Donner's Superman 2

Superman II
The Richard Donner version

Scenes 337 - 340, "Balloon bustout", pt. 2

337 EXT. PRISON - NIGHT

A car is waiting with EVE in the driver's seat. LUTHOR jumps in next to her, slams the door as EVE steps on the gas. The car charges off.

338 INT. GETAWAY CAR - NIGHT

An ecstatic LUTHOR gives EVE a kiss on the cheek, but she is clearly not happy, her old guilts settling in.

LUTHOR
Well done, Miss Teschmacher.

EVE
(stony-faced - glum)
Why am I doing this? Why am I here?

LUTHOR
Is this a philosophy seminar? No. This is a getaway.

EVE
After all you haven't meant to me, why am I back with you? I must be a masochist.

LUTHOR
I'll tell you what you are.
(patronizing smile)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful when you drive.

339 EXT. ROADS - NIGHT

The car moves rapidly down the back roads.

340 INT. CAR - NIGHT

LUTHOR
How would you like to take a little vacation? I mean, you've earned it, you know? You deserve it.

EVE
(brightening)
There is some good in you, Lex, after all.

LUTHOR
You'll have to pack quickly.

EVE
(getting into it)
A bikini! I'll need to buy a new bikini, Lex.
(suggestively)
C'mon. After being cooped up in that prison, haven't you thought about me in a bikini... once maybe?

LUTHOR
(flatly)
A parka.

EVE
You thought about me in a parka. That's sick, Lex. Really.

LUTHOR
(settling back)
North! He reaches under his coat, pulls out the black box, sets it on his lap, pets it.

LUTHOR
We're going North, Miss Teschmacher.
