All good points, Ken. I was wondering myself about Superman getting involved so personally with one company or media outlet. It might give the Trasks of the world another gripe against him.
Lois tried to get details from Clark about what he had in mind, but he resisted telling her. He just grinned at her and said, “it is Superman’s secret and I do not tell tales on the big guy.”
And there went their engagement.
The look on Lois’ face made him consider that joke was unacceptable. He wasn‘t going to risk stepping back where Lois did not trust him.
Yep!
The search for the location and ownership of the kryptonite cage was a worry for both Lois and Clark.
Ownership?
Perry got back to Clark about what the eleven owners of the Daily Planet wanted: a total of $15 million for their interest in the paper.
Didn't they get more than that in combined pocket change after they bought their DP shares?
If all four of them kicked their money back into the pot, it would barely cover what was asked. Perry was sure that Clark would give his share back, but Jimmy and Jack would not be as reasonable.
Oh, right.
Lois asked if he always could have made that kind of money, and he assured her that he never wanted to, but he was capable of making a living by using Superman’s special abilities. And to think that she had been worried about unemployment funds being enough or running out.
Um... doesn't he have like $5million in pocket change somewhere?
It would be hard for him to stop mining at $15 million. As the orange sun arose over the area, it found a very excited man in a red and blue outfit with a cape flapping in the breezes waiting in front of the assay office to file his claim with the county.
I'm confused on why Superman is making this claim, and not Clark. Couldn't someone say he has an unfair advantage? First, it draws attention to the possiblities of Superman's powers being used for other things besides helping people. And, secondly, I think it would be bad PR.
Later that afternoon, he returned with the coal car loaded to the brim with pure, very clear gold. He took it to the office and was told it would take them overnight to weigh and grade all that he had brought. Superman told them that he would be willing to pay the office to stay open and do just that. He explained that it was a gift to a friend, and he needed to finish his mining as soon as he could.
Granted, his Clark persona would not have been able to do that.
When he returned he told Lois that he would not have to return because two days work had netted him more than $15 million he needed. That made Lois stop speaking, but her mind kept working. Superman could make that much money in that short a time? And she once upon a time thought he was a hick from Nowheresville? He excelled in all he did. WOW!
Why am I picturing $$ in her irises?
Two days later, a picture of Superman appeared in the newspaper under the title, “Saving a Friend’s Business.” The Wasilla Register had been tipped off that Superman was going to pick up a check from the assay office for $21.6 million dollars.
Not surprised about that.
The Register said he planned to save the business of a friend and donate the balance to the Superman Foundation, a non-profit that helped the less fortunate.
Yes, why couldn't the Superman Foundation... well, I guess that wouldn't be the goal of the Superman Foundation helping out people with their businesses. Yes, I see why he kept that separation from the Foundation.
It was soon estimated that they needed about 3,000 orchids to blanket the front of the church as Lois saw it. Clark assured her that would not be a problem.
That seems a bit excessive, Lois.
Lois had her dress from Gina’s and was busy sewing her something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue to the hem of her dress. She also had a six pence for her shoe.
I haven't heard of the coin in the shoe tradition, or the sewing of the old, new, borrowed, and blue items onto the dress itself. What do the coins represent?
So, I wonder, where is the cage?
