"Step into your office." "Where'd this come from?" "Oh, somebody brought it in." "We bought it cheap." "Ok." "This time you have both gone too far." "You can print your rag without lois Lane." "And you certainly have no right to this." "Lois, i'm sorry." "Oh, let her go, darling." "I mean, she's useless." "And while you're at it, fire that Clark Kent." "He hasn't been around or even telephoned." "I know." "I'm worried." "Oh, kitten," "Didn't we have our little talk" "About personal involvement" "With the help?" "Now that you're the publisher" "Daddy... yes, darling?" "Stuff it!" "Lois?" "Lois, i'm sorry." "I promise you i had nothing to do with that." "Have you heard from Clark?" "No." "[Knock On Door]" "Just a minute." "Oh, lois." "What are you doing here?" "I knew it." "Oh, i've just," "Uh...just got a really bad flu." "What do you mean you knew it?" "How'd you know?" "You haven't been to work." "You haven't called the office." "You haven't even calledmeback." "How could you not callmeback?" "Whatever it is," "I guess you've got your reasons," "But i knew you were here, you know?" "Somehow... somehow something pulled me here." "I always know when superman's in trouble." "Ha ha!" "Superman?" "Something's happened to him?" "Everybody's saying he's dead, but... it can't be true." "I just know it." "I feel it in my heart." "I think he just needs help." "Well, wherever he is, lois, i'm sure he'll manage." "Well, if he can't... manage... and he really is..." "in trouble," "Then there's, uh... there's a few things i'd like to tell him." "I'd tell him... that i will always cherish the time" "We spent together," "And i never expected anything in return" "And no matter how few minutes i saw him for," "It always made me happy." "And i would tell him..." "that i love him," "And that i'll always love him," "And that...whatever... happens to the world, i... i know that... that he's doing his best to make sure" "That it'll be all right for the rest of us." "Well, wherever he is, lois," "I know that... he would want to thank you." "Listen, i'm, um... i'm pretty tired, you know," "So i think i'll just rest here" "For a while, ok?" "I'll be fine." "It's ok." "Please?" "Well, i hope you feel better, Clark." "Thanks." "[Sniffling]" "Um... if...if you do see him," "Um...or--Or--Or hear from him," "He might need this." "Oh, lex, we're all very pleased" "At all the nuclear missiles and arms you've helped us sell," "And, uh, we've decided to increase your commission." "Oh, guys, really, that's great." "It's the least we could do." "Well, i have another idea." "Gentlemen, i've decided" "To assume control of the company." "My first official act is to say, "you're fired!"" "You're mad." "Oh, really?" "Look at this." "If you want a reference for work," "Forget it!" "That was a good bit." "You know, with my brains" "And your..." "frankly, your brawn," "The possibilities are absolutely staggering." "I could be president, emperor, king." "Did you see how scared those guys were?" "And what do you fear?" "What?" "Now?" "With superman dead, and you're on my team?" "It's like i'm the coach," "And you're the best power forward ever." "What's to fear?" "All that remains of krypton's energy" "Is yours." "After it is gone," "You will belong solely to your new home." "If our dying planet can save your life, my son," "We have not died in vain." "[Rumbling]" "Rrraaarr!" "[Horns Honking]" "Where is the woman?" "You'll never find her." "If you will not tell me, i will hurt people." "Rooaarr!" "Yaaaah!" "Rooaarr!" "Stop!" "Don't do it!" "The people!" "[Sirens]" "Aah!" "Yaaahh!" "Ohhh!" "Easy, now, easy." "Slow, slow, slow." "Stop!" "That's enough!" "That's enough." "You win." "I'll take you to her." "Raaarrgh!" "Yaahh!" "Rooaarr!" "Where is she?" "Far away from here and safe." "Don't go in there." "She's not in there." "Ah...aahh... errr!" "Errrr!" "Raarrr!" "Grrrrr!" "Aah!" "Uugh!" "Aah!" "Aaaahhh!" "Aaarrrrgh!" "Rrrarrrr!" "We've got to tone down these headlines." "Tone down our headlines?" "Lacy, that's all the common man reads." "We could do with less sensationalism." "Less sensational papers go broke." "I taught you long ago" "That the business of newspapers is business." "No, daddy." "Our business is journalism." "We can't be so irresponsible." "Otherwise," "We'll lead everyone into a disaster." "Don't be overdramatic." "What kind of disaster" "Could we possibly bring about?" "Raaaarr!" "Lacy!" "Aaahh... oh!" "[Alarm]" "What's going on?" "[Applause]" "Are you sure you know" "What you're doing, mr." "White?" "Well... uh...ahem." "Here comes mr." "Warfield." "You'd better have an explanation, white," "Or you'll talk to your lawyers from jail." "You know, i'm not a tycoon." "I'm just an old reporter," "But i've read enough in my own newspaper" "About hostile takeovers of big companies," "And you, mr." "Warfield," "Must have been asleep at the wheel," "Because i convinced the bankers of this city" "That our daily planet should be treated" "Like a natural resource, protected from predators," "So i convinced them to lend me the money." "I bought up the outstanding shares," "And you, mr." "Warfield, are now a minority shareholder." "Everyone back to work." "Way to go, chief!" "Ha ha ha ha ha!" "Yay!" "I'm sorry." "You win some, you lose some." "Now, this is what i call a newspaper." "Compliments of the daily planet." "Have a nice day!" "We did it!" "We're back!" "Hi, everybody." "Am i late?" "Hey, mr." "Kent." "No, he's not here yet." "It must have been an effort for you" "To drag yourself out of bed this morning." "I'm feeling better." "Had a visit from a good nurse." "It must have been some pretty good medicine," "Because miss Lane said you were really ill." "Jimmy, sometimes all you need" "Is some loving attention" "From the right person." "Glad you're back, Clark... and remember... iam covering superman's press conference." "You just tape crowd reactions." "Reactions, ok." "Oh, dear." "Guess i'll need a tape recorder." "Be right back." "Clark." "Same old mr." "Kent." "He'll never change." "I hope not." "Whoo!" "[Applause]" "Hi, superman." "Lois, good to see you again." "Good to see you, too." "Morning, gentlemen." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "We've survived the threat of war" "And found a fragile peace." "I thought i could give you freedom from war." "I was wrong." "It's not mine to give." "We're still a young planet." "There are galaxies out there," "Other civilizations for us to meet," "To learn from." "What a brilliant future we could have." "And there will be peace" "When the world's people want it so badly" "That their governments will have to give it to them." "I wish you could see the earth as i do." "When you really see it, it's just one world." "Think he'll find us?" "Never." "We'll lay low for a while," "Couple of years." "I'll come up with a new plan." "Whoa." "Good thing i brought my drums." "[Horn Honks]" "Oh, no!" "Uncle lex, you won't believe this," "But it's..." "Superman." "Superman." "Oh, wow!" "Oh, wow!" "Hey, this rocks!" "Hey!" "Morning, father." "Lenny's been under a bad influence." "Think you can help him?" "Every boy can be helped." "I think you're right." "Good luck, son." "Come with me, my friend." "Do you have a drum set?" "Hey!" "Mozart's back!" "[Whistling Eine Kleine Nachtmusik]" "Dwayne, mozart's back!" "I see him, bubba!" "[Whistling]" "Shut up!" "[Laughter]" "Marshal, take him away." "Thank you kindly, superman." "Come on, luthor." "One thing-- How'd you beat him?" "High school physics." "I figured that if your creature" "Was born from the sun," "That was his energy source." "Will the world be vaporized?" "No, luthor." "As always, it's on the brink," "With good fighting evil." "See you in 20."
