151 Oh, you know, I'll just... I'll take that. That's good. 152 - Sorry. - No. She's got plenty. 153 - Wait, she's married? - Yes. 154 No. Not really. It's more like a prolonged engagement. 155 But don't ask Miss Lane when they're tying the knot... 156 ...because she hates that question. 157 - like this follow the same stringent safety guidelines set by NASA? 158 Since this is a joint venture with the Air Force... 159 You all right? You look like you could use a drink. 160 This place is so tacky. Why are we back here? 161 Kitty, while you were doing your nails and ordering fur coats online... 162 ...I was busy unlocking the secrets... 163 ...of one of the most advanced civilizations in the universe. 164 Weren't there two of those? 165 You see, unlike our clunky earthbound forms of construction... 166 ...the technology on Krypton, Superman's home world... 167 ...was based on manipulating the growth of crystals. 168 Sounds like hocus-pocus to me. 169 Well, naturally, to the primitive mind, any sufficiently advanced technology... 170 ...would be indistinguishable from magic. 171 But imagine: cities, vehicles, weapons... 172 ...entire continents... 173 ...all grown. 174 To think that one could create a new world... 175 ...with such a simple little object. 176 It's like a seed. 177 And all it needs is water. 178 Like... 179 ...Sea-Monkeys. 180 Exactly, Kitty. 181 Like Sea-Monkeys. 182 Clark has been doing a little soul-searching for the last couple years. 183 - He saw Ilamas. - Yeah? 184 - Yeah. - Must be tough coming back. 185 - Coming back? - To work. 186 Yeah. 187 Well, you know, things change. 188 I mean, of course things change... 189 ...but sometimes things that you didn't think would change could change. 190 Take Lois. 191 A woman like her, I never thought she'd settle down. 192 You know, if you ask me... Because she'll never tell you this... 193 ...but if you ask me, she's still in love with you-know-who. 194 The original space shuttle generated 7.5 million pounds of thrust... 195 ...just in the initial launch phase. 196 But, by piggybacking on this Boeing 777... Yes? 197 If this launch is as pivotal as you claim... 198 ...why is it being covered by one news network? 199 Why don't we save those questions for the post-launch briefing. 200 How about that, Miss Lane? |
