I've never been able
to understand violence.
1:45:06
I know that about you.
1:45:07
That's why I wanted to talk to you.
1:45:10
I've been in this news game
40 years man and boy...
1:45:14
...and I got where I am
with guts, compassion...
1:45:17
...elbow grease and something
you're sadly lacking in, son.
1:45:21
Humility?
1:45:22
Not humility, you've got bags of humility.
1:45:25
Aggression, confidence, that's the ticket.
1:45:27
Take charge.
Let people know who you are.
1:45:38
This is Lex Luthor.
1:45:40
Only one thing alive with less than
four legs can hear this frequency.
1:45:43
That's you.
1:45:45
In five minutes, a poisoned gas pellet
containing propane lithium compound...
1:45:50
... will be released through thousands
of air ducts in this city...
1:45:53
... effectively annihilating
half the population of Metropolis.
1:45:56
I was a reporter before most of my friends
were copy boys.
1:46:00
I want you to get Lois
to introduce you to Superman.
1:46:02
Find out who he is.
Where did he get that blue suit?
1:46:06
Did he have it made?
Is it silk? Is it plastic?
1:46:09
I know it all seems a bit much...
1:46:11
... but how else was I going to meet you,
Superman?
1:46:13
I knew you'd never accept
an invitation to tea.
1:46:18
But a disaster, with people in danger,
people who need help...
1:46:23
I just knew you couldn't resist
that chance to sort of pitch in.
1:46:28
You know what I mean?
