- Hello to you. - Hello to you.
I hope you're fine.
(female #1) Who knows the electron wave functions
for Kryptonian covalent bonding?
Sorry.
Leah.
The cube root of the wavelength...
- Greetings. - Greetings.
- Hello, Kara. - Hello to you.
[beeping]
(Kara) Oh, it is beautiful.
What's that gonna be, Zaltar?
I think... a tree.
A tree.
What is a tree?
A lovely thing which grows on Earth.
Earth? You mean where my cousin went?
Hmm, and to where, one day soon perhaps
I might venture as well.
I don't believe you. How?
- In that. Through there. - The binary chute?
But you'd never survive the pressure. It'll destroy...
In that I can. Zip-zap and I'm gone.
But you'd never leave us, Zaltar.
- You'd never leave Argo City. - Indeed, I might, Kara.
Too much of a good thing here.
Perhaps I'll try Saturn instead. Yes, I think I might.
Saturn is... is that further away than Earth?
Silly question.
Didn't you study six-dimensional geometry at school?
Do they not teach anything anymore?
Well, of course they do. I know the equations.
I just can't see them in my head.
Most great artists find mathematics troublesome, Kara.
- Only use your imagination. - Mm-hm.
Saturn and Earth are in outer space
but we, we are in inner space.
Our city has two great power sources.
This is one of them. Look.
[buzzing]
An omegahedron.
The Guardians let you have it?
Not exactly. I borrowed it.
You stole it. Oh, Zaltar, they're gonna...
No, borrowed it... for the afternoon.
- For inspiration. - Inspiration.
[beeping]
[Zapping]
But I think that I shall never see
the branches of a living tree.
Why? An omegahedron can create life, can't it?
It can't, child, it can't. Just the illusion of life.
That's a fancy shadow of the real thing
which is the most we can hope for on this lonely old rock.
(female #2) Kara.
Kara, I've been looking for you for ages.
Oh, I'm sorry, mother.
- Zaltar. - Alura, join us.
We're just inventing miracles.
[beeping]
Put your fingers here, Kara, and press hard.
[beeping]
Good. Now try it.
Let your imagination explode and give it a try. Go on.
Zaltar, my-my husband tells me you talk
of leaving Argo City. For where?
Parts unknown. It is, alas, a fact.
(Zaltar) You and Zor-El have a life here.
You've each other and Kara.
(Alura) But, Zaltar, you founded this city. It's yours.
As far as the eye can see, right to the veil, smack
and then what? What is beyond?
(Zaltar) Alura, I cannot contain myself to Argo City only.
My head is boiling with ideas.
My imagination is too vast, it's uncontrollable.
If you want my opinion, Zaltar, you're starting to repeat
yourself here with all this airy, glittery stuff.
Exactly. That's why I'm going to Venus.
Venus? When?
Tomorrow or the next day, at the latest.
(Alura) Zaltar, have you thought about this ?
It doesn't make sense to me.
(Zaltar) I have thought intensely. My mind is made up.
[buzzing]
[beeping]
[chittering]
[buzzing]
[wind howling]
Kara! The power source!
Oh, Zaltar! Save me. Please! Help!
- No! - Kara!
Zaltar! Help! No!
[Zapping]
You took the omegahedron.
That's not correct, I lost the omegahedron.
- No, father, I did... - Shh, Kara.
No matter who.
Without it this city can't survive more than a few days.
Our lights will grow dim and the very air we breathe so thin.
I know. So I shall find it.
I shall go right to the end of inner space and I'll return it.
Impossible. How? No one can leave Argo City and you know it.
This is our universe and you've destroyed it with a game.
- A childish game. - I think it can be done.
Through there, the binary chute, in the traveler.
Rot-E“ Like a coward you choose instant destruction
while the rest of us are doomed to stay here...
[intense music]
[whirring]
Kara!
Kara, no!
[whirring]
[swooshing]
- You lunatic! - She'll be killed.
Oh, no, she won't.
She will be safe, through the binary
through the warp, into another register.
Another what?
Gravitational radiation
a pathway from inner space to outer space.
Then she'll never be the same, ever.
At least she'll be alive.
And my fate is sealed.
I've lost the omegahedron
I must be sent to the Phantom Zone.
Your suffering will be short,
mine... forever.

[birds chirping]
(male #1) Some more champagne, my dear Selena?
What are you thinking about?
[sighs]
It's such a pretty world.
I can't wait until it's all mine.
The only way you can rule the world
is to become invisible, my pumpkin.
Invisible?
You'd almost know how to make me invisible.
Oh, I do know.
Take five black beans and the head of a dead man,
place one bean in his mouth, two beans in his eyes, then...
Nigel, enough.
But it works. Then you can get anywhere, do anything.
Nigel, how long have we been together?
Ooh. Months, darling.
Then why does it seem like years?
Because you're so impatient. You want everything yesterday.
It's a lifetime to discover the secrets
of black magic from the ancient grimoires.
[swooshing]
Holy cow.
[swooshing continues]
[buzzing]
I wonder.
[intense music]
Immortality be upon this one.
She is a sharer of the sun's everlasting life.
There will now be no danger of death.
This world will keep her forever.
What is it?
What's going on? Hey, what's going on?
I've just outgrown you, Nigel.
These things happen.
You can't treat me like this, Selena.
Without me you'd still be reading tea leaves
at Lake Tahoe.
[radio static]
(man on radio) Amsterdam and more. That's TWA. Never has flying been easier.
[music on radio]
You can't run out on me, Selena.
I've got the keys, sweetheart.
(man on radio) The president confirmed reports that Superman has embarked
on a special peace-seeking mission to a galaxy
scientists estimate may be
several hundred trillion light-years from our own...

(man on radio) Now, here's the weather from the general Chicago area
increasing cloudiness with the possibility of showers.
Breezy but warm with a high of 62.
[dog barking]
Bianca!
I'm home.
Bianca!
Wha-at?
Show your face.
I have a surprise for you.
(Bianca) They've turned off the hot water again.
I'm really gonna have to kill somebody down at the DWP.
The only way we're gonna pay our bills next month
in this dump, is to just go ahead and start our own coven.
No longer necessary.
I was reading in this book
"The Witches Guide to Heaven and Hell"
if you start your own coven all you've to do
is charge five bucks a head, minimal admission. That's great.
- Chicken feed. - That's better than goose egg.
What's in the Coffer of Shadow there? Where's little Nigel?
Nigel, my dear Bianca, is history.
Oh, yeah? How so?
The water department is history. The car payments are history.
The mortgage payments are history.
- How are the property taxes? - History.
The world is at last my oyster.

Now, this I like.
- Hello. - "Hello," she says.
- Well, hello to you, honeybun. - Hello.
I was wondering if you could tell me where I am?
What do they call this place, Eddie? Lovers' Lane, isn't it?
You got it in one, Billy boy. Lovers' Lane.
Oh, no, you see, what I meant was is
well, those lights over there. What are they called?
Check out the view from back here, Eduardo.
Ah!
Stop that.
You're, uh, Superman's best friend, huh?
No. His cousin. I've come here to search for the omegahedron.
It's a power source vital to Argo City. That's where I live.
No kidding.
Eddie and me here
we're on a secret mission also.
We're out looking for a good time.
And you just won the brass ring, baby.
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
[instrumental music]
Oh, she works out, huh?
Why are you doing this?
It's just the way we are.
[wind howling]
[crash]
You shouldn't have done that, baby.
[dramatic music]
Come on.
[Zapping]
[gasps]
Oh, I see.
You really wanna play games, eh, sweetheart?
Come on. Come...
Ow!
Huh?
Eddie, I think maybe we should
kinda keep this to ourselves. What do you think?
[upbeat music]
[indistinct chattering]
Freddie, you little devil. How are you?
Fresh ammunition, everybody.
[chattering continues]
[laughing] Try telling your wife. I need another.
Where is it? Where's the little mystery ball?
Let me have a peek. Maybe I can shed some light.
I hate light.
Is it electrical? Is it hot to the touch?
- Where is it? - Safe and sound.
Go mix. Leave me to my thoughts.
Go mix? With these people? You must be mad.
Who are they? Wrinkly little wretches.
These are my foot soldiers, Nigel.
My army of the night.
I'm considering nothing less than world... domination.
After you left me in the lurch
I saw something that should worry you greatly
if you're serious about taking over this planet.
My secret was blue and red and it knew how to fly.
I've a secret too, Nigel.
I have the power.
Get that through your head.
Oh, I bet they're in for it now, eh?
Count on it.
[sizzling]
I have in my time seen a great number of things
even more impressive
than a human cigarette lighter, dear lady.
To wit.
[intense music]
What is that?
Overreaching ambition.
Take heed.
[glass shatters]
Touched a little nerve, didn't I?
Hello.
The red toad that lurks in the briars
and brambles is full of sorceries.
There's a little bone on the left side.
A little bone?
A little bone, which if bound to a man stirs up
the greatest lust.
- I wanna be rich and famous. - Then stick with me.
I was put on this earth to thrill millions.
Mmm, this is scrumptious.
(Nigel) Why don't we go somewhere else and dance cheek to cheek?
[intense music]
[screaming]
Stop it, Selena! That's not fair.
Pick on me.
[music continues]
[thud]
- Thanks. - Hey, no sweat.
- What happened? - Oh, nothing much.
Get out of my house, Nigel
and don't come slithering back.
I'm warning you, Selena
don't be so shortsighted.
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
Good morning.
(female #3) Have you got it, Lucy? Must be near that oak tree.
- Hurry up. - Found it, guys.
(female #4) What are you doing? You're supposed to find the ball.
[indistinct chattering]
(female #4) Come on, don't take all day. You're holding up the game.
- Hey, it's your turn to bat. - Let's go. Let's go.
Okay. Okay. Let's play ball.
Alright, batter.
[crowd cheering]
I couldn't make it. I have to finish my...
[cheering continues]
(female #5) Hey, toss the ball back, will you?
[cheering continues]
(female #4) Come on, make it two in a row.
[crowd cheering]
Play ball.
[cheering continues]
[instrumental music]
- Where have you been? - With the principal.
Danvers is doing his usual number.
Jeez, another barfy new student.
They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.
Hang in there, Danvers.
Don't let them get to you.
Thirty days. Semester just started. You'll be...
- Hello, I... - Didn't knock.
Don't we teach you manners around here?
Don't we try to impress on our young ladies
that animals in the jungle never knock
but Midvale girls always do. Where you going? Come back here.
[knocking]
Come in.
I forgot, I'm just not used to...
Wait a minute.
Wait just one second.
I have never before in my life laid eyes on you
have I, young lady?
- No, sir, I'm new here. - New here?
Obviously you're new if I've never laid eyes on you before.
The question remains, just who on earth are you?
Umm...
[Kara clears throat]
On Earth, I'm Lee.
Linda Lee.
Where's your letter of recommendation?
Letter?
I must talk to you, principal.
- I am busy now. - So are they, them.
All the little monsters you admit to the place.
They have nailed my desk drawers shut.
Never in all my years as a school teacher...
Come, Danvers.
I will not be provoked.
I will not let him get to me this semester.
I'll be strong. Be strong.
Be like a rock.
[instrumental music]
What did you say your name was?
Oh, yes. Linda Lee, huh?
Yes, my cousin probably wrote you.
Umm, maybe you got his letter under K for Kent?
In your files.
Kent?
It doesn't ring any bells.
Doesn't even ring a...
Oh, here it is. Big as life.
"My dear Mr. Danvers, I'm writing on behalf
of a very special young lady."
An orphan?
Don't expect to be treated any differently
on that account, Miss Lee.
Oh, no, sir, I won't.
One way or another, we're all alone
on this... miserable little planet.
Yes, sir, I know.
(Danvers) Since your school records were obviously lost in the mail
you'll have to start at the bottom.
It's only fair to the other girls.
You'll have English, Latin, math, biology, computing...
All at once?
...and chemistry.
Idle hands are the devil's playground. This way.
[music on stereo]
[indistinct chattering]
- Man on the floor! - Man on the floor!
[screaming]
[girls screaming]
[indistinct chattering]
[knocking on door]
Open up, Lane, I know you're in there.
I'm not decent, Mr. Danvers sir.
And you never will be either. You little liar.
Come on in. Come on in. I haven't got all year.
No.
I'm supposed to have a single this term.
We don't always get what we want, Miss Lane.
Disappointments thicken our skins.
Who wants thick skin?
[clears throat]
I'm Linda Lee.
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
I'm Lucy Lane.
Lucy Lee, this is Linda Lane.
- No, it isn't. - What?
- She's Linda Lee and I'm... - Lucy Lane.
You two know each other.
Oh, no. We just met.
- When? - Just now.
But we've known each other for years, haven't we, Linda?
- Oh, gee, I don't think I... - Oh, of course.
The Daily Planet, of course.
Linda's cousin works there. And your sister, what's her name?
The one that's always calling me and bothering me?
- Lois. - Ah, yes, that's the one.
Anyway, show our new Miss Lee around, Miss Lane.
Oh, by the way, she's an orphan
but don't let her play on your sympathies, hmm?
So, who's your cousin?
Clark Kent.
You're kidding me.
Clark Kent's your cousin? You're putting me on.
- You know him? - Do I know him?
Does my sister know him?
- Now, that's the big question. - Oh, I see.
I guess, if they worked at the same newspaper
they must know each other.
- Well... - ls this where I'll sleep?
Well, this is your bed, but we don't sleep around here.
Nonstop excitement in this dorm.
All the real dementals are sent here.
So, when's the rest of your stuff arriving?
I don't have any other stuff.
What? It's all in that little bag?
Oh, well, you see, I have the means to buy more, it's just...
Well, I just haven't had the chance since...
[instrumental music]
- Do you know him? - Superman? Sure.
My sister's got something goin' with the big guy.
Listen, you can borrow any of my clothes
any time you want. Just dig in and help yourself.
Thank you. You're very kind.
He's a real character. A real hunk.
I'll introduce you to him someday
if we wind up getting along.
[music continues]
Now, then, focus your tiny minds
on the kind of problem that it used to take
weeks of thought before the computer.
Even now it can take a long time
without certain algorithms
which... if you behave for two seconds
I might reveal to you.
[engine revving]
Love, hate, love, hate.
(Selena) Love.
The cards have decided
people will do anything for love.
They'll jump off cliffs for love.
They'll drown themselves like lemmings.
So... I'll make everybody love me.
Oh, no chance.
You're an awful person, honey, remember? Forget it.
Use your imagination, pinhead. That's what magic is all about.
Why are we not moving?
Because I'm in love.
(Bianca) Come here, you beautiful thing.
He's cute.
[buzzing]
Hell, what's going on?
(Nigel) Here's an exercise in big numbers I want you to try...
[buzzing]
(Selena) It's trying to tell me something.
Well, what? That we're near danger?
I don't know. How do I know?
[buzzing continues]
- I know. - Well, tell me.
My prince has come.
(Bianca) Oh, no.
I saw him first, Selena.
That's not fair. I copied his number first.
Well done. Now, let's get out of here.
[beeping]
(Nigel) ...average size of a Chinese family
average age of death and marriage and pregnancy.
(Nigel) Use this equation to compute the population of China
in the year 2040.
Linda... are you with us?
[girls laughing]
Umm...
- Yes, sir, I am. - Oh, are you?
Where, might I ask?
W-well, here, sir. On Earth... sir.
[girls laughing]
How fortunate for the rest of us.
May I presume that whilst you were staring at the wall
and not at your terminal like your other little friends here
you were in fact, hard at work
solving this little equation?
Oh, yes, sir, I was.
- I mean, I was... - Excellent.
The answer, please.
Pay attention, class, Miss Lee is about to enlighten us.
Five billion, two hundred and seventy one million
nine thousand and ten.
[girls laughing]
[bell ringing]
Come on, let's get outta here before he makes you stay.
(Lucy) Come on, hurry.
Miss Lee.
- Oh, shit. - Yes, sir?
Have you been going through my papers?
Of course not, sir.
Then how do you know the correct answer?
- How? - I guess, I just...
It's all this crazy weather we've been having, sir.
(Lucy) All the storms, shock waves, electromagnetism.
It makes people smarter than they are for a second.
We gotta go, sir.
Oh, boy, thanks. You know I gotta learn...
How did you know the answer?
I don't know. Six-dimensional geometry.
- I never could do it before. - Yeah.
Well, you want some friendly advice?
Don't go showing it off 'cause nobody's gonna like you.
I'll see you later.
[cheering]
Ah!
[whistle blows]
Nice going.
You know she tripped you on purpose?
Absolutely. She's retarded.
[whistle blows]
(female #6) There's not much time left. Come on, let's go.
[whistle blows]
You take it, Myra.
Hey, Myra, see if you can put Lane out for good.
[cheering continues]
(female #7) Come on, team. Come on.
[instrumental music]
[thud]
Hey, you guys alright?
[whistle blows]
- Oh, God. What happened? - Yes. You alright?
Myra, how'd she do that?
- It hit her shoulder. - I don't know.
Hey, you guys, did you see that cute guy in the softball field?
(female #8) Oh, yes.
(Lucy) With the black hair and the big muscles?
He was something else.
- Did you talk to him? - No, but I'm gonna.
Talk? Who'd waste time talking?
He's working on the trees, could be around for a while.
[steam hissing]
- Are they in? - Yes.
[beeping]
(female #9) Myra, you sure you wanna go through with this?
(Myra) Hey, what's with you? Chicken?
Oh, boy, I'm really gonna enjoy this.
I can't wait to hear them scream.
Why don't you shut off the hot and give them an ice bath?
(Myra) Are you kidding me? That's nowheresville.
If you shut off the cold you'll scald them.
So they lose a little skin. Serves them right.
I want to see them suffer.
[sizzling]
A-ah!
[screaming]
I am wet!
Ow!
[laughing]
Don't leave me. Don't leave me!
I hate you!
You never looked better!
We'll get you all!
[cheering]
What do you think?
It looks the same to me. It's kinda dull.
All you need is a couple of streaks and your ears pierced.
I can do it free of charge.
My ears what?
Pierced. Like in you know, I take a needle
I heat it up and then I dab it with some alcohol and zap.
All the guys go crazy.
Because I've holes in my ears?
What are you, putting me on?
Sometimes I can't figure you out, Linda.
So, where are you going this weekend?
Nowhere.
Nowhere? Well, you can't stay around here.
This place is depressing.
I mean, like the tombs.
- Why'? - Why?
What, were you born yesterday?
This is a three-day weekend.
A three-day weekend.
So, listen. Why don't you come home with me?
I only live about five miles from here and I got this guy
coming up from Metropolis.
I think he knows your cousin Clark.
His name's Jimmy Olsen.
I think he's real stuck on me.
Anyways, I could ask him to bring a friend along.
- What are you doing? - Oh, nothing.
Nothing.
No, I think I'm gonna stay here and study
get things organized.
Don't forget to call me Saturday.
Just a sec.
- Hey, Linda. - Hi.
I'll see you later at Popeye's then, okay?
- Alright, I'll try. I promise. - You better. It's gonna be fun.
' Bye-bye. - Bye.
Have a good time.
(made #2) Come along now, Lucy.
- Oh, mom, how are you doing? - I've had a terrible week.

I'm saving it for bigger things.
(man on radio) Hi, folks, you're missing the big sale.
Country and western boys from the Chicago area.
Now to start off the hour.
[doorbell ringing]
Bianca, get the door.
Bianca!
You rang?
Hey, you!
I said...
...you rang?
Oh, yeah.
How you doing?
Uh, I'm looking for some person called Mrs. Selena?
- Madame Selena. - Oh.
And you found her, lucky boy.
Entrer.
You must be very popular in the neighborhood.
I always see your truck parked around.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I get a lot of repeat business. People like my work.
Yes, I'm sure they do.
- Wet your whistle? - Huh?
Oh, yeah, yeah, as a matter of fact, I don't mind if I do.
So, uh, where's the one... ha-ha at?
It dropped dead.
Where at exactly? Uh, out back?
We might get to know each other a little more
before we dig in and talk real turkey.
Well, uh, see, I'm kind of a private person, you know.
I mean, I do my work, I go home.
- To your wife? - No.
At the present moment in time I'm currently enjoying
a single status in my personal life.
Cheers.
Bottoms up, huh?
Bottoms up.
I, I noticed you got a pretty alkaline-looking soil out there.
What I want...
...are some houseplants inside here.
Something that goes well with the house.
This is a house?
Of course, it's a house.
There's the bedroom over there.
I think it's getting dark in here.
You know, what kind of plant is gonna wanna...
...grow in this dump?
I don't know.
Shade plants.
- To us. - Hm?
And to the seeds we'll plant together.
Yeah, I'll-I'll drink...
...to that.
Hm, you probably killed him, you know.
[intense music]
Sleep well.
And when you wake...
...drown in my eyes and be all mine.
[doorbell ringing]
If that's the goddamn Jehovah's witnesses again.
I'll get it.
Oh, hello, Nigel. It's you.
Nice suit.
Subtle.
I want to see Selena.
She's indisposed at the moment.
(Selena) Whoever it is, we don't want any.
It's Nigel and he's not going away
until he talks to you.
What the devil do you want?
I want to make a very serious proposal.
In that outfit?
This is a leisure suit. I've got three days off
from those little beasts at Midvale
and I intend to let my hair down.
[eerie music]
Uh-oh.
[eerie music]
[music continues]
That ball will not operate at it's fullest
until you internalize your power, Selena.
Some mosaic invocations.
- Some what? - Come again?
Exactly, that's my point.
You girls are rank amateurs playing with fire.
Because we own the matches.
I, of all people, know a hustle when I hear one.
Now, goodbye, Nigel.
- It was nice talking to you. - No, it wasn't.
(Nigel) I hate to seem pushy, my fairest of the fair but...
A word of advice, Nigel.
If I had your skin problems,
I'd stop bothering people, put a bag over my head,
and go live under a bridge!
Ouch!
There's nothing wrong with my skin.
That bitch.
You know, some people.
Where is he?
[intense music]
Where is he?
Whoever he sees first, he'll love with all his heart.
What? For a day tops, right?
He was too young for you anyway, you know.
No, I do not know. Where is he?
Hey, I know that guy.
- Oh, the cable's out. - Oh, what cable?
This is a mirror.
So, how come we could...
...ever see him in it?
That was magic, dammit.
The power.
Oh, so make it happen again, you know?
I... can't make it happen again. I don't know how I did it.
Oh.
Maybe, you should let that thing out of it's box.
Maybe, it's more powerful if you let it out of it's box.
- The box. - The box.
- Where is it? - The box?
It's underneath the rug, where you left it.
Go ahead.
It's stuck.
This is not my day.
It's stuck?
How could it be stuck?
It's growing.
How could it be growing? It's made out of lead.
[intense music]
Oh.
Too bad, there's no sound.
How come there's no sound?
Get off the road, turkey!
(make it“ Hey, dummy, you wanna die?
(male #2) Smoking, stupid?
(male #3) You wanna kill yourself?
[cars honking]
[footsteps]
(female ♪1) She saw a lawyer, and now she's gonna file.
I told her to take him for every cent, clean him out.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
[people chattering]
[music on radio]
Here you go, everybody. Who wants onion rings?
- Yeah, here. - Thanks.
- Some French fries? - French fries are mine.
Chicken for myself. Thank you.
- Thanks. - Side order tomatoes?
Thanks for inviting me, Lucy.
I'm glad you could come, Jimmy.
- You want a root beer? - Yeah, thanks.
Oh, there's Linda.
Hey, Linda!
- Hi. - Oh, hello.
That's Clark Kent's cousin?
(male #4) Who's Clark Kent?
(female #2) Is that Linda?
- Guess what. - What?
There's this all-night party tonight at Eddie's.
He's the guy with the tattoo.
His folks are out of town.
And the guy with the bow tie, that's Jimmy.
So, you wanna come?
I don't know. I'm not signed out for an overnight.
So what? Go back, sign in and climb out the window.
Mrs. Murphy's drunk as a skunk by now.
Totally on another planet.
Oh, I don't know. It just doesn't seem right.
But that's why it'll be fun.
' Okay? ' Okay,
[honking]
(male #5) Get off the road, buddy.
Hey, stupid.
Look at that dingleberry.
What's a dingleberry?
Hey, you, space cadet! Get out of the street!
- What is wrong with him? - I don't know.
He's probably on drugs.
And he's gonna get creamed if he's not too careful.
- Hi. Jimmy Olsen, photographer. - Oh, I-I'm Kara.
- Who? - Who?
Oh, I'm...
...concerned.
Well, that if we don't do something.
You go out there, try to help a guy like that and he's
probably got a gun or a knife.
It's not too safe.
Hey, I'm starving. Let's eat.
Come on, Linda.
Power of shadow.
(Selena) Bring him to me.
[engine revving]
[intense music]
Whoa.
Look at that.
(male #6) Hey, get out.
(male #7) Look out. Watch out.
[crowd screaming]
(male #3) MY Car!
[music continues]
You've never seen a tattoo before, Linda?
- Look'. - What's that?
There's somebody hanging out of it.
Doesn't look like there's anybody driving.
Oh, my God. It's a runaway.
- Somebody's gotta do something. - Hey, what's she doing?
Lucy, be careful. Lucy!
- Come on. - Lucy!
[intense music]
[music continues]
God, there's the pump?
[screaming]
(female #3) She's still in there.
- Oh, excuse me. I'm in a rush. - I know the feeling.
Are you okay?
(male #9) It's gasoline! It's gasoline!
[intense music]
[music continues]
- Hey, look at that. - What?
[music continues]
A storm dragon?
A Supergirl.
[intense music]
[music continues]
Oh, my God!
Don't. Don't look at her.
You're gonna be alright.
There's no broken bones.
[ambient music]
I love you.
What did he say?
Looked like "I love you", to me.
No! No!
You love me?
With all my heart, forever.
A bird of free and careless wing
was I through many a smiling spring.
The cold repulse, the look askance.
The lightning of love's angry glance, stay.
Let me behold you.
L-I have to go.
Oh, I-l have to go.
(police) Everything's under control.
Lucy!
(police) Just go on, back to your homes.
LUCY -.
- Oh. - Thank God.
- You alright? - I think so.
I hit my head.
Nigel must know her.
She must be one of his students. He must have put her up to it.
No. I don't think that at all.
Oh, she just happened to be in the wrong place
at the wrong time, right?
Materializing in a bulldozer, huh?
She's a wimpy little thing.
I don't know why you care what she does, anyway.
Because nobody gets in my way.
Why don't you just leave this poor kid alone
and worry about the other one that flies?
I worry about everything. It's my job. Stand back.
Oh, come on now. She's just a teenager.
What good is a sword if it's not unleashed?
But she's a total zero. You don't even know her name.
The naming of names is not necessary.
Let us concentrate on her face.
And my Shadow will do the rest.
Your what?
Power of Shadow...
...take shape.
Look like a vicious dark star.
Seek out, that wretched young creature.
And destroy her wherever she...
...are.
Oh, God. That's awful.
That's never gonna work.
[high-pitch beeping]

Oh, my God!

I'm scared.

[Bianca gasps]
There she is again.
What did she say?
No, this is not possible.
This is not right.
Where's the wimp?
Ah!
I think he can take care of her.
Ah!
[dramatic music]
See? What did I tell you?
She quit, right?
Wrong.

Every time!
Send a man to do a woman's job and that's what you get.
Damn her eyes. Who is she?
- Are you asking me? - I'm telling you.
Find out!
Well, sure. But, you know, I think I recognize the costume.
(female on TV) Leave him alone. Let him.
Where have you been?
- Outside... - Look at you.
Look at those clothes.
Oh, I'll go change. I-I'm sorry.
And you'll put on your proper school uniform.
And get out of that ridiculous costume.
Yes, ma'am.
- And cover your legs. - Yes, ma'am.
Don't you "yes, ma'am" me.
No, ma'am.
I think you're blowing this thing out of proportion
if you want my opinion.
Oh, no. This box is definitely getting bigger...
...and uglier.
All I'm saying is you can't go nuts
over a landscape guy and a teenager in a blue suit.
She flies.
Can you get that through your thick skull
and into your tiny brain, Bianca?
The girl can fly.
[bell tolling]
Okay-
Now.
Let's get serious.
Come to mama.
- Oh. - Oh.
Oh.
Whoa.
[beeping]
- Selena, cut it out. - I'm not doing it.
[beeping continues]
[distant barking]
[beeping continues]

I'm no angel.

It's the wimp again.
And she's trespassing.
[footstep]
Hello.
Oh, no. Not now.
'Tis only but me, my love.
Please, you'll let everyone know.
What? That I love you?
I'd shout it from the highest hill.
[shushing] Please don't.
I know you think me the fool, at least tell me your name.
Linda. Linda Lee.
Linda.
Lovely Linda Lee.
These roses pale beside thee.
Oh.
Well, thank you, but I'm...
And sweet chocolates for my sweet Linda.
Hm.
[sniffing]
[grunting]
What are you doing?
Please?
Oh, no, I...
Please.
Well, alright. But just for a minute.
You hate me, don't you?
Hate you? I don't even know you.
I don't even know your name.
Ethan.
Say my name aloud but once and I shall die the happy fool.
- Look, Ethan... - Huh!
Ethan.
Your soft caress did at once renew
the beating of this broken heart.
Are you crazy?
Marry me?
[melancholic music]
Marry you?
- I don't... - Don't say it. Don't, please.
I know.
What?
We're from different worlds.
- You mean, you know where I'm... - Just give me a chance, Linda.
Love makes everything possible.
A poor uneducated gardener can indeed worship a rich debutante
and make her happy if she'd just...
Oh, Ethan.
I'm not rich. I'm just...
Well, then I'll support us both.
You're nuts, you know that?
You're so sweet, but you're out of your mind.
Over you.
[music continues]
[lights sputtering]
What a touching scene.
[intense music]
[music continues]
Round and round they go.
Where they stop.
Boy, you're really getting the hang of this.
Oh.
[groaning]
Where is she?
[gasps]
Jesus.
Who are you?
I am Selena.
Diadanus of Catania.
Priestess of Sechnid. I am the ultimate Siren of Endor
and you, little lady, are trespassing on private property.
She means him.
I am Kara of Argo City.
Daughter of Alura and Zor-El.
And I don't scare easily.
No?
No.
Try...
...this.
[grunts]
This lady is improving by leaps and bounds, I gotta tell you.

Now I am really upset.
[pleasant music]
[music continues]
What's going on?
Oh.
Put me down.
- Where am I? - You're safe.
Safe? Where's Linda?
Put me down.
- Where's my Linda? - Take it easy.
[whizzing]
Ethan.
Ha-ha. Very clever.
That ought to keep her out of your hair for a few hours.
Clever? A cheap trick.
Power of Shadow.
Bring him to me.
Bring him... to me.
Ugh!
Didn't work, huh?
Maybe they're too far away.
I can make the sky rain coconuts with pinpoint accuracy.
But I still can't control men's minds.
Not with her around.
So maybe...
Now, don't go through the roof.
But maybe we ought to back down
and give old you-know-who a call.
You-know-who.
- Spit it out. - Nigel.
I shall pretend you didn't say that.
But I did.
All I'm thinking and forgive me
for thinking out of turn here...
...is that he's been around.
He knows things we don't.
Plus, the way you wrap him around your little finger
I'm always amazed.
[melodic music]
[music continues]
What's in it for me?
Me.
Ah-ha.
My dear Nigel, the way to a woman's heart is through
the elimination of her rivals.
Murder? Are you proposing that...
Oh, certainly not. Leave that to me.
You deliver the goods. Her.
Her? How?
By getting me...
...him.
- She'll follow. - Well, I don't.
- Follow any of this, I mean... - Put that down.
Nigel, I want one thing.
Time to master my new toy.
(Nigel) So, we can rule the world?
And you want him here?
Johnny Appleseed in your living room?
Yes. In the flesh.
So, she'll follow?
- No other reason? - None.
You're sure of that?
Whoops, I'm sorry. The little spider got out.
What?
Where am I?
- Who are you? - Kara.
Kara?
What happened?
You got hit on the head by a coconut.
- Huh? - Hm.
What's with the Halloween costume?
This is not a costume. These are my clothes.
What do you mean?
Look, I-I have to go now.
I'll come back for you later. I've just gotta get back to
the amusement park.
Amusement park? Linda!
I gotta find Linda, she was in trouble.
Well, Linda's alright. She can take care of herself.
No, no. She can't. Something's wrong.
She's in big trouble and I love her.
I love her.
Yeah, I do love her.
I have to go, Ethan. Goodbye.
Yes, so do I.
Hey!
I told you Linda can take care of herself.
- You just flew over my head. - I'll take care of everything.
I said you just flew over my head. True or false?
True.
Like Superman.
He's my cousin.
- He's your cousin? - Yes.
I shouldn't be telling you this though...
Wait one minute. I mean you can do the whole number, leap tall
buildings with a single bound? And look right through things?
- Yes - Bend steel bars?
- Yes. - Whoa!
- Oh, Selena. I have to go. - Wait a minute.
- Selena has the Omegahedron. - Please take me with you.
I have to find Linda.
[intense music]
[Bianca gasping]
What is it?
The Burundi Wand.
Pure, unadulterated evil.
Ready?
[beeping]
[dramatic music]
But how can you love her?
- You don't even know her. - Oh, yeah, I do.
And she's in trouble, then I got no business
standing here, talking with you.
Even if you are what you say you are.
Linda is not in trouble.
Look, uh, don't make me get rough, okay?
You wouldn't stand a chance.
Please trust me.
Linda is alright.
How do you know?
I just...
...know.
[melodic music]
Linda.
(Bianca) Oh, my God.
How did you do that?
Ethan.
Ethan!
[dramatic music]
Nigel, you are wonderful.
Pure genius.
You deserve...
...me.
And something else.
Now, let's get out of this dump.
(male #1) Did you see this thing? Look at this!
Hey, what's the matter? Catchin' flies?
Lucy, look.
(make #2) One minute nothing. The next minute this.
(Lucy) What is it?
(Jimmy) It's a mountain, Lucy. Isn't it?
Tell me I'm not seeing things.
(Lucy) How did it get there, Jimmy?
(Jimmy) I don't know. It just appeared.
(Lucy) How can a mountain just appear?
Hey, there's something on the top.
(Jimmy) Looks like a castle.
(Lucy) Looks more like a fortress.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Ethan?
Ethan.
[chains rattling]
[dramatic music]
(Linda) Ethan!
Ah.
Enjoy your prison, Supergirl...
...forever and ever.
No, Ethan!
Don't do it!
Ethan!
[laughing]
[laughing continues]

(male #3) You can't arrest me without a warrant.
I'm calling my lawyer.
[intense music]
(Selena) Slow down.
(Lucy) We want Selena out.
Smile, lunkhead. You're not a gardener anymore.
You're Prince Ethan, now.
Are we gonna stand up to her or not?
(crowd) Yes.
Selena must go!
Who's this little twerpette?
She's someone who believes in freedom.
Lucy, it's not a good time to express yourself.
(Lucy) I don't know, who you are.
Or what evil force you represent.
But if you think you can get rid of anybody who stands up to you.
Just make them disappear. Like my friend Linda.
Who?
Linda, my roommate.
She disappeared the day that mountain showed up.
[together] The wimp.
Seize them!
[indistinct yelling]
(Jimmy) Leave her alone!
(Selena) Drive off.
(Jimmy) Leave her alone.
Nobody messes around with Jimmy Olsen!
Now, let go of me. I'm with the press!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[water dripping]
[gasps]
[music continues]
[gasps]
Zaltar.
Squirt.
- Zaltar? - Squirt.
Zaltar, it's me. It's-it's Kara.
I know.
Squirt.
[Spits]
What is that?
Where are we?
Nowhere.
The Phantom Zone?
It's lonely here, my Kara.
So sad.
I've been here forever and I shall stay here forever.
- Ethan'? - Yes, my damn'.
Don't call me your "darling." You despise me.
- Get me the coffer of shadow. - Yes, my darling.
Now...
...I think we need something.
There.
[Bianca gasps]
Oh, Jimmy.
Oh, terrific.
The old dangling-in-a-cage routine.
Pathetic, Selena.
- Who's that guy? - He's my math teacher, I think.
(Bianca) What are they for?
Insurance.
But you can't just give up.
You founded a whole city.
I did, and then I doomed it to destruction.
That was an error. A tragic one.
When you're my age and you make as many
tragic errors as I do, it is a different tune
that you will sing.
I will not. I'll never give up.
I will never spend my entire life in a place like this.
- I would die first! - Strong words.
There are worse things than dying and I deserve every one.
- What is this? - A horse... I think.
On earth I think it's called a horse.
- And you made this here? - Mm.
- Then you haven't given up. - Don't be ridiculous.
Earth, Zaltar. Earth, a tree, a horse.
You keep making things from earth.
- The place intrigues me. - Well, then, let's go there.
Certainly. When is the next train?
What is a train?
[laughing]
What's so funny? Don't laugh at me, Zaltar.
I'm only laughing at myself.
For you, I weep.
Is this train a way out of here?
There is no way out of here.
That is the point of the Phantom Zone.
My neighbors now: The criminals, the corrupt, the evil...
...they're here.
Over the hill there.
With no way out.
But, there's always a way out.
If there's a way in, there's a way out.
There is a way.
- But it's impossible. - Why?
No, it wouldn't work.
You'd be swept into a singularity
if it didn't work. No.
Forget I mentioned it. Have a squirt instead.
I could do it.
Then, please. At least teach me how.
There's nothing to teach. You can't, as they say
practice at the rift. You get one chance only.
- The rift? - Sure? You won't have a squirt?
Once you get used to it, I think it's delicious.
You're right.
You are absolutely right.
There is enough doom and gloom in the air already.
And it is better to accept defeat
than to take a chance and try like fools to redeem ourselves
and save our city and all those who we love there.
Plus all the people on Earth that this wicked sorceress
is going to make suffer just because of us. Cheers!
We could die trying.
But we won't.
We won't. Come on.
[wind howling]
(Selena) Tomorrow.
Thursday. Friday.
Just like here, we go for the cops first, right?
And the army.
By Saturday, we have the continental United States,
Mexico, Canada.
[machine squealing]
(Bianca) Oh, my God, Selena. It's the box.
- Hush it up. - No.
What the box wants, the box gets.
[gasps]
[dramatic music]
What is it?
Fascinating.
[laughing]
I don't know.
(Supergirl) ls this it?
Is this the way out?
(Zaltar) Not yet! This is the Quantum Vortex!
We must risk our destruction in it.
To move mountains, you must make sacrifices.
(Supergirl) Zaltar, I'm scared!
(Zaltar) Accept your fears.
Confront your demons.
Find your destiny in the maelstrom!
[dramatic music]
[whirling]
[music continues]
Zaltar, I can't. I can't.
You... can!
Two specks. Look!
[music continues]
What do I do?
How do you murder someone in the Phantom Zone?
She's with some old guy, it looks like.
Move, huh. Come on!
Calm down, okay.
Ah. This is what I want.
The Salian Fireballs.
Page 321. Chapter 6.
[music continues]
Whoa!
What is that?
Watch out!
[music continues]
"Power of Rainmaking". No!
"How to separate husband and wife."
No, not now. Not now!
Well, you better find something fast, like an atom bomb.
[music continues]
I found it.
"Summoning... the demon storm."
(Zaltar) Hurry... go,
Higher girl, higher.
- Come with me! - I am with you!
On, girl.
I am with you.
Zaltar!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[beeping]
[triumphant music]
[glass shattering]
Oh, thank God.
You've had your fun, Selena. The game is finished.
Hardly.
One false step, bluebird.
And even if you don't, your friends will get the point.
(Jimmy) He)', no!
[sizzling]
I don't like this.
Don't worry, Lucy. Don't worry.
I wouldn't if I were you.
Well, you're not me.
[air gushing]
- On! 'Ah!
(Supergirl) Quick, get out of the way. Into the alcove over there.
- Come on, out. - Hurry, Jimmy. Hurry.
The Omegahedron, Selena.
I want it.
Well, then, Supergirl. You shall have it.
[beeping]
[music intensifies]
Ah!
[dramatic music]
Ah!
Supergirl, above you. Look out!
[grunts]
[gasps]
Ah!
[explosion]
[music continues]
I think I'll be going. If you'll excuse me.
[screaming]
That's what I said. I'm staying, I'm staying.
[wind howling]
You have no friends, Selena.
You treat everyone as if they were put on this earth
to serve you.
More or less, I think they were.
You included.
Power of shadow.
Appear!
[growling]
[monster roaring]
[roaring continues]
Power of shadow...
...destroy her!
[roaring continues]
[growling]
[Supergirl groaning]
[groaning continues]
Ah!
Oh!
[groaning continues]
I... can't.
I can't!
(Zaltar) You can!
On, girl.
[dramatic music]
Yes!
[monster growling]
Confront her with it! It's the only way!
[music continues]
(Selena) O-oh!
[growling]
[screaming]
No! No! No!
[growling continues]
[screaming]
(Bianca) Argh!
[Selena screaming]
[glass crackling]
[triumphant music]
Oh!
I have to go.
I have to return this to where it belongs.
And I must ask you all something.
It's alright, Supergirl. We never saw you.
We never even heard of you.
Thank you.
(Supergirl) Ethan, Linda, she...
Well, she had to leave in a hurry, but she...
You don't have to say a word.
I know.
I'll explain about Linda.
Thank you, Ethan.
Take care of yourself, kiddo.
[music continues]
[people screaming]
Wow! That was some kiss.
Wow!
Goodbye, Linda.
