(seeing Non and Ursa start toward him) Uh yes! Jor-El, your jailer.General Zod: (still at a loss) The Son or Jor-El! On this planet?Lex Luthor: Ah, possibly you know him better by his nom de voyage, or his . . . name he travels under — Superman.General Zod: (everything now making sense) Ah, so this is Superman. How do you know of Jor-El?Lex Luthor: Oh, my Fullness . . . as I explained to you before . . . I’m about the best there is.General Zod: Revenge! We will kill the son of our jailer!Ursa: Revenge!Lex Luthor: Revenge! Heh heh, now we’re cooking, huh?General Zod: He flies, then?Lex Luthor: Constantly.General Zod: He has powers as we do?Lex Luthor: Certainly, but, uh . . . oh, Magnificent One, he is . . . just one, where you are . . . three![Non growls menacingly]Lex Luthor: Or four, if you count him twice.General Zod: We will bring him to his knees!Ursa: Praying!General Zod: Yes, to me![Zod strides toward the door, Ursa and Non following]Lex Luthor: Wait![They turn back to Lex]Lex Luthor: First you must find him. And Lex Baby is the only one who knows where he is.General Zod: What . . . do you want?[Lex makes himself at home in the President’s chair and lights a cigar.]Lex Luthor: Well, General . . . the world is a big place. Thank goodness, uh . . . my needs are small. Eh, as it turns out, I have this affinity for, uh . . . beachfront property.General Zod: (approaching Luthor and mildly irked) What do you want?[Lex, feet up on the Oval Office desk, makes a Nixonian double-V sign with his fingers]Lex Luthor: Australia![Lex, walking through the Daily Planet, observes the destruction wrought by Non]Lex Luthor: [muttering] Even with all this accumulated knowledge, when will these dummies learn to use a doorknob?[He enters Perry White’s office]Lex Luthor: Hi!

You promised me the son of Jor-El.Lex Luthor: Oh yes, Your Grace. But what I’ve given you is the next best thing. You just hold onto that little lady and he’ll be along. You see, that have this relationship. She does all his public relations and he gives her every exclusive.[Luthor snickers]Lex Luthor: They’re the best of friends. [snickers again] You know what I mean?Ursa: What an undemanding male this Superman must be.Lois Lane: Yeah, and you could use a tuck here and there yourself, sister.. . .General Zod: She lives for now.

It’s too much, right, okay forget it. I can turn over a new leaf..a tree, a whole forest.[Superman arrives, floating just outside Perry White’s office window.]Superman: General? Would you care to step outside?Lois Lane: Superman!Lex Luthor: Superman! Thank God. [Zod looks sharply at Lex] I mean, get him!General Zod: Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!General Zod: Son of Jor-El. We were beginning to think you were a coward.Superman: I’m not a coward, Zod.Ursa: Let him prove it!General Zod: Possibly not. It is extremely likely you are merely a fool. Like father, like son.Superman: Somehow I just can’t hear you, Zod.[Zod fetches slab of concrete and prepares to throw it at Superman.]General Zod: Then die as you deserve to!General Zod: This . . . Superman is nothing of the kind! I’ve discovered his weakness.Ursa: Yes.General Zod: He cares. He actually cares for these Earth people.Ursa: Like pets?General Zod: I suppose so.Ursa: Sentimental idiot.(Superman rams the mammoth radio antenna back onto the Metropolis State Building, onto the momentarily supine Non)Ursa: He’s caged Non.General Zod: I’ll draw his fire . . . with some of my own.Man in Crowd #1: They killed Superman!Man in Crowd #2: Let’s go get ’em![Superman flies off, abandoning Metropolis to Zod]General Zod: Our victory is complete.
