Superman Returns Page #2

when it comes to getting into trouble.

Mother?

Oh, yeah, well, I guess you've been gone.

Fearless reporter Lois Lane is a mommy.

Oh, you know, I'll just...

I'll take that. That's good.

- Sorry.

- No. She's got plenty.

- Wait, she's married?

- Yes.

No. Not really. It's more like

a prolonged engagement.

But don't ask Miss Lane

when they're tying the knot...

...because she hates that question.

- like this follow the same stringent

safety guidelines set by NASA?

Since this is a joint venture

with the Air Force...

You all right? You look like

you could use a drink.

This place is so tacky.

Why are we back here?

Kitty, while you were doing your nails

and ordering fur coats online...

...I was busy unlocking the secrets...

...of one of the most advanced

civilizations in the universe.

Weren't there two of those?

You see, unlike our clunky

earthbound forms of construction...

...the technology on Krypton,

Superman's home world...

...was based on manipulating

the growth of crystals.

Sounds like hocus-pocus to me.

Well, naturally, to the primitive mind,

any sufficiently advanced technology...

...would be indistinguishable from magic.

But imagine:
cities, vehicles, weapons...

...entire continents...

...all grown.

To think that one could create

a new world...

...with such a simple little object.

It's like a seed.

And all it needs is water.

Like...

...Sea-Monkeys.

Exactly, Kitty.

Like Sea-Monkeys.

Clark has been doing a little

soul-searching for the last couple years.

- He saw Ilamas.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Must be tough coming back.

- Coming back?

- To work.

Yeah.

Well, you know, things change.

I mean, of course things change...

...but sometimes things that you didn't

think would change could change.

Take Lois.

A woman like her,

I never thought she'd settle down.

You know, if you ask me...

Because she'll never tell you this...

...but if you ask me,

she's still in love with you-know-who.

The original space shuttle

generated 7.5 million pounds of thrust...

...just in the initial launch phase.

But, by piggybacking

on this Boeing 777... Yes?

If this launch is as pivotal as you claim...

...why is it being covered

by one news network?

Why don't we save those questions

for the post-launch briefing.

How about that, Miss Lane?

When we hit 40,000 feet,

the shuttle will detach, ascend...

...and then fire the first of two propellant

systems, the liquid fuel boosters.

When the shuttle

reaches the stratosphere...

...the secondary

insertion booster will fire...

...propelling the craft

at 4gs into the mesosphere.

- Careful.

- I know.

- Careful. Careful.

- I know.

Wow, that's really something, Lex.
