"(male narrator) Rocketed from a distant planet to a bold new destiny on Earth found by a Kansas family, and raised as Clark Kent he learned he possessed the strength of steel the speed of light and the desire to help all mankind." "He is Superboy." "[music continues]" "[flute music]" "[flute music]" "[groaning] [tires screeching] [crash]" "[flute music] [explosion]" "(Clark) You are not gonna die." "You hear me?" "[music continues]" "[coughs]" "[ambulance siren blaring]" "Be seeing you." "[music continues]" "(boy #1) Have you really been to India, Aunt Cassandra?" "(Cassandra) Mmm-hmm." "And Africa?" "And China, and Egypt and all sorts of wonderful places." "I wanna go to all those places, too." "Believe me, Clark, you will." "You'll do things that most people only imagine." "I can tell." "I wanna go everywhere." "I wanna understand all there is in-in the whole world." " Impossible." " Not for me." "What's real in life, what's truest is so huge and beautiful that our minds can't ever understand." "I can do it." "Well, then, maybe you'll be the one who will." "But don't be surprised when things in life are bigger than you." "And learn to take joy in the mystery." "(Lana) Mr. Clark?" "Mr. Clark?" "Come in, Clark." "Oh, hi, Lana." "You know, it seems like you're living on another planet." "Funny, I haven't thought of her in years." "Who?" " My Aunt Cassandra." " Cassy, the kook?" "Her name was Cassandra, and she wasn't a kook." "Her name was Cassy." "And you were the only one in Smallville who didn't think she was totally out there." "Even your mother knew." "And she's her sister." "Aunt Cassandra helped me to see who I am." "And what I can do with my life." "Oh, please, Clark." "Every few years she'd blow into town like a twister and fill your little head full of clouds and then, whirl off into the unknown." "I mean, talk about someone who lives in a different planet." "Lana, are you through?" "Clark, it was just a joke." "I like your Aunt Cassy." "Cassandra." "Whatever." "Didn't she move away to Paris, what, about ten years ago?" "That's what we heard." "But nobody knows for sure." "I wonder why she popped into my head now.." "[flute music]" " You hear that?" " What?" "[music continues]" "Come on, guys, follow the leader." " I'm gonna get you." " No, you ain't." "Oh, man!" "We'll go across here." " That's crazy." " Chicken!" "Well, you know, Clark.." "Clark?" "[dramatic music]" "Alright." "Now, you go." "It'd be too bad if we've to tell the guys you're a chicken." "[music continues]" "I think it's gonna give." "Stand still." "Don't move." "Go get some help, you moron!" "Hurry, I don't think I can hold on much longer." "Just don't wriggle around." "Just stand still." "[music continues]" "Aah!" "[music continues]" "You are real." "You were there at the bridge last night." "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "Be seeing you." "[intense music]" "(young Clark) Look at 'em all, Aunt Cassandra." "There's so much stuff out there." "Makes me dizzy." "That enormous universe out there.." "...it's alive." "And if you learn to trust it really trust it it'll take better care of you than you could ever take care of yourself." "It'll help you to fly." "Higher than you've ever dreamed." "(man on TV) In New York today..." "You mean nobody knows where she is?" "How about Cousin Bee?" "She was always so close to Cassandra." "Right, Cassy." "But if you'd call around, ma, I'd really" "I don't know." "I've just been thinking about her." "Yeah, thanks." "I love you, too." "(man #2 on TV) ..."

"[flute music]" "[coughing]" "(firefighter) Okay, that's the last of 'em." "Let's get outta here." "[coughing]" "[glass shattering]" "Somebody...help!" "You'll be alright." "[flute music]" "You didn't think I'd forget you, did you?" "You're responsible for this, aren't you?" "The responsibility is yours." "You keep trying to cheat me." "And you'll pay the price." "You'll pay the price." "No!" "I can't!" "[laughing]" "You're fast!" "You don't know the half of it." " What?" " Nothing." " Aunt Cassandra." " Hmm?" "How come you're so brave?" "You go all around the world all by yourself" "And you never get scared of anything." "Of course, I do." " Really?" " Mmm-hmm." "Then I just remind myself that fear is a just a paper wall." "Just part of the game." "Gotta push right through it." "Game?" "What do you mean?" "It's like when you and your friends play army or pirates or outer space don't you believe it so much sometimes that you scare yourselves?" "And sometimes, don't you enjoy the scary parts best of all?" "Well, I think life's a lot like that." "It's a game, Clark." "The most spectacular game there is." "And even when it scares the pants off of you especially when it scares the pants off of you you've gotta take joy in it." "Joy?" "In being scared?" "Joy in everything, Clark!" "[chuckling]" "I'm gonna get you, Clark!" " No, you're not!" " I am." "Come here!" "[telephone ringing] [ringing continues]" "Yeah, Clark Kent." "Cousin Bee!" "Yeah, I've been trying to get a hold of you for days now." "Ma, too?" "What?" "Yeah, hold on." "Yeah, I know." "She could've moved ten times by now but this-this is a start." "Yeah, me, too." "Next time I'm home." "Thanks, Cousin Bee!" "Thanks." "Listen, I was wondering if you could help me with this" "Lana, do me a favor?" "Cover for me?" "I always do." "[theme music]" "Excuse me, have you seen this lady over here?" "Sorry." "Are you sure you don't know her?" "I told you, I've never seen the lady." "Come on, this is such a small town." "You must have" "It may be a small town to you." "I got business to deal with." "[flute music]" "Think about it." "This is important." "Please." "I've never seen her." "I've never heard of her." "Excuse me?" "Have you seen this lady?" "Could be." "But I can't really say for sure." "If it's the woman I think it is, I hear she's been real sick." "Do you know where she lives?" "No, but I bet Mrs. Cooper will be able to help you out." "Thank you." "Got it." "She's been renting the Archon place." "Oh, about 15 miles outside town." "Mrs. Cooper, I-I could kiss you." "Oh!" "[pleasant music] [swooshing]" "Ahem!" "Come in." "[melancholic music]" "Clark!" "I knew you'd come." "Prayed for it." "You've grown into quite a man." "How are you?" "How do I look?" "Cancer?" "The doctors gave me this therapy, that therapy." "Tried to prove to me how wonderful medical science is." "Needless to say, I'm not convinced." "You'll beat this." "I'm tired, Clark." "I don't wanna fight anymore." "I can't." "You're not going to die." "I can help you." "You've already helped me." "Just by being here." "But there are things I can do." "I'm sure, but.." "[flute music]" "What's that music?" "It's so beautiful." "You can hear it, too?" "I've been hearing it for weeks now." "Well, you're not gonna hear it anymore." "I'll be right back." "Why go after her?" "If it's me you want, then come and get me." "I'm never after anybody." "I simply take what's mine." "She's not yours, and she never will be." "Whatever you are, I've beat you before, and I'll do it again." "You never beat me." "The man at the bridge the boy the old man it wasn't their time." "Why're you doing this?" "What pleasure can this give you?" "No pleasure." "When a soul's time's come, I simply do what has to be done." "After all, that's death's job." "[intense music]" "Death?" "[wind blowing]" "[intense music]" "(Cassandra) Clark?" "That is you, isn't it, Clark?" "[melancholic music]" "How can it be?" "Remember what I said to you all those years ago?" "The universe is bigger than you can ever dream." "Bigger even than Superboy." "And it can't be understood." "So you just trust it, and let it take care of you." "We can't trust her." "She's evil, Aunt Cassandra." "She fought me every step of" "Don't you understand?" "She answered the cry of my heart." "She played the game, Clark." "The way that you're.." "The way that Superboy is suppose to be playing the game." "Why do you think you were the only one who could hear her?" "She was leading you to me." "So I could say goodbye." "I have to go now." "No." "Yes, Clark." "Aren't you afraid?" "A little." "Maybe a lot." "But what fun would the game be if I wasn't?" "Into the mystery." "[pleasant music]" "Be seeing you." "[flute music]" "[melancholic music]" "(young Clark) Joy?" "In being scared?" "(Cassandra) Joy in everything, Clark." "Joy in everything!" "[pleasant music]" "[theme music]"
