Love.

The cards have decided

people will do

anything for love.

They'll jump off

cliffs for love.

They'll drown themselves

like lemmings.

So...I'll make

everybody love me.

Oh, no chance.

You're an awful person,

honey, remember? Forget it.

Use your imagination, pinhead.

That's what magic is all about.

Why are we not moving?

Because I'm in love.

Come here,

you beautiful thing.

He's cute.

Hey, what's going on?

Here's an exercise in

big numbers I want you to try...

It's trying to tell

me something.

Well, what?

That we're near danger?

I don't know.

How do I know?

- I know.

- Well, tell me.

My prince has come.

Oh, no.

I saw him first, Selena.

That's not fair.

I copied his number first.

Well done.

Now, let's get out of here.

...average size

of a Chinese family

average age of death

and marriage and pregnancy.

Use this equation to compute

the population of China

in the year 2040.

Linda...are you with us?

Umm...

- Yes, sir, I am.

- Oh, are you?

Where, might I ask?

W-well, here, sir.

On Earth...sir.

How fortunate

for the rest of us.

May I presume that whilst

you were staring at the wall

and not at your terminal like

your other little friends here

you were in fact,

hard at work

solving this little equation?

Oh, yes, sir, I was.

- I mean, I was...

- Excellent.

The answer, please.

Pay attention, class, Miss Lee

is about to enlighten us.

Five billion, two hundred

and seventy one million

nine thousand and ten.

Come on, let's get outta here

before he makes you stay.

Come on, hurry.

Miss Lee.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Yes, sir?

Have you been going

through my papers?

Of course not, sir.

Then how do you know

the correct answer?

- How?

- I guess, I just...

It's all this crazy weather

we've been having, sir.

All the storms, shock waves,

electromagnetism.

It makes people smarter

than they are for a second.

We gotta go, sir.

Oh, boy, thanks.

You know I gotta learn...

How did you know the answer?

I don't know.

Six-dimensional geometry.

- I never could do it before.

- Yeah.

Well, you want some

friendly advice?

Don't go showing it off

'cause nobody's gonna like you.

I'll see you later.

Ah!

Nice going.

You know she tripped

you on purpose?

Absolutely.

She's retarded.

There's not much time left.

Come on, let's go.

You take it, Myra.

Hey, Myra, see if you can

put Lane out for good.

Come on, team. Come on.

Hey, you guys alright?

- Oh, God. What happened?

- Yes. You alright?

Myra, how'd she do that?

- It hit her shoulder.

- I don't know.

Hey, you guys, did you see that

cute guy in the softball field?

Oh, yes.

With the black hair

and the big muscles?

He was something else.

- Did you talk to him?

- No, but I'm gonna.

Talk? Who'd

waste time talking?

He's working on the trees,

could be around for a while.

- Are they in?

- Yes.

Myra, you sure you wanna

go through with this?

Hey, what's with you?

Chicken?

Oh, boy, I'm really

gonna enjoy this.

I can't wait to hear

them scream.

Why don't you shut off the hot

and give them an ice bath?

Are you kidding me?

That's nowheresville.

If you shut off the cold

you'll scald them.

So they lose a little skin.

Serves them right.

I want to see them suffer.

A-ah!

I am wet!

Ow!

Don't leave me. Don't leave me!

I hate you!

You never looked better!

We'll get you all!

What do you think?

It looks the same to me.

It's kinda dull.

All you need is a couple of

streaks and your ears pierced.

I can do it

free of charge.

My ears what?

Pierced. Like in you know,

I take a needle

I heat it up and then I dab it

with some alcohol and zap.

All the guys go crazy.

Because I've holes in my ears?

What are you, putting me on?

Sometimes I can't

figure you out, Linda.

So, where are you

going this weekend?

Nowhere.

Nowhere? Well, you can't

stay around here.

This place is depressing.

I mean, like the tombs.

- Why?

- Why?

What, were you born

yesterday?

This is a three-day weekend.

A three-day weekend.

So, listen. Why don't

you come home with me?

I only live about five miles

from here and I got this guy

coming up from Metropolis.

I think he knows

your cousin Clark.

His name's Jimmy Olsen.

I think he's real stuck on me.

Anyways, I could ask him

to bring a friend along.

- What are you doing?

- Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

No, I think I'm gonna

stay here and study

get things organized.

Don't forget to

call me Saturday.

Just a sec.

- Hey, Linda.

- Hi.

I'll see you later

at Popeye's then, okay?

- Alright, I'll try. I promise.

- You better. It's gonna be fun.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Have a good time.

Come along now, Lucy.

- Oh, mom, how are you doing?

- I've had a terrible week.

"Take a spider off' his web...

"...and shut him up inside...

"...two shells of a nut.

"Now, boil the nut in oil

"into which has been added

"some of the web.

"With a silver spoon,

put two drops...

"...of the oil

"into some water.

Right.

"He who drinks the water

"shall be in love

with the first person he sees.

"Uh, so long as the spider

is shut up in the nutshell.

"Or one day goes by...

...whichever comes first."

Big deal, one day.

Why don't you just use,

you know.

I'm saving it

for bigger things.

Hi, folks'

you're missing the big sale.

Country and western boys

from the Chicago area.

Now to start off the hour.

Bianca, get the door.

Bianca!

You rang?

Hey, you!

I said...

...you rang?

Oh, yeah.

How you doing?

Uh, I'm looking for some person

called Mrs. Selena?

- Madame Selena.

- Oh.

And you found her,

lucky boy.

Entrer.

You must be very popular

in the neighborhood.

I always see your truck

parked around.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I get a lot of repeat

business. People like my work.

Yes, I'm sure they do.

- Wet your whistle?

- Huh?

Oh, yeah, yeah, as a matter

of fact, I don't mind if I do.

So, uh, where's

the one...ha-ha at?

It dropped dead.

Where at exactly?

Uh, out back?

We might get to know each other

a little more

before we dig in

and talk real turkey.

Well, uh, see, I'm kind of

a private person, you know.

I mean, I do my work,

I go home.

- To your wife?

- No.

At the present moment in time

I'm currently enjoying

a single status in

my personal life.

Cheers.

Bottoms up, huh?

Bottoms up.

I, I noticed you got a pretty

alkaline-looking soil out there.

What I want...

...are some houseplants

inside here.

Something that goes well

with the house.

This is a house?

Of course, it's a house.

There's the bedroom

over there.

I think it's getting

dark in here.

You know, what kind of plant

is gonna wanna...

...grow in this dump?

I don't know.

Shade plants.

- To us.

- Hm?

And to the seeds

we'll plant together.

Yeah, I'll-I'll drink...

...to that.

Hm, you probably killed him,

you know.

Sleep well.

And when you wake...

...drown in my eyes

and be all mine.

If that's the goddamn

Jehovah's witnesses again.

I'll get it.

Oh, hello, Nigel.

It's you.

Nice suit.
