A scene from Man of Steel 2013
General Swanwick
[Superman has taken down one of the government's surveillance satellite drones]

Are you effing stupid?

Superman

It's one of your surveillance drones.

General Swanwick

That's a $12 million dollar piece of hardware!

Superman

It was. I know you're trying to find out where I hang my cape. You won't.

General Swanwick

Then I'll ask the obvious question: how do we know know you won't one day act against America's interests?

Superman

I grew up in Kansas, General. I'm about as American as it gets. Look, I'm here to help. But it has to be on my own terms. And you have to convince Washington of that.

General Swanwick

Even if I was willing to try, what makes you think they'd listen?

Superman

I don't know, General. I guess I'll just have to trust you.

General Swanwick
[Superman flies away and the General turns to see Captain Carrie Farris grinning]

What are you smiling about, Captain?

Captain Farris

Nothing, sir... I just think he's kinda hot.

General Swanwick

Get in the car.
