"Supster." "Supster." "Where are you, now that I really need you?" "Aw, Sups, water?" "I hate water." "Aarrrggghhh." "There you are." "Sups, water." "I could learn to like it." "Ooohhh-aaaahhhh." "Hahahahahaha." "Something else going on here, Lana." "You know it." "I know it." "It's unavoidable." "Only in your dreams, Andy." "Wanna talk about dreams?" "I had a dream, us, together, on a desert island." "Just you and me and..." "Clark." "Clark." "They were all out of grape so I had to get orange." "No, orange is just fine." "Yeah, great choice there, Clark." "I put orange right under lemon-lime, really." "Oh, Clark." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I was just trying to get my towel." "I didn't mean it." "I mean, I didn't..." "Oh, no." "Not Mxyzptlk again." "What'd I tell you, Supy?" "Trouble." "Big trouble." "Supy." "Put me down." "Let me down." "Vlkabok, I'm getting mad." "I'm getting broiling mad." "Ohhhh." "I don't believe what I just saw." "Oh, my God." "Clark, what are we gonna do?" "Clark?" "Wait." "Wait a minute." "Maybe this is a dream or something." "No." "Mxyzptlk is no dream." "Trust me." "The guy's been here before." "What's mxyz..." "How about that timing?" "How did you know?" "Mxyzptlk sent me a message." "A plea for help." "What's a mxyzptlk?" "You know, you should have seen the thing that was after him." "No wonder he needs help." "An imp?" "Worse." "A huge giant." "I mean it looks like it was about to kill him or something." "Fine." "I don't care." "I don't wanna know." "I don't need this." "I am out of here, o-u" "Whoa." "I'm back." "All right, Mxyzptlk, what's it this time?" "Not even a hello?" "A how are you?" "How you doing?" "Can I lend a hand?" "I'm disappointed, Supy." "I came down to this dimension," "I thought you were the one guy who cared about the little fella." "So, this is Mxyzptlk." "What a geek." "Andy, I wouldn't do that." "Hey, nice outfit, pal." "Who took a bite out of your hat?" "Oh, yeah." "Aaaahhh." "Aaahhh." "Anyway, El Supo." "I got this problem..." "And here comes this problem." "You look very nice in a dress." "Hahaha." "That's very funny." "Now where did Superboy go?" "Are you guys all right?" "Last thing I remember, I was in that cabana over there." "And Mxyzptlk must have zapped me." "Zapped you?" "Zapped you?" "Look at me." "Andy, Andy, wait." "Look, let me just tell you something." "See, where this guy comes from, they all have these magical powers." "And they can do just about anything." "Really?" "This hair is real." "Mxyzptlk." "Mxyzptlk, when I find you, I'm gonna crush your bones into a fine, powdered ash." "Mxyzptlk, are you in there?" "Mxyzptlk." "Mxyzptlk." "Mxyzptlk, are you under there?" "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." "Hey, pal, that's my truck." "My name is not pal." "I am Vlkabok." "I hope you got insurance, because this is gonna cost you plenty, you big oaf." "I am big." "But I am no oaf." "You are a big tomato." "Aaahhhh." "Hahahaha." "Mxyzptlk." "You know it took that guy almost two hours to cut my hair and get it back in shape." "And then three guys tried to pick me up on the way there." "God, Clark, you really let this place go." "Hey listeners, get a load of this." "We just had a report on the wire that a building on the corner of orange and sixth street has just disappeared, can you dig that?" "They even got eye witnesses verifying the building seemed to vanish into thin air." "We're not saying we believe it 'til we see it." "But in this case-- imagine that, huh?" "Police are checking out the story." "A building up and disappears." "Now back to another six pack of rock rules." "Hey, you think it has anything to do with that Mxyzptlk guy?" "Look, Andy, I gotta run for a second." "If you talk to Lana, would you tell her that" "I have to talk to her tonight." "Okay?" "Clark." "I hate to break this to you so fast." "But I finally broke Lana down and she's going to a movie with me tonight." "Clark." "Clark?" "Excuse me, Officer, may I pass through?" "Sure thing, Superboy." "Mxyzptlk, where are you?" "Right over here, my blue-suited friend with the red cape." "So what's been keeping you?" "You know, it's no fun being pursued by this thing that looks like a locomotive." "Mxyzptlk, this building is gone." "Oh, yeah, well, I been meaning to replace it." "But I think the doors are in Pittsburgh." "This bully, Vlkabok, he must be really mad at you." "Mad at me?" "That doesn't even say it." "Really furious says it better." "Hah." "Any reason?" "Well, I just played this little practical joke on him." "I took away everything he had and I put him on his desert island for 103 human years." "And I gave him a bad case of athlete's foot." "So Vlkabok wants revenge." "You gotta help me, Supy." "Come on." "Please." "All right, I will." "Providing we can reverse everything that" "Vlkabok's done in this dimension." "Oh, okay." "So we got a deal." "That Vlkabok can't touch a nymph from the fifth dimension who becomes a citizen in this dimension." "And I figured out how we're gonna do that." "Know what it is?" "You and Lana gotta become my mom and dad." "Dad." "No." "No." "I..." "This is totally insane." "Gee, my little gal pal." "It's not my fault." "I was born in the fifth dimension and an imp." "I'm supposed to create havoc." "The only way we're gonna get rid of both of them, is by playing along." "We've gotta become parents." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "We better hurry up or vlkabok's gonna destroy half the city." "He's kidding, right?" "I mean look at this place." "Mxyzptlk has some interesting taste." "I'm a little scared." "Think this is really gonna work?" "My powers aren't that useful against magic." "And this Vlkabok is even more powerful than Mxyzptlk." "Dad's home." "Dad's home." "Dad, Dad, can you pick me up, please, Dad, please, Dad." "I love you so much, Dad." "I'm so glad you're home." "Oh, Dad." "I love Mom, too." "Mom, I love you so much." "And I wanna kiss you all over your face." "Wait a minute." "Isn't this supposed to be done in front of Vlkabok?" "Vlkabok, yes." "And I invited him over here." "And please, Mom and Dad, please let him come over." "I don't know if I can put up with this." "Well, you're gonna have to because you don't wanna see me fed to the goldfish and cut up in little pieces and thrown in a pond, do you?" "He's here." "Ready or not, here he comes." "Where is he?" "There he is." "Hey, I came to play." "My bestest pal, in the whole world, Vlkabok." "Vlkabok, come meet my mom and dad." "Mr. and Mrs. Superboy." "Dad, tell Vlkabok how you take me to ball games." "You know." "And how you shoot baskets with me." "And how you, you know, break anybody's neck who messes with me." "Well, are you sure that that's your mom and dad?" "Then why isn't Superboy kissing your mom?" "They always kiss." "Don't you, Mom and Dad?" "Sure we do." "See, now you can go home, Vlkabok." "But, but I'm hungry." "I wanna stay over." "Okay." "And I eat a lot." "He eats a lot, Mom and Dad." "Oh, that will be just fine." "Mom, Mom, can I set the table?" "That would be nice, honey." "Thank you." "Vlkabok, get a load of this." "Neat, huh?" "Mxyzptlk, that's not the kind of table manners" "we accept in this house." "Oh, yeah." "You behave or I'm gonna send you to your room without dinner." "Dad, don't embarrass me in front of my friend," "Vlkabok." "Why this sure is good, Mrs. Superboy." "Thank you, Vlkabok." "That is if you really are Mrs. Superboy." "Dad, can me and Vlkabok go watch TV?" "It's okay with your mother, go ahead, boys." "How much longer do we have to put up with this?" "Until Vlkabok is completely convinced that we're Mxyzptlk's parents." "Sonny, where are you?" "I'm calling Sonny." "Sonny." "Hahahaha." "Ho ho." "Isn't great just to be good friends?" "Just best buddies, huh?" "And to think an hour ago, I was gonna kill you very painfully." "Hahaha." "Isn't this nice honey, watching TV with our son and his best friend?" "Can I sleep over?" "Well, I don't know if your parents would approve," "Vlkabok." "No, it's no problem." "Because for about 50 years, I've had them locked up in a cellar." "With thousands of bugs and snakes." "Okay." "In that case, it's fine." "Oh, thank you, Mr. Superboy." "Okay, Mom, I'm coming to kiss you goodnight." "Bye, Mom." "Me and Vlkabok are gonna go upstairs under the covers with a flashlight and read the comic books." "Andy." "So, looks like you guys had a big party." "And when it came time to write the invitations," "I was just overlooked." "Andy, this is not a good idea." "I been looking for you all over." "I saw your car outside." "I thought we were gonna see a movie tonight." "But I guess she had other plans, didn't she, Superboy." "Ho, what this guy again." "Are you their son, too?" "Chief, if I play my cards right, this red-headed bombshell is gonna be my date, comprendez?" "But she's married to him." "Oh, big guy." "Nothing's a little bit mixed up here." "See, these two are just friends." "Platonic friends." "Oh, now I'm getting very angry and ashamed of all of you." "You lied to me." "But I'm very happy." "Because now I get to kill him." "Many, many, many, many times." "Uh-oh." "Look, I can see it's probably the wrong time." "And I'm probably bugging you, so why don't I just amscray, huh?" "You're right." "You are a bug." "Andy." "Hahahaha." "Hohohoho." "No, you don't." "Andy." "There he is." "Got him." "Just kidding." "Uh-oh." "I think Supy's cooked." "Vlkabot's using his full magical power." "Well, you gotta help him." "Please." "Well, I'll do the best I can." "I'm gonna really kill you now." "Superboy, you did it." "With a little help from my magic." "Yeah, but we still have the problem of getting this big guy back into the fifth dimension." "We gotta get him to say his name backward." "I got a plan." "Vlkabok, you're in big trouble now." "The Kobaklvs are after you." "The who?" "The Kobaklvs." "What are you deaf?" "What's a Kobaklv?" "There." "I got him to say his name backwards." "Now all the damage he's done, has gone back to normal." "You proud of me, Sup?" "I'll be proud of you when you're gone." "Which is gonna be now." "Aw, Sup, that means I gotta wander around for 90 days in the fifth dimension." "Vlkabok might be after me again." "That's a chance you're gonna have to take." "We did our part." "Okay, okay." "I do owe you one." "Well, sweetie, next time you're in the fifth dimension, look me up." "Kltpzyxm." "I'm..." "Andy, Andy, I'm sorry." "Are you all right?" "Hahaha." "Hahahaha."
