SUPERMAN

	Then maybe I should save the courts of

	Metropolis the time -- make myself the

	judge, jury...



Superman hooks his foot under a bar on the elevator and starts

'towing' the car up the shaft at an alarmingly fast rate.

	... and especially executioner.



Luthor looks up.



LUTHOR'S POV - The fast-approaching top of the shaft -- jagged and

deadly. If his head so much as touches it, he's a dead man.



Lex panics, as the top of the shaft gets closer. Superman

nonchalantly checks the nails on his free hand.



The ceiling gets closer. Lex jams his eyes shut. Then, Superman

stops, thus stopping the car as well. Luthor's head is a half-inch

from a nasty spike. He opens his eyes slowly, looking from the

spike to Superman.



			SUPERMAN

	You're hardly worth the effort.



He drops Lex, and disappears in a burst of red.
