Superman - Urgent Call for Planetary Evacuation
First Elder:
...An unpleasant duty has been masterly performed, Jor-El. They have received the fate they deserve: isolation in the Phantom Zone; an eternal living death.
Jor-El:
A chance for survival, nonetheless. As opposed to us, if we continue to ignore these facts...It's suicide! No, it's worse. It's genocide!
First Elder:
Be warned, Jor-El. The Council has already evaluated this outlandish theory of yours.
Jor-El:
My friends, you know me to be neither rash nor impulsive. I'm not given to wild, unsupported statements. And I tell you that we must evacuate this planet immediately!
First Elder:
Jor-El, you are one of Krypton's greatest scientists.
Second Elder:
Ah, yes, but so is Vond-Ah.
Vond-Ah:
It isn't that we question your data. The facts are undeniable. It's your conclusions we find unsupportable.
Jor-El:
This planet, along with its red sun, will destabilize and burst within thirty days...likely within seven.
Vond-Ah:
I tell you Krypton is simply shifting its orbit.
Second Elder:
Jor-El, be reasonable! Let Krypton die? Never! This is just another one of your...mistaken fantasies.
Jor-El:
My friend, I've never been otherwise. This madness is yours...to do with as you wish.
First Elder:
This discussion is terminated. The decision of the Council is final...Any attempt by you to create a climate of fear and panic among the populace must be deemed by us...an act of insurrection.
Jor-El:
You would accuse me of insurrection? Has it now become a crime to cherish life?
First Elder:
You would be banished to endless imprisonment in the Phantom Zone...the eternal void which you yourself discovered. Will you abide by the Council's decision?
Jor-El:
I will remain silent. Neither I nor my wife will leave Krypton.
