Superman 2 - Lex Luthor talking with Jor-El
LEX:
It's unbelievable, but it's True.
Kryptonian alpha waves, three sets of them.
MS. TESSMACHER:
I didn't know Superman had relatives!
LEX:
He doesn't!
It's The Villains, The Incorrigibles!
[She nods.]
LEX:
These three little sweethearts are
on their way here.
Do you realize what They're going to do?
They're going to give me The World!
MS. TESSMACHER:
But Lex, you don't even like The World.
LEX:
The World, Ms. Tessmacher,
is Real Estate.
Lots and lots of Real Estate.
MS. TESSMACHER:
Land, land, land, it's always land!
LEX:
Which They'll Develop for Me.
As soon as We take over,
I'll get rid of Superman,
I'll put Them to Work.
Super-construction crew!
...DE-struction crew!
They'll Level Forests, Move Mountains,
Create New Coastlines!
MS. TESSMACHER:
Oh, here we go again...
LEX:
...Thanks to The Help of Superman.
He set Them free.
Lex, baby, you're a hell of a fella...
even when you lose, you win!
[They get back on the snowmoboat. Lex points to his left.]
LEX:
South, Ms. Tessmacher.
South... to Victory!
MS. TESSMACHER:
Lex...
[She points to their right.]
MS. TESSMACHER:
South.
LEX:
Ms. Tessmacher?
A mouth full of mink?
[He laughs, and she laughs nervously along with him.]
LEX:
Right.
[We then get the shot of them on the snowmoboat used in the theatrical release, the lines for which are quoted above. Except here, all Lex says is...]
LEX:
South, Ms. Tessmacher. South!
