"(male #1) 'Superboy, did you hear me?" "'" "I'm sorry." "We know you couldn't possibly have done what you are accused of." "But we need to ask you a few questions." "Of course." "According to Adam Verrell's statement you were highly agitated when you arrived at the ceremony." "You went back.." "...to see a Miss Lana Lang." "When he came to check on you.." "...he found you holding her dead body." "He's saying I killed her." "How can you believe a man like him?" "What motive do I have?" "He suggested jealousy over some pending marriage to Miss Lang." "Jealous?" "Of him?" "He's involved in this." "I just don't know how yet." "Mr. Verrell's a prominent citizen of Capitol City." "We can't just disregard his statement." "But this can't simply be his word against mine." "You must have evidence." "We do." "The coroner's report confirms Mr. Verrell's statement." "'"Her lungs were completely collapsed'" ""as if the air had been virtually sucked out of them by something superhuman."" "Which poses a problem for us." "There are those who'll demand justice." " 'A trial.'" " Of course." "I expect to be treated like any other citizen." "We're all quite relieved that you're cooperating, Superboy." "We know how easy it would be for you to.." "Everything will be fine in no time." "No." "I don't think so." "(Adam on TV) 'Remember, things are never" "Crime is bad.." "...and jobs are good." "Change your lives now while there's still time." "Ask for forgiveness, it will be given." "It's all here in this little brochure that I have prepared." "How about this watch you're wearing?" "If I was to ask for it, would it be given?" "Or do I have to take it?" "Can we go home now?" "So, Tommy." "You still think they're gonna embrace you with open arms?" "You murdered Lana, didn't you?" "You killed her and you framed Superboy for it." "Everything I've done, I've done for you." "Stay away from me." "Uh, not so fast, Tommy." "We have a deal." "No, not anymore, we don't." "And I'm gonna tell everyone what's going on." "Do you think they're gonna believe you?" " Your word above mine?" " I'll go to the police." "Yes, of course, you'll go to the police you'll tell them that you've driven the city crazy with this machine of yours." "That you're very sorry and it'll never happen again." " Is that what you'll do?" " Doesn't matter." "I won't help you anymore." "It's over, Verrell." "No, my friend, it's not over, it's the beginning." "She's alive?" "Hello, Tommy." "See I told you I was keeping her for you." "How did you do it?" "Well, I gave her this drug that stopped her heart and breathing long enough for me to get her out of the building." "What's the matter?" "Didn't you watch Mission Impossible?" "That and the coroner is my new friend." "He's an expensive new friend, but.." "...he's very worth it." "However.." "It is rather ironic, isn't it?" "That the person that would fell the mighty Superboy is the one person that loved him the most." "Turning into a good Jackie Collins novel don't you think?" "I won't be a part of this." "Well, then I'll have to fry your friend.." "...with a million volts." "Choice is yours." "Don't." "Attaboy!" "[man humming] [chuckling]" "[screaming]" "Officer."

"Has fallen, that great city."" "It's working, Tommy." "My dream is finally coming true." "The slime of this city is being pointed out for the hypocrites that they really are right on the centennial, it's perfect." "You're very enthusiastic about your work, aren't you?" "I bet you have your share of women friends." "Being so strong and.." "...rich and all." "I don't suppose with all those women that you'd have time for one more." "Well, you do have the most alluring lips." "I do." "It'll be a shame to have to staple them shut." "[hissing]" "Nice try." "What are we going to do?" "I guess our only hope now is Superboy." "[indistinct chattering]" "Look, Lana, I-I know what you must think of me." "Oh, I don't think so." "I've done some.." "...horrible things but, but I'm sorry for them." " I'm not like that anymore." " You think that's enough?" "You just say you're sorry and it's all better." "Suddenly you're a different person?" "It doesn't look that way." "Excuse me." "But I am different now." "I mean, I am." "Prove it." "Get us the hell out of here." "I mean, there's gotta be someway to stop him." "How is he doing it?" "What is making everyone go so crazy?" "[door opens]" "Working like a charm, Tommy." "The ladies gardening club has taken over the city parks and they're taking potshots at people walking through their begonias." "I've never had so much fun." "But you know, I would like you to increase the output." " Could you do that for me?" " What are you talking about?" "With much more, people will start killing each other." "Well, then that's bad." " Don't make me do that." " Don't make you do that." "Well, I'm gonna have to make you do that, Tommy." "You're a bad man." "[chuckling]" "Would you like one of these babies, huh?" "How about you?" "Hm?" "Now, you didn't say please." "Dr. Connelly." "Superboy, you're still here?" "I thought you'd have busted out hours ago." " What's going on?" " I think it's the food." "This stuff they serve in this place it's enough to drive anybody nuts." "Why don't you go get the warden?" "Oh, no." "The warden?" "He was the first to go." "And don't you start treating me like your little messenger boy." " Oh, you owe me." " How's that?" "If it wasn't for me little Tommy Puck wouldn't be on death's door right now." "I thought about giving him the real antidote instead of the placebo." "But I just couldn't pass up the chance to experiment on him." "Ironic, you know." " There's really a cure?" " Of course." "But I prefer it this way." "The, the electric chair is so impersonal." " Don't you think?" " You've got to give him a cure." "What?" "You would save the life of your sworn enemy merely because he's a person?" "That's right." "Superboy?" "Ha ha ha, super wimp." "Super wimp." "[dramatic music]" "Hey, where are you going?" "To save a man's life." "While you're out, could you get me a six-pack?" "Uh, this doesn't fit." "I need a small Phillips head." "Hm." "It's getting a little hot in here." "Well, you are among friends." "Why don't you take a few layers off?" "I was thinking maybe we go some place cooler?" "I tried that already, remember?" "Do I sense a change of heart?" "Look, I'm sorry about what I said the other day." "I know what you want." "You should have just told me upfront." "Ah!" "Ah, ah!" "(Adam) 'Get up.'" "Tommy, you're gonna regret this." "Now, go finish that!" "[screaming]" "Excuse me." " Matt." " Oh, hi, Clark." "What's up?" " Are you okay?" " 'Oh, here you are.'" "The two biggest kiss-ups in the place." "Yes, Mr. Jackson, what can I do for you, Dennis?" "Oh, just once, just once" "Never better." "Why?" "[screaming]" "(Ernie) 'Clark, is that you?" "'" "Ernie?" " Clark, where have you been?" " I've been away for a while." "What on earth's happened?" "It looks like everybody in town has lost its inhibitions." "It's almost like they're drunk." " Except you, of course." " And you." "Well, I miss out on a lot." "A smile is free, give one away today." "Just like those TV screens." "I don't miss TV much." "Never anything on anyway." "Clark, what happened?" "That was it, Ernie." "It was the TV screens." "That's what caused it." "They were transmitting a subliminal message that created mental stress." "Who did?" "Adam Verrell." "Clark?" "Remember, things are never as bad as they seem-- [explosion]" "Life is good, you are good, we all are good." "(automated message) Danger, danger, danger, danger." "What's that?"

" Be really careful with this." " Of course." "Let's give it a test run, shall we?" "You're right." "It is done." "Now it's your turn, you simp." "[rumbling]" "Superboy, get out of here." "He'll kill you." "The heck with that!" "He'll kill us." "He's got us wired." "With a zillion volts." "Apparently, you've been missing out on all the fun at Capitol City." " But not for long." " No!" "What are you doing?" "If I'm dying then" "I want to be remembered for this last selfless act." "You're not dying, there's a cure." "There is?" "So much for selfless acts." "Well, now let's see what a superhero without his inhibitions looks like." "[dramatic music]" " He's going to kill us." " Superboy." "Do it." "Kill them!" "Fooled you." "You shouldn't have messed with me." "[grunting]" "[Adam screaming]" "Nobody calls me a simp." "Hello." "Hello." "Somebody want to get us out of here?"
