...and unlock the secrets of the universe.
1:36:06
Lex, what has chewing gum got to do
with the secrets of the universe?
1:36:12
Right, Miss Teschmacher.
1:36:17
"N".
1:36:19
"M"? You want "M", Mr. Luthor?
Coming right up.
1:36:23
So there you go, "M".
1:36:25
"M" as in "moron", Otis? No.
1:36:27
It's "N" as in "Neanderthal"...
1:36:29
..."nincompoop", "nitwit",
and "L" as in "ladder".
1:36:32
Here's a ladder, coming right up.
1:36:34
I didn't see...
1:36:36
I'm sorry, Mr. Luthor.
1:36:39
In the interview he says
that the Planet Krypton...
1:36:44
...exploded in 1948.
1:36:47
That ridiculous little freak...
1:36:49
...took three years in a rocket
to get to earth.
1:36:52
- Ergo...
- Ergo.
1:36:54
Ergo 1948, that's three years on.
1:36:57
He's 6'4", you know that?
1:36:59
Do you know why the number 200 is
so vitally descriptive to both you and me?
1:37:04
It's your weight and my I.Q.
1:37:06
Think, people, think.
1:37:08
Deductive reasoning.
That's the name of the game.
1:37:13
Fragments from the Planet Krypton...
1:37:15
...exploded and went into outer space.
1:37:18
It is reasonable to assume...
1:37:19
...that some of those particles of debris
drifted to Earth.
1:37:25
Meteorites!
1:37:27
Jawohl.
1:37:29
Voilá!
1:37:36
Voilá!
1:37:41
A meteorite found in Addis Ababa?
1:37:45
I know I'll get rapped
in the mouth for this, but...
1:37:47
...so what?
1:37:49
So what? You mean to us
they're just meteorites.
1:37:52
Fair enough.
1:37:54
But the level of specific radioactivity...
1:37:57
...is so high to anyone
from the Planet Krypton...
1:37:59
...this substance is lethal.
