- You're a genius.

You've invented a machine

that can find anybody's weak spot.

Congratulations, old buddy.

You'll go down in history

as the man who killed Superman!

I'm... No.

Superman!

No!

- Where do you think you're going?

- Never mind.

- Turn the power up.

- Don't you think he's had enough?

Turn it up!

Power! More power!

Seventy-five. Current 7.75.

There's a current level of 7

that is not supposed to be on bar...

Oh, here it is!

What's going on?

I don't know. The power's gone.

Gus must have pulled the plug out.

It worked.

It worked! I got it!

What have you got?

- Give me that screw.

- This screw?

- That screw.

- Never!

What?

Holy!

No! Make it stop!

I can't! It's out of control!

But how?

Where's it getting the power from?

It's feeding itself.

It wants to live!

It's this thing here.

We'll go to the zoo.

I'll do that tomorrow,

and then we'll go on to the...

- What's happening?

- It's okay, Ricky.

Put the lights on!

Stop it! You're killing him!

Stop it!

Hey. Put me down!

Don't leave us alone

in here! Superman!

Oh, I get it.

The coaxial energy shaft is engaging

the grid source factor. Right.

We're through, pugface.

I'm splitting.

Hey, wait a minute!

Girls. Girls, come out of there!

Sis?

Oh, my God.

What is that?

Sis, it's your Bubba!

Help me. Help!

Superman!

Honey!

Honey, I'm stuck here! Help!

What about me?

Look out!

Bubba?

Thank you, brother.

Regular or premium?

She hasn't had a drink in so long,

give her a tankful of the good stuff.

How you doing?

Please don't talk to me.

I'm having enough trouble hanging on.

Okay, we'll go slow.

You're perfectly safe.

I won't argue with you.

Any man who can trick my machine

can do anything.

How did you beat my defenses?

Those defenses are good as long as

it didn't know it's in trouble.

This time it didn't see the danger.

I went in with plain old acid.

It didn't know that when acid gets hot,

it'll eat through anything.

Watch the trees.

I guess it died of acid indigestion.

But what's gonna happen

to Ross and the ladies?

They'll have to see the police.

It's not your problem anymore.

Are we in Metropolis yet?

Nope. I'm just gonna make

a little stop. Right over there.

We're on the ground, Gus.

- You okay, Supe?

- I'm fine.

Excuse me.

Can you guys spare one of these?

- Sure, Superman.

- It is Superman, isn't it?

Are you kidding? Is that?

Didn't you see us fly out of the sky?

We're the only two men who can fly.

"Is it Superman?"

Just right.

Okay, let's go.

I was afraid you'd say that.

I thought I'd take the bus.

Well, suit yourself.

Does your boss have a computer here?

Yeah, he got a little bitty one

about that big.

You tell him he can do a lot worse

than to give Gus Gorman here a job.

Wow, thank you, Supe.

Take care.

I'll see you around.

So long.

Take it easy, man.

Well, you got good references,

so if you want that job...

Nah, this is not for me.

I think I'll take that bus.

Where's the bus station?

Yeah, about 9, 10 miles

over there.

Nine or 10 miles.

Hey. You really flew with him?

Superman?

Have you ever seen Superman before?

Oh, you don't know about me and him?

Me and Superman?

Yeah, we go way back together.

We always, usually, sometimes, we...

Nine or 10 miles?

I think I'll walk.

Yeah, I'll walk.

Clark.

What a nice surprise! Come in.

Hi, Mr. Kent.

- Guess who Mom's having dinner with?

- Who?

Superman!

Yeah, that's what I came to tell you.

Superman said to tell you he's sorry...

...but he's run into a problem

and he can't make dinner with you.

I guess he misses a lot of dinners.

Would you mind settling for me?

Any day.

I'll get my things.

Lana, I was talking

to Superman the other day.

You know, he and I, we talk a lot.

He felt badly about you having

to pawn your diamond ring.

Well, he found...

He found this one just lying around.

He wanted you to have this.

Wow, a ring from Superman!

- It's okay. I got it.

- Sorry.

- Oh, Clark.

- It's okay.

It fits.

It looks really pretty.

Thank you.

Brad.

Son of a b*tch.

Kent, I hate you.

I've always hated you.

- You know why?

- No.

- Because you're nice.

- Not really.

And nice guys finish last.

Lois, I've got to hand it to you.

Who else could turn

a vacation into a story...

...that'll blow the lid off

of corruption in the Caribbean?

I knew I was onto something

when that taxi driver kidnapped me.

Lois, you're terrific.

I have to be.

Seems I've got some new competition.

The story that you wrote

on the class reunion?

- I thought it was terrific.

- Thanks.

And fascinating. I liked the part

about the little girl back home.

I'll take you to lunch

and you tell me about it.

I'd love to, but I'm having lunch

with Mr. White's new secretary.

- Hi, Lana.

- Hi, Clark.

Lois, say hello to Lana Lang.

Smallville's newest gift to Metropolis.

Glad to meet you.

I like your writing a lot.

Thank you.

I like your sparkler a lot.

Me too. I couldn't believe it

when Clark gave it to me.

Clark gave it to you?

Mr. White.

Mr. White, look what I've got for you.

People, I am in love

with this machine!

Excuse me, but I have a couple

of errands to run before lunch.

- Go ahead, Mr. White.

- Where's the handle?

There is no handle.

You just push the button.
