I built this rocket hoping it could carry our people to safety. Now, it will carry my son. The last son of Krypton.
S1 E1The Last Son of Krypton
[Trying to save a plane, the tail he's holding rips off] Nice one, Clark.
Now that the terrorists have your prototype, the Pentagon is undoubtedly gonna want you to build a bigger and better version for them. When all is said and done, this could net you a multimillion dollar windfall.
Lois, it almost sounds as if your friend here is suggesting I should be glad that my suit was stolen. You're very amusing, Mr.... Kent, is it? Yes, I'll remember that.
Nice work, Smallville. You're only the second person I've ever seen get under Lex's skin.
Who's the first?
Me. When I dumped him.
Whoa.
Listen, Bibbo. [Takes out some change] Take this and call Clark Kent at the Planet, let him know where I am, and tell him to call Police Commissioner Henderson if he doesn't hear from me in twenty minutes. Got that? Twenty minutes.
Um...
Thanks, Bibbo, I owe you one. [Leaves]
Yeah, yeah, sure. [To himself] Call Kirk Kent, know about the boat, and said somethin' about the police... [Sees a soda machine] Hey! Soda. [Looks at change; shrugs] She'll be okay.
[observing a picture of Superman]
Nice 'S'.
Excuse me?
Now that I've moved to Metropolis, it's going to be impossible to keep a low profile.
Yeah, I can see how pulling down an airliner in the middle of a city could turn a few heads.
It's not just that. People are calling me "Superman" now. Does this mean I'm going to have to give up my life?
No, son. It doesn't matter where you were born, or what you can do, you'll always be Clark Kent. Superman just helps out now and then.
Still, it wouldn't be bad if people knew a little more about Superman. I don't want anyone thinking you're like that nut in Gotham City.
You sound too good to be true. What's your secret?
What do you mean?
Well, you don't go around in blue tights and a cape all the time, do you? What do you do in your off hours?
I think that's a question for another time.
Call the police and let them know what's happening. I'm gonna try and stop that thing.
Be- [Superman flies off quickly] careful.
[After a lengthy battle with Corben in the Lexo-Skel. Superman breaks in and rips Corben out of the seat, holding him up by the throat]
Shall we go a few rounds without the suit?
Uh-uh.
Too bad.
[Lex Luthor sees Superman hovering outside his bay window, silently staring at him]
I'm afraid we already have a window washer.
[No response.]
Oh, the silent treatment, eh? Well, I don't know what you thought you heard out there, but I know what you can prove, and it's nothing. [still no response] You see, uh... Super-man... I own Metropolis. My technology built it, my will keeps it going, and nearly two-thirds of its people work for me whether they know it or not. Even you have to admit, it's a model of efficiency. And yet, I've often thought... why limit myself to just one city? A being with your abilities could be very useful to me on a, shall we say, global scale? Why don't you float on in and we'll discuss it?
[Still no response.]
[loses his composure] Say something!
[He grabs the model of the Lexo-Skel Suit 5000 and hurls it at Superman, who catches it and crushes it into powder between his hands.]
I'll be watching you, Luthor.
S1 E4Fun and Games
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...
That creep made me into a laughing stock! How could you let 'em get so close?
T1Thug #1
You wouldn't let us in the park, boss, remember?
T2Thug #2
You was afraid we'd scare the kids...
Miss Lane, pay attention to the story. And take good notes.
[Toyman hands Lois a kittykat style notepad suited for little girls. Toyman then shows a pop-up book]
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...
[Cut to Daily Planet office]
HHeadline
TOYMAKER SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS
"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."
Sounds like Bruno played him for a patsy.
[Cut to Toyman's hideout]
The bad man watched and laughed while the police locked the kindly toymaker in the dungeon forever. Clang!
[Cut to Daily Planet]
2 to 1, Schott's our Toyman.
Uh, I don't think so, Clark. Take a look.
[Presents the obituary of Winslow Schott Sr.]
His obituary?
Poor guy. He died before making parole.
Yeah, but he had a survivor.
[Cut to Toyman's hideout]
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.
Little boys shouldn't play with sharp objects.
Who invited you, Superman?
