What will it do?

Anything I tell it.

What will it do for me?

For you? It will do anything you

tell me to tell it to do for you.

Tell me.

First of all, if anyone attacks

this machine or anything...

...the computer counterattacks it.

It finds their witnesses

and wipes them out.

Right, old buddy.

You deal with my oil

and I'll build you your machine.

Okay, I'll do it.

But I'm not so sure about

this irreversible business.

They all kind of went...

What the hell?

That's it. The last tanker.

They're all mine now.

All mine.

Not quite.

What's that in

the upper-middle quadrant?

It's a tanker.

And it's going the wrong way.

Skipper?

There it is again.

"Proceed immediately to...

...latitude 30 north,

longitude 45 west.

There await further orders."

Hell, that's the middle

of the Atlantic.

I'm not taking my ship there

to "await further orders"...

...no matter what that says.

We're supposed to go to Metropolis,

and we're going to Metropolis.

All right.

That's where she is.

Come on, get it up there.

Miss?

Miss, can you hear me?

Listen, we are here to help you.

Don't jump. I repeat, do not jump!

Thought you'd never come.

Don't expect me to save you.

I don't do that anymore.

Don't worry.

I'm long past saving.

Don't let me keep you from anything.

I'm not in a rush.

What did you have in mind?

Lots of things.

Oh, yeah?

If you'll just do me

one little favor first.

What's that?

See, there's this little boat...

...and it's not going where

it's supposed to go and...

Stop all engines!

Stop all engines!

Hi.

How about a little aprs-ski?

Champagne?

Take your turn like everybody else!

Stop it!

He's coming over here, Martha.

Don't you do that!

Hit him with your handbag!

Help me! Please, help me.

Somebody's beating up my husband.

- I've gotta call the police.

- Jack, go with her, okay?

The third one today,

and at night it's worse.

Somebody's behind this.

You can't say there's no oil.

You can't say someone's

not getting rich off this.

Someone's always getting rich.

You know who suffers?

The small guy.

The east coast gets the brunt

of the spill.

No, I cannot go out with you tonight.

I'm busy tomorrow night too.

Oh, yeah? Doing what?

I'll think of something. Look...

...I gotta go. Ricky needs me.

Brad, please stop calling me.

I've told you!

Well, you listen to me, huh?

You better start appreciating

ol' Brad.

What else you got in Smallville?

What else have I got in Smallville?

I think I got the right answer.

So do I.

Smallville Airport, what flights

do you have to Metropolis tomorrow?

- Where do I put this?

- Over there.

- Where do you want this?

- Load it up there.

Just leave him alone.

I can't get through.

Something's happening.

Hey, look! Superman's drunk!

I want to see what's happening here.

- Thank you.

- It's a disgrace, that's what.

Nobody's ever gonna trust

that creep again.

He's washed up.

What are you looking at? Huh?

Excuse me. Superman?

It's me, Ricky.

Ricky from Smallville.

Tell them you won't hurt anybody!

He's changed.

No! Maybe he's just sick.

Superman, please get better!

He's not listening to you.

Yes, he is. He can hear me.

He's got super-hearing.

Superman, you're just in a slump!

You'll be great again!

You can do it, Superman!

Superman, you can hear me, can't you?

Superman, you're just in a slump.

You'll be great again.

You can do it, Superman.

He's gone nuts!

Come on!

I can give as good as I get.

Yeah? All right, come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

What's the matter, Kent?

Too warm for you, huh?

Come on, chicken! Come and get me.

You've been on my nerves

a long time!

You always wanted to fly, Kent.

Now's your chance.

Skipper!

God, would you look at that!

Miss Lorelei Ambrosia

isn't at home right now.

But if you'd care

to leave a message...

... why not deliver it to her...

... in person?

So you've finally shown

your true colors.

Well, if you're looking for us,

here's where you'll find us.

Do drop in.

This is fun!

Fun? The fun's just starting.

Wait till Superman finds us,

then you'll see some fun.

Wait, you gonna mess with Superman?

Let's go. I want to be ready for him

when he falls into our trap.

I just don't see why you can't

balloon down like the rest of us.

Well...

No way. Uh-uh.

I just don't believe a man can fly.

Watch out, horsy!

Don't, don't, don't.

Just don't try to fly.

Don't try to fly!

Will you get out of my way!

- Hurry! Hurry up!

- I am hurrying.

- I can't see anything.

- Turn on the light.

- Where's the light switch?

- Where do you usually find it?

I don't know.

I guess I'll check the doorway.

God, it's pitch-black in here.

Oh, that's better.

Wow, what a jukebox!

I told you, didn't I?

There. The ultimate computer!

It does everything a computer can do

and 1000 things none of them can!

Let's give it a dry run.

Wait. We've gotta wait for Gus.

Who needs Gus?

- Only he can operate it.

- Like fish, he is!

I know enough about computers

to put a Ph.D. To shame.

Come now, brother dear,

you didn't think...

...I'd let that little man

run the show, did you?

Why don't peons tidy up

when they're done?

Come on, Bubba, it's showtime.

Engage those buttons to

activate the alpha circuit...

...and lock the modular grid.

You! Activate circuits

...and start full-power coordinates

on exterior defensive systems.

In other words, push this red button.

How did you know about that?

He's here!

Let's give him

something to worry about.

Now, let's see...

Tracking systems locked.

Let the games begin.

Don't tense up now, honey.

Come on, Bubba,

you're wasting your rockets.

Come on, Superman!

Let him have it, Ross.

Bubba, keep firing.

Keep him occupied

while I get the MX ready.

What the hell is going on?

Keep your rockets coming. He won't

notice the missile till too late!

So much for your catlike reflexes.

Oh, God!

No more. Look, you sit.

Sit, sit!

Help!

Hello!

Get to, jackass!

That's him out of the way.

Sis, how would you like to control

all the world's weapons systems?

Baby!

It's Daddy!

Hey, what are you doing with my baby?

Gus, old buddy, genius.

Come up and join the fun.

He's still coming.

Arm the inner defenses.

All right, the game's over.

Hi, honey.

I don't know you, lady.

But the other night...

I'm sorry, but that wasn't me.

That guy's gone.

And you're next, Webster.

Never underestimate

the power of computers.

How do you like it?

I think it's typical

of people like you, Webster.

Instead of helping others,

you four just help yourselves.

Four...

...of you?

You mean, us? Four? Wait...

Hey, man!

That's only his last name.

He likes to be called "Superman."

See, I'm not with them, Superman.

You could've fooled me.

That's very good.

Let's see how long

he can carry on without any air.

He's still coming!

He's going to get me!

Don't bet on it!

You're hurting him.

- That's Kryptonite!

- Yes.

- This time we got it right!
