- I don't think I'd be right for this.

- Oh, you're perfect for it.

I mean, you're young, you're single,

you're successful.

I'm usually in bed by 10:30.

That's just it, see, you don't

have to flaunt it.

I mean, you're no slave to fashion.

Although...

...have you ever thought of contacts?

- They make my eyes itch.

Don't worry about it. I thought

we could do this together.

- Oh?

- I know all the right places.

I'm a member of all the right clubs.

We'll start tonight at the opening

of the Metro Club.

- Oh, tonight.

- Yeah, it's a date.

A date!

A date?

Well, it's just business, actually.

I've got a letter here for Superman,

care of me.

- What?

- Superman gets mail here?

It's probably a picture request.

I can take care of it.

I think it's more than just

a fan letter. You should read it.

"Dear Superman, my teacher spoke about

the president's speech on the arms race.

We're all very unhappy about it.

And I said we should get Superman

to rid the world of nuclear arms...

...because only he could do it.

Once you've destroyed all the nuclear

missiles, they'll see I'm right.

Superman can make sure we don't

blow ourselves up, quick and easy.

I know you'll come through.

Your friend, Jeremy."

Poor kid. Oh, well,

I better get back to work.

- No, there's an angle in this.

- An angle! He's just a kid!

Daddy loves whipping up campaigns.

Oh, boy, and the public loves it!

Lacy!

We'll make him a celebrity.

Everybody in the world is gonna be

wondering what Superman's reply is.

Welcome to Metropolis, Jeremy.

I'm Mr. Warfield and this is

my daughter, Lacy Warfield.

- Hi, Jeremy.

- Now come along and meet the press.

- Don't you trip.

- The car had a flat.

Sorry to hear that.

Turn around.

Let everybody get a picture of you.

- That's it, everyone.

- Here, Jeremy.

What a boy! Now come along...

...and tell the American public

what you told me.

I just said I wish Superman

would've said yes.

- Did you get that?

- No, we didn't.

Well, say it again. Loudly.

I just said I wish Superman

would've just said yes!

Miss Lane!

Miss Lane. Take a look at this.

Hot off the press.

Oh, my God!

This time he's gone too far.

Look, Clark. Look at that.

Can't wait to see

the chief's reaction.

I'm through taking it lying down.

Anybody wants me, I'll be downtown.

Chief look different to you?

He looks like my father when he went

to the bank to ask for a loan.

I'm gonna make sure he's all right.

There's nothing we can do about it.

It's Superman's decision now.

I'm sure he'll do the right thing.

May the elders watch over you...

... my son.

Their wisdom is all that is left

of a once powerful...
