole world.

It may not be easy for you

to hear this now, but someday you'll...

Don't tell me that I'll meet somebody.

You're kind of a tough act to follow,

you know?

I'm going to be fine,

you don't have to worry about me.

I like worrying about you.

Would you stop?

Don't you know that this is killing me?

Do you know what it's like

to have you come in here every morning...

...and not be able to talk to you?

Not be able to show

I have any feelings for you?

Not be able to tell anyone

that I know who you are.

I don't even know what to call you.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know. Say that you love me.

Gee, are you okay? What happened?

- You all right?

- I just got so dizzy.

That's what happens

when I don't have my orange juice.

- I'm fine.

- Breathe.

- I'm breathing, for heaven's sake.

- Good for you. Good.

- God.

- Just drink.

- Okay.

- Just sip it. Sip it. Sip it.

I'm fine.

What was I talking about before?

If I know you,

it was probably about Superman.

Him again?

You've got to stop being threatened

every time the guy's name's mentioned.

I mean, nobody expects you to be

anything but what you are.

I'll try to remember that.

You better remember that.

I appreciate you.

- You do?

- Sure.

Especially if you get me a hamburger.

A hamburger. At 9:00 a. M?

Yeah, and everything on it, okay?

Everything on it.

- And...

- Orange juice. Freshly squeezed.

Isn't he a nice guy?

Let's see what trouble I can get into today.

What's happening in the world?

Give me another plate of this garbage.

Garbage? That's my number one special!

All right!

Get me some more coffee too, will you?

Gee, that's funny.

I've never seen garbage eat garbage before.

Excuse me, sir.

I think you're sitting in my favorite seat.

Come and get it, four-eyes.

Now cool it!

Take it easy.

I just had this joint fixed.

It cost me a fortune.

God!

This order's to go.

I'm terribly sorry about all the damage, sir.

I've been...

...working out.

Good afternoon, Mr. President.

Sorry I've been away so long.

I won't let you down again.
