Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - Season 3 Edit

A couple of sighing, slack jawed, self pitying wallowers.

A former governor, a vice president, a general.

A little louder, I don't think they heard you in Gotham City.

A new heart, a new man. That's my motto these days.

A nuclear reactor was melting down in Philadelphia. What's your point?

About the story.

Actually, the first two times.

All I'm saying is it's too much too fast.

All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

Almost 30 years.

And every Cost Mart is going to have a display of the world's great art...

And everyone is going to love the new you as much as I do, hunky.

And I ran things the way they should be?

And so anybody close to you became a target...

And so maybe it could be at a museum...

And that bomb in the museum.

And that makes me feel like I don't know you...

And the fall of lntergang. I' m not so sure about that one.

And then a little family reunion at your place.

And then maybe it could, I don't know, blow up, which would maybe

And then this morning, Clark and I both got one

And what about Superman?

And you're not alone anymore.

Anything?

Anyway, about your query.

Anyway, around springtime, I finally realized...

Anyway, I guess we should try and find the bomb...

Anyway, if you're not too busy...

Anyway, look, he just flew in, that's where he's staying. Good luck.

Are you all right?

As fast as you are, you 'll never make it.

As much as we do, Dad.

Authorities in Philadelphia don 't know how many workers are still trapped...

Bad boy.

Became a target.

Between the jet lag and the airplane food, I think I'm taking this pretty well.

Billy, don't talk about your mother like that.

Billy, I want you to meet your new stepmom.

Billy, I've got so much to tell you, I don't know where to start.

Billy, this is beautiful. It's gonna look wonderful in the museum.

Bobby, really?

Bomb? What's going on?

Both of you.

Boy, tomorrow's lead's gonna read, "Girl Scout Jamboree Big Success. "

Boys...

But

But I don't wanna fly off with you mad.

But I guess almost dying sort of heightened everything, all my senses.

But I really think it'd be best for everybody if maybe he...

But I wanna tell you, I've never seen things clearer.

But the Church Group doesn 't stop there.

But the sensors are locked onto me. I can't move.

But this thought's business.

But was it a lifetime kind of love?

But we are going with the Metropolis Bomb Squad.

But when I decided to become Superman, l

But you need to understand that Clark has always been alone.

But, of course, he couldn't. Not really.

Bye, pookie. Don't be long.

Bye.bye.

Can't No

Church's private storm troopers? Well, that's against the law.

Clark told you.

Clark, do you realize what just happened?

Clark, if you can hear me, say my name. Loud enough so I can hear you.

Clark, what is wrong? Why won't you talk to me?

Clark, what's wrong?

Clark, you understand?

Clark.

Come on in.

Come on, guys, let's go play at another field.

Come on, Lois, faster.

Come on, Lois, I know that look.

Come on, that's not a very sportsmanlike attitude.

Come on, you guys. I'm Superman.

Come on.

Come on. Give me a break

Come. There's something you've got to see. Come.

Cops will get that anonymous tip from you...

Dad?

Do a lot of jumping jacks, do you?

Do I want to detach the wires? If I'm right, say "Lois. "

Do you like to exercise?

Doing what, exactly?

Don 't even think about getting to the bomb before it goes off.

Don 't move, Lois, and don 't step off of the mat.

Don't I know it.

Don't you think a part of that change is communication...

Drop that knife

Enjoying the party? Pardon me.

Every other Sunday would be fine.

Every time I turned him down, he'd go out and plow another field of snow.

Everything?

Exactly.

Exactly. It's your not giving me any look look.

Excuse me, Dad. I wonder if you could spare five minutes.

Excuse me?

Fine. Thanks.

First, I needed to know that you would marry me.

For whatever it's worth, I x rayed underneath the store.

Four thousand men and women patrolling Metropolis...

Get ready for an exclusive.

Give me your wallets.

God, I turned Jonathan down four times before we finally made it down the aisle.

Good plan.

Got it.

Great art, great food, lots of money raised for the Church Group.

Great. Me too.

Greedy, opportunistic vermin preying on innocent people.

He keeps talking about his new mission, and the way he's spending money....

He said he wanted to fit in.

He wasn't much of a father.

He's an explosives expert out of Atlanta.

He's losing brain cells by the second.

Help me!

Here

Here.

Hey, come on, guys. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, what is it?

Hey, hold up, chief. Why does news always have to be bad?

Hey, if this town remains crime free...

Hey, you're quick.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hoarding, investing. It's ridiculous.

Honey bun, the man with the Rodin wanted to see you about the bill.

Housekeeping.

How are things in Metropolis? Still slow?

How did I figure it out?

I called Bobby Bigmouth but I haven't heard back.

I can't

I cannot change who I am and I can't change what I've done

I did get things out in the open, starting with "Will you marry me? "

I didn't really think it out.

I don't look at you like a cheerleader. Maybe you see me differently too.

I don't think so. You should turn around.

I don't understand all this business.

I found evidence of machinery being dismantled.

I got a tip the Church boys reached out to Joe Arlo.

I guess the first question is, how long have you known?

I guess we won't.

I hate wallowers, and that's what we've turned into:

I hope being married does change your life...

I just I need time to think.

I just think maybe you're taking my jeopardy a little for granted these days.

I know it's rude to stop by without calling first...

I know she was here a second ago and I know she wouldn't react

I know that name.

I know the Churches are up to something, I just can't get a fix on it.

I know this is a shock...

I lost something very personal.

I love it. The whole thing is just so Greek.

I mean, I can't yet.

I mean, that's not unreasonable.

I mean, what have I been doing with money all these years?

I miss all those guys in the black suits helping everybody.

I needed to know that, okay?

I should take a look around the city, just to make sure everything's all right.

I sulked, dove into my work.

I think I'm gonna cry.

I thought you had astigmatism.

I used to come up here a lot by myself and just drift.

I wanna pull the plug on this whole stinking operation...

I want to dismantle lntergang.

I want you to know I love you.

I wanted to keep an eye on that Church Group.

I was doing some research on them.

I was walking home and this guy jumped me and these two came out of nowhere.

I went into his toolbox and I found a diagram of the Museum of Art.

I wonder what they're gonna do, now they're all fired.

I would've thought it would have been "How did I figure it out? "

I' m not giving you any look.

I' m not mad at all.

I'll be right back.

I'll do anything you say, Billy.

I'll tell you what. We We're all going to the party.

I'll wait for you as long as you need.

I'm at a frequency only you can hear to let you know...

I'm glad you've come around, son.

I'm guessing I'll need a drink.

I'm hurt.

I'm just good old Lois, get to me whenever.

I'm not mad. Okay, I am.

I'm really, really hurt.

I'm really, really mad. Clark, I'm furious.

I'm sorry, I was talking to Lois Lane.

I've been feeling lately that this food obsession of mine...

I've been rehearsing this for months. Let's see if I can get it right.

I've earmarked $500 million to establish the Church Group.

I've never felt with more absolute fervor my true destiny.

If my mother saw this, she'd put a curse on you.

If she links him to that museum....

If the earth opened up at my feet, I wouldn't move until I'd said this:

If this keeps up, we're gonna have a one page city section.

If you check with the police, you'll find we're operating under their purview.

In a few minutes, this museum is going to be...

In fact, according to the computer register, he was never there.

Is ? Is he okay? Well, professionally speaking, of course.

Is Dad okay?

Isn't she wonderful?

It broke my heart, watching him having to hide so many things...

It broke my heart, watching him having to hide so many things...

It has to make you wonder:.

It just takes a second to realize how wrong you are...

It was easier talking to Clark.

It's all right, I just

It's been pretty slow around here, action wise.

It's being delivered to the store, so I thought we could bring it back.

It's just, when you get right down to it...

It's life altering. It's soul changing.

It's like...

It's logical. It's even thoughtful.

It's not the same new, sizzling romance.

It's so beautiful.

It's stopped.

It's the new glasses, isn't it?

It's the summit of all human desire...

It's understandable, I guess. It's just, I feel a lot clearer today and

Just found a job for Superman.

Just kidding.

Keep those knees up, girl.

Kent, you gotta figure out how you're gonna treat her...

Let him go.

Let's get this man into custody.

Lois, Clark. Wonderful to see you.

Lois, I can't move or I'll set off the bomb.

Lois, I've been thinking.

Lois.

Lois...

Look at this board that he's assembled.

Look at this. Completely legitimate, huh? Funded entirely by Church.

Look, I get it. I really do.

Look, I'm willing to admit this was a bad career move.

Look, last night we both got pretty emotional.

Look, Lois, there are certain things about me being Superman...

Look. Balloons.

Martha.

Maybe it'd help if I set up an interview with my old golfing buddy, Bill Church.

Me too.

Me too. Bill Church, Sr. This Saturday, at the museum.

Mindy? What is it?

Mindy. It was Mindy, that double crossing, two timing

Mr. Church wants Metropolis to be a better place to live...

Mr. Church, given the allegations that you're involved with lntergang

Next you're gonna be telling me you bought that lovey dovey spew.

No pain, no gain.

No such luck.

No, actually, I'm trying to talk myself out of eating your chair.

No, I do get it, Lois. It's fine.

No, I don't think you do.

No, I got things out in the open, starting with, "You are Superman. "

No, I think it'll be smoother if I'm partner free tonight.

No, it's all right. It's okay.

No, no. Wait. This is some kind of mistake.

No! Superman, they saved me.

No.

Not a very happy thing, but....

Not part of the stars, not part of the Earth...

Not Superman, not his powers. Just me, Clark.

Nothing, nothing.

Now Now, go find her.

Now I really I should, you know, check the city.

Now, these are what I call headlines.

Of course, he'd have to turn the business over to Us.

Of course, it's now becoming a well known fact...

Off he goes to a nice cozy jail.

Oh, Billy, I promise we'll visit your dad in prison every Sunday.

Oh, Billy.

Oh, boy. Things so bad between you two...

Oh, Clark, please. Will you stop playing around?

Oh, Clark, please. Will you stop playing around?

Oh, don't cry, Dad. I'll visit every other Sunday.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that part. That's good. That's really good.

Oh, I know.

Oh, if this keeps up, there won't be anything left for us.

Oh, let's not dwell on that.

Oh, look, hunky, she's blushing.

Oh, Lord, this is worse than I thought.

Oh, Lord, this is worse than I thought.

Oh, man, are you blind? That's the fifth lousy call today.

Oh, no.

Oh, not at all.

Oh, son.

Oh, we plan just a little better for him this time.

Oh, well, I'm just his wife.

Okay, I see. So it's okay for you to get mad...

Okay, Lois, okay.

Okay, Lois...

Okay, there's a red wire and a blue wire and a green wire.

Okay, what I'm looking at appears to be some sort of computer clock...

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Olsen! Where's your camera?

One thing I've found is that when you're married to someone you love...

Our first anniversary? When the kids started flying around the house?

Pickles and mustard? All you got is pickles and mustard?

Please, please tell me you're working on a story full of mayhem and scandal.

Please, somebody, help me!

Polls indicate citizens have never felt safer.

Preposterous.

Really? Like the urgent need to umpire a kids' baseball game for two hours?

Really.

Right, I get it.

Say, Dad, can I tempt you?

See if you and Clark can find a skunk in the rose garden, so to speak.

She can be very persuasive.

She's kind of tight with Superman. It makes it complicated.

Since yesterday.

Sir, come with us. The police will need your statement.

Situation green. Continue patrols.

So been pretty busy?

So get ready for some changes.

So how mad are you?

So I called you last night. A couple times.

So I called you last night. A couple times.

So that's what you've been doing when you pulled your glasses down.

So the only connection I can see is that Bill Church, Sr...

So we went back to the hotel, but Joe the Blow was gone.

So you're some sort of vigilante group?

So...

Sometimes...

Son, I know what you're thinking:

Son, I never told you this before...

Son, it's so good to see you. How was Tokyo?

Sort of like putting on a pair of glasses.

Speaking of Clark, you know, I haven't seen him around here too much lately.

Speaking of which, when were you planning on telling me? The honeymoon?

Super Superman.

Superman, help.

Superman, thanks for trying to help.

Superman, this is the prerecorded voice of your friendly neighborhood bomber.

Superman! Help!

Superman.

Sure.

Thank you. All clear.

Thanks.

That is so unfair.

That was a very tense situation...

That's better. Now, you know, Clark...

That's it. Go, girl.

That's kind of neck and neck with "How mad are you? "

That's not true, I didn't say that.

That's ridiculous.

The bargain of the century.

The bats and the balls are mine and I'm out of here.

The bomb is set to go off at 4:00.

The bomb is underneath the table.

The bomb squad boys are in the museum.

The bomb's all set?

The Church Group?

The rules are simple. Stop and die. Slow down and die.

The story.

Then tell him. And make him tell you.

There's something I'd like to show you.

They just don't work as well as the old ones did.

They love Metropolis and they never stop trying to take it over.

They're gonna be out of here in a few minutes.

They're making a clean sweep. They're dressed as guards.

They've taken it upon themselves to offer free auto assistance...

Think of what a great.Iooking corpse you 'll make.

This is a newspaper. It's either catastrophe or atrophy.

This is going to be the greatest party ever.

This is great.

This is so nice.

This was a lot better before we had some umpire that we never asked for.

Ticktock, ticktock, ticktock. Break a sweat yet, Lois?

Totally.

Unfortunately, it was winter...

Very good question. Here's my very good answer.

Wait a minute. You're married to my father.

Want some water?

We got a tip linking you to him.

We have a problem.

We were sent to investigate...

We're criminals.

We're members of the Church Group.

Well, a little something I bought. I'd like us to donate to the museum together.

Well, as crazy as he is, he can still read a paper.

Well, gotta give Church and his son some credit.

Well, he's not just gonna step down.

Well, I had a nice, long talk with the newest Mrs. Church.

Well, I know I'm kind of new at all this business talk...

Well, I'm the one who was lied to. Don't get petulant with me.

Well, if it's all right with the nurse.

Well, in about two minutes, it'll sure stand out.

Well, just food for thought.

Well, let me prove it to you.

Well, since you asked, what took you an hour?

Well, start now. Stay on the mat and keep the beat.

Well, that certainly gives you the advantage, Mindy.

Well, that little territory spat with the yakuza's all settled...

Well, that's part of what I wanna tell you.

Well, the nicest thing about jail...

Well, the thought had occurred to me. I....

Well, today I spent two hours polishing my boots, an hour ironing my S...

Well, what did you do?

Well...

Well....

What about?

What are you doing to your office?

What is there to talk about, Lois?

What kind of person lives like this?

What the sam hill's going on here?

What, so you wanna retire?

What?

What?

What?

What? What is this?

When he was 1 3 and just beginning to be really strong, really, really strong...

When you did this:

Which is gonna be worse than mad, isn't it?

Which was about two minutes after I met you.

Which would make the cops think Dad did it...

Who's asking? Clark...

Why don't you go ahead and I'll meet you in the car.

With all the good work being done by the Church Group...

With just a few hundred million, we can have all of this beauty.

Y eah, we're just both trying to get our facts straight...

Yeah, a mistake, right

Yeah, I was

Yeah, now all we need is a good explosives man.

Yeah, pretty busy.

Yeah, you both do. You're taking some big steps, it's bound to be scary.

You can get through everything else.

You can get through everything else.

You don't ask the price when the reward is joy.

You don't have any crackers? No nuts?

You expect me to frame my own father...

You first.

You found out something that you don't like.

You going out? You seem like a thing.

You have to remember, she has a lot to think about.

You know I can't fly.

You know I love him.

You know what? Can you go this alone a little bit longer? I hear a siren.

You know, I wanna go buy them all and give them to the children.

You know, time to think it over...

You look like you 're in pretty good shape.

You make the reservations, I'll pack.

You see, you gotta double your speed every 1 0 minutes...

You shell out some pretty good drugs in that hospital, don't you, Min?

You start to think that the people around you are too.

You wanna go back?

You wouldn't be using your other identity...

You' re out!

You're kidding.

You're the first woman I've ever been able to talk to about my boy.

You've touched me before.

Your dad keeps talking about having this fundraiser.

Your dad's told me so much about you.

Your mom was young, she was scared. She knew that she loved me.

tightened my glasses. Pretty exciting, huh?

And? I can't do it anymore.

Anything happen? No, it was pretty quiet.

Are you coming? No, I think I'll just:

As in Bill Church? As in lntergang?

Back to the lntergang allegations Hey, you guys a thing?

Be gentle. I'm in recovery.

Come on, you guys. Man.

Cookie? They're low fat. Thanks, no.

Don't try and score points. Sorry.

Fine. Fine.

Go ahead, Lois. Get it out, okay? Help!

Go. Help!

Guys. You stink.

Here. Thanks.

Hi, Clark. Hi, Marsh. Can I get a cap, please?

Hi. Hi.

His nickname Joe the Blow, used to work for the ClA.

How are you feeling? The doctors say I'm doing great.

Hunky! Mindy!

I am mad. I'm really mad. okay.

I asked you to marry me, you said no. I didn't say "never. "

I didn't hear you. Lois!

I guess. oh, honey, you sound so sad.

I have a kind of a thought. Yeah, me too.

I have an idea. Wait, Lois, don't Lois!

I think I should detach the red wire. Lane.

I've got a surprise for you. What kind of surprise?

l' m not mad. Excuse me?

lce? oh, come on. What am l, a beverage?

Let's save that one for last. okay.

lf I'm wrong, say "Lane. " Lois.

lf it wasn't for them, l Hello, Superman.

lf Lois Lane publishes what she knows No, she still doesn't know anything...

Lois, can I speak with you? Sure.

Look, I had something I wanted to say. Me too.

Must be costing you a fortune. one thing I've learned from my wife:

No, so you're not upset ? I asked, you answered.

oh, Clark. Lois, I'll wait for you.

Please! Go.

Really? Yes. I thought he was crazy.

Right, pookie? Right, hunky.

Right. Absolutely. oh, yeah. Y eah.

She needed Time.

Should I detach it from the clock? Lane.

Sick? How? Well, he's going crazy.

So Church could be telling the truth. Are you kidding?

So it's the green? Lois.

So it's the green? Lois.

So we don't have clue one. Well, we have clue half.

Step oh, hello, Billy.

Sure. That's an excellent suggestion.

Thanks. I'm not just doing this for you

That's kind of silly, now. Let's play ball. Let's go.

The blue? Lane.

The explosive? Lois.

The reporter ls on to Joe the Blow.

Then I was gonna tell you everything. Well, I guess we'll never know, will we?

There sure are a lot of those guys. Yeah.

This is not really a time to hold back. I'm not.

Unless... Yes?

We can order takeout. Wait a minute.

Well, l I think your father's very sick.

What happened, son, you lose her? No, chief.

What is it? What is what?

What? You know, I can understand.

Why can't we report the good things? Jimmy, you've been sniffing Linotype.

Yeah, I've seen the reports. He bought half a museum in London...

Yeah, it's got a nice, polite exterior. Let's see what's under the surface.

Yes? ...retired?

You cold? A little.

You did great. We did great.

You looking into things? Yeah.

You okay? Yeah. Little shaky.

You still are. That's just it. I don't know anymore.

You tell him. Come on. Boo, Superman.

You're serious? T otally.

..

... even going so far as to guarantee food freshness...

... he made the decision on his own never to tell anybody.

... I know we don't know each other real well...

... or how long their oxygen will last.

... or Mr. Bomb gets very upset.

... taxis for the elderly and the infirm...

... that our streets are dramatically safer from crime.

... that your singularly dense molecular structure has triggered my autosensors...

... what's left for Superman to do these days?

...about everything.

...afraid he was always gonna be alone.

...afraid he was always gonna be alone.

...and even ruder to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong, but l

...and experience the beauty of culture at the same time.

...and he's committed his fortune to that end.

...and how long I have wanted to tell you.

...and I wanna use our resources to make the world a better place.

...and I wanted to be the one to tell you...

...and if you move a millimeter:.

...and it just got more complicated when you realized you loved me.

...and it's wired to this real big canister of what I can only assume is

...and maybe the museum could be full of really important people and art.

...and that really hurts me, and you know what?

...and there's no reason why you should trust me....

...and we spent the whole time wallowing. We wallowed.

...and when you finally achieve it, it's as if mind and body finally merge...

...and you did that by lying.

...and you gotta be consistent.

...and you're set free.

...as the reactor is continuing to emit deadly radioactive gas.

...because he wanted to be surrounded by beauty.

...because the kids were yelling. They had bats and stuff

...but I shouldn't feel anything when you say ?

...but is it a big problem killing her?

...but your mother turned me down the first time I asked her to marry me.

...by causing some kind of big disaster someplace else.

...catch the bad guys, blah, blah, blah, and we can get out of here and talk.

...come get Dad at Cost Mart, and then

...except she's about to get an invitation to a party she won't be able to resist.

...for the murder of hundreds of innocent people?

...getting things in the open?

...how I've carried this secret by myself...

...how long have I known?

...I kind of took a private vow to steer clear of you two, but, well

...I'm looking at having to live on three meals an hour.

...Iet's feel the burn.

...Iike getting him out of town...

...in restaurants and grocery stores.

...is masking a deeper emotional trauma.

...it doesn't look very good for father and son...

...it's like nothing else in the world.

...just started buying Picassos like they were comic books.

...make you look at things in a new way.

...management of busy intersections, teaching kids about community service...

...married his pretty nurse, and now he's a few g****s shy of a bunch. "

...maybe we should try and find the guy who did this.

...not really knowing where I fit in, until I met you.

...or Superman?

...safety checks of homes, businesses, and all manner of public transportation...

...saved a runaway hamster from a cat..

...so I looked pretty silly plowing up all those fields in the snow.

...so people can shop for bargains...

...so that you could understand how hard this has been for me...

...so we can figure out what's going on, make some decisions.

...stores are going up, the foreign minister took the bribe.

...that getting married wasn't just about my feelings.

...that you're just gonna have to get used to.

...the world's most expensive pile of ashes.

...there's a new boss in town.

...there's plenty of time to ponder those life choices.

...to get to know him for who he really is.

...to increase the value of his own burgeoning collection?

...we both, like, all of a sudden, aren't even sure that we like each other.

...which means...

...will you marry me?

...with the singular purpose of making this the safest place on earth.

...you came up with some kind of really brilliant way of keeping him busy...

...you gotta resort to calling her Lane?

...you gotta resort to calling her Lane?

...you made me believe that you were two different people...

...you think you're immortal.

..is becoming ever more serious...

"Churches Arrested, Bomber Confesses. "

"The man's gone soft since the heart attack...
