[Clark sighs]
Clark Kent
Lois, I'm sorry. I completely forgot.
Lois Lane
Okay. Go get your penguin suit on, and we'll go.

[Clark opens the doors to the balcony, and the two walk out; the two keep walking; Clark keeps walking, pulling Lois along; Clark walks onto the balcony edge, pulling Lois along; Lois grabs his arm; Clark keeps walking, pulling Lois along; Clark walks off the balcony, with Lois falling with him; Clark lets go of her hand and falls ahead; Superman arrives, wearing Clark's glasses, and catches Lois. Lois wraps her arms around Superman and smiles. She then sees that Superman is wearing Clark's glasses, surprising her; she takes off Clark's glasses and puts them on the belt of her dress. She sighs erotically]

Support and Connection in Challenging Times
Superman
How'd you like going solo?
Lois Lane
I loved it . . . Not as much as being with you.
Superman
I need to be with you too. You make me laugh. You're the only one I can talk to, Lois. See, sometimes, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Lois Lane
I'm always here for you, you know that. And you'll do the right thing, no matter what it is, you always have.
Superman
Thank you. You know something?

What?

You don't even know my name.

Never set one of them above the rest. Love all humanity instead". It's not fair.
[he shakes his head and sighs; He gives her a long, passionate kiss. As he lifts his head away from her face, Lois's eyes are closed, her head falls back, and her shoulders relax. She is in a trance-like state. Superman takes his glasses off her dress. She is bobbling back and forth. Superman walks back into his apartment and goes to his room. Clark comes out wearing a suit and puts on his glasses. He takes Lois's coat and purse on the armchair and walks to the door leading to the balcony]
Clark Kent
Lois. Uh Lois, it's time to go. We'll be late.
[Lois is still in a trance-like state. When he calls her name, she starts to awaken; Lois swings her head sexily towards Clark. She turns her head around uncertainly]
Clark Kent
Oh no, that's okay. I don't want to catch a cold. Here you go.
Lois Lane
God!
Clark Kent
Shall we go?
Lois Lane
I feel kinda weird. I feel like I've jet lag or something like-
[Lois and Clark start walking toward the door]
Clark Kent
Jeepers!
Lois Lane
Am I gonna go crazy? How about you? Are you still down?
[The two stop at the door, and Lois looks at Clark]
Clark Kent
Nope. Things are pretty clear, really.
Lois Lane
Good! Too much thinking wears down your batteries. Clark! You gotta go with your gut!
[Lois places her hands on Clark's arms; She winks. She walks to the door and turns around, pointing the hand with her purse at Clark, the other grabbing the doorknob]
Clark Kent
Hm?
[Lois opens the door]
Lois Lane
C'mon!
[She walks out, the door slightly closing behind her]

A Message of Unconditional Love and Support
Lois Lane
Well, if he can't manage and if he really is in trouble, then there's, uh, there's a few things I'd like to tell him. I'd tell him that I will always cherish the time we spent together. And I never expected anything in return and no matter how few minutes I saw him for, it always made me happy. And I would tell him, that I love him. And that I'll always love him. And that whatever happens to the world, I, I know that he's doing his best to make sure it'll be all right for the rest of us.

Superman's Commitment to Global Peace
Superman
Madam secretary. Honorable delegates. Ladies and gentlemen. For many years now, I've lived among you as a visitor. I've seen the beauty of your many cultures. I've felt great joy in your magnificent accomplishments. And I have also seen the folly of your wars. As of today, I'm not a visitor anymore, because the Earth is my home too. We can't live in fear, and I can't stand by and watch as we stumble into madness of possible nuclear destruction. And so I've come to a decision. I'm going to do what our governments have been unwilling or unable to do. Effective immediately, I'm going to rid our planet of all nuclear weapons.

Envisioning Peace for a United World
Superman
Once more, we have survived the threat of war and found a fragile peace. I thought I could give you all the gift of the freedom from war, but I was wrong. It's not mine to give. We're still a young planet. There are galaxies out there. Other civilizations for us to meet and to learn from. What a brilliant future we could have. And there will be peace – there will be peace when the people of this world want it so badly that their governments will have no choice but to give it to them. I just wish you could all see the Earth the way that I see it. Because when you really look at it, it's just one world.

Lex Luthor's Ambitious Plan for Power
Lex Luthor
You know what I can do with a single strand of Superman's hair?
Lenny
You can make a toupee that flies!
Lex Luthor
That hair is a sample of Superman's genetic material, the building blocks in his body. With my genius and enough nuclear power to mutate the genes, I can create a being who's more powerful than him..with total allegiance to me.
