I'm impressed.
I'm not, if that's all you got to show me.
Patience, Maxima. Sometimes the hunter likes to play with its prey.
Yes, sometimes she does!

I'm impressed.
I'm not, if that's all you got to show me.
Patience, Maxima. Sometimes the hunter likes to play with its prey.
Yes, sometimes she does!
The prey is cornered. The victory is mine, and so are you, Maxima. My queen, my mate.
My FOOT!
My lady, another candidate has been found. The scouts have brought visual recording of his heroic deeds.
Sure. I could use a good laugh. Bring it to my room.
The Earth natives call him "Superman."
Hmm, "Super-Man". I like those shoulders... and that chin. Oh, our children will be absolutely gorgeous!
So, she took the bait?
You knew she would. She's young, headstrong...
...Hormonal.
[Maxima is accosted by a group of thugs]
Who do you think you are?
[Maxima picks him up and uses him as a club to beat his friends unconscious] I am the Lady Maxima, Royal Queen, Head of the Royal House, and leader of all Almerac. [spins the thug until he's nearly unconscious and puts him on unsteady feet] Feel free to bow.
We're in trouble, people! Superman piece is coming up short. We need to fill two minutes, anybody have any ideas?
[shoves her way into the studio] I said, out of my way!
Excuse me...?
I am the Lady Maxima, warrior queen, head of the royal house, leader of all Almerac... and Superman's betrothed.
[skyward] Thank you!
Superman... YOW!
Murray, there's a man and a woman fighting!
Stop spying on the neighbors, Lucille.
[after Superman ties her up with a construction girder]
No one has ever lasted this long with me... no one! You are... my equal! [she dissipates the girder, springs to her feet and hugs him] This is the happiest day of my life!
[confused] I'm... glad.
Oh, my goodness! They're hugging!
Just don't get any ideas.
Of course, now you'll have to marry me.
You can't just barge in and make demands like that!
Why not? On my planet I do it all the time.
Well, this isn't Almanac.
Almerac.
Whatever. Here on Earth, marriage isn't something you can command. Marriage is a willing partnership where husbands and wives share the decisions and sacrifices.
What planet is he from?
I have the power to do as I please!
And the responsibility to do what is right! As leader, you serve the people. They don't serve you.
I used to use these ancient tunnels as a prison.
No wonder you're so popular.
This time D'cine, it's no game. This time, I kill you.
Maxima-
I... don't kill him? [Superman shakes his head] I... lock him up? [Brightens] For a really long time!
