The Human Flame

"The World Needs You Too Lois"

(Zack Snyder's Justice League)

Lois Lane :

Who is it?

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Martha.

Lois Lane :

Hi.

[softly] 

Hi.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

I went to The Daily Planet to 

finally pick up Clark’s things. 

[chuckles] 

I don’t know why, nowhere 

to put them now --

I lost The Farm. 

I’d been behind on the 

payments for a while. 

Truth is, The House is too big for me 

to live in by myself anyway.

Lois Lane :

Well, you know you’re welcome to stay here 

any time for as long as you need.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Thank You, Lois. That’s very kind. 

But I’ve found a little place that 

suits me just fine, right by the diner. 

I’m not here for help. I’m here because 

when I saw Mr. Perry, he told me 

that you haven’t been to work 

since Clark died.

Lois Lane :

[sighs softly]

I can’t.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

The Whole World 

is mourning. [sighs]

Grieving over a symbol. Everywhere I go, 

everywhere I look, I see that “S.”

 

I hear What People Say. They talk

 like they knew him. 

But they didn’t know Clark. And I can’t stop them 

and look at them and tell them 

how proud I am of My Son. 

You’re the only one who knows. 

Who feels What I Do. 

Burdened by A Secret 

on top of Grief. 

I came all this way, because I wanted… 

because I wanted to see you. 

Tell you… I understand.

Lois Lane :

I… will never love anybody 

the way that I love your son. 

And I just miss him. 

I miss him so much.

[Lois sniffles]

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

So do I, sweetheart.

[sighs]

Lois Lane :

Martha, you know if there’s 

anything you need, I’m here.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

There is something 

you can do for me, honey. 

Come back to The Living.

[door opens]

[suspenseful music plays]

Martian Manhunter :

The World needs you, too, Lois.
