Jimmy Olsen quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Jimmy Olsen

What do I need a picture of? Luthor kissing a donkey?!

Jimmy Olsen

Watch out, Clark. You're about to burn a hole in those glasses.

Toyman

Miss Lane, pay attention to the story. And take good notes.

Toyman

It's a very sad story, one most people have forgotten. Once upon a time, there was a kindly man who loved nothing more than making toys. He wanted to build the most wonderful toy factory in all the world, only he had no money to pay for it. Then one day a man came along, a very bad man. [pop up of Bruno Mannheim holding a wad of cash and with devil horns] He offered to pay for the factory under one condition...

TOYMAKER SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS

Clark Kent

"The factory became the front for a numbers racket. Although Bruno Mannheim was named as a suspect, he was never indicted. Only the toymaker, Winslow Schott, was convicted."

Jimmy Olsen

Sounds like Bruno played him for a patsy.

Toyman

The bad man watched and laughed while the police locked the kindly toymaker in the dungeon forever. Clang!

Clark Kent

2 to 1, Schott's our Toyman.

Jimmy Olsen

Uh, I don't think so, Clark. Take a look.

Clark Kent

His obituary?

Jimmy Olsen

Poor guy. He died before making parole.

Clark Kent

Yeah, but he had a survivor.

Toyman

That's right, Miss Lane. The toymaker had a son. But without his father, the poor little boy was bounced from foster home to foster home, like a little toy that nobody wanted. A childhood is a terrible thing to lose, Miss Lane, but I'm getting mine back... with a vengeance.

She must have been delirious when our boys found her. She said something about being attacked by a purple monster.

Jimmy Olsen

Was its name Barney?

You're here to make 'haha', kid, or take pictures?

Jimmy Olsen

I guess that's a 'no'...

Jimmy Olsen

Sonic boom? Earthquake?

Lois Lane

Maybe Perry had chili for lunch again.

Lois Lane

Look! Up in the sky!

Jimmy Olsen

It's a bird!

Lois Lane

Yeah, but what's it sitting on?

Lois Lane

Er, Jimmy, think you could keep an eye on him for a hour or two?

Jimmy Olsen

Me?

Lois Lane

You've got to take the photos anyway, and I know they'll be terrific.

Jimmy Olsen

But...

Lois Lane

It's just like babysitting... with fleas.

Jimmy Olsen

You're sure it's in here?

Lois Lane

Yes, I'm sure, so shut up and keep squeezing the monkeys!

Jimmy Olsen

Holy...

Lois Lane

Bad choice of words Jimmy!

Granny Goodness

I seek out the lost little lambs society has cruelly abandoned, I take them lovingly under my wings, give them the power to face the cold heartless world... and kick its butt!

Jimmy Olsen

We're in!

Granny Goodness

But you hardly seem the type. So bright-eyed, soft skin. Life has not scarred you as it has my other goslings. Still... we can remedy that...

Kara Kent

All right, I've seen enough. Don't you realize you are being duped? You think you're getting power but she's just turning you into her personal goon squad!

Jimmy Olsen

What are you doing?

Kara Kent

What are you think? I'm shutting down this psycho-witch!

Granny Goodness

Ah! Such language! Children, defend your Granny's honor. KILL HER!

Lois Lane

You keep staring at your byline, you'll burn a hole in it.

Jimmy Olsen

...What? Oh, yeah. It just looks so... good.
