[rats squeaking]

(Nigel)
Well, what is his status,
Gretchen?

His vital signs
are fluctuating wildly.

It's been a struggle ever since
that fiasco in the crypt.

I do hope I haven't
made this trip for nothing.

Gee, Nigel, your concern for Lex
is overwhelming.

Mr. Luthor did not hire me
for my congeniality.

What are you doing?

I've got to stabilize
his electromagnetic field.

Otherwise we're gonna lose him.

[whirring]

[beeping]

[flatlining]

No.

Lex?

No!

It's over, Gretchen.

Oh, no..

It was a noble experiment.

[gasping]

Lex?

[Lex groaning]

[creaking]

[groaning]

- Lex.
- I can't believe it.

[sighs]

Believe it.

[theme music]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

Lois,
there's something I wanna say.

Clark, you don't have to say it.

I know what you're thinking.

I've been thinking
the same thing.

Lois.

Clark,
what are you waiting for?

[imitating Perry]
We'll never get this paper out..

- By deadline.
- What?

I said, we'll never get
this paper out by deadline!

- Huh?
- Alright.

I want everybody's stories

on my desk in ten minutes flat.

Lyndon, when am I gonna get
that story

'on the capture of Rollie Vale?'

(Lyndon)
'I'm on it, chief!'

[indistinct chatter]

Uh, Lois,
I-I wanna ask you something.

Ooh, I'm not gonna like it,
am I?

- What makes you say that?
- You know..

You've got
that tone in your voice

you know,
when people are uncomfortable

like, when they wanna
borrow your car

or money, your clothes.

Oh, okay, you got me.
I-I wanna borrow your clothes.

[chuckles]
I bet you'd look real cute
in black chiffon.

[chuckles]
Uh, what I wanna say is, uh--

- I know what you want, Clark.
- You do?

I know you a lot better than
you think. How much do you need?

What?
No, I don't want money, Lois.

Clark, you don't
have to be embarrassed.

That's what friends are for.

Just tell me how much.

Lois, I want you
to go out with me.

What?

[instrumental music]

You're asking me out?

Yeah, you know, like, on a date.

A date?

You mean, like a real date,
where I take out my good perfume

the one that I got
after I saw "Love Affair"

the good one, not the remake

and I put a dab behind my knee

I don't even know why?

Yeah, I guess
that's what I'm saying.

- Well, that's..
- Yeah.

Well, I.. I just don't..

I don't know what to say.

Well, most people
either choose yes or no.

Well, it's not that easy,
I mean, it's easy for you

because you've had time to think
about it, you've had time

to plan what you're gonna say
and what you're gonna say

depending on
what I say back to you--

Lois, uh, I'm just trying
to ask you out.

I'm not trying to negotiate
a nuclear arms treaty.

(Jimmy)
Hey, C.K.

This just came for you.
It says it's from the FBI.

Uh, who do you know
at the FBI?

Uh, Roger Templeton.
We met when I was in Washington.

Hm, "Dear Clark, I thought you
might find this interesting."

Hm..

(Lois)
Clark, this is the woman
that stole Lex Luthor's body.

- 'Who's that guy?'
- 'It's Nigel St. John.'

He used to be
Lex's personal assistant.

Get this, they've identified
the woman in the photograph

as Gretchen Kelly.
She was Luthor's doctor.

Maybe that explains
her fascination with his body.

That's not all,
turns out Nigel was more than

Luthor's Mr. Belvedere.

He was an agent
with Her Majesty's

secret service gone bad.

Hm, well,
this says that that photo

was taken recently
in Metropolis.

'The agent who took the photo
has disappeared.'

(Jimmy)
'Disappeared, huh?'

'I guess being a photographer's'

'more dangerous than we
thought.'

Uh, maybe Sheldon Bender
knows something.

Luthor's attorney? Why him?

Well, it's just..

Uh, God knows everything

and attorneys seem to think
they're God.

- 'Heh-heh.'
- Um, Jimmy.

Why don't you
take this over to Perry

and, uh, tell him we're on it?

You got it.

Uh, Clark.

- Uh, about the date..
- Yeah.

It's okay, take your time.
We can talk about it later.

[instrumental music]

It's gone.

[beeping]

[scoffs]
This weasel, Bender, swindled me
out of my entire fortune.

Lex, you should be resting.
This can wait.

What about the, um,
Swiss Bank accounts?

[beeping]

(Lex)
'Swiss.'

'Ha! Empty.'

I'm broke.

And death
I could deal with, Nigel

but to be broke,
no money, no power

that's not something
I'm prepared for.

Oh, knowing you, sir, I'm sure
it's just a temporary condition.

(Lex)
'Yeah, the money, perhaps'

but true power lies
in the possession of Kryptonite.

Until I find it, I'm nothing.

[sighs]
Well..

First things first.

Nigel.

I'd like you to arrange a little
meeting with Mr. Bender.

- Yes, sir.
- And, Nigel.

Let's drop the sir.
No need for facades.

Look at us. We are what we are.

(Nigel)
'And what is that?'

Ordinary street fighters,
like the old days.

I've never thought
there was anything ordinary

about you, Lex.

Yeah, well, thank you, my dear.

You're absolutely right.

[train chugging]

And what's this?

What is this?
I'm losing my hair.

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

Lex, your body has been through
a tremendous ordeal.

You're bound to experience
some temporary side effects.

You need to rest.

Alright, shave it off.

Don't just stand there.
Shave it off.

And, Nigel,
I want you to do me a favor.

I want you to find out whatever
you can about Lois Lane.

Ow!

Well, that's a good thing
you're not a surgeon.

[indistinct chatter]

[groans]
Wait, hey!

[grunting]

[indistinct yelling]

- Clark, that's Bender.
- Hey! Hey!

[grunting]

[intense music]

Hello, Bender.

[grunting]

I'm gonna call the police.
Stay here.

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[manhole shuts]

Watch the suit.

Who are you people?

- Do you realize who you are--
- Shut up.

Look, if you're with Intergang--

(Lex)
What's Intergang?

A new crime organization
in Metropolis.

Ooh, just a group of thugs,
all substance and no style.

Didn't take long
for the jackals to move in.

Look, look, whoever you are

I want you to know right now,
you can't..

[dramatic music]

Oh, yes, I can.

Le.. Lex?

Luthor.

Your worst nightmare.

A billion dollars, Mr. Bender.
Where is it?

It's all, it's all tied up
in real estate.

Uh, I-I could get you
a few thousand--

No, sorry. Wrong answer.

[groaning]
Alright!

I-I-I know, know people
in Intergang!

Ah, maybe I could talk them
into bringing you in.

Sorry, Mr. Bender,
wrong answer again!

- Ooh! Ooh! Oh!
- Oh, look!

Gretchen, the rats have
a voracious appetite tonight.

But will they eat
one of their own?

(Bender)
'Please, please. I'll..'

'I'll-I'll get it back for you.'

- I, I promise.
- Bon appetit.

I, I've got Kryptonite!
I can get you Kryptonite!

[panting]

[groaning]

I know who has it.

How do you know
about Kryptonite?

Look, I know someone.

[panting]
I can get it for you.

If you cross me, Bender

I will cut open your chest

and sew up a rat inside.

Superman told me that that van
was operated by remote control.

Why do you suppose
someone would kidnap Bender?

It can't be for money. Who would
pay ransom for a lawyer?

[telephone ringing]

Clark Kent.

Do I want them?
Can you hang on a minute?

Lois, this ticket broker has got

two of the last
Pearl Jam tickets

for the concert tomorrow night.

Would you like to go?

Oh, right. The date thing.

Uh..

What about Mayson?

Well, the guy's only got
two tickets.

- Clark--
- Lois, I'm asking you out.

Okay, fair enough.

It's a big deal.
We work together.

And what happens
if, you know, it bombs?

We'll always be friends.

(man on phone)
'Hello, Mr. Clark, you there?
Hello!'

Yeah, I'm still here.

I-I know.

We both need an answer.

[instrumental music]

Okay.

[chuckles]

- Okay, I'll take 'em.
- Hm.

How much?

Each?

No, no, no.
That sounds reasonable.

Okay, great. Thanks.

So..

[chuckles]
So..

- Am I interrupting something?
- No.

- No, no.
- No.

It's okay, guys.
I'm not the principal.

I just came over to give you
this lab report on the van.

Turns out there's a trap door
in the floor.

Oh, so that's how Bender

disappeared
without anybody seeing him.

Yeah, magic always
seems to have an explanation.

- Anything else?
- Uh, yeah.

The van's registered
to a guy in Park Ridge.

The cops have him
down at the station right now.

Well, you start on the story,
I'll go to the station.

Oh, and as long as I'm out,
I can pick up those, uh

uh, things that we need for
the thing that we talked about.

No, no, no.
I-it's out of your way.

- I'll just send a runner.
- Okay.

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]
What?

Nothin'.

[laughs]
I didn't say nothin'.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me, miss.

Could you help an old man
across the street?

Oh, uh..

Huh, sure. Of course.

[siren blaring]

Okay, here,
just watch it down the curb.

Yeah.

Aren't you that reporter

who almost married Lex Luthor?

Uh..

- Yeah.
- Uh, Lois Lane, right?

So tell me, what was that,
uh, Luthor fellow like?

Well, he was, uh

very magnetic and very charming.

He was also
a very dangerous criminal.

Alright, I see, but I hear

you young women like them
bad-boy types these days.

Well, I don't think
that's always true.

I mean,
I guess sometimes it is.

Uh, excuse me,
I-I am late for an appointment.

[siren blaring]

[sighs]
She's more beautiful than ever.

(Nigel)
Oh? And what about Gretchen?

What about her?
She's my physician.

She doesn't inspire me.

I suppose it has occurred to you
that Ms. Lane

might not come quite so easily
this time.

"If I cannot prove the lover
to entertain

"these fair, well-spoken days

I'm determined
to prove the villain."

[laughs]
"Richard III," your favorite.

My hero. And like Richard,
I will not be denied.

I'll give her the chance
to come willingly.

If she won't come,
I'll take her by force.

After you get the Kryptonite.

[chuckles]
Of course.

(Lois)
The police said
the owner of the van

loaned it to a friend of his

an ex-con named Ramin Tarbush.

I called his parole officer,
he hadn't seen Tarbush in weeks

but I asked for a description.
Exact match to the kidnapper.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- Bobby Bigmouth?
- Mm-hmm.

Now, what in the blazes
is a Bobby Bigmouth?

Hm.

Hm..

- Bobby.
- Hm?

Oh, if it ain't
the two lovebirds.

- Did you tell him?
- 'No, no, no.'

I got it from his ticket broker.

He's a barracuda in business

but he's a romantic at heart.

- So you two excited?
- Well, Bobby..

We didn't come here
to talk about--

I want you to know
how happy I am for you

and that there are
a lot of people out there

that are really pulling
for this to work out.

- What people?
- What?

You think it's a big secret
that Clark here

has, uh, been mooning over you?

I wouldn't say mooning,
well, exactly.

- I'm..
- I love being in love, I mean..

There's no feeling like it
in the whole world..

...except,
maybe a really full stomach.

And I love the fact that
we're pushing pigs in a blanket.

Yeah, Bobby, do you know
an ex-con named Ramin Tarbush?

Of course, last I heard, he's
been living out in the streets.

But he has his meals
at the, uh, homeless shelter

on Union Street.

Hm.

Ah, what happened to my manners?
Anybody thirsty?

[door buzzing]

You have five minutes, Rollie.

[dramatic music]

[door shuts]

You Bender?

Who are these bozos?

I caution you on
your choice of words, Mr. Vale.

Oh, yeah?

Well, in case you haven't
noticed, I'm in prison.

What are you gonna do,
charge me with being rude?

Of course not, Mr. Vale.
I'll simply have you killed.

[laughs]
Oh, really?

You and what..

Luthor?

How?

There are more things
in heaven and Earth

than are dreamt of
in your philosophy, Mr. Vale.

Sure. Okay.

So what happened?

Forget to bring
your hair with you

when you came back
from the dead?

[chuckles]
That's funny.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's very funny.

But unfortunately, Mr. Vale

you are not in a position
to be funny.

[groans]

And you're in no position
to put your hands on me

Mr. Luthor.

[groaning]

Robotic.

I had to replace the one

my thimble-brained cyborg
crushed.

A cyborg
which was powered by Kryptonite

which was stolen from LexLabs
by your brother.

I want it back.

Um, what my client
is saying is--

(Rollie)
I know what he's saying.

Unless you got something I want,
skinhead, this meeting's over.

Well, what is it you want?

A half a million dollars
and my freedom.

Money and your freedom
for the Kryptonite.

Do we have a deal?

[dramatic music]

Sure. We have a deal.

[knocking on door]

And you know where to find me.

[door buzzing]

[indistinct chatter]

Lex, whatever you're planning,
I shouldn't hear about it.

Hear about it?
You're going to be part of it.

We'll require a little diversion
to get the equipment we need.

And I know
the perfect sacrificial lamb.

[dramatic music]

Chief, I'm making a donut run.
You need anything?

Oh, oh, no, thanks, Jimmy,
but, uh, appreciate you asking.

Whoa! Somebody's been messing
with my chair.

[beeping]

What's this?

Uh-oh.

Jimmy!

Yeah, chief.

I do need something.

What's that?

Help.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, God. This is exactly
why we shouldn't go out.

- All I said was hi.
- Yes, I know.

And a dozen thoughts
went through my mind.

You know, how's my makeup?
Do I smell good?

Do I have coffee breath?

See, and all that
was just with you saying hi.

What's gonna happen
when you start saying words

with more than one syllable?

What did they put in your coffee
this morning?

Clark, I'm just,
I'm just trying to say

that I'm afraid
things will change

if we start going out.

Well, if it makes you feel
any better, Lois..

...I'm afraid, too.

Oh! Oh, I'm so glad
that you said that.

[chuckles]
Thank you.

Excuse me, I'd like a..

Oh, so, uh, did you, did you
go to the shelter this morning?

Yeah, uh,
Ramin's still a no-show

but the director said
he'd call us if he comes in.

- Hm.
- Alright, ladies and gentlemen.

We got an emergency
in the building!

I need everyone outside!

- What is it?
- Just step outside.

- Little lady.
- Well, no, I-I..

What's hap.. What's happening?

'Clark? Clark? Where's Clark?'

Is it real?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's a real pressure bomb

crudely made, but real.

When you sat down,
you engaged the detonator.

So if you get the urge to
stand up and do a jig, fight it.

Yeah.
Uh, uh, can you disarm it?

I think so, if I can just
figure out which wire to cut.

[sighs]

[whistles]

- Superman!
- Do you need any help?

Nope. Found what I needed.

- Oh, no!
- Oh, no?

I underestimated the guy.

'Built in
a backup firing mechanism.'

Whoa! what does that mean?

It means we got less
than a minute

to clear
this whole building out! Oh..

Officer, clear a path
to that window?

'Mr. White, just hang on.'

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

Nice view from here!

I just wish I was
in a better mood to enjoy it!

[beeping]

I'd hoped to set you down
someplace deserted

but I don't think
we're gonna make it.

So thanks for flying with me,
Mr. White.

Huh? Jesus Christ!

Great Caesar's ghost!

[screaming]

Oh..

Now, that's what
I call turbulence. Oh..

Oh, some yahoo probably read
something in the "Planet"

he didn't like.

You know, it's the risk
every editor takes.

(Lois)
'Perry, I think
it's awfully coincidental'

'that Nigel St. John,
a former spy'

comes into town,
and suddenly this happens.

Lois, stop being paranoid.

Guess who suddenly reappeared?
Sheldon Bender.

(Clark)
'He's claiming the kidnapping
was just a prank'

by some old fraternity brothers.

Chief, my instinct says
that all this stuff

with Bender and the bomb
is connected

'to Nigel and Gretchen Kelly.'

Well, what are you two
standing there for, then?

Hey, guys, guess what?

The bomb squad's headquarters
was robbed

while they were
defusing you, chief.

'They got away
with some plastic explosives'

and some remote-control
triggering mechanism.

Now, wait a minute,
are you telling me

that I was just some kind
of diversionary tactic?

It kinda cheapens it somehow,
doesn't it?

- Cheapens it?
- You take Bender.

- I'll take the bomb squad.
- You take the bomb squad.

[chuckles]
You know,
I think that's the first time

I've ever heard them agree
on anything.

Yeah, well, a budding romance
will do that for ya.

How did you know that?

Jimmy, I did not become
editor of a major newspaper

because I can yodel.

- Huh!
- Oh, excuse me, um..

Well, well, Lois Lane.

[chuckles]
Well, imagine my good luck

running into you
two days in a row.

You know,
I have something for you.

Information about Lex Luthor

and the woman
who stole his body.

Who are you?

Uh, do you know the story
of the phoenix?

Yes, the sacred bird reborn

rising from its own ashes.

That's right.

When I was a little boy..

...my mother told me that story.

And I..

...I always liked the part

where he..

...came back from the dead.

It's good to see you again,
Lois.

'Did you think
I wouldn't come back for you?'

Yes. Look at me.

I've lost everything,
my fortune, my reputation

everything
but my feeling for you.

We must take the miracle
of my resurrection as a sign

as a sign that even death
can't keep us apart.

- H-how is this--
- No.

Don't question a miracle,
we're together again.

That's all that matters.

What?

What? No! No, I could never..

Well, I've fallen from grace,
haven't I?

I can see it in your eyes.

But surely a creature
of such abundant benevolence

would allow me the chance
to redeem myself.

I, I don't have
those feelings for you anymore.

I don't believe you.

How could you expect..

...after everything you've done?

[scoffs]
Well, yes, I did terrible things

but I did them for you.

I was provoked by the blinding
light of your beauty.

But if you can't forgive me

then, here.

Call the police.

'Go ahead, call.'

[instrumental music]

You do feel something for me.

No.

I just feel
maybe you've suffered enough.

What did Luthor say he wanted?
I mean, besides you.

Well, it looks like
Bender's your only solid lead

to finding Luthor.

Yeah, and he's in seclusion
on his yacht.

Supposedly,
he needs a break from the press.

Well, he's not gonna get it,
I want you two on him

like flies on a T-bone,
round-the-clock surveillance.

Chief, when you say, round
the clock, you don't mean--

Yes, sir, right now,
you can set up shop

'down at Butch Kennebrew's.
He's a friend of mine.'

Keeps a little, uh, hideaway
down there at the marina.

So you-you want us to start
tonight?

Have you, uh,
got something better to do?

Uh, uh, I guess not.

Uh-huh.

Good.

Jimmy.

[sighs]
Enjoy.

[chuckles]
Alright, C.K.!

Pearl Jam! This will definitely
put me over the top with Angela.

[sighs]

I don't believe this,
instead of Pearl Jam

we wind up watching
some lawyer get ready for bed.

(Lois)
Well, maybe we can just pretend
this is our first date

not that I'd like this
to be our first date.

Actually,
I'd like something nicer.

But just so it's not
a total loss. I mean..

You did ask me out and I did
worry a lot about my answer.

I wouldn't want all that effort
to be for nothing.

- I'm babbling, aren't I?
- Look.

Let's just say
we're on a regular assignment

and forget the date part.

We'll do it another time.

Well, what if we say

this is our almost-first date

kind of like a test run?

[chuckles]
Sure. Why not?

Alright.

Um, why don't I see

if I can find something
that would be, uh, appropriate

to celebrate
our almost-first date?

[chuckles]

Oh, hey! Look. Champagne.

It's, uh, too bad it's warm.

Probably take forever to chill
in this little refrigerator.

Uh, I got to get out
of these clothes

so just yell
if you see anything.

Okay.

I don't feel good.

Don't worry about it.

(Bender on tape)
'Glad you could make it.'

(male #1)
'Next time you need to see me'

'Sheldon, don't call my office.'

'You have my home number.'

(Bender)
'I'm sorry, Your Honor,
it won't happen again.'

- Clark?
- 'Your name on my phone log..'

Uh, something's happening
on Bender's boat.

- 'Should something go wrong.'
- 'Nothing's going to go wrong.'

- Here.
- 'Your Honor, believe me.'

(Bender)
'I just wanted
to thank you in person'

for getting a new hearing
for Rollie Vale.

When is he being transferred
to the courthouse?

- 'This afternoon.'
- That's Judge Winkler.

(Bender)
'Good, on behalf of my client,
I'd like you'

to accept this little token
of our appreciation.

It's just like I wanted?

All bills,
no sequential numbers.

Always a pleasure doing
justice with you, counsellor.

[seagulls squawking]

[sighs]

[bubbling]

(Lois)
Hey, Bender!

(Bender)
Oh, my!

What, what do you peop..

[groaning]

[exhales sharply]

I've always admired
Nigel's creativity.

[seagulls squawking]

[indistinct chatter]

Sure. I'll just wait right here
for his call.

Judge Winkler's clerk.

The judge is temporarily
unavailable for comment.

Big surprise.

Why would Bender want
Rollie Vale transferred downtown

for a new hearing?
What's in it for Lex?

Whatever it is, it's big enough
to cost Bender his life.

Hey, C.K.,
thanks for the tickets.

Pearl Jam was incredible!

- What happened to your eye?
- Oh, brutal, huh?

Angela and I
went through the mosh pit twice.

- Mosh pit?
- 'Oh, oh, um..'

That, the director from
the homeless shelter called.

That guy, uh, Ramin

uh, he's down there
eating breakfast right now.

[car honking]

[engine revving]

[siren blaring]

Clark, there he is.

[creaking]

[dramatic music]

[door shuts]

[creaking]

After you.

[rats squeaking]

It's a long fall
from a penthouse in the sky.

What's that noise?

[rats squeaking]

(Lois)
'Oh, I hate rats.'

Clark.

It starts here
at the Metropolis men's prison

ends at the courthouse.

It must be the route
they're gonna use

to transfer Rollie Vale.

Luthor's gonna break Vale
out of prison!

Let's go.

[creaking]

[sighs]

You go get the jeep.
I'm gonna call the police.

[groans]

[gasps]

Lex wanted me to find you.

Thanks for making it so easy.

[engine revving]

Steady. Not too soon.

Now!

[explosion]

[screaming]

[tires screeching]

Ah!

[clamoring]

[tires screeching]

Hey.

[groans]

- Looks like he needed a rest.
- Yes.

He'll have an awful headache
tomorrow morning.

Now, tell me, Mr. Vale

is the air sweeter
when it's free?

Yeah, it's great.
Now get me out of here.

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

[fire crackling]

[man groaning]

[blowing]

[crowd cheering]

[groaning]

- I better get you to a doctor.
- It's alright.

Don't you realize Lex is insane?

(Gretchen)
If anyone's insane, you are.

You could have married
the greatest man in Metropolis

but instead,
you turned your back on him.

He's a psychopathic criminal.
He could kill any of us.

He never hurt me.

I gave him life,
but you drove him to his death.

(Lex)
Lois.

When will you ever learn

I always get my way?

Lex, please,
before you make things worse--

I've already been through
the worst.

Alright, Vale.

Where did you hide
the Kryptonite?

It's been right here all along.

My Excalibur.

What are you gonna do with that?

I'm going to kill Superman
when he comes to rescue you

and then there'll be no one
to take you away from me.

Nigel,
keep this in a safe place.

Now, where's my money?

- Oh, yes. Nigel, pay the man.
- Hey, what's this?

It's called
an old-fashioned double-cross.

Exactly.

Won't you join me, Ramin?

Et tu, Nigel?

Nigel, what are you doing?

You've had your day, Lex.

Now it's Intergang
with the deep pockets.

But we're a team!

When the lead wolf is weakened

'the pack quickly turns.'

If the deal
was my freedom and the money--

[grunting]

Ow!

- Lex!
- 'Oh, ah..'

(Gretchen)
'Lex!'

- Let's go, Ramin.
- Is he alright?

- I'll take care of him!
- It's alright, my love.

It's just a minor setback.

- You stay away!
- Ooh..

- Oh!
- Oh, God.. Ow!

- 'Lois!'
- Lex, Lex!

- She doesn't love you!
- Lois, give me your hand.

- She never loved you!
- 'Give me your hands!'

(Gretchen)
'I sacrificed everything
to bring you back!'

(Lex)
'Wait!'

- I love you!
- Oh! I'll kill you!

- Ah!
- 'Ah! Ah..'

[electricity crackling]

[thuds]

[instrumental music]

[laughs]

[laughs]

Maybe you'd like to let me in
on the joke.

Me, I'm the joke.

Twice I've had the chance
to kill you

twice the game
has gone your way.

- The game is over, Luthor.
- No.

I'll not give you
the satisfaction

of taking me alive.

[crackling]

(Superman)
'Sorry, Luthor, but killing
yourself is the easy way out.'

You can't cheat justice twice.

Don't look so smug.

Tell him, Lois.

'Tell him
that once you really loved me.'

[sighs]

Well, I thought
I'd never see this day. Ha!

You think there's hope
for Elvis?

[laughing]

Nice job, you two.

Now, I know
I've said this before

but this time it's an order.

I want both of you
to take some time off.

Well, you don't have
to tell me twice.

Um, Clark, I'll call you
in a couple of days

about that, uh, thing
that we have to reschedule.

Yeah, whenever.
That sounds great.

(Perry)
'You know, you two don't
have to talk in code.'

You're not fooling anybody.

Planning on making a date,
just say so.

How did you..
Jimmy?

Hey, hey, I didn't say a word,
honestly.

Look, he did not become editor
'cause he knows how to yodel.

[laughs]

Oh, by the by,
you owe Butch Kennebrew

a bottle of champagne
and a new lampshade.

[yodeling]
