A scene from Superman (1978)
Lex Luthor
[Lex Luthor, Miss Teschmacher and Otis are reading a newspaper article titled "I SPENT THE NIGHT WITH SUPERMAN"] [referring to Superman]

Now then...given the location of the galaxy that he mentions, in proximity to our own solar system...it's amazing. AMAZING! But too good to be true!

Miss Teschmacher

It's too good to be true! He's 6'4", has black hair, blue eyes, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and tells the truth!

Lex Luthor

Miss Teschmacher, some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

Miss Teschmacher

Lex, what has chewing gum got to do with the secrets of the universe?

Lex Luthor
[sighs]

Right, Miss Teschmacher. Right.
