No.
After him, you idiot!
[door knocking] Help!
Somebody, help!
- You! - Ah! Oh!
(female #1) 'What are you doing?'
(male #1) 'Sorry, miss, but I don't have time to explain.'
No, no, no! Ah!
- 'Hey!' - [indistinct]
No need to be alarmed, I'm a doctor.
Oh, oh, it's okay, Harry, he's a doctor.
- Munch? - Over here, doctor.
- Do you have the device? - He hasn't got it on him.
I don't know what he did with it.
Well, ask him where it is
and don't take no for an answer.
Well, I don't think that's gonna be possible, doc.
Police! Open this door.
- That way. - No, that way.
Go. Go.
You find them?
(male #2) 'Alright, let's make sure we get them back..
I have no idea what happened.
The last thing I remember is him pushing me back
into the apartment, saying, "I'm sorry, miss."
Who is he?
And you found her in some kind of trance?
Yeah.
I shook her, and I yelled at her
and it didn't seem to have any effect.
After a few minutes, she came out of it by herself.
Lois, the coroner's here. He's a doctor.
Do you want him to look you over?
No, thanks. I prefer doctors with live patients.
Who is the dead guy?
Uh, neighbors say that at least two other men
came into this apartment.
Yes, you told me. And I told you I didn't see anyone.
Uh, he didn't see anybody either.
Excuse me, but don't the police investigate the crime
and then send you the information?
I mean, you're an assistant D.A, not a cop.
And correct me if I'm wrong
but I'm reasonably sure my lips are moving.
Am I in a vacuum? Is there any sound coming out?
Can you tell me who the dead guy is?
Lois, I'm sure Mayson was--
I heard the call on my scanner.
I came by just to make sure you're okay.
Oh, Bulgaria adopted the gold standard in 1897.
The deceased is Neal Faraday.
Does that name mean anything to you?
[sighs] No.
But it will.
I plan to learn
everything there is to know about Neal Faraday.
According to this, there are only about eight people
on planet Earth who are capable of understanding
Dr. Faraday's theories.
And I can tell you this right now, Lois.
I am not one of them.
If he's famous enough to be written up in that magazine
how come we've never heard of him?
Oh, because there are only about eight people on planet Earth--
Who are capable of understanding his theories. Okay, I get it.
Alright, listen to this.
"The nonlinear amplifier multiplies the input signal
with obvious trigonomic results."
Obvious to whom?
The result would be amplified waves
with frequencies equal to the sum
and difference of the original frequencies.
What?
- What did I just say? - I have absolutely no idea.
Did I just explain what you were talking about?
I don't know.
How could I do that?
Well, there's no record of Dr. Faraday's whereabouts
for the last three years.
A brilliant scientist leaves his teaching post
cuts off his relationships with family and friends
and disappears.
And why would he do that? What was he working on?
I don't know, Lois.
555-0648. 555-0648.
555-0648. 5..55-06..
Thank you. 555-0648.
Listen, C.K, when a girl gives you her phone number--
Why did you just throw that away?
It doesn't work.
Well, maybe it just needs a refill.
No, it's probably disposable, everything is.
You know, that is one of the big problems with this world.
Disposable products, disposable relationships
disposable lives.
If everything is so expendable, what happens to friendship
to truth, to loyalty?
It's a pen, Clark.
But if you feel so strongly about it, be my guest.
It's yours.
Thank you.
We must recover that device.
It's the prototype. The only one in existence.
Without it, the project is doomed.
Oh, well, uh, Faraday
has obviously used it on this, uh, reporter babe.
The information's in her brain.
You gotta get her too.
Well, the information is safer now.
We're the only ones who know how to retrieve it.
Yeah, it leaks.
- What leaks? - Huh?
Oh, the information leaks right out of her brain.
- Really? - Yeah.
Oh.
Well, then we need the device, and we need the girl.
We must find a way to neutralize Superman.
Yeah.
Oh, oh. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Don't look at me. I just work here.
You're a doctor. You're supposed to be smart.
You come up with something.
I'm an eye doctor.
Oh, yeah, okay. Do something to his eyes.
Hmm.
And that was the last article he submitted to your magazine?
I'm sorry, your journal?
Uh, could you tell me what that article was about, please?
(Lois) 'Do you know anybody who might have some idea'
of Dr. Faraday's whereabouts
after he stopped teaching at the university?
Uh, could you put that in layman's terms?
(Lois) 'I guess not.'
Oh, no wonder it wouldn't work, Lois.
It's not a pen, it's a flashlight.
Hi, Mayson. Do you have more questions for me?
No.
Okay, thank you.
Light.
- What? - 'Light.'
(Clark) 'Apparently, Dr. Faraday understood'
the properties of light better than anyone who's ever lived.
Apparently, those properties can only be explained
to people who already understand them.
- Hi, Mayson. - Hi, Clark.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.
Oh, well, uh, if you'll excuse me
I have something to do.
Over there.
I know you're a really nice guy, Clark
and I don't mean to be forward but..
...I really like you.
[chuckles] Well, I like you too, Mayson.
Good, that makes this easier.
I have a cabin in the mountains.
I was gonna go up for the weekend, leaving tomorrow
after work and I was wondering if you would like to join me?
[phone ringing] 'Don't answer me now, just hear me out.'
Lois Lane.
It's cold this time of year but there's a fireplace.
and a wood burning stove.
- 'Who is this?' - 'Never mind who I am.'
(man on phone) 'If you wanna know about Dr. Faraday'
[voice echoing] 'come to Metropolitan Park, east of the pond.'
'Come now, and come alone.'
'If you bring anybody with you, you will learn nothing.'
Something important?
No. No.
No, nothing as important as, uh
whatever you and Mayson are talking about.
So, how about it?
I'll pick you up tomorrow after work?
- That sounds great, Mayson-- - Hey, Mayson.
How you doing? How's the investigation going?
Well, the police are having trouble tracing
Dr. Faraday's whereabouts for the last few years.
Yeah, well, so are some of my reporters.
I mean, you've come up with, uh, well, what, Clark?
- Not much, Perry, but.. - See? Excuses.
Sometimes I think my name's "Perry But."
"Oh, I tried, Perry, but.." "I'm sorry, Perry, but.."
"Oh, I wish Perry, but.."
You know, that reminds me of the time
I first became an editor.
[pager beeping] 'Well, there was this, uh, young reporter'
I don't think he'd been with the Planet more than
oh, a couple weeks.
Mater of fact, he reminded me of you, a little bit, you know.
Uh, uh, gosh, you all could've been brothers. Except he..
Hello?
I'm Lois Lane.
[scoffs] We know who you are, Miss Lane.
Where's the device?
Excuse me?
Dr. Faraday's device.
Where is it?
I don't know what you're talking about.
- Who are you? - Where is Superman?
I don't know.
Yo-you said you were gonna tell me about Dr. Faraday.
Come on, doc, look at her. Do I really have to shoot her?
No, Munch, we're just going to lure Superman.
Alright.
Tell me, Miss Lane
does superman always appear
when you find yourself in mortal danger?
I don't think that's a question I wanna hear
when I'm standing out here with a light shining in my face
talking to someone I don't know that I can't see.
Well, would you be kind enough to answer it, anyway?
Uh, well, yes, he does.
At least he has so far but I'm not sure that's a theory
I wanna test right this instant.
Go, go. Get her.
Superman, help!
So, think it worked?
I don't know.
Oh, you don't know.
Thanks, Superman.
You're welcome, Lois.
I don't want you to think I'm complaining.
I'm just curious.
Why are you flying so slow?
Well, because I can't see.
I can't see anything at all.
(Lois) 'Okay, a little to the left.'
'Now, down, just a few feet.'
Oh, no, you've gone too far.
Up, up
a little more. Now, now, now.
[panting] Uh, ah, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, now, now you've gone a little bit past it
'so, so, come to your right'
to right a little bit and then come straight in. Oh.
- Or to the left. - Sorry.
No, no. It's my fault.
I-I, oh.
Can I get you anything?
I just don't know what to do.
I'm so sorry.
Here. Here, sit down.
I-is there anybody that I can call?
Or just tell me what to do to help you.
You could let me sleep on your couch tonight.
- You sleep? - Yes, I sleep.
I-I mean, it's-it's not like I thought you were
you know, a bat that flies around all night.
Or, I, I just, I never really thought of you
sleeping, I guess.
- Are you hungry? - No.
Uh, I'm not hungry, thank you.
'And I'll try not to impose on you past tonight.'
It's probably temporary.
And I'm sure everything will be fine by tomorrow.
Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm sure that
you're absolutely right.
And you're not imposing.
Why don't I just sit at the table?
- Lois? - Yes?
I know this is newsworthy.
The fact that I'm blind.
But if the criminal element finds out that I'm harmless
to them, they'll have a field day.
I understand. I won't print a thing.
- Won't tell anyone. - Thank you.
- What about Clark? - What about him?
Should I tell him or should I not tell him?
If you see Clark, uh, you can tell him.
Of course, I'll see him. Why wouldn't I see him?
Is it any better?
Can you see anything at all?
No.
Lois, I was wondering
if Star Labs had anyone on staff
who might be able to help me.
Oh, well, yeah, I-I- I'm sure they would.
That's a good idea. They open at 9:00.
I'll-I'll give them a call.
[crackling] Lois, when I said I like my bacon crisp
- I didn't mean.. - Oh!
Alternating current is deadlier than direct current.
Have some pop tarts.
Lois, have you, have you seen Clark?
I need to talk to him.
- You can talk to me. - It's kind of a guy thing.
Well, if it's a guy thing, it means
it's about prostate trouble or about women
and you're too young for prostate trouble
so it means you probably wanna talk to Clark about women.
I say, if you wanna know something, go to the source.
Alright. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Here it is.
If a girl gives you her phone number, right.
You don't ask for it she just gives it to you.
And tells you to call her sometime
so you do, and she doesn't call you back
how long are you supposed to wait before you call her again?
Jimmy, I'm going to give you
the secret to success about women.
- You are? - Yes.
The Pacific box jellyfish
is the most dangerous animal in the ocean.
Matt? Hi, it's Lois Lane.
Oh, this is an emergency. I need you to help me with..
Uh, I don't mean to be rude. It's sort of private.
Oh. Oh, no, no, God. I just..
You were gonna tell me the secret to success with women?
Oh, right. It's, um, uh..
It'll come back to me, probably.
Matt, you can't tell anyone about this.
Secret of the universe yanked out
from underneath me like a cheap rug.
(Lois) 'Dr. Banerjee? You're sure he's the best?'
'Okay. Thanks, Matt.'
'I appreciate your help and your discretion.'
Dr. Banerjee will be very happy
to see your friend Superman, Miss Lane.
Yeah.
Not a good idea.
Uh, excuse me, sir. Could you, sir?
Uh, excuse me, sir. I'm sorry.
Uh, could you tell me where the nearest pay phone is, please?
Sir, could..
Ah.
Yes, I'd like to make a collect call, please.
Clark Kent.
Hi, mom.
Come here, give me your money, will ya?
Help me!
Help!
'Help me!'
No, mom, I'm staying at Lois' but
I'm staying there as Superman.
So, if you come, bring your stuff by my place--
- 'Help me.' - Get-Get over here.
[screaming] What's happening? What? What's-what's going on?
- Are you alright? - I'm-I'm fine.
Your voice, it, it sounds very familiar.
Who are you?
Uh, I'm Superman.
Oh. Do you see my cane?
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were blind.
Uh, oh.
- Here, here you go. - Thank you.
Thank you for saving me.
Uh..
You're welcome.
I'm-I'm a little bit turned around, I was-I was wondering
if you could, uh, point me in the direction
of West 57th street?
Uh.. I think it's that way.
Superman? His name is Banerjee.
He's on his way. I'll be there as soon as I can.
- Lois, where's Clark? - I don't know.
Well, you're his partner, aren't you?
Yes, I'm his partner, not his keeper.
Oh, you two fighting again?
(Lois) 'Clark and I don't fight.'
We disagree sometimes.
Huh, well, it's just not like Clark
to be late without calling in.
Maybe he left early on his weekend date.
'If I had a babe like that Mayson Drake after me'
'I'd leave early.'
(Perry) 'Well, you probably would, Jimmy'
'but it's not Clark's style'
to go chasing out after some babe.
"Babe." Would you two use some other word besides babe?
'I don't think she is such a babe, anyway.'
Lois, you think you could find him for me, please?
I have something else to do, Perry.
Besides, Jimmy's probably right.
Men just seem to get all feeble-minded
when a kind-of attractive woman bats their eyes at them.
Even Clark.
If a spin wheel's geared internally with a pinion
the wheels rotate in the same direction.
Huh.
Ho!
Dr. Banerjee, I presume?
Uh, coming.
Hello, Mr. Superman.
I am Dr. Banerjee from Star Labs
and this is my assistant, Mr. Gomez.
Miss Lane has summoned us.
How may we serve you?
So, you are completely without sight?
Yes.
- No shapes, no colors? - No.
You cannot perceive the light that I'm shining
into your eyes at this very moment?
No.
Dr. Banerjee, what is Mr. Gomez doing?
'Uh, he's merely looking for the facilities, Mr. Superman.'
'Like you, he is visually challenged.'
'But I'm sure he'll be more careful in the future.'
Won't you, Mr. Gomez?
Uh, Si, Senor.
So, tell me, Mr. Superman
how did this great tragedy occur?
Someone shined a light into my eyes.
A purplish light.
Hmm, well, I do not know what happened, of course.
How could I?
'But it is the case, when ultraviolet light
'is shined on certain substances'
'it can turn them opaque.'
'Substances that are otherwise transparent'
'like clear glass, for example.'
Perhaps, it is the same with the Kryptonian eye.
'An interesting theory, yes?'
Though the loss of sight is quite tragic
the man who came up with this method of blinding you
is clearly a genius.
- I would like to meet him. - So would I.
But, of course, uh
your eyes are so much more important than this.
I'm apologizing to you for wandering down this path
of theoretical science when clearly almost--
Superman! It's the men from the park.
The men who blinded you.
Lois?
Lois, are you okay?
[groans] Come on. Come on.
(Superman) 'Lois?'
Yeah, Superman, I'm okay.
No, I'm not. I'm mad.
I'm furious. It's always the same thing.
Where is Clark Kent when anybody needs him?
Lois, I'm sure he--
You know, he's supposed to be your friend.
But is he here for you? Is he here for me?
I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation.
No, his two best friends could really
use his help right now, and where is he?
If he could be here--
He's in the mountains with Mayson Drake.
I understand why you didn't want us to go straight
to Lois' place with our suitcases in our hands
saying, "where's our boy?"
Why couldn't we have left the suitcases
in a locker at the airport?
A child of four could pick those locks.
Well, maybe we should have that child here with us now.
I'm not doing very well. You wanna try?
I have absolutely no idea how to pick a lock.
(Jimmy) 'Oh, you just align the tumblers to the shear point.'
Oh, well, that would be fine
if I had a clue what "shear point" means.
It's where the tumblers open up to the top of the cylinder
but understanding that
and doing that are two different things.
- You want me to give it a go? - Oh, please. Thanks.
So, you guys you're gonna spend the weekend with Clark, huh?
He-he's expecting you, right?
Yeah, sure.
Well, he, uh, he called
'and said he needed some help with something'
and ordinarily, we'd just stay here until he came home
but it's cold and, and Martha's been reading
a book about, uh, locks. So..
You knocked, right?
- Oh, yeah. - Sure, sure.
You know, I think maybe you guys should
prepare yourselves for, uh..
Well, I don't think Clark's gonna be here this weekend.
Perry wanted me to come over and look for him
but it's a waste of time.
What are you saying, Jimmy?
Well, um, Clark's gone off with a date.
Maybe I shouldn't say anything.
I just-I just think knowing is better than
sitting around all weekend not knowing, right?
Thanks.
Guess it would help if I knew what to look for.
It must be small or he wouldn't have been
looking underneath that chair.
Think back two nights ago.
Back to when Dr. Faraday was here.
Was he holding anything in his hand?
I don't know.
I tried to remember. I just don't.
Well, I guess that's it.
No place else to look.
- I wish I could help. - Oh, you did help.
You lifted the furniture, a really heavy furniture--
No, I wish I could really help.
If I could see, I could search this place in seconds.
I just don't know what to do
when I see you're feeling for furniture or the wall.
I don't know if I should help you
or I should let you figure it out yourself.
I mean, I don't wanna make you feel--
Helpless, dependent, clumsy?
Thanks for keeping it light.
I don't like this.
I do feel helpless and dependent and clumsy.
But you have to play the hand that you've been dealt.
If this blindness turns out to be permanent
then I'm gonna have to figure out how to be the best
blind person I can.
Because I really do believe we're all put here on this earth
or whatever planet we're put on
to do better than we think we can.
To be kind, helpful
generous, and forgiving.
You know I'll be here for you no matter what.
I care about you a lot, Superman.
Thank you, Lois.
I care about you, too.
[thinking] Now, remember, Martha, he's not Clark.
He's not our son, he's Superman.
[knocking on door] - 'Okay.' - It's the Kents.
The Kents? Clark's parents?
- How do you know? - Oh, uh..
[knocking on door] Oh. Oh, of course.
- Hi, Lois. - Martha, Jonathan.
Come in.
Oh, Superman. How are you?
Oh, we're sorry. We should have called.
Uh, but Clark wasn't home
'and so we thought, well..'
I guess we didn't think.
No, no, please, uh
I know Lois is always happy to see you
and, and so am I.
- Lois? - Over here.
Uh, do you have any, Oolong Tea?
- Oolong? - Oolong.
No. Do you want some?
If it wouldn't be too much trouble.
(Martha) 'Oolong sounds wonderful.'
Uh, Lois, let's you and me
go get these tea-drinkers some oolong.
- Superman.. - Everything's fine, Lois.
I-I just want some Oolong. Really.
Oh.
Mom, when I called you
I told you, you didn't have to come.
Oh, Clark, honey, of course we're here.
Your dad and I love you more than anything on this Earth.
I told you he left town early.
Oh, Jimmy, listen, McClain called in sick.
Can you process this film for me?
Oh, sure, chief. Anyway, so, listen. Clark's not home. Right?
And he's so keen on this trip to the mountains.
He completely forgot that his parents
were coming to visit this weekend.
CK is so cool. And that Mayson Drake.
- I mean, she is gorgeous. - Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Hi. Is Clark around?
- W-we thought he was with-- - No, he's not around, Mayson.
Huh, maybe I misunderstood
when I was supposed to pick him up.
Oh.
Do you know when he'll be back?
Oh, no, I don't think I do.
No, Mayson, I don't know when he'll be back. Uh..
You're trying to be nice, aren't you?
You're trying not to have to tell me I've been stood up.
I don't believe it.
Yeah, I know what you mean, Jimmy.
You know, I thought Clark was a bigger man than that.
She came on to him. All he had to do was show up.
Wh-Why would he give that up?
Cold feet, Jimmy. Cold feet.
When you let a woman do the chasing
next thing you know, you're buying a tux
and you're walking down the aisle.
Now, you remember that.
Don't forget it.
Alright.
I can't believe it. They had real scones.
Martha loves real scones.
Superman likes them, too, as I recall.
- Uh, do you have butter? - Huh.. Mm.
Lois.
Superman is a strong young man
inside, where it counts.
He knows you're here for him.
We're all here for him.
I just don't understand how
Clark could go away for the weekend
with a woman he hardly knows
and now of all times.
You know, he and Superman are friends
and Superman needs him.
Does Clark know that?
[sighs] No, I guess not.
I'm sorry, Jonathan.
I know Clark's a good person and a good friend.
I'm just upset about Superman.
I understand, Lois.
It's just, I think that--
- Ahh! - 'Hey. Hey.
'What are you doing? Hey! Hey!'
- No. - Hey, hey, hey.
'Hey, you.'
Honey, please, sit down.
I can't, mom.
I've never felt so helpless in my entire life.
Where is she?
You just called her 10 minutes ago, son.
Finally.
Oh, easy, dude.
'Easy, whoa.'
Mayson?
- Yes. - Uh, thank you for coming.
I'm, uh, Jonathan Kent. This is my wife Martha.
- Kent? - I think you know our son.
Clark?
What's going on here?
And if Lois has been kidnapped
why aren't you out looking for her?
Oh, please, Ms. Drake, um, come sit down.
We'll try and explain it.
Sit down, Ms. Lane.
If you do not sit down
I will turn Munch loose on you
which I prefer not to do.
Munch does not entirely enjoy hurting people
but it is part of his job description
and he is quite good at it.
Thank you.
Now, tell me, where is the device, Ms. Lane?
Don't you think I would tell you if I knew?
Don't you think Superman is more important
to me than this stupid thingamajig I never saw
and don't even know what it is?
Pretty good point.
Okay, I will tell you what it is.
What it means, what it's capable of doing
and then, you will tell me where it is.
Oh, we've learned a lot in two days.
The dead man, Dr. Faraday was a genius.
His experiments were being funded by
a wealthy eye doctor named Harold P. Leit.
What were they working on?
Dr. Faraday developed a device
which can carry knowledge
on a beam of light through the eye
directly to the brain.
Oh, my.
A terrible thing in the wrong hands.
Yes, and I think we can assume that
Dr. Leit's hands are definitely the wrong hands.
And so you see, Ms. Lane
why this device is so very important to me.
It would pretty much allow you
to control the world, wouldn't it?
Yeah, pretty much.
No, no, no, no.
My motives are purely altruistic, I assure you.
It gives everyone equal access to knowledge
and, as we all know
'"Knowledge is power."'
He used it on me, didn't he?
Dr. Faraday, before he died?
There are things in my brain
that I don't know how they got there.
I don't have access to them, really.
They just sort of seem to leak out from time to time.
Well, it's a two-step process.
You see, the information is implanted in your brain
but then it needs to be
switched on, so to speak.
Now, tell me.
Where is the device?
What does it look like?
I really don't know.
Alright, I will humor you.
It looks like a ball-point pen.
A gleaming, silver ball-point pen.
Ah, I can see in your eyes
that you do know where it is.
And I can see that Dr. Faraday had a good reason
for you not to have it.
- Huh. - Oh, let's don't be rude.
Okay, Ms. Lane?
Munch.
'You're forgetting that we do have a bargaining chip.'
You tell me where the device is
and I will give you the antidote
for Superman's blindness.
There's an antidote?
How do I know you're telling the truth?
Well, either I am or I'm not.
Alright.
- Well? - You first.
[chuckles] Oh, I don't think so.
Well, then we have a problem.
Because I don't trust you to keep your side of the bargain.
You don't seem to grasp that you are
in a life-or-death situation, Ms. Lane
'and you are outnumbered.'
Mm.
Well, you can kill me anytime.
'I'd rather you didn't'
but there does not seem to be much I can do about it.
Or you can trust me.
You tell me what I want to know
and I will tell you what you want to know.
You're right.
I can kill you anytime, Ms. Lane.
Actually, it was brilliantly simple.
I used ultraviolet light to blind Superman.
Ultraviolet light isn't visible to the naked eye.
Well, I merely added some visible light
from the cold end of the spectrum
to help me guide the light into Superman's eyes.
The antidote is infrared light.
Very good, Ms. Lane.
Tell me, is that Dr. Faraday's knowledge or yours?
Now, tell me.
Where is Faraday's device?
It's at the Daily Planet.
(Superman) 'What did you say?'
It looks like a silver ball-point pen.
You know where it is, don't you?
- Yes. - Good. Let's call the police.
- No. - Why not?
They've probably made Lois tell them where it is.
So, if the police go charging in there
Lois will be in even more danger.
I'll handle this myself.
- Is this the good window? - Uh, yes.
- But it's-- - You're incapacitated.
(Jonathan) 'Wait.'
Oh..
Looks like he misjudged the distance to the ground.
Is he okay?
Yes, dear. I imagine so.
He is Superman.
How is he going to get where he's going
if he can't see where he's going?
Uh, Daily Planet, please.
Where is it?
It's over there.
You lied to me.
No, I-I didn't. It-it was here. And--
Enough.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
I will extract it from you painfully.
Ahh.
Oh, you will wish you had not lied to me, Ms. Lane.
Munch.
Ahh.
- She's gone. - Yes, doctor.
(Dr. Leit) 'Do you have a flashlight?'
- 'No, doctor.' - Find her!
- Okay, doctor. - You go that way.
I'll go this way.
(Munch) 'Oh, Ms. Lane.'
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
I found her, doctor.
(Munch) 'Come here.'
- Ahh! - Ahh!
I know you're here, Superman.
You're right. I am here, Dr. Leit.
And I have the device.
Lois, can you get to where I am?
No. Ahh!
Lois, are you alright?
She's fine for now, Superman.
And she'll stay fine if you'll simply roll the device
toward the sound of my voice.
Okay, doctor. Catch.
[chuckles] Nice try, Superman.
- Munch. - Yeah.
Retrieve the device, please.
Sure.
- Huh! - Ow! Oh.
Superman, look this way.
- Drop the device. - No, no, Munch.
Munch, give it to me.
- What? - Give it to me.
[sighs] Thank you, Superman.
No, thank you, Lois.
- Munch. - What?
- Can you see? - See what?
I'm blind.
Yeah. Yeah, I think I am, too.
- Ow. - Munch.
Maybe it's a good thing the device was destroyed.
Technology and human nature
sometimes are a volatile mix, aren't they?
Like Frankenstein.
In bodies of uniform density
the position of the center of gravity
depends only on the shape of the body.
There she goes again.
Well, maybe we'll get used to it, huh?
I don't know.
Hi.
Clark.
I understand how you feel, son.
But I want you to remember
that women are people, too.
They deserve fair treatment.
- Hi. - I want you to know.
I was really humiliated when you stood me up.
And I still think it was a rotten thing for you to do
but I've met your parents and I've spent some time with them
and they're such a wonderful people that
I'm willing to assume that any son of theirs
wouldn't do what you did and that this weekend
was simply some kind of misunderstanding.
I don't want an explanation.
And I won't ask you out again.
But if you want to ask me
I probably won't say no.
They just spent a weekend together.
A three-day weekend.
I can't believe she has to see him again so soon.
They didn't go.
What?
- He stood her up. - What?
Clark.
If you weren't with Mayson
where have you been the last three days?
Um..
