Lex Luthor
Miss Teschmacher! Turn it off.
Miss Teschmacher
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 naturally wants to face the challenge of the century. [lost in his thoughts, and stops at the top step of the pool where his feet are still submerged]
Otis
Listen, Mr. Luthor, maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know? [enters the pool and starts helping Lex on with the robe, but the bottom of it then proceeds to get soaked]
Lex Luthor
Passing through? Not on your life. 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've left the pool.
