Mr. Mxyzptlk quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Mr. Mxyzptlk

[about Superman] You know how it is. Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly! I've gotta bug that jerk till I die!... Or he does.

Superman

I can't even say your name forward. How am I supposed to say it backward?

Mr. Mxyzptlk

No, dope! You don't have to say it backwards! You've got to get me to say it!

Superman

Say what?

Mr. Mxyzptlk

KLTPZYXM! Gosh, you're thick! Now, for the last time- [realizes his mistake] Ah, nuts. [disappears]

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Your three months are up. And this time, you're not gonna cheat me out of my fun!

Clark Kent

Oh, it's you again, Mr. Kltpzyxm.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Not Kltpzyxm! Mxyzptlk! Now the first thing I'm gonna do- [realizes] Oh, nuts! [disappears]

Clark Kent

Look, little guy, I'm tired of this. If it's a fight you want...

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Oh, it is, it is!

Clark Kent

Fine. First let me proofread this article, and I'll meet you on the roof in twenty minutes.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

No stalling! I'll edit the rag for ya. [looks over the article, then quickly crosses out the incorrect letters, which spell "KLTPZYXM"] There. [vanishing again] Hey, what?! NO-!

Five, four, three...

Mr. Mxyzptlk

[reappears] NUTS, NUTS, NUTS! [to Gsptlsnz] Not one word.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

[about Bizarro] This is so sad! I can't take it anymore!

Bizarro

Who there? Where am voice from?

Mr. Mxyzptlk

The greatest hero in the universe, reduced to saving rocks and playing house! [shows himself] If I'd stayed quiet one more second, I'd need a colossal barf bag!

Bizarro

Ha! You funny little big head man!

Bizarro

Hey, you funny little big head man.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Mr. Mxyzptlk, at your service.

Bizarro

Mr. Mzy... pzy...

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Eh, don't bother, you'll give yourself a hernia.

Superman

Mxyzptlk?! I thought you promised to stay away from Earth forever!

Mr. Mxyzptlk

No, no, no. I only promised I wouldn't come back and bother you, and I'm not! Old Rockhead is!

Superman

And I can guess you got him riled up.

Bizarro

Why bad men shoot at me?

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Hey, easy on the material, Frankenstein.

Bizarro

Send bad men away, little big head. Send them away!

Mr. Mxyzptlk

I'd love to help you, Rocky, but power-wise, my tank is dry.

Bizarro

[shakes him] Nooooo! Send them away! Do it!

Mr. Mxyzptlk

[fearful] Kltpzyxm! Kltpzyxm! [nothing happens] Oh, mama, this was a bad idea.

Bizarro

Hello, citizens. It good to be back. World am safe. Me see no trouble... Me say, "Me see no trouble".

Mr. Mxyzptlk

I heard you the first time!

Mr. Mxyzptlk

[as he dodges the boulder] WATCH IT, YA BIG JERK! Three months of this?! I don't think so! I QUIT!

Superman

[imitating Bizarro] Life am good.
