HI, EVERYBODY.
HAS ANYBODY SEEN LOIS?
:23:06
NO, BUT THE CHIEF
WANTS TO SEE YOU.
:23:09
YOU'RE BLOCKING
THE SET, CLARK.
:23:10
OOPS, SORRY, GIL.
:23:12
HOW'S JUDY TODAY? OK?
:23:14
GOOD.
:23:15
EXCUSE ME.
MR. WHITE?
:23:17
HAVE YOU SEEN
LOIS ANYWHERE TODAY?
:23:20
SHE'S OUT WEST LOOKING INTO
A LAND FRAUD DEAL.
:23:23
SENT YOUNG OLSEN WITH HER
ON HIS FIRST ASSIGNMENT.
:23:27
SOME UNIDENTIFIED CLOWN
IS BUYING
:23:29
ACRES OF WORTHLESS DESERT
AT INCREDIBLE PRICES.
:23:31
THAT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE.
:23:33
THE WORLD
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
:23:34
LOOK AT THIS DISPATCH
FROM ADDIS ABABA.
:23:37
PEOPLE BREAK INTO A MUSEUM,
KILL 2 PEOPLE,
:23:40
AND TAKE A WORTHLESS
PIECE OF METEORITE.
:23:43
HOW DO YOU
FIGURE THAT?
:23:45
I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND
:23:47
VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM.
:23:49
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.
:23:53
I'VE BEEN IN THIS NEWS GAME
40 YEARS, MAN AND BOY.
:23:57
I GOT WHERE I AM WITH GUTS,
COMPASSION, ELBOW GREASE,
:24:00
AND SOMETHING YOU'RE
SADLY LACKING IN, SON.
:24:04
HUMILITY?
:24:05
NO, NOT HUMILITY.
YOU'VE GOT BAGS OF HUMILITY.
:24:08
AGGRESSION, CONFIDENCE,
THAT'S THE TICKET.
:24:10
TAKE CHARGE!
LET PEOPLE KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
:24:12
[HIGH-PITCHED SOUND]
:24:18
[WOOF! WOOF!]
:24:20
THIS IS LEX LUTHOR.
:24:22
YOU'RE THE ONLY THING
WITH LESS THAN 4 LEGS
:24:25
THAT CAN HEAR
THIS FREQUENCY, SUPERMAN.
:24:27
IN APPROXIMATELY
5 MINUTES,
:24:29
A POISON GAS PELLET CONTAINING
PROPANE LITHIUM COMPOUND
:24:32
WILL BE RELEASED THROUGH
AIR DUCTS IN THE CITY,
:24:36
EFFECTIVELY ANNIHILATING
HALF OF METROPOLIS' POPULATION.
:24:39
I WAS A REPORTER BEFORE
MY FRIENDS WERE COPY BOYS.
:24:42
HAVE LOIS INTRODUCE YOU
TO SUPERMAN.
:24:45
FIND OUT WHO HE IS,
WHAT'S HE LIKE.
:24:47
WHERE'D HE GET
THAT BLUE SUIT?
:24:48
DID HE HAVE IT MADE?
:24:50
IS IT SILK?
IS IT PLASTIC?
:24:52
Luthor: I KNOW IT ALL SEEMS
A BIT MUCH,
:24:55
BUT HOW ELSE
WAS I GOING TO MEET YOU?
:24:58
I KNEW YOU'D NEVER ACCEPT
AN INVITATION TO TEA.
