[Lubitsch makes a 50/50 gesture.]

On the one hand, stumbling on people - New or transplanted - that have powers and are slow enough to catch makes you rare enough you're valuable assets.

But they don't care if there's occasional "unfortunate collateral." [Air quotes]. And are blind to the fact they've got the collective intelligence of a sea sponge.

[He holds up one finger.]

One sea sponge, not even a plural.

That means they think they're smart enough to keep you under lock and key. I'd hazard a guess with space aliens and superheroes, they're wrong.

[He shakes the comic.]

They don't read enough of these.
