Lex Luthor:
[swimming in the pool, listening to news broadcasts about Superman]
Miss Teschmacher! Turn it off.
Miss Teschmacher:
[lying by the sunlamps]
Lex, what's the story on this guy? Do you think it's the genuine article?
Lex Luthor:
If he is, he's not from this world.
Miss Teschmacher:
Why?
Lex Luthor:
Because, if any human being were going to perpetrate such a fantastic hoax, it would have been me! Otis! My robe!
Otis:
Right away, Mr. Luthor!
Lex Luthor:
It all fits somehow, his coming here to Metropolis. And at this particular time. There's a kind of cruel justice about it. I mean, to commit the crime of the century, a man would naturally want to face the challenge of the century.
Otis:
Listen, Mr. Luthor, maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?
Lex Luthor:
[Lex gets out of the pool, and stops at the top step. Otis starts helping Lex on with the robe as the bottom of it proceeds to get soaked]
Passing through? Not on your life Otis. Which I would gladly sacrifice, by the way, for the opportunity of destroying everything that he represents. And, Otis, by the way, next time put my robe on *after* I'm out of the pool.
