would have a good...

What?

Don't you want my number?

You are so mysterious.

Yeah, yeah.

Look, baby, I got to go.

Are you going to fly today?

No, no,

I don't want to show off.

I understand.

I don't like flying myself...

and you...

especially without a plane.

We could have dinner Thursday.

What kind of food do you like?

Hey, Jeff! Hey, it's me... Malik.

How you doing?

This is my first time

in an inner-city mall.

Man, this is so clean!

There's no cigarette butts

or anything on the floor.

Butts?

- What time do you have?

- Oh, it's about...

Oh, my God. It's so late.

I have a hair appointment.

I'm getting dreadlocks put in.

I know what you want...

trying to feel on me.

- Stay chilly. Peace, I'm out.

- Chilly.

I told you he could fly.

You didn't even believe me.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's give it up for Meteor Man!

Love ya!

I'm Meteor Man!

I'm sorry.

I was going to tell you.

I don't want to hear it.

Take off my uniform.

And I thought I could meet

Janice Farrell.

Take off my uniform now!

Jeff, Jeff, just let me...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man.

This thing with the Golden

Lords is getting out of hand.

Now, last night, they had

the nerve to break in here.

Let me show you what they did.

Surprise!

Meteor Man!

Let's hear it

for the Meteor Man!

Jeff, this party

is just a little something...

to say thank you for making

our community safe again.

And now that our community

is safe...

we want to talk to you

about expanding.

We all have families

in different cities...

that need your help.

They don't mind paying

for hotel and food.

Guess there's no need

for air fare.

Mrs. Walker...

Ma?

I just came by

to give you a message.

Message...

you can't be everywhere

and save everybody.

Let's roll!

What does that mean?

Goodness.

Can I come in?

Sure.

You don't have to speak to me.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry

I acted stupid the other day.

Can you forgive me?

Sure, Meteor Man.

You're losing your powers.

Something weird's going on.

I feel sleepy.

I'm going home early. I don't

know what's happening to me.

You're just experiencing

the side effects...

of the meteor deteriorating.

You'll be fine.

Look at it like this.

You had a chance to do

what no man could ever do, huh?

You need to know

you can't flow with the note

Sucker DJs,

prepare for the death blow

Thank you, darling.

We didn't know

which apartment was his.

Come on.

Mr. Byers,

what are you doing here?

Your job.

I have it under control.

He's losing his powers.

I got him.

Well, you better...

or maybe you're gonna be

losing your powers, too.

What happened?

The Golden Lords dropped by

and paid you a visit.

Why didn't somebody wake me?

We tried, but I figured it out.

The meteor changed

your molecular cell structure...

which cause you to sleep more...

while your powers

are being re-energized.

That's why you couldn't get up

this morning.

Any time you use your powers,

it drains you.

I've been thinking, baby.

I think you should go away

for a couple of days.

I couldn't do that. I couldn't

just leave the community.

Well, nobody's asking you

to run away, Jeff.

Just, you know, leave town

for a couple of weeks.

I can't do that.

I got to get dressed.

Where's everybody at?

Most of them

are having a meeting...

in the community center.

What are we supposed to do...

just sit around

like sitting ducks...

and wait till

the gang comes back?

It was never this bad before.

They started a war on this

community, and we can't win.

Yes. We wouldn't be

in this situation...

if it wasn't for...

Jefferson Reed.

If we can get him

out of the neighborhood...

maybe we could make a deal

with the gang.

Maybe that's what we got to do.

Let's vote on it.

All right.

You don't have to vote.

I'll leave.

I'm sorry about what happened

to the neighborhood tonight...

but I feel even sorrier...

watching

what's going on in this room.

How can we stop the crime

and the gangs...

if we act like

we don't see them?

Everybody complains

about the police.

They aren't perfect.

But how can you complain...

when you do nothing?

You don't have to vote.

We're all guilty, Michael.

I don't blame them.

We're all guilty.

Those powers

gave me something...

the hero factor.

No pain...

so no fear of confrontation...

and I've never been committed

to anything before in my life.

To really be a winner...

you got to lose something.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

He's there.

Trucks! Trucks!

Trucks!

Put the trucks in position!

Cut all the phone lines now!

Put those trucks in position.

Let's do it.

I just wish I could talk to you

one last time...

to say thank you.

Meteor Man!

Jeff, man,

you can't go down there.

What am I supposed to do,

hide under the bed?

No, but you don't have

your superpowers.

You got a lot of heart.

I'm sorry what I did

to your neighborhood.

No more of this.

You do your thing, Meteor Man.

I'm going to go to New York.

Peace.

Kick his butt!

Somebody help him!

Get off me!

I don't need no help!

Gonna let the boss

punk you, huh?

Yeah!

Work on his eye, Simon!

Oh, you mad now, huh?

You dead, punk!

Any way you look at it...

I still got you.

Get him. Kill him.

Mr. Moses, get down!

Are you crazy?

You broke the golden rule.

Well, since

you want to save him...

Golden Lords!

That was stupid

what you just did!

What is that?

Did you do that?

Did you do that?

Get off of me!

Come on! You ain't bad!

You ain't nothin'!

We don't need to be

doing this, man.

Look at all this

black-on-black crime.

Get him!

This is what I think

of your Meteor Man!

Get up!

Get up, Meteor Man.

I said get up, punk!

Take him!

Take him, Larry! Take him out!

Show him, kung fu master Larry.

Show him, Larry.

Do it! Work him, Larry!

Get him, Larry!

Kung fu master Larry!

Do it. Do it, Larry.

Stop dancing, Larry!

Finish him off!

What is this?

You all right, Larry?

Where you going?

What's up with that?

Digit!

Meteor Man! Come here!

Thirty seconds. Damn!

Come on. Come on!

I got him, Goldie. I got him.

"Runway modeling"?

What's wrong with your man?

My man? L-l-l...

Don't touch my hair!

Thirty seconds.

Thank God!

That's what I'm talking about.

He's bad.

Meteor Man.

Now the world

will do what I say!

Shoot me!

Wait. Wait a minute. What?

Shoot me!

Yeah, boy!

I will be God on this planet!

Hey, Golden Lords, baby!

I want to meet

with all the world leaders.

Simon, look!

Show's over.

Says who?

Says Meteor Man.

Get him, baby!

Knock him out!

He can't do that to Simon.

Who do he think he is?

We got to do something.

He can't beat us all up.

Come on.

Time to get that butt kicked.

You want some

of the Meteor Man?

You want some of me?

Huh? Huh?

We'll see you again,

Meteor Man!

Baby Lords.

I'm gonna get you, Meteor Man!

I'm losing my powers again.

Hey, Meteor Man.

Finally I get to meet

Meteor Man, man.

Oh, you really...

you really have given me

a lot of grief.

I just had to be here.
