Toyman quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Toyman

I'm ever so sorry to spoil your nice celebration, but I have a very important message to your boss Mr. Mannheim. Please tell him the Toyman is calling timeout on his little games. And don't be tardy...

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.

Superman

Little boys shouldn't play with sharp objects.

Toyman

Who invited you, Superman?

[to Toyman] I'll never love you. Never!

Toyman

I know there's a place for me in your heart. [charges up a drill] I just have to find it.
