Insider Script

Lois Lane: How many "f's" in "catastrophic"?
Jason White: You're BALD!
Superman: I'm sorry I left you, Lois.
Lex Luthor: What do you know about crystals?

Lois Lane: They make great chandeliers.
Superman: [to Jason asleep in his bed] You will be different, sometimes you'll feel like an outcast, but you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.
Jor-El: [Superman is remembering Jor-El's last message to him from the first film] Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and your power are needed. Always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son.
Superman: Listen, what do you hear?

Lois Lane: Nothing.

Superman: I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior, but everyday I hear people crying for one.
Lex Luthor: This ordinary crystal is a seed, and all it needs is water. [pause]

Kitty Kowalski: Like Sea Monkeys?

Lex Luthor: [sighs] Excalty Kitty, like sea monkeys.

From this little extract we are able to tell the personalities and characters of each character. When Superman says "I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior, but everyday I hear people crying for one." Instantly we are able to recognise that he is a strong, brave and heroic person who cares about the well-fair of others.

Lois Lane: How many "f's" in "catastrophic"?, here Lois sounds intelligent and serious. We can slightly pick up that Lois Lane very smart and is a perfectionist. Through the movie, Lois is seen as a star reporter and high educated person. As well as the pictures we are able to tell this by her dialogue.

Lex Luthor and his clueless yet faithful side kick Kitty, are he evil enemies of Superman. In the short dialogue above, we cant necessarily tell that Lex Luthor and Kitty are the villains in the movie, but we can see their character and personality developing. When Lex Luthor says "[sighs]Exactly Kitty like sea monkeys". Lex Luthor sounds like a smart, yet considerate person, as even tough kitty, may not be the most intelligent person alive, Lex has feeling for her and agrees to the statement, to make her feel right and not stupid.

The writer has given, the prefect and appropriate line for all the characters, and gives the audience the opportunity to observe how they grow and develop in the movie.
