Superman Page #4
LARA:
Have you ... .finished?
JOR-EL
Very nearly.
LARA turns away, shuts her eyes. JOR-EL crosses to her.
JOR-EL
It's the only answer Lara. If he remains here
he as will die as surely as. . .
(she looks)
we will.
LARA:
(pleading)
But why earth, Jor-El. They're primitives.
JOR-EL
He will need that advantage to survive.
Their atmosphere will sustain him ...
LARA:
JOR-EL
He will look like one of them.
LARA:
But he won't be one of them.
JOR-EL
His dense molecular structure will make
him strong ...
18CONTINUED
JOR-EL
Fast. Virtually invulnerable ...
LARA:
Isolated. Alone ...
JOR-EL looks at her with compassion, but with the strength to cut her off..
JOR-EL
He will not be alone. He will never...
be alone.
19INT. COUNCIL OF ELDERS - NIGHT
The COUNCIL OF ELDERS, still in session, listen attentively to a MILITARY OFFICER standing before them.
MILITARY OFFICER
The energy input to Jor-El's quarters is
now in excess. Our Data indicates the
loss is due to a mis-use of energy.
The FIRST ELDER exchanges a worried glance at the SECOND ELDER, then looks back at the OFFICER.
FIRST ELDER:
Investigate.
SECOND ELDER:
And if the Data proves correct?
FIRST ELDER:
(pause)
He knew the penalty he faced. Even
as a member of this Council. The law
will be upheld.
20INT. JOR-EL'S LABORATORY - NIGHT
CAMERA CLOSE ON JOR-EL, LARA, and the BABY, their glowing auras spilling across the SCREEN as the parents stare down at their offspring. A loving, almost beatific family portrait. LARA'S eyes flutter. Tears run down her cheek.
REVISION 22/377
20CONTINUED
JOR-EL
(sad whisper)
You will travel far, my little Kal-El.
But I will never leave you. Even in
the face of my death the richness of my
life shall be yours. All that I have learned,
everything I feel, all of this and more I have
bequeathed to you my son. You shall carry me
inside you all your days. You will make my
strength your own, see my life through your eyes,
as your .life will be seen through mine. The son
becomes the father the father becomes the son. This
is all that I can send with you , Kal-El. And not
near so rich a gift as that your mother sends
along. Her ... love.
21 EXT. CITY - DAY/NIGHT
Three MILITARY MEN descend an enclosed glass walkway to a frantically pulsating aura hovering above the ground. They enter the aura, take off quickly through the streets, past a tall structure. A tremor suddenly shakes the ground - a thin fissure appears on the side of the structure.
22INT. JOR-EL' S LABORATORY - NICHT
