don't have any cerillium.

Besides, it's immoral.

We don't do that sort of thing.

We're a pharmaceutical

company.

Wait a minute.

Take a look.

Hawking's lab is

in the physics building.

I could just

walk right in.

You're going

to steal cerillium?

No, not me.

I'm a law abiding citizen.

But perhaps there's

someone inside me.

Someone unfettered

by the rule of law.

Someone who will,

at any cost, survive!

Ow!

Oh, glass in my eye.

Glass in my eye!

- Does it hurt?

- Uh, yeah, it hurts.

Well, if you could spread...

spread them with your fingers.

Push your lids

with your fingers.

- Two... two... two fingers.

- Are your fingers clean?

That's it. And roll

your eyeball around.

- And push it.

- I'm rolling it!

Dig it out with

another piece of glass.

Are you fricking insane?

I'll get the tweezers.

Read about the Dragonfly,

world's greatest hero.

- Right here?

- Right here, yup.

Read all about it.

No, you listen to me!

I want that story

on my desk or you're fired!

Who the hell are you?

I was wondering if you've

got a job opening for...

Job?! How dare you come in here

and ask me for a job?

I'm the editor in chief!

I know the mayor of Venus!

Hamburgers can see

the future!

- Rosie O'Donnell...

- Sorry about this.

We share the building

with a mental hospital.

Bad news, boss. We're nowhere on

those Dragonfly photos.

Damn. Those were

tomorrow's lead.

What about these?

Wow! it's almost like

you're the Dragonfly.

Uh, no no no.

See?

Look.

Now that's photography.

Just heard on the scanner, some kind

of police standoff at Empire University.

We'll need photos.

Kid, I want you to...

Where'd he go?

Come on, let's go!

This is the chief of police.

We have the building surrounded.

Come out with your hands up.

What the hell is that?

I am the Hourglass.

And your time is up.

Get him, Dragonfly.

It's over, Hourglass.

No, Dragonfly.

It's just begun!

It's useless to resist.

I'll fight you

to my last breath.

Like the sands of time

I am unceasing and relentless.

Evil never triumphs,

Hourglass.

You'll pay for your crimes

and justice will...

stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Are you okay?

No.

Titanium blades.

They cut through diamonds.

I'm not wearing any diamonds.

Ooh, ow!

Ow!

I wish I could stay longer,

Dragonfly.

But I just don't

have the time.

Whoever this Dragonfly is,

he's in over his head.

We don't need so-called

superheroes.

What Empire City needs

is more cops.

And a Hooters.

Titanium blades. Looks like someone

found your weakness.

It's not my weakness.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

Your weakness is you can't fly.

Maybe if you had a partner.

I don't need help.

I'm fine all by myself.

She means a lot to you,

doesn't she?

What?

Oh, no.

I mean, she's with

someone else.

Well, maybe

that's for the best.

After all,

it could be dangerous,

you know, being the girlfriend

of the Dragonfly.

I don't know what

to do, Aunt Lucille.

- I love her.

- So be it.

But remember,

to get to you

your enemies will attack

the people you care for the most.

Be careful not to hurt

the ones you love.

And shave your pubes.

No one wants to go down

on a tumbleweed.

Jill!

Rick?

I heard you were auditioning

for a part so...

Oh, they're beautiful.

God, you are so supportive.

Why can't Lance

be more like you?

There's something you're not

telling me, isn't there?

Something secret.

Something locked away

deep inside.

It was summer camp.

We had to share a shower.

You trip and fall with your mouth

open on one guys...

No!

I mean, in here.

Well, there is...

Keep your identity a secret, Rick.

Dude, you're like a real superhero, man!

Once a month

you'll bleed from you vagina.

I...

nothing.

Nothing?

Well, I should go.

You're a good friend.

Hey, check this out.

Hey, check this out.

Oh, sh*t.

- Let's go.

- Get her.

Oh God, it hurts.

It hurts.

Please stop!

I'm begging you!

Wait!

- Where are you?

- Behind you.

You saved my life.

Do I get to thank you?

Go.

Be a hero.

Yeah.

It looks like you're planning

a mass murder.

Would you like help?

Paper clip guy.

I'm so happy that you

and your boyfriend

are spending Thanksgiving

with us.

Of course, Lucille.

You need support

at a time like this.

Yes, I miss seeing

my Albert each morning.

You know, 50 years

of marriage

creates quite a bond.

I wish I knew love

like that.

Oh, you will, dear.

You just have to

follow your heart.

That's the thing.

I don't know if I can.

Oh, Jill.

If you can't trust yourself

who can you trust?

I know.

But what if my heart

is telling me to be with someone

I can't be with?

It's not just any guy.

It's the...

forget it.

You'll think I'm crazy.

No, of course not.

You can tell me anything.

I'm very good

at keeping secrets.

You'll think it's

ridiculous, but...

it's the Drag...

- I'll get it.

- Thank you.

Hey, babe.

Oh, I forgot to tell you

I kinda invited my uncle.

- Your uncle?

- What? Set another plate.

Well, okay.

I guess.

Miss Johnson. Please,

excuse my nephew's poor manners.

- Thank you.

- Mrs. Adams, I'm Lou Landers.

I hope this isn't

too much of an imposition.

Oh, of course not.

There's always room for one more.

Thank you.

It's just Thanksgiving

is for family.

Lance is the only family

I have.

- I never married.

- Fruitcake?

Nope, just never met

the right woman.

Ah, yes, Lance told me

Rick Riker was your neighbor.

Where is Rick?

That's odd.

I thought he was out.

I'll go check on him.

Please, you're busy.

Allow me.

Thank you.

Upstairs, second door to the right.

Rick?

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, Mr. Landers.

Rick.

No, you're just on time.

Everybody,

take your seat.

Ohhh.

Ah ah ah!

Not till we say grace.

Jesus!

Amen.

Please start,

everyone.

This all looks

so delicious, Lucille.

We have Rick

to thank for it.

Ever since Albert...

Rick has been supporting me

with his new job.

New job?

You didn't tell me.

Oh well, I'm sort of the Dragonfly's

unofficial photographer.

What happened to your arm?

Uh...

a bike messenger

knocked me down.

I see

your wrist is bandaged.

Yes, I burned it

on some hot coffee.

And you have a cut on your lip.

Uh...

my crackpipe broke.

You have a scratch

on your neck.

Yes, I...

met a girl

on Craigslist.

And you have a bruise

on your neck.

I...

met a guy

on Craigslist.

I'm sorry, Lance.

We have to go.

- Why?

- I...

shat my pants.

I'll drive.

- Thanks for helping clean up.

- Of course.

Poor thing's so tired.

Yeah, well, you know

old folks after a big meal.

So... you know the Dragonfly?

Uh...

yeah, I guess.

You could sorta say

we're close.

Has he...

has he ever asked about me?

Um, yeah.

- Yeah, once.

- What did you tell him?

Well, I said...

I told him...

I told him, "The thing

about Jill is...

when you look in her eyes

and she looks back in yours...

- you know that

you'd do anything

anything to be a better person

than you are.

So that...

- if you were ever
