Superman: You're driven by envy, Luthor -- you couldn't be more obvious! Lex Luthor: No shit. I'm not dim. I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. 13L.

Planets with red suns. Robot #4: [immediately understanding] Oh... Superman: Because of our metabolism, we can't get drunk on a planet with a yellow sun.
