All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 04x01 - Joey

[���]

NARRATOR:
The Adventures of Superman.

Faster than
a speeding bullet.

More powerful
than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

MAN: Look! Up in the sky!
MAN 2: It's a bird!

WOMAN: It's a plane!
MAN 3: It's Superman!

NARRATOR:
Yes, it's Superman,

strange visitor
from another planet

who came to Earth
with powers and abilities

far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change
the course of mighty rivers,

bend steel in his bare hands,

and who,
disguised as Clark Kent,

mild-mannered reporter for
a great metropolitan newspaper,

fights a never-ending battle

for truth, justice
and the American way.

[���]

[���]

Is it nearly time,
grandpa?

No, we've still got
10 minutes, sweetheart.

And that can be
a long time.

Not to say goodbye
to Joey.

Well, you know, I don't
want to sell Joey

anymore than you do, Alice.

But we just have to, honey.

We have other horses
back at the farm.

Why does it have
to be Joey, grandpa?

Joey is a thoroughbred.

His father was
a great racehorse.

And Joey's gonna be
a great racehorse too.

That's what makes him
so valuable.

I don't care
if he's valuable.

I love him.

You love the old farm too,
don't ya?

It's the best farm
in the whole world.

And I wish we were
back there right now.

And everything was
like it used to be,

before those men
from the bank came.

It's not their fault
our crops dried up, honey.

Now I have to give them
a lot of money,

or they have to take
the farm.

But how can I
explain it to Joey?

He'll think we don't
love him anymore.

I think Joey understands.
Don't ya, boy?

That's all right, Joey.

You're a big horse now,

and big horses aren't
supposed to cry,

at least not too much.

[SOBBING]
Unless-- Unless--

I'm gonna have to take Joey
away pretty soon, honey.

And you don't want him
to remember you

with those big tears
in your eyes.

Goodbye, Joey.

I wasn't prepared
for anything like this

at a horse auction, chief.

You women are
too sentimental.

Come on,
I'll introduce you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Perry.

Perry White,
you old reprobate.

So you did
get my letter.

That's why
we're here, Pete.

Lois, this is Pete Thomas.

We went to school
together 40 years ago.

Pete, this is Miss Lane.

How are ya?

Perry always was popular

with the pretty girls,
Miss Lane.

Oh, excuse me.

This is my granddaughter,
Alice.

Alice, this is Mr. White.

Hello.
And Miss Lane.

Hello, Alice.

How do you do?

Well, you do all right

with pretty girls
yourself, Pete.

This is my
little darling.

You promised it would be
a long 10 minutes, grandpa.

I have an idea, Alice.

As soon as the auction
is over,

how would you like
to go shopping with me

for a beautiful new dress

with lace
and pearl buttons

and a satin belt?

No, thank you.

Joey likes me
in Levi's.

[JOEY WHINNIES]

Goodbye, Joey.

[JOEY WHINNIES]

[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

What are they
talking about?

I don't know, sweetie.

LOIS:
Chief, you didn't!

I did.

The Daily Planet
has purchased a racehorse.

And who was it said
women are too sentimental?

Grandpa, do they
own Joey now?

That's right, sweetheart.

And they're
gonna race him.

And all the money
that Joey wins

goes to a
children's charity

to help little boys
and girls just like you.

Now, isn't that wonderful?

I--

I guess so.

Joey likes children.

Well, Pete, I think
I have to be going.

I'll walk out
with you.

And I'll stop by
your office later

to make the arrangements.

Fine, fine,
Pete.

Well, goodbye,
Alice.

I'll see you later, Lois.
Right.

All right.

Goodbye.

I'll-- I'll think
of you every day, Joey.

Don't worry, Alice.

We'll take good
care of him.

I'll write you letters
all about him,

and sometimes maybe
you can pay him a visit.

All right?

I know you'll take
good care of him.

But he's gonna
miss me so much.

I'm sure he will, Alice.

[���]

Now, chief, let me
get this straight.

You mean to tell me
that the Daily Planet

actually bought
itself a racehorse?

What's wrong with
that, Mr. Kent?

Sure, we wouldn't
want to be known

as the only newspaper
without a horse.

Olsen.

Yes, sir.

Oh, uh, what
I meant was the--

No, that would only
get me into more trouble.

Let's face it, Clark.

The chief's heart of ice just
melted all over the place.

Nothing of the sort.

It would be a great promotional
stunt for the Planet.

And think of all the money
we'd be donating to charity.

Yes, provided someone's
taught that horse to run.

You know, just because
a horse has four legs

doesn't make him
a winner, chief.

Mr. Kent, I have engaged
one of the best trainers

in the country.

And he assures me
that Joey can win

the Jupiter Stake race.

I hope you remember
to tell Joey.

Oh, Clark, now you're
just being nasty.

No, Lois, just practical.

After all, horseracing
can be a good, clean sport.

But there's liable to be
a rotten apple in any barrel.

If you think there might
be some dirty work afoot,

why don't you ask Superman
to keep an eye on things?

For your information, Jim,

Superman manages
to keep pretty busy.

And he also only happens
to have two eyes.

Yeah, but what eyes!

Sometimes I wonder why Superman
picked you for a friend.

He's not afraid of anything.

You're afraid of everything.

Well, Lois, perhaps
that's the reason.

The only thing that's going
to happen in this race

is that Joey
is going to win it.

Period.

Now, if you don't mind,

we have a 50-page edition

of a metropolitan
newspaper to get out.

Y-yes, sir.

Come on, Jim.

And Mr. Kent.
Sir.

Pardon me if I'm wrong,

but don't you work here too?

Oh, yes, chief, um--

Yes?

I hope you're right too,

about Joey.

[���]

Long distance, operator.

Long distance,
give me Detroit, please.

Ambroy, six, eight,
five, two.

And make it snappy, eh?

Hello, Maury?

Luke Palmer.

Yeah. Swell.

Listen, Maury,

I wanna get a bet on
the Jupiter Stakes tomorrow.

How much can you
handle on Rover Girl?

Ten thousand?

Okay, book me.

[CHUCKLES]

Sure, she's gonna win.

So long, chump.

[DOOR OPENS]

Honey, get me Las Vegas.

Granite, five, eight,
two, six.

Hello, Homestretch Harry?

Luke Palmer.

Yeah. I wanna lay
20 grand on Rover Girl

in the Jupiter tomorrow.

[WHISPERS]
Psst. No.

Yeah, more
if you want it.

Psst. No.

Yeah, okay, Harry.
Thanks.

If you don't
stop spinning that,

you know, someday
you're gonna take off,

just like an airplane.

Luke, we got trouble.

You better cancel
them bets.

What for?

To keep out of the poorhouse.

What's the matter?

Rover Girl didn't
bust a leg, did she?

Worse.
Two legs?

Luke, the competition
has suddenly got serious.

Who's worried
about competition?

Don't forget, we got
an added little gimmick

workin' between
Rover Girl and us.

Oh, yeah?

Take a look.

Put that thing away,
will ya?

These notes are on
a horse named Joey.

He was entered an hour
ago in the Jupiter.

Works a half-mile
in less than 47?

Right.

I personally had a telescope
and a stopwatch on this animal.

And look at the ancestry.

By War King out of Sally Bee.

[WHISTLES]

Boy, this Joey really comes
from the right side

of the tracks, don't he?

Sure, some guy
by the name of Thomas

just sold him to
the Daily Planet.

The Planet?

What do they want with horses?

They just got one: Joey.

And that's all they need.

And you think maybe
this Joey might beat us

in spite of
the circumstances?

He's got a good chance

in spite of the circumstances.

And I got a fortune
bet on Rover Girl.

And I never gamble.

That is, I don't gamble if
there's any gamble involved.

So, what do we do?

So, what do we do?

You and me are gonna pay
Joey a visit tonight.

And tomorrow he ain't gonna
feel so much like running.

That's crazy, Luke.

We could get
into deep trouble.

Forget it.

We gotta take care
of this Joey.

There ain't no other way.

Hey, Luke, you think
they'll let me keep this

in the penitentiary?

Oh, come on.

[���]

Hold it.
We got company.

You know, this could
ruin my reputation.

Getting caught
sneakin' up on the horse.

Shut up and listen.

Well, if there's nothing wrong
with him like the vet said,

why doesn't he get up?

Please, Joey,

it could mean so much
to a lot of little children.

Maybe he's just tired.

No, Jimmy, he'd be
sleeping on his feet.

I'm afraid only Joey
knows the answer.

Well, whatever it is,

there goes the
Jupiter Stake Race.

And that makes Rover Girl
a lead pipe cinch.

And we don't have to do
nothin' about Joey.

Looks like he did it
all by himself.

Come on, let's blow.
Shh.

Well, all I can say, Joey,
is that little Alice

would be mighty disappointed
in you right now.

Aw, chief, you can't
blame the horse.

Wait a minute.

I think I've got it.

Chief, did you notice anything
when you said her name?

Name? What name? When?

Stand back,
I want to try something.

Oh, Miss Lane,
it won't work.

You can't hypnotize
a horse.

I know, Jim.

Just be quiet a minute.

Listen to me, Joey.

[SLOWLY]
Do you miss Alice?

Alice, Joey?

Is that who you want? Alice?

[JOEY GRUNTS]

That's it.

He's homesick
for Alice!

Well, it does
make sense, chief.

Lots of horses
have mascots,

particularly
racehorses.

Usually they're animals,
like a dog or a chicken.

But they can be people.

In this case, it is a person.

I've watched them together.

Why it's almost like they
could talk to each other.

Jeepers,
a talkin' horse.

Now what do we do?

Depends on what they do.

Well, what are we
gonna do about it?

Chief, why don't
you let me go and--

I've got it, chief.

There's just enough time
for Jim and me

to drive up to the farm.

Yeah, and bring Alice back.

Uh, that's just what
I was about to suggest, chief.

Only, you see, I could
do it without, uh--

Without what, Mr. Kent?

Well, I was just
trying to say is--

I can drive just as well
as you can, Mr. Kent.

And, besides, someone
must stay with Joey.

Someone who really
understands horses.

How they need a mascot,

how they sleep standing
up and so forth.

[SIGHS]

Okay, chief,
you win.

All right, Lois, that gives
you about 12 hours

before the race starts.

That's an hour to spare.

We'll make it.

Come on, Jim.

No chance to use this.

Not with them hangin'
around all night.

We don't have to.

You know where this
farm is, don't ya?

Sure, Green Grass County.

Okay, by using
my private plane

you can beat 'em
there easy.

Let's go.

Well, I don't know why
I'm always the one

to straighten everything out.

Good night, Mr. Kent.

Good morning, Mr. White.

[���]

Hello, Joey.

I'm Clark Kent.

Now what was it you wanted
to talk about, boy, huh?

[���]

How's the time, Jim?

Right on the button,
Miss Lane.

Are you sure
this is the right road?

Well, let's put it
this way:

if we don't come
to a bridge pretty soon,

we're lost.

Oh, golly,
we just can't be.

We'll never make it in time.

There's a man on
the road up ahead.

Why don't you pull
over and ask him.

Good idea.

Can I help you, miss?

We're looking
for the Thomas farm.

Is this the right road?

It sure is, lady.

It's about four furlongs--

I mean, it's, uh--

It's a half-mile up.

Thank you very much.

But you can't drive to it.

The bridge is out.

Oh, dear.

Well, I guess we'll have
to leave the car here and walk.

Come on, Jim.

You can't walk it either.

This is private property.

Yeah, but we're friends
of the owner, Mr. Thomas.

He don't own it anymore.

Sold out yesterday.

But that's impossible.

He sold his prize horse
to keep the farm.

I can't help it, lady.

The new owner's one of
them eccentric guys.

Don't want nobody
on his property.

Well, we'll see about that.

At least we can find out
where the Thomases went.

I don't advise it, lady.

From this point on, things get
awful dangerous around here.

Why--?

Buddy, are you
threatening us?

I wouldn't say that.

Well, I would.

Come on, Miss Lane,
let's get out of here.

Guess there's nothing
else we can do.

But I just don't
understand it.

That's life.

Just full of little mysteries.

Each day, a new adventure.

Every hour, a twist of fate.

The cracker-barrel
philosophy

and the gun just
don't go together.

Speaking about going,
where do we go?

Home, I guess, Jim.

Too late now even if
we knew where Alice was.

But what I don't understand
is why the new owners

should post an armed guard?

Clark, if we knew
the answers

we wouldn't be here
without Alice.

And if we'd asked
many more questions,

we wouldn't
be here at all.

Well, Pete knew I bought Joey
to help him save the farm.

Now I feel that
he cheated me.

I wouldn't say
that exactly, boss.

I think that maybe we're looking
at this whole thing backwards.

What do you mean?

I think it's only fair

to consider the possibility

that Pete didn't sell
the farm at all.

If he didn't, then how come
there's a new owner?

Maybe there isn't.

Which is what
I'm going to find out.

Hello, operator, will you
get me Peter Thomas

at RFD 30, Pine Road,
Green Grass Country, right?

Yes, thank you,
I'll wait.

What good will it do
anyway, Clark?

That's right.

We couldn't get Alice here
in time no matter what.

Oh, I wouldn't be
too sure of that, Jimmy.

Oh, hello,
Mr. Thomas?

Why sure, this is me,
Mr. Kent.

Well, then you, uh,
still live on the farm?

Well, tarnation, where else
you think I'd be living?

Hey, wait a minute,

is this one
of Perry's jokes?

You know, he was always
a great one for that.

Mr. Thomas, I can
assure you it's no joke.

Is Alice there?

Well, yeah, she's here.

But she's not
feelin' too well.

I'll have to explain
all this to you later.

I don't want you to leave
the house or let anyone in.

All right.
Goodbye.

[DOG BARKS]

Right now, I feel
awfully foolish.

I don't know why
you should, Lois.

You shouldn't be expected
to cope with a man with a rifle.

Kent, I have a hunch

you're thinking about
Superman right now.

Can you get a hold of him?

Yes, chief, I think I know
exactly where he is.

Jeepers, where?

Well, I can tell you
where I hope he'll be

in the next few
minutes: at the stables.

Now if you'll excuse me.

If he knew where
to contact Superman,

why didn't we follow him?

Yeah, I'd like to know
how he does that.

Could he have got
an elevator that fast?

Maybe the storeroom.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

He's not in there.

[���]

[WIND WHOOSHING]

I, uh, beg your pardon,

is this the way
to the Thomas farm?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Well, is it all right
if I go right on through?

Who cares where you go?

Beat it.
I'm sleepin'.

Well, I just thought with
the gun and everything--

Look, buddy, I don't care
who goes in there now.

I'm just waitin' for some
friends to pick me up.

Oh, I see.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hey, what's the big idea--

Oh!

Does this look
like Joey, grandpa?

Hey, that sure does.

But, sweetheart, you're
gonna have to stop

thinking of Joey.

I can't, grandpa,
I just can't.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Could that be that
Kent fellow already?

Good afternoon.

Superman!

This has sure got
the best of me.

My friend, Clark Kent,
will call a little later

and explain everything,
Mr. Thomas.

But right now,
I have a favor to ask.

May I have your permission
to take Alice with me?

Well, I reckon I can
trust a Superman.

Thank you, sir.

Alice, how would you like me
to take you to see Joey?

To see Joey?

Oh, yes, yes,
Superman.

I've missed him so much.

And he's missed you too.

Has he really?

Oh, yes, he has.
Really.

Come on, now.

You're not gonna
be frightened, are ya?

I'll just close my eyes

and think about seeing
Joey all the way.

That a girl.

Oh, goodbye,
Mr. Thomas.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

[���]

There's barely time
to get him up and saddled.

Maybe Mr. Kent couldn't
contact Superman after all.

Oh, I wouldn't
say that, Jimmy.

Joey.

Joey, I'm here.

Are you all right, Joey?

He knows me.
He knows I'm here.

Please get up, Joey.

I'll never leave you
again. Never.

[JOEY WHINNIES]

ALICE:
That's the way.

You can do it.
You can do it.

He's better.
He's all right now.

Good boy, Joey.

We knew you
could do it.

Now get out there
and win that race.

Where's Superman?

We didn't even get
a chance to thank him.

Joey can do that
by winning the race.

Can't you, Joey?

[���]

[INDISTINCT CROWD CHATTER]

[BUGLE PLAYS "FIRST CALL"]

Your attention,
ladies and gentlemen.

The horses are at the gate.

He's got to win.
He's got to.

He will,
now that I'm here.

Ah, just in time.

Where have you been?

I've been
pretty busy, chief.

But let's watch
the race, shall we?

Boss, I don't get it.

I thought you said
Joey wasn't gonna run.

That's what I said.

Wait till I get
my hands on Sully.

[BELL RINGS]
ANNOUNCER:
They're off and running.

[CROWD CHEERS]

It's Dodger breaking on top.

Lady Jane second.
Joey third.

Sir Duke fourth.
Red Apple fifth.

Rover Girl is sixth.

Passing the grandstand
for the first time,

it's Dodger on top,
Joey second,

and here comes Rover Girl.

It's Dodger,
Joey, Rover Girl.

Into the clubhouse turn,

it's Dodger,
Rover Girl and Joey.

Dodger's dropping back.

It's Rover Girl,
Joey second,

Dodger third,
Lady Jane fourth,

and Red Apple.

Going down the back stretch,

it's Rover Girl by two,

Joey second by five,

Lady Jane third,

Dodger and Red Apple.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Turning for home,
it's Rover Girl,

Joey second,

Dodger third,

Lady Jane and Red Apple.

They're into the stretch.

It's Rover Girl
on top by three.

And here comes Joey

moving up on the inside.

It's Rover Girl by two,
Joey second.

It's Rover Girl by one,
Joey second, still moving.

It's Rover Girl by
a half a leg, then Joey.

It's Rover Girl and Joey,
head and head.

At the wire, it's
Rover Girl, the winner.

Joey second,
Dodger third.

We done it, boss,
we done it.

Naturally.

I wasn't
a bit worried.

Especially with this.

He did his best, dear.

I thought he'd win...

for me.

Here comes Rover Girl
in the winner's circle now.

Jeepers, I don't
even wanna watch.

Evidently Clark does.

[���]

Excuse me, I'll see you all
back at the office.

Always was
a poor loser.

But I'll feel a lot better
when they make it official.

Relax.

It's in the bag.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

If you'll examine
that saddle,

you'll find it's wired to give
electric shocks to the horse.

It's operated by remote
control from the stands.

Oh, incidentally,

this jockey and the owners
are in the clear.

If that's true,
it's a very serious matter.

What's Superman
doing down there?

Your attention,
ladies and gentlemen,

a foul has been declared.

Superman has ruined us.

Let's get out of here.

ANNOUNCER:
Rover Girl has
been disqualified.

The new winner:

Joey.

[CHEERING]

He did it for you,
after all.

Joey's the best horse
in the whole world.

[WIND WHOOSHING]

I, um, heard about
the disqualification,

so I came right over.

And missed the excitement

by about 10 minutes,
as usual.

Well, you're just in time
to hear what I have to say.

Joey won what
I paid for him,

plus enough to make
a nice donation

to the Children's Charity.

Well, that's great, chief.

So I think he should
go right back

to his rightful owner.

Alice.

He's all yours.

Joey, did you hear
what Mr. White said?

We're gonna be
together again.

For ever and ever, just
like I promised you.
