    Kenneth Giles: [brandishing a gun] Kenneth Giles. Can I shoot you?

    George Reeves: [he sees that it's a real gun and is suddenly very serious] Kenneth, why would you want to do something like that?

    Kenneth Giles: So the bullet bounces off. Can I?

    George Reeves: Well, if you did shoot me and the bullet bounced off, it might accidentally hit someone else. We don't want that to happen, do we?
