A meteorite found in Addis Ababa. I know I'm gonna get rapped in the mouth for this, but so what?
So what. You mean, to us, they're just meteorites. Fair enough. But the level of specific radioactivity is so high, to anyone from the planet Krypton, this substance is lethal.
Wait a minute, Mr. Luthor. You mean, fire and bullets can't hurt this guy, but this stuff here ...
...will kill him!
Doesn't it give you, like, a shudder of electricity to be in the same room with me?
Not like the shudder you're gonna get when you try to lay that rock on him. He can see you coming for miles with those super-peepers of his.
"Oh, Lord. You gave them eyes, yet they cannot see". Nor can Superman, through lead.
He can't see through lead!
And Kryptonite will destroy him. Any questions, class?
I wonder what they're wearing in Addis Ababa?
Looks like a burnoose. [gasps] Are we going to Addis Ababa, Mr. Luthor?
[Lex, in a resigned look, shakes his head, puts his hand to his forehead and closes his eyes]
