• Tempus : Can we move this along? I'm breaking out this morning, you know.

  Barrett : Yes. You believe that a peacekeeper from the future will be arriving on this date to...

  Tempus : Extradite me back to the future to face crimes I've committed in various time zones.

  Barrett : So, I gather you still believe you're from the future?

  Tempus : Duh... .

  Barrett : And that you were first brought to this century by Science Fiction writer H.G. Wells in a time machine of his own invention.

  Tempus : A real brain twist, isn't it?

  Barrett : And using this time machine, you tried to kill the infant Superman.

  Tempus : In the early '60s, yes.

  Barrett : I see. And your assertion that Superman has a secret identity?

  Tempus : I stand by it.

  Barrett : And that secret identity is... ?

  Tempus : [laughing]  I'd tell you, but you'd think I was nuts.

  Barrett : Mr. Tempus, assuming this is all true, why would you admit it to me?

  Tempus : Because you are-- in a word-- Looney Tunes.

  Barrett : [gets up, moving to bars to look directly at Tempus]  'Looney Tunes' is two words.

  Tempus : Not if you say it fast.

• Barrett : He doesn't sleep-- he just sits there all night with his eyes open, watching me.

  Clark Kent : How long has be been doing that?

  Barrett : Ever since they made the switch.

  Clark Kent : The switch?

  Barrett : One's a fake-- I don't think he's even human.

  Lois Lane : How do you know?

  Barrett : Well, I saw the whole thing-- the window appeared right there, just like he said it would.

  Lois Lane : Who said it would?

  Barrett : Tempus, and that other guy-- that peacekeeper. He's the one that made the switch.

  Clark Kent : Someone came back for Tempus.

  Lois Lane : [finishing his thought]  ... and Tempus busted loose.

  Barrett : But no one believes me-- they think I'm nuts, but I'm not nuts...

  [rips his shirt open to reveal a white undershirt with a red 'S' written on it] 

  Barrett : I'm Superman!
