Tim Daly: Superman, Clark Kent

Quotes 

• Toy Guards : Halt! Friend or foe?

  [Superman destroys the guards with his heat vision] 

  Superman : Foe.

• Superman : Kick. Left jab. Low kick. Left, right.

  The Toyman : What's he doing? He's trying to work out the ninja's moves. But the program is too complicated. He'll never figure it out.

• Clark Kent : This couldn't have been some random kidnapping. And she knows more about it than she told the police. I'm sure of it.

  Lana Lang : That's Darci. She takes reticence to a whole new plateau.

• Superman : [saving Lana from a fire]  I was trying to find Darci.

  Lana Lang : Lucky for me. She was here, all right. But now she's at the pier looking for Toyman.

  Superman : Toyman? Did he do this?

  Lana Lang : No. This was Darci. There's something about her you should know.

• Lana Lang : [after her fashion show is interrupted]  I had a feeling you'd show up.

  Superman : I was in the neighborhood.

• Clark Kent : [searching Darci's apartment]  No photos, no letters. Not a hint of her past. What's your story, Darci?

  [opening the refrigerator and seeing it's empty] 

  Clark Kent : I know these girls have to watch their figures, but not even a diet soda?

  Darci Mason : [entering]  Hungry?

  Clark Kent : Uh...

  Darci Mason : Didn't I see you at the fashion show? You some kind of stalker?

  Clark Kent : No. I'm a reporter.

  Darci Mason : [picking up the phone and dialing 911]  Even worse. At least stalkers are honest about what they do.

  Clark Kent : I'm also a friend of Lana's.

  [Darci hangs up] 

  Clark Kent : She and I want to help you.

  Darci Mason : I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. Believe me.

  Clark Kent : After what happened yesterday, I'm a little skeptical...

  Darci Mason : [hearing a distant booming getting closer]  What's that?

  Clark Kent : [a giant wind-up boxing kangaroo leaps onto her balcony]  Get back.

• Jimmy Olsen : [taking pictures at a fashion show]  I can't believe we're getting paid to do this.

  Clark Kent : Covering some fashion show? That's why I became a reporter, Jimmy.

  Jimmy Olsen : Come on, Clark. You can't tell me you're not excited about interviewing Darci Mason.

  Clark Kent : She's only a model. Besides, what's there to talk about? Eyeliner?

• Jimmy Olsen : Watch out, Clark. You're gonna burn a hole in those glasses.

  Clark Kent : What do you mean?

  Jimmy Olsen : Well, the way you're staring at her. Or is it just the suit?

  [a knight, a cowboy, and a spaceman show up and start wreaking havoc] 

  Jimmy Olsen : I've got a feeling this isn't part of the show.

  [Clark surreptitiously sneaks away] 

  Jimmy Olsen : This sure beats eyeliner, doesn't it, Clark?

  [seeing he's gone] 

  Jimmy Olsen : Clark?

• The Toyman : I know why you're here. You want Darci for yourself.

  Superman : That's not true, Schott.

  The Toyman : Well, I built her, and she's mine. But nothing's worth having unless you're willing to fight for it. So why don't we settle this the old-fashioned way? With a duel.

  Superman : [his path is blocked by a grid of laser beams]  I'm not playing your games, Winslow.

  The Toyman : I don't think you have a choice.

  [Superman is backed onto a life-size game board] 

  The Toyman : Allow me to introduce Death Fist Ninja, my latest game. You won't find this in the stores.
