Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Lex Luthor:
Now. As you may or may not know, I am as they say, very heavy into real estate. In order to make money in that game you have to buy for a little and sell for a lot. Right?
Otis:
Right.
Lex Luthor:
Right. So. Problem: how to make the land more valuable in between the time you buy it and the time you sell it.
[Luthor points to a map of California and the San Andreas Fault on the floor]
Lex Luthor:
Now this is California. The richest, most populous state in the Union.
Superman:
I don't need a geography lesson from you, Luthor.
Lex Luthor:
Oh, yes, of course, you've been there. I do forget you get around, don't you.
[chuckles; to Otis]
Lex Luthor:
Where was I?
Otis:
California.
Lex Luthor:
California. Right... the San Andreas Fault. Maybe you've heard of it.
Superman:
Yes. It's the joining together of two land masses. The fault line is unstable and shifting, which is why you get earthquakes in California from time to time.
Lex Luthor:
Wonderful. Couldn't have said it better myself.
[pointing to San Andreas fault line]
Lex Luthor:
Everything west of this line is the richest, most expensive real estate in the world: San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Everything on *this* side of the line is just hundreds and hundreds of miles of worthless desert land. Which just so happens to be owned by...
[whacks Otis on the backside]
Otis:
Lex Luthor Incorporated!
Lex Luthor:
Now, call me foolish, call me irresponsible...
[laughing]
Lex Luthor:
It occurs to me that a 500 megaton bomb planted at just the proper point would, uh...
Superman:
[concerned]
... would destroy most of California. Millions of innocent people would be killed. And the West Coast as we know it would...
Lex Luthor:
-- fall into the sea.
[gives a little wave]
Lex Luthor:
Bye-bye, California. HELLO, new West Coast. My West Coast.
[Otis ducks down and overlays map with new map]
Lex Luthor:
[reading from map]
"Costa del Lex", "Luthorville", "Marina del Lex", "Otisburg"...
[looks at Otis]
Lex Luthor:
"Otisburg"?
Otis:
Miss Teschmacher, she's got her own place.
Lex Luthor:
"Otisburg"?
Otis:
[pleading]
It's a little bitty place!
Lex Luthor:
"OTISBURG"?
Otis:
Okay, I'll just wipe it off, that's all. Just a little town.
Superman:
You're a dreamer, Lex Luthor. A sick, twisted dreamer. Your plan couldn't possibly work.
Lex Luthor:
I'll admit there were a few problems. Adjusting the precise trajectory of the missile, finding the optimum stress point for the fault line itself... which by the way is, uh, Target Zero, right
[smashes overlay of map with pointer]
Lex Luthor:
here.
