"[theme music]" "[music continues]" "[thunder rumbling]" "[intense music]" "[unzipping bag]" "[music continues]" "[music continues]" "(male #1)" " Put it back." " Put it back?" "Take whatever else you want..." "anything...but put that back." "Valuable, huh?" "Not valuable, you idiot." "Dangerous, it's cursed." " What are you talking about?" " Bad luck." "Anybody who comes near you, terrible things will happen." "The suffering-the suffering that has caused down through history." "It's evil." "Yeah?" "Then what are you doin' with it?" "I didn't know at first." "Then my wife.." "I have every intention of destroying it." "Yeah, I might not be the smartest guy on two feet but I ain't totally stupid." "[thunder rumbling] [intense music] [thunder rumbling]" "[music continues]" "[engine revving] [tires screeching]" "(Clark) Well, that was kinda fun." "Oh, please." "A man's bitten by a radioactive frog gets magical leaping' powers and then puts on a green costume and fights crime, it was ridiculous." "Alright, well, the green costume was a bit much but.." "[tires screeching]" "That idiot is gonna kill somebody." "[tires screeching]" " We better call the police." " It's a.." "Clark." "I should be used to this by now." "[dramatic music]" "What's your problem?" "I thought you only went after guys like Metallo and Luthor." "Okay, okay." "I surrender, alright?" "Surrender?" "You better get out of the car." "[thunder rumbling] [sparks crackling]" "Oh, ah." "[zapping] [screaming] [dramatic music] [tires screeching]" "Lana, are you alright?" "I-I think so." "[lightning crackling ]" "Superboy?" "I-I thought lightning wasn't supposed to strike the same place twice." "[intense music]" "[gasping]" "Phew!" "I mean, he had me." "If it wasn't for that lightning, I woulda.." "[dramatic music] [thunder rumbling]" "Terrible things to anyone who comes...near me." "[evil laughter]" "[phone ringing]" " Leak's back." " I thought they fixed that." "They did." "Three times." "[phone ringing]" "Ever get the feeling the gods are laughing at you?" "It's just a little water." "Now this, this is a disaster." "I was walking to work this morning and just as I stepped off the kerb this truck zips by through this puddle of water and splashes." "Just a little water." "[phone rings]" "Hey, could be worse." "You could be Superboy." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Shows up at this three alarm fire goes to put it out with his Super Breath and...blows the roof off the house, instead." "How is he supposed to know they're in the middle of putting a new roof on?" "He put out the fire, didn't he?" "And that kinda thing's been happening to him for weeks now." "If I believed in bad luck streaks.." "Well, there's only one kinda luck in this life the kind we make ourselves." "(Clark) Well, you really have to wonder sometimes." "I mean, look at this guy.." "...the thief they're calling, Mr. Lucky." "He strolls into a bank just as the alarm system fails and the security guard gets an attack of appendicitis." "Walks off with $10,000." "Well, things happen." "You can't assign cosmic significance to everything, can you?" "[Matt chuckling]" "[whistling]" "[burglar alarm ringing]" " Well, go after him!" " Me?" "That's what we pay for, isn't it?" " What's the trouble?" " We've been robbed." "He just walks in like he owns the place empties our registers and then strolls out again." "And he was no help at all." "M-my gun jammed a-and the sprinklers went off there was water everywhere." "I couldn't see" "He was driving, he was driving a white four door sedan." "A Falcon, I think." "Must be 1962, '63." "[thunder rumbling] [whooshing]" "Close your mouth." "[upbeat music]" "(female #1) Oh-h!" "I'm so sorry." "I was chasing someone in a car that.." "...it looked exactly like this one." "You know, we saw that car." "It was parked right near ours." "We almost got in it ourselves." "Astonishing, isn't it?" "That two cars like this, would be on the road at the same time." "I'm really sorry." "You're forgiven." "Thank you, sister." "[lightning crackling]" " Yeah!" " See that?" "I'm fine." "Just fine." "[thunder rumbling]" "(male #1) I'm telling ya." "I have got the power, right here in my hand." "Superboy gets in my way, anyone gets in my way.." "...they're history." "A threat, Mr. Carmichael?" "[ominous music]" "What if it is?" "Guys like you have been threatening me my whole life." "Well, no more." "You say you have the power to...stop Superboy?" "Stop him?" "Ha!" "I cursed him." "Don't you read the papers?" "He's on the way down." "And me..." "I'm on the way to the top." "And if we throw in with you, we'll have the advantage of this eh...protection?" "Hey, I want the best working' for me." "You arrogant little worm." "You're lucky, Mr. Bennett's breathing the same air as you." "(Bennett) Andrew, please." "Bit of a hot head, huh?" "[water gushing]" "So, what do you say, Mr. B?" "I have three things to say, Mr. Carmichael." "One...if your story is true and your phenomenal rise these past weeks certainly allows at least the possibility, that it is, then it would be to my advantage to give you a chance to prove yourself." " Prove?" " I am not finished." "Two, I've known men like you, before." "They have a lucky streak, they think they own the whole world." "Then they find out that luck alone is just not enough when they fall." " Hey, now just a minute." " I'm not finished." "Three...if that curse you put on Superboy was real then there exists the equally real possibility that there is a way to counteract it." "Hey, this is, this is Charlie Carmichael you talkin' to, and I got all that counteract stuff covered." "Let's hope so.." "...because then we just might be able to do business." "[chuckling] [intense music]" "[laughing]" "What are you doing?" "(male #1) Watch it!" "I'm paintin'." "(Clark) Just window shopping." " Good luck crystals?" " For Superboy." "[laughing]" "As if he needs your help." "[female screaming] [dramatic music]" "Lana, I think I left my wallet in the car." "[music continues]" "(male #1) Oops, I told you to look out." "[tires screeching] [crashing]" "Are you outta your mind?" "That's what I was gonna ask you." "You idiot, we're makin' a movie." "(male #1) Everybody, back to one." "We'll do it again." "The dumpster, it's rigged to blow." "[intense music]" "[intense music]" "Mr. Corrigan?" "Hello?" "Mr. Corrigan?" "Hi, I'm Lana Lang from the Bureau Of Extra-Normal Matters." "You called about a coin that had a curse on it." "Yes." "Something's come up." "I can't talk now." "It will only take a few minutes." "I am afraid not." "Can you tell me anything about it?" "Er, well, legend says that-that whoever possesses the coin can bring catastrophic bad luck to his enemies and consequently, good luck to himself." "Well, it's been nice talking to you, Miss." "Lang." "I think she's some kinda cop." "Relax, he's getting rid of her." "I'm not gonna relax until I get that counteracting thing outta him." "When you called the Bureau, you sounded very anxious to talk to someone." "Bureau, I knew it." "She's FBI." "Hold it, right there!" "(Lana) What is this?" "Carmichael, we don't have time for this now." "We got a job to do." "Come on, come on, come on." "I've got friends waiting, they'll know something's wrong." "Doesn't matter, as long as I have this." "[dramatic music] [phone rings]" "Lana?" "No, he's gone for the day." "Right." "[alarm ringing]" "[exploding]" "[intense music]" "Nice job." "[music continues] [chuckling]" "Look at this thing!" "The Shining Buddha, worth a 100 million easy." "Alright, come on, Carmichael." "We've got it, now let's move." "Hey, what's your hurry, huh?" "You working with Mr. Lucky here." "Nothing's gonna go wrong." "You tripped the silent alarm." "I have very good hearing." " I remember you." " So you do?" "I'm the guy that put the whammy on ya." "Me and my cursed coin." "I don't believe in curses." "I think you better." "[thrilling music]" "(Carmichael) Good idea." "Think of all the damage if a skyscraper like this, collapsed." "Hey, we're in a hurry, remember?" "Good work." "Keep it up." "[building crumbling]" "Alright, no one move!" "Just remain calm." "Oh, it's you, again." "Call the police." "Is this a coincidence or what?" "I got fired from that job at the store after that mess with the robbery and everything." "Call the police!" "I didn't mind that much." "I got to meet you and everything." "[impatiently] Go!" "Stay right there." "I will." "Kind of old, huh?" "Well, let's see if it still works." "[machine whirring]" "[dramatic music]" "Now, tell me about that counteractor thing." "I-I don't know how to counteract it." "I swear." "Well, then I guess the secret dies with you." "Hey, wait." "Look, there's lots of ways to handle this." "You're telling me Bennett never takes out his enemies?" "Only if there's no other choice." "Well, I'm not Bennett." "I'm Charlie Carmichael." "And I'll kill whoever I want, whenever I want." "Now, back off before something bad happens to you." "You're on your own." "Fine." "Fine." "That's just the way I like it." "[intense music]" " Where did they go?" " Where did who go?" "Look, I'm not really in a very good mood tonight." "Warehouse, 26th street, 1954 East 26th street." "I wanna see how you botch this one." "Good luck." "(Carmichael) Nice and slow this time." "It'll give you plenty of time to think about that counteracting thing." "[machine whirring]" "Lana!" "Superboy." "What's wrong?" "Here, you drive." "I'll tell you what's wrong." "He knows he's cursed." "This thing is about to fall apart, as it is." "You go blundering in it's all gonna come crashing down on them." "Superboy!" " What if he's right?" " You know I'm right." "Remember, you're cursed." "(Lana) No, you're not." "On the way over, Mr. Gorgon told me about the incantation." "I know how to stop the curse." "[reciting incantation]" "Shut up!" "[reciting incantation]" " No, it's too late!" " No, you can do it." "[reciting incantation]" "[metallic creaking]" "[dramatic music]" "It's all her fault." "If it wasn't for that incananatation." "(Lana) What incantation?" "Oh, few words I remembered from high school Latin." "It worked, didn't it?" "I got you to believe in yourself again." "It certainly did." "And she's crazy." "I'm Charlie Carmichael." "And I cursed you once and I'll curse you again." "Oh, where is it?" "Hey, the coin!" "It's the only reason you nailed me." "Just wait." "I'll get it back." "And when I do.." "Hm." "Must be my lucky day." "[theme music]" "[music continues]" "[music continues]" "[music ends]"
