JOR-EL

I ask you now to pronounce

your judgement on those accused...

9CLOSE ON NON

The monstrous face of NON peers through the light at JOR-EL. A man only to the extent that he is not an animal - a force of frightening destruction whose only sounds are terrifying guttural roars.

JOR-EL'S VOICE

On this mindless aberration whose

only means of expression are

wanton violence and destruction....

NON lunges at JOR-EL with a roar, bounces back off the edge of the ring of light, which imprisons him.

CAMERA PANS TO URSA: A tall woman with a strikingly beautiful and cruel face. Consumed by a total hatred. Consumed by a total hatred of the male sex, she stares back at JOR-EL with patronizing contempt.

JOR-EL'S VOICE

On the woman, URSA, whose perversions

and unreasoning hatred of men have

finally threatened even the male

children on our planet....

CAMERA PANS TO GENERAL ZOD: Glaring defiantly at JOR-El through the dazzling

light with a staggeringly vicious face. Even trapped in the prison of light he seems to

generate an evil force of his own.

REVISION 21/3/77

9CONTINUED

JOR-EL'S VOICE

And finally on General Zod -

Once trusted by this Council, charged

with maintaining the defenses of the

planet Krypton itself - the chief architect

of this intended revolution, the author of this

insidious plot to establish a new order among

Us - with himself as absolute ruler.

10WIDE ANGLE - TRIAL CHAMBER

The huge faces of the COUNCIL OF ELDERS peer down from the domed ceiling as JOR-EL finishes.

JOR-EL

You have listened to the evidence.

The decision of the Council will

now be heard.
