Assassin at an earlier time: (Laughter) Ah, Shit! Strange Signal: Yet...Four...Two...Going... 1, 3, 6, twenty five times, the Jericho mile, it's 15, 17...18 if one could possibly remember...what!? Local Observer: Today Superman jumped off a building And he couldn't fly And he couldn't fly Straight to the ground he fell You should have seen him die...oh Drunk at the end of the bar: He ate a pound of Kryptonite He ate a pound of brotherly love, baby Strange Signal: One...$.02 now...I wish it could be, if it was only there...I know Local Observer: He didn't know it was Kryptonite Superman took a dive And he hadn't He didn't know how to fight For truth, for justice, for safety of man Old Dude with paper in hand: For law and order, read all about it, Make another plan Strange Signal: 4, 6, 12 (undecipherable) no more boys Local Observer: Try Green Lantern or the Caped Crusader His Friend: But they're always out of town Local Observer: Sipping candy liquor on a Sunday beach His Friend: Yeah, they're always out of reach Local Observer: But Superman's gone, the morning papers read Drunken Englishman: No, he couldn't be! I knew he's dead! He couldn't be dead Local Observer: He's invincible and we need him in this town Roving Reported in Istanbul (televised): Uh, what will life be without Superman around? News only Channel 17: This is the latest on channel 17 news...Jimmy Olson wrote the story and Lois Lane provided the tears Paper Boy: Read all about it! Read all about it! Dick West: The start of "The Turbulent Years" (12 YEARS LATER - SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN ALASKA) Strange Signal: Uh, which one is the ground system And blowing smoke out the eyes of another And drilling two holes in the bottom of the Earth Where life could be once again Like it once was In the ice age In a kingdom long ago Without chance Without hope Without vision And therefore: Always creating the same effect Without ever knowing... ...Why
