Superman Returns Page #4

the shuttle failed to disengage...

...sending both crafts

rocketing towards space.

We're now going live to Cape Canaveral

for the latest update on this story.

Jim, all we know right now...

...is that the couplings

which hold the shuttle to the 777...

...malfunctioned

and did not release as planned.

- We're uncertain...

- I should do...

...why the ignition sequence

continued and boosters fired.

However, there's speculation here

that the blackout, which...

Help me sit up.

Mach one.

Still tied to the shuttle at 42,000 feet.

- Houston, we need some help. Houston!

- Running diagnostics check. Stand by.

Insertion booster ignition in five seconds.

Warning, warning.

What the hell is that?

There's some kind of unidentified bogey

coming from the north.

- Roger that.

- And it's coming in fast.

Declaring an emergency.

Overspeed, overspeed.

Altitude...

Do you see that?

Fly up, fly up.

Is everyone all right?

Are you okay?

Well, I hope this experience

hasn't put any of you off flying.

Statistically speaking,

it's still the safest way to travel.

Superman! Superman! Superman!

Superman!

Okay, everybody, listen up.

I wanna know it all, everything.

Olsen, I wanna see photos of him

everywhere. No, I want the photos.

Sports, how are they gonna get

that plane out of the stadium?

Travel, where did he go?

Was he on vacation? If so, where?

Gossip, has he met somebody?

Fashion, is that a new suit?

Health, has he gained weight?

What's he been eating?

Business, how is this gonna affect

the stock market? Long-term, short-term.

Politics, does he still stand for truth,

justice, all that stuff? Lifestyle:

"Superman Returns."

Come on.

Gil, how many F's in "catastrophic"?

None. What's the usage?

"This mysterious electromagnetic pulse

knocked out portable devices...

...and entire power grids,

causing a catastrophic event during..."

- Lois!

- Yes.

In my office.

This goes for everyone.

The story isn't the blackout,

it's Superman!

The story is the EMP, chief.

Every electronic device

on the East Coast goes dark.

- First, are you okay?

- Yes, thank you.

Lois, three things sell papers:

tragedy, sex and Superman.

People are sick of tragedy, we know

you can't write worth a damn about sex.

That means one thing. That one thing

is Superman. And you know it, Lois.

Lois?

- Are you all right? You sure?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Thank God.

- Where's Jason?

- I don't know. Isn't he with you?

- No.

- Well, where is he?

Hi.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm Clark Kent, an old friend of

your mom's from before you were born.

Really? She never mentioned you.

Really? Never?

- No.

- Jason.

- What are you doing here, honey?
