:42:02
I TOLD YOU
IT WAS A CRYSTAL.

EARTH CULTURE, SECTION B.
:42:07
TREES,BY JOYCE KILMER
OF THE PLANET EARTH.
:42:11
WHAT THE--
:42:13
I THINK
THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE
:42:16
A POEM LOVELY AS A TREE.
:42:18
HE'S NOT HERE.
:42:20
IT'S A VOICE
FROM THE PAST.
:42:22
THAT'S CUTE,
VERY CUTE.
:42:24
A TREE THAT LOOKS AT--
:42:27
I LIKE TREES.
:42:29
SO DO
COCKER SPANIELS.
:42:31
GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE.
:42:33
NO, NO.
THAT BIG ONE THERE.
:42:44
KAL-EL, MY SON,
:42:46
AS KEEPER
OF KRYPTON'S ARCHIVES,
:42:48
IT FALLS TO ME
TO TELL YOU
:42:50
THE DARKEST EPISODE
IN OUR PLANET'S HISTORY.
:42:53
NOW, THIS
I WANT TO HEAR.
:42:55
THERE APPEARED
3 REBEL ELEMENTS--
:42:58
WHAT YOU WOULD
CALL ON EARTH CRIMINALS.
:43:02
CRIMINALS?
MY KIND OF PEOPLE.
:43:04
WE WERE UNABLE TO CHANGE
THEIR EVIL NATURES.
:43:08
AS YOU KNOW,
WE HAD NO DEATH PENALTY.
:43:10
SENSIBLE ENOUGH.
:43:13
THEREFORE, OUR SCIENTISTS
CONSTRUCTED THE PHANTOM ZONE.
:43:16
IN IT WE PLACED
THESE 3 ARCH-CRIMINALS,
:43:20
IMPRISONING THEM THERE
FOR ALL ETERNITY.
:43:23
NO POSSIBILITY
FOR PAROLE?
:43:25
YOUR FATHER, JOR-EL,
:43:27
THOUGHT LONG AND HARD
UPON THAT QUESTION...
:43:29
I ASKED
THE RIGHT QUESTION.
:43:32
AND THERE IS ONE DANGER.
:43:34
THE PHANTOM ZONE
MIGHT BE CRACKED
:43:37
BY A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
IN SPACE.
:43:41
I WISH YOU HAD NOT
ASKED ME THAT.
:43:43
I DIDN'T ASK ANYTHING.
:43:45
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
:43:47
IF THEY WERE TO ESCAPE.
:43:49
ON KRYPTON, THESE VILLAINS
WERE UNCONTROLLABLE.
:43:52
ON EARTH, THEY WOULD HAVE
THE SAME POWERS,
:43:56
EACH ONE OF THEM,
THAT YOU HAVE.
:43:59
THINK OF IT.
