All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 06x07 - The Big Forget

[���]

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 1: 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.

[���]

I did not faint.

After all, I'd been awake
almost 48 hours.

I was tired.
I fell asleep.

That's right,
Jimmy.

And when you woke up,
you wrote a fine story.

How about that?

Superman rescues us,
captures the crooks,

and Miss Lane and I get
another scoop.

As easy as that.

Oh, I'm glad you think
it was that easy.

Incidentally, Kent,

where were you
when all this was going on?

Oh, chief, now, you know that.
Yesterday was my day off.

Well, I'm sure glad
it wasn't Superman's day off.

It will be a sorry day
for you and Olsen

if Superman ever
takes a day off.

You two couldn't
do a thing

for yourselves
without his help.

Except maybe get
yourselves killed.

Suppose we did

a real front-page
story.

There's no use discussing it.
It's just not possible.

Would it be worth a little
raise in the pay envelopes?

Like that $10 you promised us
two years ago?

PERRY:
I promised you
a raise?

Yes, you did.
Which we never got.

If we got the story
without Superman's help,

how about
that raise?

Oh, I suppose so.

Okay. You heard him, Clark.
Let's go, Jim.

Just a minute.

I have a right to
protect my own interests.

I want to see this great
story from its formative stages.

You mean, you're gonna work
with them on the story?

That's precisely
what I mean.

It just happens that
I used to be a pretty good

working-man's
reporter myself.

[MUMBLES]
Oh, brother.

What did you say?

Oh, ha. Uh, nothing--
Nothing at all, chief.

But if you are gonna work
with us on this story,

you've got to
promise one thing.

I've got to promise you?

Miss Lane's right, chief.
I mean, Mr. White.

This time you're gonna
have to promise

to let us run the show.

[LAUGHS]
I'm afraid they've
got you, chief.

You've made yourself a deal.
You're stuck with it.

Well, that's settled. Let's
get our campaign started.

Sure, Miss Lane.

And, uh, you keep yourself
in readiness.

We may be needing you.

You know, it's
easy enough to say

we'll get
a front-page scoop.

But...where do
we start?

I don't know, Jim.

What about, uh--

Oh, maybe getting
the goods

on a real big-time
lawbreaker?

That's risky,
but it's good.

What do you have
in mind?

Well, who would you say
is the biggest crook in town?

Mugsy Maples,
I guess.

You're absolutely right.

LOIS:
Mugsy Maples has
committed more crimes

than any other crook
in the history of Metropolis,

and the law still can't
catch up with him.

Maybe we can.

Well, Knuckles,
did you do like I said

with that nosy reporter
from the Gazette?

I sure did, Mugsy.

Right now he's taking
a bath in the river.

Can he swim?

Not unless he can swim with
two cement blocks on his feet.

Well, that's what
he gets

for snooping around here
after a story.

If there's one thing
I don't like,

it's nosy people.

Especially
newspaper reporters.

Me too.

Well, Professor Pepperwinkle,
how are you, sir?

It's been a long time

since you've dropped in
to see me, sir.

Oh, it has? That's odd.

I don't remember
we ever met before.

Ha. Won't you
sit down, sir?

Oh, yes, yes.
Thank you. Thank you.

Now, tell me...

have you perfected
any new inventions lately?

Oh, yes. Yeah--

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

This.

What's that, uh,
dinosaur powder?

Uh, no, no. That's
anti-memory vapor.

Ah.
One whiff

and you can't remember
anything that's happened

in the last 15 minutes.

Ha-ha. And it's guaranteed
to work every time.

Have you tried it?
Oh, yes, yes.

But, uh, that didn't
prove anything.

[LAUGHS]

You know, I've got such
a bad memory,

how could I tell?

But I, uh-- I thought
you might, uh, test it for me.

It-it-it-- It's
quite harmless.

Well, now, I wouldn't mind,
you understand,

but I'm afraid
I might be immune to it.

However, there's Lois Lane
and Jimmy Olsen.

Oh, they're in
Mr. White's office.

Do you remember where that is?
No.

It's just around the corner.
Let me show you.

Oh, yes.
Right around the corner.

Here's your--
Oh, thank you.

There we go.
To your left, sir.

Thank you, thank you.
Straight ahead.

[CHUCKLES]

The fact is,
you haven't turned up

any kind of a story
since our little deal.

Well, we're
working on it.

In fact, we expect a break
any minute now.

[KNOCK
ON DOOR]

Professor
Pepperwinkle.

As I say, I don't remember
how I came to invent it,

but I know that it works.

Wait a minute,
professor,

this is a brand-new
conversation.

You just
came in.

Ooh, so I did.
So I did.

Well, anyway, if you'll just
let me squish it at you--

No!

--you won't remember
anything that happened

in the last 15 minutes.

You mean that--?
Anti-memory vapor.

Preposterous.

Yes, indeedy.

Uh, would anyone
like to, uh, test it?

No. Don't squish it on me.

I'll tell you what
we'll do, professor...

Leave it with me,
I'll have it tested.

Give you a full report.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Anti-memory vapor.
Oh, man.

Well, he's
a little eccentric,

but some of his inventions
have worked in the past.

And every time
any one of them did work,

they caused nothing but trouble
for everybody concerned.

And got us
a good story every time.

You mean, if this gizmo
really works,

we might get
another story?

Well, sure. Just like
the one on Mugsy Maples.

PERRY:
I forbid it.

You're not gonna fool around

with any goofy inventions
or Mugsy Maples.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, chief,
remember the agreement.

No interference.

Oh, it's this sitting around
not doing nothing

that's getting
me down, Mugsy.

We ain't been able
to pull a decent caper

since last September.

I know, I know.
But something will turn up.

I got a sneaking hunch

our luck's gonna change
real fast.

Hey, do you
really think so?

Why, sure, it always--

Hey, wait
a minute, you.

Wait a minute.

Where do you think
you're going, huh?

Oh, a wise guy.

Now, look, when I ask
you a question,

I want a respectable
answer, understand?

Hello? Hello?

[LOUDLY]
My battery must be dead.

You mean, you don't know
what I'm saying to you?

Yes, it is nice
weather.

Now, listen to me,
you little weasel--

Don't you see, Knuckles,
he can't listen to you.

Now, lay off of him,
will you? He's harmless.

MUGSY:
Now, like I was saying,

I got a hunch our luck's
gonna change real soon.

As a matter
of fact,

I been thinking about
a little job we might pull--

Ixnay, boss. Ixnay.

Don't spill nothing
in front of strangers.

Will you relax?
He can't hear us.

Ah, you made me forget wha--
Oh, yeah. This is the--

The job.
The job I been casing.

There's a finance-and-loan
company

that's always got about 50,
60,000 bucks in their safe.

Hey, that sounds
pretty good.

Uh, what's the name
of the outfit?

It's the Acme Loan Company,

on the corner
of 13th and Broadway.

Fourteenth and Broadway.

Oh, yeah, thanks,
that's right.

Wait a minute.

What are you
trying to do?

So you been
faking, huh?

Let me at him. I'll
find out what he's up to.

[SCREAMS]

MUGSY:
Okay, nosy,
you gonna come clean,

or do we cut you down
and let you fall?

No. I'll talk.
Wanna talk?

Don't cut that rope.
Let me in.

Now, you come
clean first.

Now, tell us, what are you doing
listening to our conversation?

I'm trying to get a...

story for
the Daily Planet.

A reporter.

All right, come on
in here, you.

Get down there.

Who do you think
you are, anyhow?

What are you trying
to pull?

Hey, you know what Mugsy
does with reporters?

He doesn't do
anything to me.

One whiff of
this anti-memory vapor,

and you won't remember
I came in here.

Hey, boss, dig him.
Anti-memory vapor.

Yeah, it's true.
Watch. I'll prove it to you.

Whose office is this?

What's this?

What am I doing
in these clothes?

He's faking again, boss.
Let me knock him off.

No, no,
wait a minute.

Maybe the stuff in
that can is for real.

Here, let me have it.

It's a good thing
we got this left over

from the time we used tear gas
in that bank holdup.

Hey, cut it out, boss.
That stuff might be dangerous.

It didn't kill him.
Now, hold still.

Where am I?

Hey, boss, what are you doing
with that gas mask on?

And who is this guy
over here?

[CHUCKLES]

You mean, you really
don't remember him?

I don't even remember
coming in here.

Neither do I.

Lucky for you, you don't.
Now, scram out of here.

Yes, sir.

Oh.

Goodbye, now.
Whoever you are.

Case you wondered
why I turned him loose,

he can't do us
no damage.

Whatever he heard us talking
about, he don't remember.

Well, uh, what was
we talking about?

I don't remember,
neither.

Really?

That means this anti-memory
vapor really works.

And that means
we're gonna get away

with the perfect crime.

Not just one,
but dozens of them.

Yeah?

We're gonna rob every
big-money outfit

in this town, starting with
the Acme Loan Company,

and working right up
to the national banks.

And if there are
any witnesses,

we just give 'em
one whiff of this,

and they won't remember
what we look like.

They won't even remember
there was a robbery.

Hey, that's
pretty good.

Yes, sir, Knuckles,

with this anti-memory vapor,

we're really
gonna go to town.

Yes, sir. It-- H--

There's only one hitch.

What's that?
It's empty.

Pff.

How do you like that?

Hey, boss, wait a minute.

There's something written
on the bottom of this thing:

"Professor
J.J. Pepperwinkle,

64 Hope Street,
Central, 42768."

Here, let me have that.

What are you
gonna do, boss?

What do you think
I'm gonna do?

Here, hold that,
will you?

[PHONE RINGING]

[CLEAR THROAT]

Uh, Professor, uh-- Uh--

Oh, yes, yes.

Uh, uh, Pepperwinkle speaking.

Uh, professor, this is
Dr. Horatio Maples, uh--

Me and my colleague,
Dr. Nelson,

is wondering
if you have any more

of your anti-memory
vapor available.

Oh, uh, yes, yes, I--
I'm sure I have another can.

Uh, just a moment.

[SNIFFS]

Mm. Whipped cream.

Ah. Hm.

[GROANS]

[SPITS]

Shaving cream.

Oh. Uh-- Uh--

Yes? Yes, I just found it.

Now, if you'll tell me
where you are,

I'll bring it to you
right away.

No, no, no, no,
don't bother.

We'll pick you up
on the way to the job.

The job? Uh, what job?

Well, you see,
like I was saying, uh,

me and my, uh, colleague
is doctors,

and, uh, we wish to use
your marvelous vapor

to make sad people
forget things

they don't wish
to remember.

Splendid, splendid.

Well, right now
we're on our way

to see a patient
at the Acme Loan Company.

Uh, he gets very unhappy
whenever he remembers

how much money he has.

Uh.

Good. We'll be there
in 10 minutes.

Come on.

[RINGS]

Yes?

What?

Oh, no.

A daylight robbery
at the Acme Loan Company.

One hundred
thousand dollars,

and they don't even remember
how it happened.

They don't
remember?

That means Mugsy Maples
must've pulled the job.

He must have squirted them
with that anti-memory vapor.

And it's all
your fault!

[���]

[RINGING]

I still say we shouldn't
have come here

looking for Mugsy Maples

without first notifying
Inspector Henderson.

We're not looking
for Mugsy.

We're looking for evidence
against him...

if he was nice enough
to leave his door open.

I still say
this is too risky.

What if Mugsy Maples catches us
searching his office?

How can he, if he
isn't even here?

I called first to make sure,
and no one answered.

I still say
it's too risky.

Now, now, chief,
you remember our bargain.

On this story
we're giving the orders.

You agreed to do
whatever we said.

All right, all right,
start looking for clues.

[���]

Professor?

Professor Pepperwinkle?

Police headquarters?

Inspector Henderson, please.

Well, well...
we got company.

Oh, yes, inspector.

Yes, this is Superman.

Could you meet me

at Mugsy Maples' office
right away, please?

But it's just around the corner
from headquarters.

You could make it
in two minutes.

All right.

Half an hour then.

There's no need to be
alarmed, Miss Lane.

These gentlemen are using
my anti-memory vapor

for the good of mankind.

Oh, I'll bet they are.

Look, what we wanna know is
what's the big idea

busting in here
and frisking the joint?

Well, I-I'll tell--
I mean to say, uh-- Uh--

You can't threaten me
with that gun.

I'm Perry White,

publisher of
the Daily Planet.

Reporters, huh?
Nosy reporters.

Including our phony
window-washer friend.

Okay, everybody,
come on.

But where are you taking us?

To the country.

I got a beautiful place
in the country.

Go.

[WHOOSHING]

Ah. Hello, inspector.
Nice of you to come.

Is this what you wanted
to talk to me about?

What's that?

Lois Lane's handbag.

Well, it wasn't here
a little while ago.

She must have been here
since then.

And she must have left
in a hurry.

You suppose Maples has
taken her somewhere?

If he has, he's got
Perry White and Jimmy Olsen too.

They're all working together.

Then they're all
in danger together.

We've got to do something,
and do it fast.

I intend to.

But what can we do?

There's no telling where
he may have taken them.

Inspector, this must be the clue
that we're looking for.

As you can see,
this a private phone.

It has no dial
and no number.

A lot of good that does us.

It may do us
a lot of good.

There's only one reason

for Maples to have
a private number.

It must be a direct connection
to some secret hideaway.

Isn't that
what you'd say?

Yes, I'd say that.

Now, if we can just trace
this connection to its source.

Oh, you can't do that.
There must be millions

of phone lines
all through the city.

How can you trace
any single one of them?

By listening.

Inspector, here's what
I want you to do:

Pick up the receiver of this
phone and just start talking.

Talking? To nobody?

That's right.
I don't care what you say.

Just count from one to 100.
But keep going. Don't stop.

But why?

Because by using
my super-hearing,

I'm going to follow
your voice along the wire.

And sooner or later,

it has to lead me
to the other end,

wherever that is.

I see.

Do you really think
it'll work?

It has to.
Let's get started.

[���]

One, two, three,

four, five...

six, seven, eight, nine...

10, 11, 12...

All right,
everybody out.

Come on.
Hurry it up.

Let's go.
Come on.

All right,
come on, come on.

Don't make me do
all this work.

Here
we go.

All right, everybody, come on.
Let's get going.

Right down
the cellar.

Come on, that means you.
Come on.

Move, move.

...86, 87, 88, 89...

90, 91, 92, 93...

94, 95, 96...

MUGSY:
Okay. Downstairs, pop.

I'm not gonna take
another step.

You can't get away
with this, Maples.

But I am getting
away with it.

So far, $100,000 worth.

And the prof's
anti-memory vapor's

gonna get us plenty more.

[LAUGHS]

This is beautiful.

The witnesses can't even
remember who robbed 'em.

The law's got
nothing to go on.

They can't even
touch us.

What about Superman?

Chief, don't even
mention his name.

LOIS:
If Superman takes
a hand in this,

we'll never
get that raise.

Come on,
come on.

Cut out the chatter
and downstairs.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Wonder who
that could be.

Shut up.
Go get it, Knuckles.

Hey, Mugsy, suppose
it is Superman?

[KNOCKING
CONTINUES]

If it was Superman,
he wouldn't knock,

he'd bust the door down.

Yeah, sure,
that's right.

MUGSY [MOCKINGLY]:
"Yeah, sure, that's right."

[SIGHS]

LOIS:
Clark.

Golly, Mr. Kent,
what are you doing here?

Well, I just followed you,
Jimmy. Looks like I goofed.

You can say that again,
buster. Who are you?

Just another Planet
reporter.

Another one,
boss.

I never seen so many
nosy newspaper people

in one place,
did you?

No, but I'm kind of glad

to have 'em all
gathered together.

Makes it a lot easier to get rid
of 'em all in one bunch.

All right, everybody.
Come on, downstairs.

You heard him,
get going.

Okay, right in here, folks.
Come on. Hurry it up.

Come on, get a move on.
Hustle up. Get in there!

Come on.
Hurry it up.

You too. Come on. Sit down.
Get in there.

All right, now, sit down
and make yourselves comfortable.

You're gonna be here
a long, long time.

Tie 'em up,
Knuckles.

MUGSY:
Come on, sit down.

Get your hands
behind your back.

KNUCKLES:
Sit down. Give me your hands.

MUGSY:
Hands behind your back.

I said take a chair, buster.
That includes you.

Sit down.

Yes, sir.

Hands behind you.

...402, 403, 404, 405...

Well, that ought to
hold 'em, boss.

Yeah, for as long
as they live.

Which won't be
very long.

Here,
hold this.

Sorry me and Knuckles
can't stick around,

but I'm afraid it
wouldn't be healthy for us.

What are you gonna do?

Gonna take this
little pellet here...

open up
this bottle of acid...

and drop the pellet in.

And I'm gonna
close it real quick.

This stuff is murder.

[CACKLES]

Come on,
Knuckles.

Nobody could live in here
more than five minutes

after those fumes
start to spread.

There's something's wrong.
The handle's broke!

Wait a minute. You mean,
we can't get outta here?

We're goners,
just like they are.

Oh, no. We gotta get
outta here.

MUGSY:
Open up.

KNUCKLES: Push it
a little harder.
Open up!

[ALL COUGHING]

Raise or
no raise...

if we could only get
word to Superman.

You'll get
the raise anyway.

Superman
or no Superman.

Thanks a lot,
chief.

If we ever needed him,
we need him now.

Well, there's no point

in trying to keep this
a secret any longer.

I can't
believe it.

Mr. Kent
is Superman.

PROFESSOR:
He is? Why, so he is.

Oh-ho-ho. We gotta
get outta here.

I think you better stay
for a while, boys.

[GRUNTING, COUGHING]

I sure hope
this stuff works.

Come on, junior,
we've got work to do.

Thanks, Mr. Kent.

Come on, Jimmy,
knock the door down.

Me?

Yes, you.
Knock it down.

Me.

You. Go on,
take a whack at it.

[LAUGHS]

Try again, now.
Here we go.

[LAUGHS]

Attaboy.

Now, go untie
our friends

and get them out of here
as quick as you can.

[BLOWS]

...712...

[YAWNS]

...713, 714...

[SIGHS]

...715...

[LAUGHS]

...716, 717...

You can stop counting now,
inspector.

Because of you,
our friends are safe,

and Mr. Maples' caught
with the goods.

Because of me?

Because of you, you mean.

Oh, no. If you hadn't
kept this line open,

we'd never have made it.

Oh, incidentally, do me
a favor, will you?

And don't mention to anyone

I was connected with this
in any way.

If that's the way you want it,
you've got my word.

Good. Now, you can pick them up.

It's the fourth estate
on the left.

And that's four miles
outside Bellville.

Route 26. Right.

Let's face it,
chief.

Superman didn't
rescue us this time.

I did.
You?

Well, like he said, chief,
let's face it.

None of us
remember anything

after we were taken
to that place in the car.

So Jimmy must have
broken his bonds,

knocked out
the two crooks,

knocked down the door
and rescued us.

It's not possible.

Obviously the can
of anti-memory vapor

fell out of
Mugsy's pocket when--

When I knocked
him out.

That's why none of us
remember anything.

But who was the one
that wasn't tied up

when we started to
come to?

You.

Ipso facto,
I'm your hero.

A hero, I might add,
with a $10 raise.

Hey, just a minute.

I'm in on that raise
department too, remember?

All right, all right,
you'll get the raise.

Oh, dear, dear,
it seems a pity.

What seems a pity?
That we get a raise?

No, I mean, it's a pity
I seem to have forgotten

the formula for making
my anti-memory vapor.

I'll never be able
to make anymore.

Don't you think
it's a pity, Mr. Kent?

Oh I do, professor.
I do, indeed.

There are a great many
things it'd be better

for people not to remember.

NARRATOR:
Don't miss the next
thrill-packed episode

in the amazing
Adventures of Superman.

Superman is based on
the original character

appearing in
Superman magazine.
