"Cancel the life insurance folks cause in six hours you're all gonna be dead." "That's right six." "Count 'em six hours." "You see your Uncle Lex just put the finishing touches on a nationwide network of nuclear devices as they say in the bomb biz." "So big, so powerful makes the pentagon warhead look like a cherry bomb." "And guess what folks." "I'm gonna set the first one off right here in Capital City!" "Bing, bang, boom in the blink of an eye, you're all going to be nuclear waste." "[whistle blowing]" "But not just you, friends and neighbors." "No, no, no." "This is what you call you're dirty bomb." "That means the radioactive fallout from this rock 'n' roll party is gonna create a gigantic cloud of death that will drift round the globe." "And exterminate all life on planet earth." "Get the picture?" "Enjoy your final hours." "I know I will." "[honking]" "(female #1) Lex." "You forgot to tell them what you want." "What?"

"This is the last day of the rest of your life." "[laughing]" "[intense music]" "[rumbling]" "[rumbling]" "[music intensifies]" "So are you gonna help me down or what?" "Thanks." "Any sign of Luthor?" "Looks like Luthor hasn't been here for months." "You shouldn't have followed me here." "Look, if the world's gonna end in a few hours" "I wanna be with you when we go." "The world isn't going to end." "It's like doomsday out there already." "Street's are clogged with cars people are crawling all over each other just to get out before the bomb hits." " If Luthor does as he says.." " Look, I know Luthor is sick." "But I don't think he is capable of doing something like this." "Can we have really know what another person is capable of?" "Look." "The life and times of Lex Luthor." "It's a computer disc." "Well, let's see." ""21-J-L-L."" "Got it." "Project Genesis progress report." "Phase one complete." "All of Luthor's memories have been transferred to psycho disc." "Phase two after numerous attempts remains a failure." "The project however will continue until" "This disc contains Luthor's memories." "And that must be the playback device." "What are you doing?" "Remember what you said?" "That none of us can never know exactly what another person is truly capable off." "This could tell us." "It could be a trap." "Knowing Luthor, probably it is a trap." "It'll be alright." "Worked like a charm." "He followed the radio waves" "I deflected right to my other lab." "Precious time lost, Superboy." "You're never gonna find me now." " Lex, you're not really gonna" " Bingo."

"[intense music]" "You're late genius." "What's the matter?" "They're keeping you after school so they can give you more tests?" "Tests?" "They're not giving him any more tests." "Isn't that right?" "They say you're just a normal kid." "Like everyone else." "Still in grammar school and already you think you're better than everybody." "Well, you're not." " You're just a dummy." " Don't say that." "Lex'll go to college." "He'll make a" "Shut up!" "You think some magic pills will make everything better?" " Huh?" " No." "You think he's your ticket outta here?" "Just 'cause those big shots say you're so smart don't make you better than your ol' man." "Hear me?" "Lex never said he was better" " I'm not talking to you, Lena." " Leave her alone!" "You want her beating?" "Fine." "[music intensifies]" "[laughing] [beeping]" "Just three and a half hours to bing, bang, boom boys and babes." "So you better say your prayers cause time's are wasting'." "Come on, Lex." "Level with me." "When are you gonna ask 'em for the money?" "Money?" "Is that all you can think about when, what is money?" "Some kinda of magic pill that cures everything?" "Well, then what is it?" "Superboy?" "You want 'em to give you Superboy." "I've already got Superboy." "If something goes wrong, is there a way to get him back?" "Access denied." "We'll just see about that." "Let them think I'm stupid." "That's just the way I want it." "Remember that time I figured out pie to the last digit?" "No one else in the world could do it, but I did it." "Then I erased it before those big shot experts could see it." "I don't have to prove anything to them." "But one day.." "One day, you'll invent all kinds of wonderful things." "And you'll make a million dollars." "Isn't that what you always told me?" "That we'll have lots of money, and then it'll be alright." "And then we'll be happy." "And then we'll be together." "Just the two of us." "Nobody else." "And we'll be happy."

"[buzzing]" "Lena." "Lena." "Your injuries are minor." "The electronic field is for protection not harm." "How do I turn off that machine?" "Access denied." "Why the hell did Luthor create this thing anyway?" "The psycho disk was created to transfer" "Luthor's consciousness to an android host." "So, that's phase two?" "But he's not an android." "Then, there will be no transfer of consciousness." "However if disconnect is not achieved in ten minutes the subject will have absorbed all the information on the disk." "Which means?" "He will be trapped, forever." "In a loop of Luthor's memories." "How do I turn it off?" "Come on!" "How do I break the link?" "Access denied." "Warning, you are at risk." "There is no guarantee that you will re-emerge from Luthor's memories." "Shut up." "[laughing]" "You're not gonna do this." "Say you're not gonna do this." "Okay." "You're not gonna do this." "What's the matter with you?" "I've never seen you like this before." "Oh, Darla, Darla, Darla." "You've never seen me, period." "You don't know me." " You never have." " What're you talking about?" "Of course, I know you." "I'm your girl." "You're a joke." "You're just a reminder of all the walking mannequins" "I've had to put up with my entire life." "Don't say that." "I know that you love me." "I know that you're just making all this up." "There's only one person on the face of the planet" "I've ever loved." "She died last week." "[dramatic music]" "Lena." "Why didn't you do something?" "Why don't you do something?" "You stupid cow!" "I've had enough of this." "I've had enough!" "Superboy." "Lex?" "Are you okay?" "[laughing]" "Working on another one of your experiments?" "It's nothing important." "Do me a favor." "Don't stay home tonight." " What?" " Stay at Susan's, go anywhere." "But promise me, you won't stay home tonight." " But daddy won't let me." " Don't worry about daddy." " But" " Don't worry about daddy." "Okay." "Still stuck in there as planned." "You pathetic moron." "You know, the real beauty of this is even Superboy ain't gonna survive my little holocaust." "It's poetic." "When he dies, his final thoughts will quite literally be of me." "Oh, my, my, my." "Look at the time." "Better arm the warhead." "Lex, you're really gonna do this?" "Haven't you been paying attention?" " Yeah, but all those people." " Are morons, idiots, creeps." "They deserve to die." "Um, after the bomb, you and me" "we'll be the only ones left?" "My darling, this is ground zero." "We'll be the first to go." "Incinerated in a wink of an eye." "Fini, kaput, bye bye, all gone." "Well, you'll be gone." "I...will live on." "After a fashion." "My exact duplicate." "My crowning achievement." "He can do what even Superboy can't." "Survive." "All my memories, all my thoughts all my feelings, all that I am will live on in him." "(Darla) Can you do that for me?" "I could, but I won't." "My partnership in eternity is reserved for.." "...my little Lena." "She's not exactly your type." "She's my sister, you cow!" "She's programmed with everything I remember of Lena." "Everything we shared." "She's so...angelic." "We'll live happily ever after." "Together, just the two of us." "For all of eternity." "You better let us go or I'm gonna, I'll kick your butt, boy." " Oh, no." "You won't." " Yes, I will." "Not ever again." "We'll see about that." "Lena is the only decent thing I've got." "And it's about time I gave her a good life." "Free from you two." "See, once I flip this little switch it engages the timer." "And three minutes later, bing, bang, boom." "The whole house goes out." "I really should thank you for the money." "What money?" "From the life insurance policy I took out on you two." "It's really gonna be terrific for the two us." "I mean, it should get us out of this rat hole of a neighborhood." "And set me safely on the road to power." "How could you do this?" "After everything I've done for you." "Everything I've given you." "C'est la vie." "That's French." "In case you didn't know." " Son." " I'm no son of yours." "Superboy, don't do it." "You're not a killer." "You're not Lex." "(Holographic Lex) Warning, one minute to complete psycho meld." "Memory loop closing rapidly."
