43. Excuse me.Copy !req
44. Say thank you.Copy !req
45. Wow!Copy !req
46. Way to go, Superman!Copy !req
47. Your drink is on its way.Copy !req
48. Sir.Copy !req
49. Excuse me...Copy !req
50. but what if you wanna program two
bilateral coordinates at the same time?Copy !req
51. You can't do that. It's impossible.Copy !req
52. But if you can't—
- Oh, no.Copy !req
53. Computer technology is very advanced,
young lady, but it can't do that.Copy !req
54. But if you think we can't
do it that way, what happens—?Copy !req
55. Sir.Copy !req
56. Good Lord.Copy !req
57. How did you do that?Copy !req
58. I don't know. I just did it.Copy !req

82. You've got mustard on your lapel.Copy !req

I hate to interrupt—Copy !req

89. I promised I'd call them back today.
What do you think?Copy !req
90. - Well, I don't know, Kent—
- I think it'd make a terrific story.Copy !req
91. What's a terrific story?Copy !req
92. Kent's been invited
to his high-school reunion.Copy !req
93. - Say.
Yeah.Copy !req
94. Could we have the next number?Copy !req
95. It's practically an
American institution. Isn't it?Copy !req
96. I don't know, Mr. Kent. Most of
the people I know are still in high school.Copy !req
97. Thirty-three.Copy !req
98. What I thought this story
would be about, Mr. White, is—Copy !req
99. Thirty-three.Copy !req
100. —is how much the typical small town
has changed in the last 15 years.Copy !req
101. Take me, for example:Copy !req
102. Can I really go back to middle America
now as a Metropolis sophisticate?Copy !req
103. I'm really excited about this.
In fact, I was looking around...Copy !req
104. in my closet last night...Copy !req
105. and I even found
my old high-school sweater.Copy !req
106. - Smallville.
- Mr. White.Copy !req
107. Can I go ahead
and make my travel plan?Copy !req
108. Same question about mine.Copy !req
109. Tell your people the prodigal son
and his photographer are coming home.Copy !req
110. Oh, gee, thanks, Mr. White.Copy !req
111. It isn't easy for me to lose
one of my best reporters.Copy !req
112. - That's okay.
- You deserve the vacation, Lois.Copy !req
113. Thank you.Copy !req
114. Lois, are you going someplace?Copy !req
115. Clark, you know some people
get to go all the way to Smallville...Copy !req
116. and then there are others of us
who have to go to Bermuda.Copy !req
117. Golly.Copy !req
118. Bye.
Bye, Miss Lane.Copy !req
119. - Have fun.
- Mr. White, the next number, please.Copy !req
120. Well, I guess I better be going too.Copy !req
121. So I'll be going.Copy !req
122. Bye.Copy !req
123. Couldn't we get a computer to do this?Copy !req
124. - Hey, what is this?
- First paycheck.Copy !req
125. This is the first rip-off, man! We're
supposed to get 225 a week, right?Copy !req
126. This says, "$143.80."
How am I supposed to live on that?Copy !req
127. State tax, federal tax,
social security tax—Copy !req
128. It's so you're still getting
some money when you hit 65.Copy !req
129. So I'm getting money when l—? 65?Copy !req
130. I want mine now!Copy !req
131. I want to enjoy it while I'm young.
I wanna get up and get down. Boogie.Copy !req
132. Actually, it's probably more like
$143.80 and one half cent.Copy !req
133. There are always fractions left over,
but big corporations round it down.Copy !req
134. What do I do with half a cent?
Buy a thoroughbred mouse?Copy !req
135. Everybody loses those fractions?Copy !req
136. They don't lose them.
You can't lose what you never got.Copy !req
137. Then what happens?
The company gets them?Copy !req
138. They can't be bothered collecting that
from your paycheck any more than you.Copy !req
139. Then what happens to them?Copy !req
140. Well, they're just floating around out there.
The computers know where.Copy !req
141. How many sugars?Copy !req
142. One and a half.Copy !req
143. It's quitting time, Gus. You coming?Copy !req
144. Yeah. No, actually, I got some
stuff to finish up, so...Copy !req
145. Working overtime, huh? What are you
doing, buddy? Looking for a raise?Copy !req
146. Yeah, looking for a raise.Copy !req
147. You bet.Copy !req
148. But my Uncle Al on my father's
side, he won't eat her stuffing.Copy !req
149. He says it should be cooked on the outside.
She cooks it on the inside.Copy !req
150. My mother told my Aunt Helen.
She's my father's half sister.Copy !req
151. - I told you that, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
152. - And anyway, the family—
- Hey, hey.Copy !req
153. - Look at that.
Wow.Copy !req
154. Okay, your choice:
You can turn back or pull over till it's over.Copy !req
155. - How long will it take?
- Can't tell with these fires.Copy !req
156. I mean, that fire—
That's spreading like wildfire.Copy !req
157. It's just a building burning.Copy !req
158. It's not just a building.
That's a chemical plant.Copy !req
159. You know what I mean.
It's like— It's like chemicals.Copy !req
160. If any of that stuff goes up in smoke,
we're in for a hairy time around here.Copy !req
161. - Clark.
- Yeah?Copy !req
162. I want you to keep
these people distracted.Copy !req
163. What are you doing?Copy !req
164. What am I doing?
Remember what the chief said?Copy !req
165. A photographer always
goes after a story.Copy !req
166. That could be dangerous, Jimmy.Copy !req
167. Danger goes with the territory,
Mr. Kent.Copy !req
168. Help me!Copy !req
169. - How can I help?
- Get this man a helmet.Copy !req
170. - It's you. Forget the helmet.
- How bad is it?Copy !req
171. My God, it's a nightmare. Everything's
either explosive or flammable or worse.Copy !req
172. Get the ladder truck in here.Copy !req
173. - It won't reach.
- My God, they're trapped!Copy !req
174. What's he gonna do?
Fly them down one at a time?Copy !req
175. Let's go! Everybody,
down there! Move it!Copy !req
176. Come on! Hurry up!Copy !req
177. There you go.Copy !req
178. Right down there. Take it easy.Copy !req
179. All right. Everybody down there!Copy !req
180. Keep moving!Copy !req
181. Sir, get out. I'll show you
the quickest way.Copy !req
182. Go on. Look after the others.
I can't leave.Copy !req
183. - Why not?
- I gotta stay and look after those.Copy !req
184. That's concentrated Beltric acid.Copy !req
185. If that stuff heats up over 180 degrees,
we've got a crisis...Copy !req
186. that'll make this fire
look like a picnic.Copy !req
187. What does it do?Copy !req
188. As long as it remains stable,
it's just ordinary acid.Copy !req
189. But if it begins to heat up,
it'll turn volatile.Copy !req
190. You'll get a great cloud of smoke
that will eat through anything.Copy !req
191. Steel, concrete, anything.Copy !req
192. Who the hell is that?Copy !req
193. Hey, you! Get off of there!
- I'm just gonna get a couple more shots.Copy !req
194. Ow! Ah!Copy !req
195. Tell them to bring their hoses
back here! Quickly!Copy !req
196. Help!Copy !req
197. Help! Help me!Copy !req
198. Help! Somebody help me!Copy !req
199. - Help!
- It's all right.Copy !req
200. - Superman! My leg.
- I got you. Take it easy.Copy !req
201. All right. We'll go nice and easy.Copy !req
202. Okay, I'm sorry.
All right? Here we go.Copy !req
203. Medics! Over here, please.Copy !req
204. That's it. Here you go.Copy !req
205. Go easy. It's the left leg.Copy !req
206. - My camera.
- Yeah.Copy !req
207. It's a clean break right across the fibula.Copy !req
208. - My camera.
- Sorry, Jimmy. You'll be okay.Copy !req
209. Get that fire out, otherwise there'll be an
acid cloud all over the Eastern seaboard.Copy !req
210. The pump house is gone!
What?Copy !req
211. The pump house!
- We've lost the water pressure!Copy !req
212. - We've got to have water!
- How?Copy !req
213. Lake Comooga's five miles from here.
We'd need a five-mile hose!Copy !req
214. - Where's this lake?
- That way.Copy !req
215. Tell them it's hopeless.Copy !req
216. You told me we had
an adequate water supply.Copy !req
217. Water!Copy !req
218. I tell you, that man's a miracle!Copy !req
219. Carol, you got gorgeous!Copy !req
220. Look at you.Copy !req
221. That was against Mid-City.
I'll never forget it.Copy !req
222. Fourth quarter, score was tied...Copy !req
223. we're back at the 25-yard line.Copy !req
224. Coach sends in a play,
Right Flanker Option.Copy !req
225. You really have grown, Clark.Copy !req
226. You look very well, Miss Bannister.Copy !req
227. I can't complain. I take the stairs
a little slow and I have these spells.Copy !req
228. But really, I can't complain.Copy !req
229. Lana?Copy !req
230. Clark?Copy !req
231. Would you excuse me? There's someone
I'd really like to say hello to.Copy !req
232. Lana?Copy !req
233. - Lana Lang? It's great to see you.
- Clark.Copy !req
234. - You look wonderful.
- Me? No, you look—Copy !req
235. - Let me give you a hand with that.
- No, no. I can manage.Copy !req
236. Uh...Copy !req
237. This is the first time you've come back
since your mom passed away.Copy !req
238. Yeah. I'm sorry.Copy !req
239. I heard that you and...Copy !req
240. - ... Donald split up.
Did you eat yet?Copy !req
241. No.Copy !req
242. Beg your pardon. Excuse me. Sorry.Copy !req
243. - That's not right.
- No?Copy !req
244. You're right about Donald and me,
but— Hold this, okay?Copy !req
245. Oh, sure.Copy !req
246. Hi, Kent.Copy !req
247. Hi. How you doing?Copy !req
248. I'm sorry. I'm going nuts. Thanks.Copy !req
249. - Clark.
- Yeah.Copy !req
250. Lana.Copy !req
251. Uh-oh. Um...Copy !req
252. Hey, sweet.Copy !req
253. Here I am.Copy !req
254. Remember when you were prom queen?
All these guys were waiting for a dance?Copy !req
255. There's only one guy on your
dance card now. Huh, honey?Copy !req
256. - That's good old—
- Brad Wilson.Copy !req
257. - Hi, Brad.
- Hi, Kent.Copy !req
258. Long time no see.Copy !req
259. You know, see, see, see?Copy !req
260. - Come on, Lana.
- No, I can't.Copy !req
261. - Clark already asked me.
- I did?Copy !req
262. - Yeah.
- Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
263. Lana, I haven't danced—Copy !req
264. Ah, Gorman.
Another week, another check.Copy !req
265. Don't you have another one for me?
I put in a voucher for expenses.Copy !req
266. What?Copy !req
267. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
268. Here you go.Copy !req
269. Ooo...Copy !req
270. Thanks for helping me out.Copy !req
271. You kidding? A lot of guys
would like to be where I am.Copy !req
272. You'd be surprised at how many
offers I didn't get.Copy !req
273. Even Brad wouldn't stick around.Copy !req
274. It really isn't easy.Copy !req
275. The streamers?
Yeah, you just pull, and—Copy !req
276. No, not the streamers. Everything.Copy !req
277. Not that I'm complaining.
It's just that...Copy !req
278. I don't know why,
I just feel like I can talk to you.Copy !req
279. What?Copy !req
280. I feel like I can talk to you!Copy !req
281. - You can?
- Yes.Copy !req
282. - You know something, Lana?
- What?Copy !req
283. I always...Copy !req
284. I always wished that you would.Copy !req
285. I mean, even back in high school.Copy !req
286. - Remember when you were—?
- Queen of the prom.Copy !req
287. Then three years after the royal wedding,
the king abdicated.Copy !req
288. - isn't that terrible?
- Yeah, sure is.Copy !req
289. There must be a gallon
of potato salad left over.Copy !req
290. You know what the problem is?Copy !req
291. I don't know, too much mayonnaise?Copy !req
292. Donald loved mayonnaise.
Why would that be the problem?Copy !req
293. No, the problem is,
why do I stay in Smallville?Copy !req
294. Believe me, I've asked myself that.Copy !req
295. Do you know how lucky you are
to live in Metropolis? The Big Apricot.Copy !req
296. Well, Lana, you could—Copy !req
297. Easy to say. But how?
What about Ricky?Copy !req
298. - Ricky?
- My little boy.Copy !req
299. - You? Oh, that's great.
- Yeah.Copy !req
300. I mean, at least here we have a house
and I've got a job that pays the bills.Copy !req
301. Except for last winter when
the fuel bills kept going up and up.Copy !req
302. Yeah. Even had to pawn
my diamond ring then.Copy !req
303. That's a shame.Copy !req
304. You never got married?Copy !req
305. - Me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
306. Well, I was—Copy !req
307. No. Not...Copy !req
308. You know, years later you can
look at someone and think:Copy !req
309. "Well, I guess that's
the one that got away."Copy !req
310. Give me that again, old buddy.
Run it by me just one more time.Copy !req
311. - Eighty-five thousand dollars.
- Missing?Copy !req
312. Embezzled, Mr. Webster.
Stolen from the firm.Copy !req
313. By whom?Copy !req
314. That's what I want to know.
By whom? Whom?Copy !req
315. Vera, get ahold of yourself.Copy !req
316. Nobody else ever will.Copy !req
317. I don't know.Copy !req
318. Whom?Copy !req
319. In the old days it was simple.Copy !req
320. We kept books, we knew what was
going in and what was paid out.Copy !req
321. If somebody wanted to rob you...Copy !req
322. they'd come in with a gun and say,
"Stick them up."Copy !req
323. Now they get blasted computers
to do their dirty work.Copy !req
324. My old friend, you are yesterday.Copy !req
325. Whoever pulled this caper is tomorrow.Copy !req
326. Mr. Webster,
it's time for your massage.Copy !req
327. Does this woman
have the right to burst in—?Copy !req
328. Now, now, Vera. Simpson,
you know my psychic nutritionist?Copy !req
329. - Hello.
- We are trying to hold a meeting here.Copy !req
330. Why don't you hold your breath instead.
Maybe you'll turn blue.Copy !req
331. - lmprovement.
- I'm about to take a human life.Copy !req
332. Simpson, would you excuse us
for a second, please?Copy !req
333. - Mouths closed. Ears open.
- She's a big pig.Copy !req
334. I can't have anyone with me
who isn't with me.Copy !req
335. Now, girls.Copy !req
336. Simpson.Copy !req
337. Well, old chum. What now?Copy !req
338. Kiss the 85 thou goodbye?Copy !req
339. Keep on paying the thief his salary
until he shakes the money tree again?Copy !req
340. - He's bound to slip up sooner or later.
- Why?Copy !req
341. That's what they always say
in the movies.Copy !req
342. He won't slip up at all. No, not at all.Copy !req
343. He'll keep quietly taking
the bread from our mouths.Copy !req
344. He'll keep a low profile and won't
do a thing to call attention to himself.Copy !req
345. Unless, of course, he is
a complete and utter moron.Copy !req
346. I'll go first. Andrew.Copy !req
347. I'll pick Chris.
You feel good? You feel ready?Copy !req
348. LANA
Ricky, your shoe.Copy !req
349. - You mean, we've gotta take Ricky?
- You guys lost the toss.Copy !req
350. All right, come on, Ricky.Copy !req
351. Wait, wait—
- Come on, good luck.Copy !req
352. - I just can't stand this.
- Oh, Lana. It'll be okay.Copy !req
353. I know, I was a late bloomer myself.Copy !req
354. It's not just that he's small, he's
the only kid in town without a father.Copy !req
355. Oh, look. He's stewed to the gills
in the middle of the afternoon.Copy !req
356. - Gee, all he had was chocolate milk.
- No, him.Copy !req
357. Hey, sweet thing.Copy !req
358. Little kid getting hassled, huh?Copy !req
359. - Kent, you still here?
- I seem to be, Brad.Copy !req
360. All he needs is a few pointers
from the old champ here.Copy !req
361. I won the all-country bowling
trophy two years in a row.Copy !req
362. I didn't know that.Copy !req
363. Yeah. Natural athlete
can play any sport.Copy !req
364. Brad, you're just gonna
make it worse.Copy !req
365. - It's all right. It'll be okay.
- He'll make it worse.Copy !req
366. You watch, he'll get a spare.Copy !req
367. Come on, Ricky.Copy !req
368. Hey, kid, you're holding it all wrong.Copy !req
369. - Let old Brad show you how it's done.
- Brad.Copy !req
370. Excuse me. Say, Brad, I think maybe
he'll be better off doing it his way.Copy !req
371. For a guy lucky to be waterboy,
you've got a big mouth.Copy !req
372. I don't think he needs a lesson
in front of the other kids.Copy !req
373. - He needs a man to show him.
- He's doing just fine. Excuse me.Copy !req
374. Here you go, Ricky.Copy !req
375. And give it your best shot.
Okay? There you go.Copy !req
376. Sorry.Copy !req
377. Ah-choo!Copy !req
378. Gesundheit.Copy !req
379. Thank you.Copy !req
380. Hey, Gus, the boss wants to see you.Copy !req
381. He can see me all right.
Hello, Mr. Lewis.Copy !req
382. No, not that boss. The boss.Copy !req
383. - You mean, the boss...
- Yup.Copy !req
384. - ... wants to see me?
- Yup.Copy !req
385. Oh, my God,
why would he wanna see me?Copy !req
386. I mean...Copy !req
387. Why would the boss wanna see me?Copy !req
388. There's no reason.Copy !req
389. Then why'd he—? Oh, I know!Copy !req
390. It's my suggestion
for the volleyball uniforms.Copy !req
391. That's it.Copy !req
392. Ross the boss.
Ross the boss. The boss!Copy !req
393. Be calm. Be cool. Be collected.Copy !req
394. Mr. Webster? Mr. Webster?Copy !req
395. Mr. Webster, I did not— Mr. Webster.Copy !req
396. Mr. August Gorman?Copy !req
397. August Gorman here.Copy !req
398. I know you're a man of compassion,
and I don't wanna go to jail...Copy !req
399. because they have robbers
and rapists—Copy !req
400. I just wanna ask you one question.Copy !req
401. You've been a naughty guy,
haven't you?Copy !req
402. Come on, admit it now.Copy !req
403. You've been just a little bit naughty,
haven't you?Copy !req
404. - I was kind of—
- That's all right. I understand.Copy !req
405. I can— What do
the young folks say today?Copy !req
406. "Dig where you're
coming from, brother."Copy !req
407. - You wanna be rich, right?
- How, wha—Copy !req
408. I was born rich. Never worn
the same pair of socks twice.Copy !req
409. What do you do with your socks?Copy !req
410. I don't know. They're laundered and sent
to some charitable institution, I think.Copy !req
411. Actually, I don't know.
Maybe they turn them into dust rags...Copy !req
412. or pen-wipers or something.Copy !req
413. Or maybe socks.Copy !req
414. Yes! That never occurred to me.Copy !req
415. Gus, you know something?
You're a genius.Copy !req
416. A naughty genius, but what the hell?
Nobody's perfect, right? Cheers.Copy !req
417. Because of the half-cent thing
with the computers.Copy !req
418. No, no, because computers
rule the world today.Copy !req
419. The fellow that can fool the computers
can rule the world himself.Copy !req
420. I've been searching for somebody
who can make these machines...Copy !req
421. do what they're not supposed to.
Get my drift?Copy !req
422. Yes!
- Gus...Copy !req
423. Webscoe, the Webscoe industrial
complex, is a family-owned cartel.Copy !req
424. Some magnesium here,
some zinc there.Copy !req
425. Railroads, farm machinery.
You follow me?Copy !req
426. I follow you, sir.Copy !req
427. - Gus, do you know what I want now?
- No.Copy !req
428. I want coffee.Copy !req
429. All right. Black, cream, sugar, or—?Copy !req
430. No, you don't seem to understand.Copy !req
431. Under different company names,
I control the price of coffee beans...Copy !req
432. in Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia,
Jamaica and the Republic of Gabon.Copy !req
433. But I've got a problem and I think
maybe you can help me.Copy !req
434. One country won't play ball with me.
You know how that can bug a guy, right?Copy !req
435. That could bug— What country?Copy !req
436. - Colombia.
- Colombia?Copy !req
437. Colombia has two important exports,
and one of them's coffee.Copy !req
438. And I've tried to reason with them.
Believe me, I've tried.Copy !req
439. But this one miserable,
pissant little country...Copy !req
440. has the gall to think it can dictate
the economy of an open market. Gus.Copy !req
441. Gus, my friend...Copy !req
442. we're going to teach them
a lesson, aren't we?Copy !req
443. Destroy the entire
Colombian coffee crop...Copy !req
444. right down to the last bean.Copy !req
445. - The last bean, we are.
- Right.Copy !req
446. But you got so much. You know, like—Copy !req
447. A wise man once said,
I think it was Attila the Hun:Copy !req
448. "It is not enough that I succeed.Copy !req
449. Everyone else must fail."Copy !req
450. Seems fair.Copy !req
451. - Gus.
- What?Copy !req
452. You are going to do this for me.Copy !req
453. - How?
- The weather.Copy !req
454. You didn't say your mother was here.Copy !req
455. I'm his sister. His baby sister.Copy !req
456. Gus, tell me, have you ever
heard of Vulcan?Copy !req
457. Hi, Ms. Vulcan.Copy !req
458. Vulcan is the weather satellite
our government put up...Copy !req
459. to monitor the weather.Copy !req
460. But if somebody were to reprogram it,
it could do much more.Copy !req
461. It could make weather.Copy !req
462. Storms and floods.Copy !req
463. Blizzards, heat waves.Copy !req
464. How do you do that?Copy !req
465. Like everything else
in the 20th century, Gus.Copy !req
466. You push buttons.Copy !req
467. - There you go.
- It's the first time I won anything.Copy !req
468. You won my hand, Maury.Copy !req
469. But this is the first time
I won anything valuable.Copy !req
470. Let's get one with the sombreros.Copy !req
471. Mr. White, you'll be in this,
handing them their plane tickets.Copy !req
472. - Why do I have to do this?
- Why do I have to do this?Copy !req
473. You're lucky I didn't fire you.
I get a chance at exclusive photos...Copy !req
474. of history's biggest factory fire.Copy !req
475. He comes home with a broken leg
and 12 melted rolls of film.Copy !req
476. It was hot.Copy !req
477. Smile, Mr. White.Copy !req
478. South America!
I can't believe my luck!Copy !req
479. See, if you don't want them
to trace it back...Copy !req
480. you've gotta punch in
to some little rinky-dink outfit...Copy !req
481. that has a little
Mickey Mouse computer—Copy !req
482. Someplace you can sneak into, right?Copy !req
483. Somebody could—Copy !req
484. Someplace where nobody knows him
so they can't connect him with us.Copy !req
485. Webscoe has 112 subsidiaries.Copy !req
486. They're all linked into
the central computer system.Copy !req
487. How about someplace...Copy !req
488. small?Copy !req
489. Smallville. This is Smallville.
We'll have a five-minute stop here.Copy !req
490. Mind your step.Copy !req
491. Watch your step, please.Copy !req
492. Thanks, Selma.Copy !req
493. Thanks a lot, Lana.
Have a good day, now.Copy !req
494. Let me help you, Lana.Copy !req
495. I'm sorry.Copy !req
496. - Thanks, Clark.
- Sit down, Buster. Good boy.Copy !req
497. Come on, Buster, sit down.
That's a good boy.Copy !req
498. Okay. You all set? Great.Copy !req
499. Wow.Copy !req
500. I'm not saying another word.Copy !req
501. That's it. Okay?Copy !req
502. Jesus Christ!Copy !req
503. Don't they have picnics in Metropolis,
Mr. Kent?Copy !req
504. Well, not quite like this, Ricky.Copy !req
505. - Mom and I do this all the time.
- You do?Copy !req
506. - I'll help you.
- Stay close by and be careful, okay?Copy !req
507. Okay, Mom.Copy !req
508. Come on, Buster. Let's find you
a rabbit. Come on. Rabbit.Copy !req
509. - This is so nice for him.
- Here you go.Copy !req
510. It's even nicer when there's a man around,
which isn't that often.Copy !req
511. - There's a lot of choices.
- The good ones are married.Copy !req
512. That's why Brad thinks
he's God's gift to women.Copy !req
513. He won't take no for an answer,
but he's the only one asking.Copy !req
514. No, Lana, I meant
there's a lot of choices here.Copy !req
515. This is really quite some picnic.
There's...Copy !req
516. some of that.Copy !req
517. Green stuff.Copy !req
518. Hey, pâte.Copy !req
519. Boy, this pâte is really unusual.Copy !req
520. I didn't make any— Oh, Clark.Copy !req
521. That's Buster's dog food.Copy !req
522. - It's good.
- Don't eat it!Copy !req
523. What time's the dog eat?Copy !req
524. - This is nice.
- Here.Copy !req
525. It's all right, Lana.Copy !req
526. Thanks.Copy !req
527. Hey, where you going? Come on!Copy !req
528. Buster, stop messing about!Copy !req
529. - How much longer—?
- I was just thinking—Copy !req
530. - I'm sorry. No, go ahead.
- No. You.Copy !req
531. Well...Copy !req
532. I was just thinking that...Copy !req
533. somebody like you
could do really well in Metropolis.Copy !req
534. I suppose I have to face it. I'm not gonna
find what I want in Smallville anymore.Copy !req
535. Could I make it in Metropolis?
What would I do when I got there?Copy !req
536. Call me.Copy !req
537. - No, I wouldn't wanna call you.
- You don't wanna call me?Copy !req
538. Yes, I wanna call you, but I wouldn't
wanna be a nuisance to you.Copy !req
539. I don't think you could ever
be a nuisance to me, Lana.Copy !req
540. Clark, may I tell you something?Copy !req
541. My oil pan is leaking.Copy !req
542. See? There's something dripping.Copy !req
543. - Can I give you a hand?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
544. With all the car trouble I have,
I studied up on auto repair.Copy !req
545. Look at this.Copy !req
546. Oh, boy.Copy !req
547. Lana, I think I'll just go see
if Ricky's all right. You okay?Copy !req
548. Yeah.Copy !req
549. Gosh, is he all right?Copy !req
550. Hi.Copy !req
551. Superman?Copy !req
552. That's me.Copy !req
553. Mom! Mom!Copy !req
554. There you go. He's all right,
but have a doctor check him.Copy !req
555. Thank you.Copy !req
556. - I'm Lana Lang. This is Ricky.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
557. And this is Clark.Copy !req
558. I really have to be going.
So long, Ricky. Bye.Copy !req
559. We were flying, Mom!Copy !req
560. What were you doing, anyway?Copy !req
561. I was looking for Buster.Copy !req
562. - Buster! Buster!
I found him!Copy !req
563. Come on, boy. That's it.Copy !req
564. Mr. Kent, Superman was here!Copy !req
565. - What?
- Yes, he really was.Copy !req
566. Aren't you excited?Copy !req
567. I'm from Metropolis.
I see Superman every day.Copy !req
568. You do? Could you get me
his autograph?Copy !req
569. I don't know. If I had a nickel
for every time some little kid...Copy !req
570. Yeah? What do you want?Copy !req
571. We're in big trouble, aren't we?Copy !req
572. - What?
- We're in big trouble.Copy !req
573. First, they lost the invoice.Copy !req
574. When they found it, they realized
they came up short on a few items.Copy !req
575. So I rented a car because I missed the
plane from Cleveland. 4:00, you know.Copy !req
576. And a flat tire on the highway.
What a kicker.Copy !req
577. Had to fix it myself
with these little pinkies.Copy !req
578. And I figured your boss was gonna be
real peeved, you know what I mean?Copy !req
579. What do you mean?Copy !req
580. He is going to hang our butts
against the wall.Copy !req
581. He wanted this special order installed...Copy !req
582. in his office no later
than tomorrow morning.Copy !req
583. Let me in because
I gotta set it up tonight.Copy !req
584. Get all what set up?Copy !req
585. Pal, you are a real lifesaver.
I mean, a real lifesaver.Copy !req
586. - Which way's the office?
- Straight on ahead.Copy !req
587. - Follow me.
- I'm right behind you.Copy !req
588. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
589. Not bad. It's pretty good.Copy !req
590. You know what's wrong with
this Singapore wing?Copy !req
591. Sling! Singapore Sling.Copy !req
592. What's wrong with it?Copy !req
593. There's not enough vodka in it.Copy !req
594. There's no vodka in it!Copy !req
595. What did I tell you?
Put some vodka in it.Copy !req
596. What did you—? You know.Copy !req
597. - Yeah.
- There's vodka in it now, buddy.Copy !req
598. Yeah, perfect.Copy !req
599. - You never do pass out, do you?
- Nope.Copy !req
600. Never.Copy !req
601. Job well done, buddy.Copy !req
602. You thought I was drunk too,
didn't you? Ha, ha.Copy !req
603. Fooled you.Copy !req
604. Get the keys, get the keys.Copy !req
605. Somebody's drunk.Copy !req
606. Hello, baby!Copy !req
607. How's the little baby?Copy !req
608. Okay.Copy !req
609. All right, let's get down to it.
Let's do it.Copy !req
610. One, two, button your shoe.Copy !req
611. "Both keys at the same time"?Copy !req
612. Whoa.Copy !req
613. Wait. Wait a minute.Copy !req
614. Think you've won, don't you?Copy !req
615. The Philly Flash!Copy !req
616. Okay, ready?Copy !req
617. One, two, three!Copy !req
618. Yeah. Now we'll see what we'll see.Copy !req
619. Oh.Copy !req
620. Oh...Copy !req
621. Oh.Copy !req
622. Come on, please.Copy !req
623. There it is!Copy !req
624. Hello! Now...Copy !req
625. getting down to business.Copy !req
626. I am a genius.Copy !req
627. I am a...Copy !req
628. Longitude...Copy !req
629. and the other thing. Latitude, right?Copy !req
630. Oh, look, Maury. A native wedding.Copy !req
631. No one said at the Daily Planet
that this was the rainy season!Copy !req
632. Meteorologists are baffled
by the tornado and rainstorms...Copy !req
633. that struck the country
of Colombia this afternoon...Copy !req
634. threatening to destroy the nation's
entire coffee crop for the next five years.Copy !req
635. Gale-force winds up to...Copy !req
636. an incredible 250 miles an hour
lashed the countryside...Copy !req
637. while 12 inches of rainfall have
already been recorded in just one day.Copy !req
638. A spokesman for the Department of
Meteorology said this was, I quote:Copy !req
639. "The most awesome display of
natural forces since Noah's ark."Copy !req
640. If I laugh any harder, I'll split my sides!Copy !req
641. —to defy all laws of
weather systems known to science.Copy !req
642. What a shame.Copy !req
643. Poor little Colombia. Well...Copy !req
644. I'm gonna get you for that,
you big silly!Copy !req
645. Bubba, do you realize what we're on to?Copy !req
646. Do I?Copy !req
647. Every time a drunk sobers up,
he'll drink Webster coffee.Copy !req
648. Why stop at coffee?Copy !req
649. A cup of coffee gets the world
off to work in the morning.Copy !req
650. But what keeps the world working?Copy !req
651. Diet soda?Copy !req
652. Vera, you mean...? You mean—?Copy !req
653. Today, coffee.Copy !req
654. Tomorrow, the oil!Copy !req
655. - Oil?
- if Gus can push the right buttons—Copy !req
656. I can have it all. Holy cats!Copy !req
657. All the oil.Copy !req
658. All the pumps.Copy !req
659. All the tankers.Copy !req
660. This is some nifty idea, Vera.Copy !req
661. Boss?
Very nifty.Copy !req
662. - Just the man I want to see.
- Boss, it is not my fault.Copy !req
663. Isn't it neat? There—Copy !req
664. - What's not your fault?
- Superman.Copy !req
665. How was I to know he was
gonna start doing his thing...Copy !req
666. when you started doing your thing?Copy !req
667. What are you talking about?
- What am I talk—?Copy !req
668. It was just on television, man.
Didn't you see it?Copy !req
669. Don't call me "man."Copy !req
670. I just saw Colombia
bite the dust. That's all.Copy !req
671. You didn't see the man come flying out
of the sky from the clouds? It was him!Copy !req
672. With his cape flapping in the—Copy !req
673. His cape was flapping in the wind!Copy !req
674. He was flying! He was great!Copy !req
675. He was just flying around...Copy !req
676. His cape was blowing in the wind
like this. It looked like a flag!Copy !req
677. And he landed right in the middle
of this big plantation!Copy !req
678. And he checked everything out
with his x-ray vision.Copy !req
679. And then he put these laser beams
out of his eyes onto everything.Copy !req
680. straight-out laser points.Copy !req
681. Dried up everything!Copy !req
682. Just like that!Copy !req
683. I'm talking about drying it up,
like machines in the men's rooms.Copy !req
684. You know what I mean?Copy !req
685. Hot air comes out when you put
your hands under.Copy !req
686. Sometimes they don't work, right?Copy !req
687. But Superman's worked!Copy !req
688. You think he stood around
to take bows? Not this man.Copy !req
689. No, sir. He flies off again. Right?Copy !req
690. Then he saw what
really caused the trouble.Copy !req
691. He flew into the tornado...Copy !req
692. went down to the bottom of it,
and turned it upside down!Copy !req
693. He made the little end on top
and the big end on the bottom!Copy !req
694. I was gonna go crazy!Copy !req
695. I've never seen nothing like it.Copy !req
696. The big end was on the bottom.Copy !req
697. Little end on the top.Copy !req
698. Mr. Ross, it was— The big...Copy !req
699. Superman's bad.Copy !req
700. I'll say he was.Copy !req
701. I mean, he was bad!Copy !req
702. No.Copy !req
703. No!Copy !req
704. Here, let me help.Copy !req
705. - It was a perfect plan. It was foolproof!
- And we were the fools.Copy !req
706. It's not my fault.
I did what I was supposed to do.Copy !req
707. He ruined it.
That lousy do-gooder ruined it.Copy !req
708. Now that he's pulled off this stunt,
he'll try and ruin my oil scheme too.Copy !req
709. - I've got to get rid of him.
- How?Copy !req
710. Shoot him? You know
about him and bullets.Copy !req
711. - Kryptonite.
- What?Copy !req
712. Or krypton-ham, or krypton-heimer?Copy !req
713. I forget what you call it,
but it's stuff that can hurt Superman.Copy !req
714. - How would you know about that?
- I know a few things.Copy !req
715. I know, from the graffiti I saw.Copy !req
716. Wait a second.Copy !req
717. She's right.Copy !req
718. Kryptonite. I remember reading
about it in an interview with him.Copy !req
719. Where does it come from?Copy !req
720. The same planet Superman
came from: Krypton.Copy !req
721. Where is Krypton?Copy !req
722. It's nowhere.Copy !req
723. It blew up in space, years ago.Copy !req
724. They sent Superman here from there
when he was just a baby.Copy !req
725. I know some things too.Copy !req
726. Wait a minute. You know
what happens when a planet explodes.Copy !req
727. - Debris. Things floating in space.
So?Copy !req
728. So all we have to do is find out
where in heaven Krypton used to be.Copy !req
729. Then we get good old Gus
to contact the Vulcan satellite.Copy !req
730. Old Gus has been doing some thinking.Copy !req
731. Good. That's why I keep you around.Copy !req
732. Yeah. I've been thinking that I'm not
making enough money for this gig.Copy !req
733. Gus, if there's anything I hate...Copy !req
734. it's greed.Copy !req
735. Greed? Mr. Ross, just a minute.Copy !req
736. Let me tell you something.Copy !req
737. I can't ski!Copy !req
738. Once Gus contacts
the Vulcan satellite...Copy !req
739. he orders it to search
through space...Copy !req
740. around where Krypton
went bye-bye.Copy !req
741. Then the laser probe locks
on to a floating chunk of Kryptonite.Copy !req
742. The computer analyzes
the components...Copy !req
743. and the boys at the lab
duplicate the stuff down here.Copy !req
744. "Unknown"?Copy !req
745. "Unknown"?Copy !req
746. What the hell,
he ain't gonna smoke it.Copy !req
747. Mr. White can't be responsible.Copy !req
748. Where is he?Copy !req
749. Please, Mr. Stokis.Copy !req
750. He'll pay for this.Copy !req
751. Get out your wallet!Copy !req
752. Good morning.
Don't you "good morning" me.Copy !req
753. "Old, old relationships
suddenly seem very much the same.Copy !req
754. The prettiest girl in the school—"Copy !req
755. —is still the prettiest girl
in the school.Copy !req
756. - Hello?
Hello. Oh, hi, Clark.Copy !req
757. Lana! Hi, I was just
thinking about you.Copy !req
758. Oh, um...Copy !req
759. Listen, I have a problem with Ricky.Copy !req
760. Why? What happened to Ricky?Copy !req
761. It's Superman's autograph you got him.
He got carried away...Copy !req
762. and told the kids Superman
was coming on his birthday.Copy !req
763. Okay, it was wrong...Copy !req
764. but when Wednesday comes and
Superman doesn't show, it's gonna...Copy !req
765. Well, Lana, in this case I think
I can go ahead and speak for Superman.Copy !req
766. I mean, he and l
are pretty close, you know.Copy !req
767. And you can tell Ricky that Superman
will be there on Wednesday, all right?Copy !req
768. Well, he's gonna get the best
home-cooked meal he's had...Copy !req
769. in a long time.Copy !req
770. - Tell Superman we think he's wonderful.
- All right.Copy !req
771. - But, Clark...
- Yeah?Copy !req
772. you're the best.Copy !req
773. And I'll take it to
the Supreme Court if I have to.Copy !req
774. But it wasn't our fault.
It was an act of God.Copy !req
775. In a church?Copy !req
776. Hey!Copy !req
777. Here's that compound you ordered.Copy !req
778. Can't imagine what you want with it.Copy !req
779. But you got it.Copy !req
780. What the hell am I afraid for?
I'm from Earth.Copy !req
781. Lana, I really wasn't expecting all this.Copy !req
782. I guess they did get
a little carried away.Copy !req
783. Superman, we all know...Copy !req
784. that you're not looking
for honors and awards.Copy !req
785. But when we heard that you were
coming to see your pal Ricky...Copy !req
786. we realized that this was
our chance to say thank you.Copy !req
787. First, for putting out
the Lake Comooga fire.Copy !req
788. And not least,
for saving little Ricky.Copy !req
789. So since you already have
the key to our hearts...Copy !req
790. Superman...Copy !req
791. may I present you
with the key to the city.Copy !req
792. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
793. Thank you.Copy !req
794. As you were.Copy !req
795. Now listen up.Copy !req
796. I just came in directly...Copy !req
797. from the Pentagon...Copy !req
798. and you better believe there's
a damn good reason that I did.Copy !req
799. Because God has given us...Copy !req
800. one of the greatest gifts in the world:Copy !req
801. Chemicals.Copy !req
802. Now, you people, you like to go sit
in church on Sunday, don't you?Copy !req
803. You like to sit and watch
the Super Bowl.Copy !req
804. Yeah.Copy !req
805. Sit on what?Copy !req
806. You sit on molded, plastic seats!Copy !req
807. Molded to your well-fed behinds.Copy !req
808. Now, I don't have to tell you
that America leads the world...Copy !req
809. in high-grade plastics.Copy !req
810. We cannot afford
a chemical-plastics gap.Copy !req
811. Now, listen to me.Copy !req
812. Do you want...Copy !req
813. our president of the United States
sitting down...Copy !req
814. to write a peace treaty...Copy !req
815. and have his ballpoint pen bust open...Copy !req
816. and the ink run out all over
his nice, clean pants...Copy !req
817. in front of the world leaders?Copy !req
818. No. No.Copy !req
819. Now, we all know...Copy !req
820. that last week, half of
this great nation of ours...Copy !req
821. almost bit the bullet...Copy !req
822. if it wasn't for this man here.Copy !req
823. And all I can say is,
thank the Lord for Superman.Copy !req
824. Superman, you saved our bacon...Copy !req
825. and I'd like to show our gratitude.Copy !req
826. This is a small token
of our appreciation...Copy !req
827. to show to you for saving us
from a chemical-plant disaster.Copy !req
828. Thank you very much, general.Copy !req
829. This is very nice. Thank you.Copy !req
830. It's very nice.Copy !req
831. Unknown. How am I supposed
to know what "unknown" means?Copy !req
832. It means unknown. It means
nobody knows what it means.Copy !req
833. - Hello, boss?
Gus?Copy !req
834. - Gus Gorman here.
- I know that. How did it go?Copy !req
835. You know how they're always
trying to find the secret recipe...Copy !req
836. in that chicken in the bucket?Copy !req
837. And nobody seems to know
the ingredient...Copy !req
838. because it's unknown, right?Copy !req
839. In the Kryptonite there was an unknown
element and Superman didn't die.Copy !req
840. He didn't die.Copy !req
841. I ask you to kill Superman...Copy !req
842. and you're telling me you couldn't
even do that one simple thing.Copy !req
843. Hello?Copy !req
844. He hasn't had
an afternoon nap for years.Copy !req
845. This is the biggest day of his life.
I don't know how to thank you.Copy !req
846. You did with that wonderful lunch.Copy !req
847. Oh, well, I do like to cook.Copy !req
848. - You'll take some coffee?
- Yes, please.Copy !req
849. - Decaffeinated, of course.
- Right.Copy !req
850. Hello? Yes.Copy !req
851. What?Copy !req
852. Oh, really?Copy !req
853. Yeah, he's here.Copy !req
854. I'll tell him.
Okay, thanks. Bye-bye.Copy !req
855. Superman, that was my friend Betty.Copy !req
856. There's an accident on the bridge.
A trailer crashed through the rail.Copy !req
857. It's hanging off the bridge
and the driver's in the cab.Copy !req
858. I'm sorry.
I hate to make you rush off.Copy !req
859. Well, there's no rush.Copy !req
860. - But the bridge—
- It's okay. I always get there on time.Copy !req
861. Come on, let's relax a little.Copy !req
862. It's unusual finding a good-looking girl
like you alone like this.Copy !req
863. Listen, are you sure you shouldn't
do something about the bridge?Copy !req
864. What bridge?Copy !req
865. You're right.Copy !req
866. I have to get going.Copy !req
867. Get him out of there. Come on.Copy !req
868. Get him out! Get him out quick!Copy !req
869. Come on. Get him away.
That thing's gonna go.Copy !req
870. Everybody okay? Joe?Copy !req
871. What can I do to help?Copy !req
872. Not much of anything now.Copy !req
873. If only you'd got here
a minute sooner.Copy !req
874. "At a special session
of the General Assembly...Copy !req
875. 178 countries voted
to censure Superman...Copy !req
876. with only Colombia abstaining."Copy !req
877. I can tell you one thing.Copy !req
878. He wasn't so mean and nasty
the other day in Smallville.Copy !req
879. In fact, he was so full of niceness...Copy !req
880. I hated laying that big chunk of...Copy !req
881. Kryptonite. Don't you see?Copy !req
882. That stuff we ran off in the lab
wasn't a complete failure after all.Copy !req
883. Right after Gus gave it to him,
he started to turn into...Copy !req
884. an ornery, evil, malicious, selfish—Copy !req
885. - A normal person.
- Yes.Copy !req
886. And now that Superman
is out of the nice-guy business...Copy !req
887. We can get to work on that oil.Copy !req
888. And now, the supreme
moment, as the last runner...Copy !req
889. the one given the great honor
of lighting the ceremonial flame...Copy !req
890. runs the last leg of a marathon
that began seven days ago...Copy !req
891. as this torch has been passed
from athlete to athlete...Copy !req
892. for 970 miles...Copy !req
893. across the country.Copy !req
894. How can he say that pure categories
have no objective meaning...Copy !req
895. in transcendental logic?
What about synthetic unity?Copy !req
896. Hi, honey! Am I in your way?Copy !req
897. - Stick around, you may learn something.
- Hi, Lorelei.Copy !req
898. All the oil tankers in the world
are totally controlled by computers.Copy !req
899. They tell them where to go,
how much oil to pick up...Copy !req
900. and where to deliver it.Copy !req
901. Don't they have captains
on these ships?Copy !req
902. Yes, but they don't need them.Copy !req
903. That's a throwback to some
sentimental, seafaring baloney.Copy !req
904. You will command the tankers
to sail toward a 50-mile area...Copy !req
905. in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.Copy !req
906. And do what?Copy !req
907. And do nothing.Copy !req
908. Just sit there.Copy !req
909. How are all the people
gonna get their oil?Copy !req
910. You catch on fast, old buddy.Copy !req
911. Every oil pump in America is run by—Copy !req
912. - Computers. I know.
- Will you stop interrupting?Copy !req
913. I'm sorry.Copy !req
914. You will command the pumps
to stop pumping.Copy !req
915. Then I want you to program
one special command...Copy !req
916. into all these systems.Copy !req
917. Tell them these orders
are irreversible.Copy !req
918. So it would be impossible
for anybody to switch them back.Copy !req
919. Can you do this for me, old buddy?Copy !req
920. Old pal?Copy !req
921. You know, you get your way
all the time.Copy !req
922. And it's not right.Copy !req
923. I wanna know when I get a taste.Copy !req
924. I think you've already had
a taste of freedom, haven't you?Copy !req
925. Or would you prefer jail?Copy !req
926. You can't run that jail number on me.Copy !req
927. Because I know I mean more to you
out here doing things for you...Copy !req
928. than sitting in jail
doing nothing for nobody.Copy !req
929. I see.Copy !req
930. What do you want?Copy !req
931. What? A wastebasket?Copy !req
932. No. These are plans.Copy !req
933. Blueprints.Copy !req
934. - For what?
- A computer.Copy !req
935. - We've already got computers.
- No, not like this.Copy !req
936. There's not a computer like this
in the whole world anyplace.Copy !req
937. It doesn't exist. You see...Copy !req
938. we have to build it.Copy !req
939. What will it do?Copy !req
940. Anything I tell it.Copy !req
941. What will it do for me?Copy !req
942. For you? It will do anything you
tell me to tell it to do for you.Copy !req
943. Wow.Copy !req
944. Tell me.Copy !req
945. First of all, if anyone attacks
this machine or anything...Copy !req
946. the computer counterattacks it.Copy !req
947. I mean, it finds their weaknesses
and wipes them out.Copy !req
948. Right, old buddy.Copy !req
949. You deal with my oil
and I'll build you your machine.Copy !req
950. Okay, I'll do it.Copy !req
951. But I'm not so sure about
this irreversible business.Copy !req
952. They all kind of went—
What the hell?Copy !req
953. That's it. The last tanker.Copy !req
954. They're all mine now. All mine.Copy !req
955. Yay.Copy !req
956. Not quite.Copy !req
957. What's that in
the upper-middle quadrant?Copy !req
958. It's a tanker.Copy !req
959. And it's going the wrong way.Copy !req
960. Skipper?Copy !req
961. There it is again.
"Proceed immediately to...Copy !req
962. latitude 30 north, longitude 45 west.Copy !req
963. There await further orders."Copy !req
964. Hell, that's the middle of the Atlantic.Copy !req
965. I'm not taking my ship there
just to await further orders...Copy !req
966. no matter what that says.Copy !req
967. We're supposed to go to Metropolis,
and we're going to Metropolis.Copy !req
968. All right.Copy !req
969. That's where she is. Yeah.Copy !req
970. Come on, get it up there.Copy !req
971. Miss?Copy !req
972. Miss, can you hear me?Copy !req
973. Listen, we are here to help you.Copy !req
974. Don't jump. I repeat, do not jump!Copy !req
975. Thought you'd never get here.Copy !req
976. Don't expect me to save you.
I don't do that anymore.Copy !req
977. Don't worry.Copy !req
978. I'm long past saving.Copy !req
979. Well...Copy !req
980. don't let me keep you
from anything.Copy !req
981. I'm not in a rush.Copy !req
982. What did you have in mind?Copy !req
983. Lots of things.Copy !req
984. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
985. Ooo...Copy !req
986. If you'll just do me
one little favor first.Copy !req
987. What's that?Copy !req
988. Well...Copy !req
989. See, there's this little boat...Copy !req
990. and it's not going where
it's supposed to go and...Copy !req
991. Stop all engines!Copy !req
992. Stop all engines!Copy !req
993. Hi.Copy !req
994. How about a little après-ski?Copy !req
995. Champagne?Copy !req
996. Take your turn like everybody else!Copy !req
997. Stop it!Copy !req
998. He's coming over here, Martha.Copy !req
999. Don't you do that!Copy !req
1000. Don't! Please!Copy !req
1001. Hit him with your handbag!Copy !req
1002. Help me! Please, help me.
Somebody's beating up my husband.Copy !req
1003. - I've gotta call the police.
- Jack, go with her, okay?Copy !req
1004. The third one today,
and at night it's worse.Copy !req
1005. Somebody's behind this.Copy !req
1006. You can't tell me there's no oil.Copy !req
1007. You can't say someone's
not getting rich off this.Copy !req
1008. Someone's always getting rich.Copy !req
1009. You know who suffers? The small guy.Copy !req
1010. The East Coast gets
the brunt of the spill.Copy !req
1011. No, I cannot go out with you tonight.Copy !req
1012. No. I'm busy tomorrow night too.Copy !req
1013. Oh, yeah? Doing what?Copy !req
1014. I'll think of something. Look...Copy !req
1015. - ... I gotta go. Ricky needs me.
- Lana.Copy !req
1016. Brad, please stop calling me.
I've told you!Copy !req
1017. Well, you listen to me, huh?Copy !req
1018. You better start appreciating old Brad.Copy !req
1019. What else you got in Smallville?Copy !req
1020. What else have I got in Smallville?Copy !req
1021. I think I got the right answer.Copy !req
1022. So do l.Copy !req
1023. Smallville Airport, what flights
do you have to Metropolis tomorrow?Copy !req
1024. - Where do I put this?
- Over there.Copy !req
1025. - Where do you want this?
- Put it up there.Copy !req
1026. Are you kidding? I'm not going in there.Copy !req
1027. Hey, hey. Come on.Copy !req
1028. Just leave him alone.Copy !req
1029. I can't get through.
Something's happening.Copy !req
1030. Hey, look! Superman's drunk!Copy !req
1031. - I wanna see what's happening here.
- Ricky. Ricky!Copy !req
1032. - Ricky.
- Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
1033. - Thank you.
- It's a disgrace, that's what it is.Copy !req
1034. I'll tell you, nobody's ever
gonna trust that creep again.Copy !req
1035. He's washed up.Copy !req
1036. What are you looking at? Huh?Copy !req
1037. Excuse me. Superman? It's me, Ricky.Copy !req
1038. Ricky from Smallville.Copy !req
1039. Tell them you won't hurt anybody!Copy !req
1040. He's changed.Copy !req
1041. No! Maybe he's just sick.Copy !req
1042. Superman, please get better!Copy !req
1043. He's not listening to you.Copy !req
1044. Yes, he is. He can hear me.
He's got super-hearing.Copy !req
1045. Superman, you're just in a slump!Copy !req
1046. You'll be great again!Copy !req
1047. You can do it, Superman!Copy !req
1048. superman, you can hear me, can't you?Copy !req
1049. superman, you're just in a slump.Copy !req
1050. You'll be great again.
You can do it, superman.Copy !req
1051. superman, you can hear me, can't you?Copy !req
1052. He's gone nuts!Copy !req
1053. Come on!Copy !req
1054. I can give as good as I get.Copy !req
1055. Oh, yeah? All right, come on! Come on!Copy !req
1056. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
1057. What's the matter, Kent?
Too warm for you, huh?Copy !req
1058. Come on, chicken! Come and get me.Copy !req
1059. You've been on my nerves a long time!Copy !req
1060. You always wanted to fly, Kent.Copy !req
1061. Now's your chance.Copy !req
1062. Skipper!Copy !req
1063. God, would you look at that!Copy !req
1064. Miss Lorelei Ambrosia
isn't at home right now.Copy !req
1065. But if you'd care to leave a message...Copy !req
1066. why not deliver it to her in person?Copy !req
1067. so you've finally shown
your true colors.Copy !req
1068. Well, if you're looking for us,
here's where you'll find us.Copy !req
1069. Do drop in.Copy !req
1070. Wow, this is fun!Copy !req
1071. Fun? The fun's just starting.Copy !req
1072. Wait till Superman finds us,
then you'll see some fun.Copy !req
1073. Wait, you gonna mess with Superman?Copy !req
1074. Let's go. I want to be ready for him
when he falls into our trap.Copy !req
1075. I just don't see why you can't
balloon down like the rest of us.Copy !req
1076. Well...Copy !req
1077. No way.Copy !req
1078. I just don't believe a man can fly.Copy !req
1079. Watch out, horsy!Copy !req
1080. Don't, don't, don't.Copy !req
1081. Just don't try to fly.Copy !req
1082. Don't try to fly!Copy !req
1083. Will you get out of my way!Copy !req
1084. - Hurry! Hurry up!
- I am hurrying.Copy !req
1085. I can't see anything.
Turn on the light.Copy !req
1086. Where's the light switch?
Where do you usually find it?Copy !req
1087. I don't know.
I guess I'll check the doorway.Copy !req
1088. God, it's pitch-black in here.
Oh, that's better.Copy !req
1089. Wow, what a jukebox!Copy !req
1090. I told you, didn't l?Copy !req
1091. There. The ultimate computer!Copy !req
1092. It does everything a computer can do
and 1000 things none of them can do.Copy !req
1093. Let's give it a dry run.Copy !req
1094. Wait a minute.
We've gotta wait for Gus.Copy !req
1095. Who needs Gus?Copy !req
1096. - He's the only one who can operate it.
Like fish he is!Copy !req
1097. I know enough about computers
to put a Ph.D. to shame.Copy !req
1098. Come now, brother dear,
you didn't think...Copy !req
1099. I was gonna let that little man
run the show, did you?Copy !req
1100. Why don't peons tidy up
when they're done?Copy !req
1101. Come on, Bubba, it's showtime.Copy !req
1102. Engage those buttons
to activate the alpha circuit...Copy !req
1103. and lock the modular grid.Copy !req
1104. You! Activate circuits 29 through W-7...Copy !req
1105. and start full-power coordinates
on exterior defensive systems.Copy !req
1106. In other words, push this red button.Copy !req
1107. How did you know about that?Copy !req
1108. He's here!Copy !req
1109. Good. Let's give him
something to worry about.Copy !req
1110. Now, let's see...Copy !req
1111. Tracking systems locked.Copy !req
1112. Let the games begin.Copy !req
1113. Don't tense up now, honey.Copy !req
1114. Come on, Bubba,
you're wasting your rockets.Copy !req
1115. Come on, Superman!Copy !req
1116. Let him have it, Ross.Copy !req
1117. Bubba, keep firing.Copy !req
1118. Keep him occupied
while I get the MX ready.Copy !req
1119. What the hell is going on?Copy !req
1120. You keep your rockets coming.
He won't notice the missile till too late!Copy !req
1121. So much for your catlike reflexes.Copy !req
1122. Oh, God!Copy !req
1123. Ha, ha!Copy !req
1124. No more. Look, you sit.Copy !req
1125. Sit, sit!Copy !req
1126. Help!Copy !req
1127. Hello? Forget you, jackass!Copy !req
1128. That's him out of the way.Copy !req
1129. Sis, how would you like to control
all the world's weapons systems?Copy !req
1130. Baby!Copy !req
1131. It's Daddy!Copy !req
1132. Hey, what are you doing with my baby?Copy !req
1133. Gus, old buddy, genius.
Come up and join the fun.Copy !req
1134. He's still coming.
Arm the inner defenses.Copy !req
1135. All right, the game's over.Copy !req
1136. Hi, honey.Copy !req
1137. I don't know you, lady.Copy !req
1138. But the other night...Copy !req
1139. I'm sorry, but that wasn't me.Copy !req
1140. That guy's gone.Copy !req
1141. And you're next, Webster.Copy !req
1142. Never underestimate
the power of computers.Copy !req
1143. How do you like it?Copy !req
1144. I think it's typical
of people like you, Webster.Copy !req
1145. Instead of helping others, the four
of you just wanna help yourselves.Copy !req
1146. Four of you?Copy !req
1147. You mean, us? Four? Wait—Copy !req
1148. Hey, man!Copy !req
1149. That's only his last name.
He likes to be called "Superman."Copy !req
1150. See, I'm not with them, Superman.Copy !req
1151. You could've fooled me, mister.Copy !req
1152. That's very good.Copy !req
1153. Let's see how long
he can carry on without any air.Copy !req
1154. He's still coming!
He's going to get me!Copy !req
1155. Don't bet on it!Copy !req
1156. You're hurting him.Copy !req
1157. - That's Kryptonite!
Yes.Copy !req
1158. - This time we got it right!
- You're a genius.Copy !req
1159. You've invented a machine
that can find anybody's weak spot.Copy !req
1160. Congratulations, old buddy.Copy !req
1161. You'll go down in history
as the man who killed Superman!Copy !req
1162. I'm— No.Copy !req
1163. Superman!Copy !req
1164. No!Copy !req
1165. Where do you think you're going?
Never mind.Copy !req
1166. Turn the power up.
Hasn't he had enough?Copy !req
1167. Turn it up!Copy !req
1168. Power! More power!Copy !req
1169. Whoa!Copy !req
1170. Ow!Copy !req
1171. Seventy-five. Current 7.75.Copy !req
1172. There's a current level of 7
that is not supposed to be on bar—Copy !req
1173. Oh, here it is!Copy !req
1174. What's going on?Copy !req
1175. I don't know. The power's gone.Copy !req
1176. Gus must have pulled the plug out.Copy !req
1177. It worked.Copy !req

Does your boss have a computer here?Copy !req
