I Hear Everything



"If Lois is Truly in Love
I won't stand in the way!

Once I'm sure she's safe and happy
I'll step out of her life forever!

But now I must look after her!
She's too impetuous!"


Lois interviews Superman | Superman Returns

Superman :
You know, you really
shouldn't smoke, Miss Lane.

Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you.


Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
No, I'm fine. Really.
I just wasn't expecting — you.

Superman :
With all the press on the plane...
I wasn't sure it was the best time for us to talk.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Well, there's no press around now.
Except for me, of course.

Superman :
I know people are asking questions
now that I'm back.
I think it's only fair that I answer those people.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
So you're here for an interview?
Okay, then.
Where did I put that thing?

Superman :
Right pocket.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
(now absolutely fuming)
….
Let's start with the big question.

Where'd you go?

Superman :
To Krypton.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
But you told me it was destroyed.
Ages ago.

Superman :
It was.
But when astronomers
thought they found it...
I had to see for myself.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Well, you're back, and everyone
seems to be pretty happy about it.

Superman :
Not everyone.
I read the article, Lois.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
So did a lot of people.
Tomorrow they're giving me the Pulitzer...

Superman :
Why did you write it?

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
How could you leave us like that?

I moved on
So did the rest of us.
That's why I wrote it.

The World Doesn't Need A Saviour.
And neither do I.

Superman :
Lois.
Will you come with me?

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Why?

Superman :
There's something I wanna show you.
Please.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
I can't be gone long.

Superman :
You won't be.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Clark said the reason you left without saying goodbye...
is because it was too unbearable for you.

Personally, 
I think that's a load of crap.

Superman :
Clark?

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
He's just a guy I work with.

Superman :
Maybe Clark's right.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
You know, my...
Richard, he's a pilot.
He takes me up all the time.

Superman :
Not like this.



Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
I forgot how warm you were.

Superman :
Listen.
What do you hear?

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
…..Nothing.


Superman :
I hear everything.
You wrote that 
'The World Doesn't Need A Saviour...'

But Every Day
I hear people crying for one.

I'm sorry I left you, Lois.
I'll take you back now.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Richard's A Good Man.
And you've been gone a long time.

Superman :
I know.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
I...
So will I see you around…?

Superman :
I'm always around.

Lois Lane 
(Not Superman’s Girl friend) :
Good night, Lois.
