Jason

Son of Superman | Superman Returns

You will be different.

Sometimes, you will feel like an outcast.

But you'll never be alone.

You will make my strength your own.

You will see my life through your eyes...

as your life will be seen through mine.

The son becomes the father...

and the father becomes the son.

Good night!

Lois Lane :

I...

Will we see you?

Around?

Superman Emeritus :

I'm always around.

Good night, Lois.

Hi.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm Clark Kent, an old friend of

your mom's from before you were born.

Really? She never mentioned you.

Really? Never?

- No.

- Jason.

- What are you doing here, honey?

- Daddy's office is boring.

Daddy's office is boring?

Clark, hey! Welcome back.

- I see you've already met the munchkin.

- Yeah, we were just talking...

- Did you take vitamins? Eye drops?

- Yes. Yes.

- Albuterol? Poly-Vi-Flor?

- Yes. Yes, Mom.

Good boy. Um, he's a little fragile,

but he's gonna grow up...

to be big and strong

like his dad, won't you?

- Yes?

- Yes.

Oh, I saw you on the...

Oh, yeah. That was nothing.

- Hey, can I borrow your stapler?

- Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Congratulations on the Pulitzer.

That's incredible.

Yeah. Can you believe it? It's...

So I wanna hear all about your trip.

Where did you go? What did you see?

Meet anyone special?

Well, there's so much. Where to begin?

Where's the little guy? Hey, kiddo.

- How are you?

- Good.

Can you work some magic

to get your uncle...

to stop giving me

such a hard time on this article?

- Please?

- Again?

- Again.

- You got it.

- How are you, kiddo?

- Good.

Oh, this is Clark.

Oh.

- Clark, Richard. Richard, Clark.

- Richard White.

Hi.

Richard's an assistant editor here who's

basically saved our International section.

- Well...

He's also a pilot...

and he loves horror movies.

Mm.

Clark is...

Well, he's Clark.

Well, it's great to finally meet you.

I've heard so much.

- Oh, you have?

Yeah, Jimmy won't shut up about you.

- Gotta run.

- Where?

You heard Perry. Superman's back, and

he thinks I'm the only one equipped to...

To what?

- I don't know, you know.

- So don't listen to him.

I'm not. Going to the power plant

to check out the blackout.

Okay.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

- Bye, Lois.

- And she's gone.

No matter how close we are,

that woman will always be a mystery.

If you need anything,

I'm right over there.

Nice to finally meet you.

Where do you wanna go?

Wanna go to the park?

And he's got the whole world.

In his hands.

He's got the whole world.

And he's got the whole world in his...

Oh, he's cute.

Run into trouble?

- Should see the other guy.

- What are we gonna do?

Modify it, attach it to the stern.

I don't care if the instructions

are in Russian.

- Uh, Lois?

- Hey, Clark.

How does it feel to be back at work?

Oh, pretty good. You know,

kind of like riding a bike, I guess.

- A bike?

- Yeah, you know, um...

Never mind.

But, uh, I was wondering...

since I've gotten back, we haven't

really had a chance to catch up.

I thought maybe, if you'd like,

we could go grab some food...

Hey, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Have you ever met someone and it's like you're from different worlds...

but you shared such a connection you knew you were destined to be together?

Then he just takes off without explaining why...

or without even saying goodbye?

Sounds cheesy, I know.

Well, maybe...

Taxi!

It was hard to say goodbye

because he had to go...

and he wanted to say goodbye,

but maybe it was too difficult for him.

Difficult? 

What's so difficult about it?

"Goodbye." 

It's easy.

What's so hard about saying goodbye?

Uh...

Who are we talking about?

Nobody, just forget I said anything.

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.

Hylas, The Latecomer

Jason :

Hercules!

He's here! 

Hercules :

I mean to sail with you. 

Tell me which Champion to beat. 

Jason :

No one. 

I know you can beat us all. 

Hylas :

Hercules... yes. 

Hercules.

Hercules :

Yes? 

Hylas :

I'm Hylas. 

I came too late to compete in the games. 

But if I can beat you at something, 

Jason must give me a place. 

After all, he might need brains as well as brawn. 

Shall we compete? 

Hercules :

Discus? 

Come on. 

See that rock? 

No thrower has ever reached it. 

Hylas :

Is the contest to hit it 

or pass it?

Hercules :

You won't get it half way.

Hylas :

After you. 

I've never thrown a discus before. 

I'd like to see how it's done. 

Jason :

(to red-faced Hercules)

Let Hylas have a moment of triumph.

You shall have your place.

Hail, Hylas.

Warrior

“You are in Great Pain, 

aren't you?

You KNOW 

What Evil lurks in The Hearts of Men, 

for you have •seen• 

That Evil in Your OWN Heart. 

Every Man pays A Price for Redemption 

— This is Yours.”

“I’m not lookin' for Redemption!”

“You Have 

NO CHOICE --

You WILL be redeemed, 

Because •I• will Teach you to 

USE Your Black Shadow 

to FIGHT Evil.”

“So, you know, I have felt that 

The Men have suffered a great deal 

in losing The Wild Man, 

which is a certain form of 

spontaneity connected with 

The Wilderness itself. 

And they’ve suffered a great deal 

since the Second World War 

in losing The Warrior. 

It’s very strange how this works.

We gave up the The King, that is, 

we founded our country 

with getting rid of The King. 

And you know, 

The King is weak in American Men also 

How can it be otherwise?

MOYERS: 

The King being–

BLY: 

The King [being] The Part of The Man 

that determines What He is Going to Do Now. 

What My Course is Going to Be.

“ On December 16, 1961, The World turned upside down and inside out, and I was born, screaming, in America.

It was the end of 

The American Dream, 

just before we lost our innocence irrevocably, 

and the TV Eye brought 

The Horror of Our Lives 

into our homes for all to see.

I was told when I grew up, 

I could be anything I wanted – 

A Fireman, 

A Policeman, 

A Doctor. 

Even President, 

it seemed. 

And for the first time in The History of Mankind, 

something new called 

An 'Astronaut.'

But like many kids growing up 

on a steady diet of Westerns, 

I always wanted to be 

The Cowboy Hero :– 

That Lone Voice in The Wilderness 

fighting Corruption and Evil, wherever I found it, 

and standing for 

Freedom, Truth and Justice.

And in my 

Heart of Hearts, 

I still track the remnants 

of That Dream, wherever I go, 

on my never-ending ride 

into The Setting Sun.

“.....Unbelievable. 

And you know what’s wild, people’s, er, 

attitudes in the States about it. 

Talking about Kennedy, people come up to me :

“Bill, quit talking about Kennedy, man. 

Let it •go•. It was a long •time• ago – 

just •forget• about it.”

And I’m like 

“Alright, then don’t bring up Jesus to me.”

Why….?

And Why 

The Hell Not….?

“Because you’re PISSING PEOPLE OFF, that’s •WHY• !!”

You bring up Kennedy, 

you alienate registered Republicans;

You bring up Jesus, 

you alienate atheists, liberals,

Movement Skeptics,

The Ron Paul People,

and 

ALL non-Christians —

•Nobody• has a problem with 

King Arthur....

The man didn’t even instigate A Crusade, for crying out loud....

“Bill, you know Jesus died for your si -”

Yeah, well it was 

a long time ago. 

Forget about it!

How about this —

Get Pilate to release the fuckin’ files..!!

Quit washing your hands Pilate – Release The Goddam Files. 

Who else was on that grassy Golgotha that day?

“Bill, it was just, you know, hur, 

The Taking-over of Democracy

by a Totalitarian Government, 

let it go—”

" There is A Way of Bringing up The Child of a Samurai. 

From the time of infancy one should 

encourage bravery and avoid trivially frightening or teasing the child. 

If a person is affected by cowardice 

as A Child, it remains a lifetime scar. 

It is a mistake for parents to thoughtlessly make their children dread lightening, or to have them not go into dark places, or to tell them frightening things in order to stop them from crying.

Furthermore, A Child will become timid 

if he is scolded severely. 

One should not allow bad habits to form. 

After a bad habit is ingrained, 

although you admonish the child, 

he will not improve. 

As for such things as proper speaking and good manners, 

gradually make the child aware of them. 

Let him not know avarice. 

Other than that, if he is of a normal nature, 

he should develop well by the way he is brought up. 

Moreover, the child of parents who 

have a bad relationship will be unfilial. 

This is natural. Even the birds and beasts are affected 

by what they are used to seeing and hearing 

from the time they are born. 

Also, the relationship between Father and Child 

may deteriorate because of A Mother's Foolishness. 

A Mother loves Her Child above all things, 

and will be partial to The Child 

that is corrected by His Father. 

If she becomes The Child's Ally, 

there will be discord between Father and Son. 

Because of the shallowness of her mind, 

A Woman sees The Child as her support in old age. "

“So therefore, with My Father, I do not want or need to be shamed by him any longer. 

Well, that means that there has been some movement to get the doorknob on the inside of the door. 

That’s called A Warrior. A 

Warrior is NOT someone that goes off and kills. That’s the negative Warrior. 

That’s the one that’s without The King. 

But each of us needs our Warrior desperately.

Women have a very fierce Warrior in them, you know. They have a very fierce Warrior. And I would say that the women, in the last 20 years, have a much greater sense of their own boundaries than The Men do.

So, you know, I have felt that the men have suffered a great deal in losing THE WILD MAN, which is a certain form of spontaneity connected with The Wilderness ITSELF. 

And they’ve suffered a great deal since the Second World War in losing The Warrior. 

It’s very strange how this works.

We gave up The King, that is, we founded Our Country with getting rid of The King. And you know, The King is WEAK in American Men also; how can it be otherwise?”

MOYERS: 

The King being–

BLY: 

The King [being] the part of The Man that determines what he is going to do now. What my course is going to be.

MOYERS: 

The King can decide that for himself. That’s the whole image.

BLY: 

This is the inner King, the one who’s down there, who decides. And when he comes in “Follow your bliss,” is what Joe Campbell said. That means that the king decides that. You don’t join IBM and then do what your boss wants you to do. That means there’s only one king in the whole thing, and that’s the boss, and everybody else is a non-king.

MOYERS: 

It’s the way the world works.

BLY: 

Yeah, it’s the way it works. That’s the way it destroys inner kings in all of the men and in most of the women. So the king, then, is that part of you that can decide. And I mean it’s very private, too, because there are various kinds of kings.

Scene 6 : Bloody Do-Gooders....

Scene 6: 

Bloody Do-Gooders

 

BRIAN:

Have I got a big nose, Mum?

 

MANDY: 

Oh, stop thinking about sex.

 

BRIAN: 

I wasn't.

 

MANDY: 

You're always on about it... 

morning, noon, and night. 

'Will the girls like this?' 

‘Will the girls like that?' 

'Is it too big?' 

'Is it too small?'

 

BRIAN: 

I was... just wondering if you thought my nose was--

 

MANDY: 

Get your filthy little mind off it!

You're forty years old, now. 

You should have grown out of all that.

 

BRIAN: 

I'm only just getting interested in it, Mum.

 

MANDY: 

It's time you got interested in a job, my lad.

 

LEPER #1: 

Spare a shekel.

 

LEPER #2:

God bless you, sir.

 

LEPER #3:

Alms for a leper.

 

LEPER #4:

Alms for a leper.

 

EX-LEPER:

Alms for an ex-leper.

 

Bloody donkey owners.

All the same, aren't they?

Never have any change.

 

Oh, here's a touch.

Spare a talent for an old ex-leper.

 

MANDY:

Buzz off!

 

EX-LEPER:

Spare a talent for an old ex-leper.

 

MANDY:

A talent?

That's more than he earns in a month.

 

EX-LEPER:

Half a talent, then.

 

MANDY:

No, go away!

 

EX-LEPER:

Come on, Big Nose.

Let's haggle.

 

BRIAN:

What?

 

EX-LEPER:

All right. Cut the haggling.

Say you open at one shekel. I start at two thousand.

We close about eighteen hundred.

 

BRIAN:

No.

 

EX-LEPER:

Seventeen-fifty?

 

MANDY:

Go away!

EX-LEPER:

Seventeen-forty.

 

MANDY:

Look. Will you leave him alone?

 

EX-LEPER:

All right. Two shekels.

Just two. Isn't this fun, eh?

 

MANDY:

Look. He's not giving you any money, so piss off!

 

EX-LEPER:

All right, sir. My final offer :

Half a shekel for an old ex-leper.

 

BRIAN:

Did you say... 'ex-leper'?

 

EX-LEPER:

That's right, sir.

Sixteen years behind the bell,

and proud of it, sir.

 

BRIAN:

Well, what happened?

 

EX-LEPER:

I was cured, sir.

 

BRIAN:

Cured?

 

EX-LEPER:

Yes, sir, a bloody miracle, sir.

God bless you.

 

BRIAN:

Who cured you?

 

EX-LEPER:

Jesus did, sir.

I was hopping along,

minding my own business.

 

All of a sudden,

up He comes. Cures me.

 

One minute I'm A Leper with A Trade,

next minute my livelihood's gone.

 

Not so much as a by your leave.

'You're cured mate.' Bloody do-gooder.

 

BRIAN:

Well, why don't you go and tell him

you want to be a leper again?

 

EX-LEPER:

Ah, yeah. I could do that, sir. Yeah.

Yeah, I could do that, I suppose.

 

What I was thinking was,

I was going to ask him if he could

make me a bit lame in one leg

during the middle of the week.

 

You know, Something Beggable, but not leprosy,

which is a pain in the arse, to be blunt.

Excuse my French, sir, but, uh--

 

MANDY:

Brian!

Come and clean your room out.

 

BRIAN: 

There you are.

 

EX-LEPER: 

Thank you, sir. Thanks-- 

Half a denarii?? For me bloody life story?

 

BRIAN: 

There's no pleasing some people.

 

EX-LEPER: 

That's just what Jesus said, sir.
