Superman II Page #2

Hi, Lois.

Hi, Clark.

Clark!

- Have you ever heard of crosswalks?

- Yeah, but you know, I mean...

Do you have any idea how stupid that was?

Freak!

Clark, you were lucky that time.

You must more careful. To cross

the street you've got to look both ways.

Lois, usually I do.

Maybe you ought to

get your glasses checked.

Not everybody can have

"x-ray vision," you know.

Do I detect a note of jealousy in that voice?

Jealousy? No, not me.

Golly Lois, what are you doing?

When was the last time

you heard me sneeze?

You are never going to

hear me sneeze again!

I read this book,

and it says if you get 1,000 milligrams...

...of vitamin C every day,

you stay in perfect health.

Golly, 1,000?

That's certainly a lot of oranges, isn't it?

- There are pills, you know. I've seen them.

- Pills. That's the modern way to do things.

This is natural.

Besides, I get my exercise that way.

And Clark, you don't have to be jealous.

I don't?

No, you've got so much going for you.

I do?

Do you mind if I give you

a little constructive criticism?

- Actually, yes.

- Be more aggressive! You have to...

...go from the instinct. You see something,

you want it, you go for it!

That's what I do.

Yes, I've noticed.

- Perhaps I could help you there.

- Thanks, that would be great.

Let's see.

You put the orange in there.

That's very clever.

Clark...

...you know that I wouldn't say

all those things if I didn't really care.

You do?

What else are friends for?

"Friends"?

Here.

Here's to friendship.

This is how it ends for

the greatest criminal mind of our time.

Not with a whimper. Not with a bang.

How do they choose

to reward Lex Luthor...

...the greatest genius in this world?

Do they give him glory or treasure?

What, matter of fact, do they give him?

Life plus 25, Luthor. Get to work.

Don't feel bad, Mr. Luthor.

It almost worked.

I mean, California almost

fell down right in the ocean.

Millions of people almost died.

If it hadn't been for Superman,

that overgrown Boy Scout...

I want my Liberace record back tonight.

What are you going to do

with a guy like that?

He flies around so fast and everything.

I mean they can't even trace

that guy on that radar they got.

Every time they try he just flies off.

- Where?

- North.

Why?

To ski?

Every man has his vulnerable point.

Some, like you Otis, have more than one.

I didn't see Superman's in time.

But now through patience,

invention, and skill...

...my little black box is just about ready.

Oh! That little black box in our cell.

That little black box, Mr. Luthor.

What's it for?

That little black box

goes beyond any conventional radar.

It tracks alpha waves.
