"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 playing]" "I need some help." "I'm looking for someone." "You need some help." "Sure, why don't you step into my office?" "It's right over there." "I don't see any..." "Where do you keep the money?" "Or am I gonna have to look for it myself?" "How dare you speak to me that way?" "This is how I dare." "What's that?" "Some sort of threat?" "No, it's not a threat." " No threat at all!" " [slashing]" "Whoa!" "Now you ought to leave me alone." "But it's too late." "You don't know who you're dealing with." "Lady, please." "[screams] [laughs] You know something?" "You haven't answered my question yet." " Lady!" " Listen to me." "Where is Superboy?" " Superboy?" " I want him now!" "[screams]" "[laughs]" "I see." "Tossed the guy 30 feet, huh?" "Yeah, I would say that's extra-normal." "You called the right place, Mister..." "Is that S-l-a-s-h?" "Yeah, thank you." "We'll get right on it." "[laughs]" "Amazons from hell." "Sounds like a Russ Meyer movie." "Who?" "Never mind." "That was just some kid telling me he saw a beautiful blonde down on Denker St. who tossed a guy 30 feet, then dropped him off a fire escape." "I've had dates where I wanted to do that." "Wait till I tell Clark." "He won't believe it." "This woman said she was looking for someone." "Who, the guy who sold her the steroids?" "No." "Superboy." "Superboy?" "What for?" "How should I know?" "You don't think that kid really saw something, do you?" "No, just curious." "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." " Can I help you?" " Superboy." "How can I find him?" "You don't find him." "He finds you." " Do you have a problem?" " No, not me." "Well, now you do." "I want Superboy!" "Where is Superboy?" "Accidents, crimes." "That's where he shows up." "Nice neighborhood." "No one twisted your arm." "No, but I was curious." "Why did you come?" "I was worried about Superboy." "Worried?" "What's there to worry about?" "Clark, it's a natural thing to do when you have a relationship." "Someday you'll understand." "[kisses]" "Excuse me, sir, we're trying to find someone that called us this morning." "Said his last name was..." "excuse me." "Are you all right?" "[tires screech]" " [crashing] - [siren wailing]" "[man] Stay back." "[man] Oh, my God!" "[laughs]" "What are you doing?" "I'm gonna get through that line." "That's just a bureau badge." "It's not a press pass." "So who's got time to read?" "Are you coming?" "[laughing]" "I want Superboy!" "You want me?" "Here I am." "Who are you?" "I am Neila." "Is that supposed to mean something to me?" "It will." "I'm trying to see if you're worthy." "Worthy?" "Worthy of what?" "Of marrying me." "If this is a joke, it isn't funny." "You could have killed someone." "I don't care about them and it's no joke." "I'm a warrior, an aristocrat of my planet." "And it's time for me to marry." "Then why did you come here?" "We're dying." "Without wars to fight, our warriors grow old and die before our time." "There are no men left?" "There's lots of men, but they're vendors, artisans." "They don't possess the powers that I have." "They're beneath me." "I've come a long way for you." "Do they know me where you come from?" "Could I be one of you?" "I'd know if you were." "But we are very much alike in another way." "We're both superhumans amongst lesser beings." "We have strength." "We have powers they couldn't even imagine." "Maybe, but I'm happy here." "Happy?" "Look at them." "Like little insects." "What do their lives mean?" "70 or 80 years of laboring, of eating and sleeping misery and maybe a little happiness and then it just ends for no reason?" "They know that, but they go on." " And I learned from them." " You have learned from them." "Things like consideration, kindness, humility." "Go back home and live among the ones on your own planet." "Maybe then you'll learn what the human part of superhuman means." " Are you all right?" " Uh-huh." "I better get you someplace safe." "You care so much about them." "See how fragile they are." "This time I'm gonna make sure you never come back." "No need." "What does she want?" "The same thing everybody else wants." "Thank you." "You're gonna take all day." "[Neila] I have one more thing to do." "What happened to you?" "You like it?" "You look a little ordinary." "Ordinary is apparently what he likes." "What who likes?" "I don't think you need to know that." "No, lady, that goes around your neck." "Hey, yo, whoa." "Wait a minute." "You owe me some money." "Maybe we could make a deal." "Maybe." "Maybe not." "Clark." ""And then Superboy forced the hideous creature to dematerialize in a penetrating beam of light."" "What do you think?" "You do have a flair." "But Superboy didn't have much to do with it." "And she wasn't hideous." "Men." "All a woman has to do is show some skin and they think she's beautiful." "Come on, Lana." "What?" "OK, fine." "She was beautiful." "What's gonna happen next time?" "Next time?" "Clark, she had superpowers just like him." "How am I supposed to compete with someone like that?" "I mean, this woman could fly and lift cars." "And I can't even cook." "[telephone rings]" "Hello, Bureau." "Are you sure?" "Do you know where she is now?" "I'll be right there." "Clark." "Um..." "it was an old flame." "I'm sorry." "Washington was exciting, but all anyone ever talked about there was politics." "Got so boring after a while." "Especially if you want a social life." "That's why I am so excited about being transferred here." "Well, if you think this place is gonna improve your social life, you're gonna be really disappointed, believe me." "I know." "I'm sure you do all right." "Maybe I will, too, if I find the right person." "Let's go." "I'm starving." "[chattering over police radio]" "Hey, stay back." " Officer, what happened?" " Owner got beat up." "A robbery?" "That would have been a lot easier to explain to his wife." "He says a woman beat him up." "Hey, excuse me, the woman who did this, was she a blonde in a strange outfit?" "Yeah, but she's a brunette now." "Brunette?" "Got rid of all that makeup, too." "She took a fox stole from me." "It must be worth at least a couple of hundred dollars." "[coughing]" "Hey, leave the guy alone." "Come on." "Just another routine day at the Bureau for Extra-Normal Matters." "Nine-hundred-fifty-four of 'em left before I can retire." "Nine-hundred-fifty-three." "Superboy!" "The woman in the stole." "Where is she?" " She left." " Is Lana here?" "Gone to dinner." "Lana and the new girl, they went out together." "Did they say where they were going?" "They could be anywhere in the city." "This was a great idea coming up here." "The view's incredible." "You're not afraid of heights, are you?" "No, not me." "Twenty-five nightclubs, a dozen gyms." "You'll find someone." "I wish I could be so sure." "But it's hard to find the right guy, isn't it?" "I demand..." "I expect a lot." "Maybe too much." "Why should I settle for someone who has any less to offer than I do?" "You don't, but sometimes you have to compromise." "Do you?" "Well, no." "The guy I'm interested in is... pretty special." "I'm sure he is." "What do you think he's looking for?" "I don't know." "Probably the same thing as everyone." "Caring, putting the other person ahead of yourself and willing to make a sacrifice for them." "Sacrifice?" "You know what I mean." "I think it's something else." "It's your helplessness." "I'm not helpless." "You're helpless compared to Superboy." "Someone with his powers could snap you in two if you got in their way." "You're her." "[customers clamoring] [choking]" "You still defending these insects?" "And I see you still can't take no for an answer." "It's your destiny to be with me." "It's my destiny to be here." "They matter to you that much?" "Well, then hundreds will die, maybe thousands, unless you come with me." "[blows] [laughs]" "Homes, schools, churches, anything I want." "There's no way you can save them all." "Come with me and you will have a wife that is worthy of you." "Come with me and I will let them all live." "You have to." "Innocent people will die." "Wait!" "I'll make it easy." "Nooooo!" "She was willing to die?" "To save others!" "That's what we insects do." "What's it gonna be?" "[screams]" "Maybe they do have something to teach us." "If you're willing to learn." "[music playing]"
