Uh!
Hi, honey, welcome home. You're home early.
And look, she brought me flowers!
How was your day, my busy little reporter?
My busy, busy little reporter!
Yeah.
How about a picture of her where she's not so, you know?
Clothed?
Grow up.
I meant smug.
Excuse me! Would you mind switching it
from freeze to photoflash?
Say freeze, baby.
Very nice.
Yeah.
Y-y-yeah!
'Alright, come on, let's go.'
But we didn't find what we came to look for.
Maybe that's because, um, it's not here.
Oh.
Oh, oh, can I have one of these, please?
I love these. Oh, come on, she has another one.
Can I have one, please? Just one?
- Okay! - Out!
Uhm!
Lois, where've you been?
I've been trying to get a hold of you. You won't believe this.
The Prankster broke out of jail.
I know, Griffin and his beady-eyed friend
were waiting for me when I got home.
They were in your apartment?
They must have been looking for something.
The place was a mess, nothing was missing.
Are you alright?
Yeah, I guess so.
Chief! Chief, you better take a look at this.
What is this?
It was the weirdest thing.
I walked into my apartment
and there was this intense yellow light.
And you don't remember a thing
that happened after that.
How did you know?
The same thing happened at the state penitentiary.
That's how Griffin and Victor broke out of jail.
They froze a guard in the laundry room
and they left him in his underwear in a dryer.
What is with me and people breaking into my apartment
and flashing lights in my eyes?
Well, you know, Lois, this doesn't bode well
for your interview with the President.
Why?
The White House probably won't be too excited
about exposing the President to the Prankster.
Clark, the President is coming to Metropolis
to present the city with an award
for the lowest crime rate in America.
I think it would be embarrassing
for him to cancel his trip because there's one criminal
loose in the street.
Now, Lois, I know you're the only reporter
to get an interview with the President
and I'm proud of you, but I think
this has got to be the White House's call.
But, Perry!
Lois, it is the President of United States.
(Griffin) All we have to do is figure out a way
to make this thing work on Superman.
We're home free.
Do we have to go up against him again?
Why can't we just use this thing
to, you know, rob a bank or something?
Victor, I'm gonna teach you
how to use something I'm sure you don't use
each and every day, and it's called your mind.
The mind helps us see the big picture, Victor.
Now, if we were to rob a little bank
we'd get a few measly little dollars.
But imagine a big picture..
...big picture, Victor!
Millions of dollars.
Picture yourself making history.
Because how much money do you think
the government of the United States of America
would pay to ransom the President?
A lot.
You know, Victor, you, um..
...you have a, uh, a sweet
and, and, and ultimately irritating knack
for understatement, would you mind handing me
the photoconductive cell?
Umm.
Oh! Ho! Ho!
Did you see it?
A rat, a huge rat.
Probably a whole nest of them under the floor.
Victor, I'm not interested in hysterical fantasies
from your screwed-up childhood
in that daycare center basement.
Now, may I have the photoconductive cell?
Please do not make me ask again
or the consequences will not be pretty.
That wasn't so hard, was it?
I guess not.
Whew!
Now, I want you to pick it up once again
but rather slowly this time
because you got to face those fears, Victor.
You got to get right down there and you got to..
Not a word, not a word.
- Oh! - Down you go.
- Oh! - Face those fears.
Good boy, Victor, he's a good boy.
You're a good boy.
Why do we have to stay here?
Why can't we hide out in a place
that's, you know, a little nicer?
Well, I'll tell you what, this is a condemned building.
(Griffin) 'No one can find us here which I find to be'
a pretty good ingredient for a hideout.
Alright.
All new and improved.
All we have to do now is come up with
a micro step-up transformer. Did you locate one?
Uh...yes, yes, yes, I did.
And where is it?
Uh, at the Metropolis department--
Of?
Light and power.
Yeah, and do they have one?
Uh, yes, they just installed them in their master switcher.
Oh, goody!
Well, when Griffin's father got out of jail
he sold the toy store and disappeared.
And that warehouse you caught Griffin in
they turned that into a Buddhist temple.
Thanks, Jimmy, keep searching.
You got it.
Miss Lane?
Yes?
Kerrigan, Secret Service.
You phoned our office?
Oh, yes, uh, you didn't have to come down here.
You could have just called me back.
I never use the phone.
Commies can tap phones.
Now, what is all this about?
Well, I'm the reporter that's going
to be interviewing the President.
We know that.
[chuckles] Of course you do.
Um, well, I just wanted to make you aware
of the fact that we have a minor situation
that's developed with a small-time criminal.
If it's about the Prankster, we know about it.
Oh, you do? Oh, then there's no problem?
There's always a problem.
There is?
You see, no one thought there was a problem
when Carter went fishing
until that killer rabbit came out of nowhere
and charged his rowboat.
[chuckles] Killer rabbit.
[chuckles] I get it, that's good.
The 21st of April '79.
I should have been there..
...but I took the day off that day.
And I went to the dentist.
Impacted tooth.
It you want to take care of the President
you've got to take care of your teeth.
I see.
Well, I, I can see that
with you and your men protecting him
the President has nothing to worry about.
Clark! Uh, huh.
I want you to meet Mr. Kerrigan from the Secret Service.
He says that he and his men have everything under control.
Oh, good, so then you're not worried
about this freezing weapon?
Weapon? It's not a weapon, it's an invention.
It seems to freeze people in place very temporarily.
It's really harmless.
Sort of a '90s version of that kids' game freeze tag.
[chuckles] Oh, God, what am I saying?
Anyway, um, I get nervous, you know.
- The Presidential-- - Lois, that's not exactly--
What? You weren't there.
I was there, he wasn't there, he doesn't know.
Mr. Kerrigan is a trained professional.
And, and the police are looking for the Prankster
and Superman, I'm sure, is on the job
so the President would probably be safer here in Metropolis
than he would be in the White House.
And what do you know about the White House, ma'am?
Well, nothing.
Nothing! I, it was just an example, you know, right?
I could have said safer than a bug in a rug
or...two peas in a pod.
Are you on any type of medication, ma'am?
Who are you?
The painter.
City decided this place needed a little sprucing up.
Let me see your work order.
Oh, yeah.
- Oh! - Oh, oh, I'm, I'm sorry.
Right here, there you are.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You know, no one told me anything about this.
That's your bureaucracy for you.
You're gonna get a nice fresh coat of Navajo white.
Okay, well, hold on.
Just, just wait a second, hold on.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going.
- Alright. It won't take long. - I'm going.
I'm in.
Ooh! Uh! Ah!
- Hey, dad. - Hey!
- Nice job. - Oh, stuff it.
You know how I hate suck-ups.
Whoo hoo hoo!
Ugh! Uh! Uh!
Uh, did you find the keys?
- You and your stupid questions! - Aah!
Um!
Um! Uh!
- You idiot! - You idiot!
Micro step-up transformer.
This little baby will increase the weapon's power twelve-fold
by coupling itself with the multiplex
negative ohm resistor!
You're boring me.
Come here.
- Now. - Okay.
- Ooh! - Give me that.
- Ah, see? - Shut up!
Go get the contact lenses.
This isn't fair, I put him away twice before.
Lois, are you gonna stay at your apartment tonight?
Well, I didn't want to.
Every hotel room in town is booked
because of the President.
Perry offered, but Alice has the flu
so I didn't wanna impose.
Well, you know, you, you could..
Oh, no. I..
...I just think, you know, with us dating or..
...almost dating that, um, I would feel uncomfortable.
(Jimmy) 'Goodnight, guys!'
Hey, Jimmy, you have a pull-out couch, don't you?
- Oh, Clark. - Yeah, why?
Well, it's just that..
...Lois needs a place to stay for a few nights
until this whole Prankster thing is resolved.
Oh, um, well..
I mean, are you sure you wanna stay there?
I mean, it's just a hole in the wall bachelor pad, you know.
You know, Jimmy, if it makes you uncomfortable--
No, no, no!
I mean...as long as you don't mind roughin' it
it's okay with me.
That's what friends are for.
Thanks.
I promise, you won't even know I'm there.
Uh, you know what? Maybe I better get home
straighten things up a little bit
before you get there, alright?
(Jimmy) 'Hold the elevator!'
That was sweet of him.
What the heck?
Lois Lane.
Hi, Lo, great to talk to you again.
'Listen, I know you've been wondering where I am, and--'
It's Griffin.
'And I didn't want you to be kept in the dark.'
You're controlling the lights at the "Daily Planet."
Oh, well, I, I'd say I'm, uh
pretty much controlling the whole darn city.
Take a look.
What do you want now, Griffin?
Well, since you're my favorite reporter
I thought I'd give you a scoop on an electrifying story.
Ow!
I've accessed the computers for Metropolis Light and Power
'and later on, when I shut down the airport'
'it should be a real party.'
Talk about flyin' blind.
Ta-ta.
(Lois) 'Where are you going?'
To the airport, in case the Prankster
makes good on his threat.
Okay, I'll follow up on Metropolis Light and Power.
(automated) 'You've reached Metropolis Light and Power.'
'Due to the high volume of calls'
'your wait time may be anywhere from five to 15 minutes.'
'Thank you for your patience.'
Oh, this is ridiculous.
(Griffin) Hey, Lois!
- Griffin. - Knew you'd come.
Reporters are so predictable.
What's this all about?
It's about magic.
It's about wonder!
It's about power.
Lots of power.
- If you give yourself up-- - Shut up!
There's only two words we want to hear you say.
And those two words would be, "Help, Superman."
Come on, let me hear you say, "Help, Superman."
Ohh, Victor, I think she's gonna
need some, some persuasion.
Uh!
Lois, this is a boiler, it's very hot.
See?
And this is the gauge that tells us
how much pressure's in the boiler.
Now, normally, this old boiler
can take this much pressure.
But today, we're gonna turn the pressure
all the way up to here.
Thanks for playing along.
Johnny, tell her what she's won.
A trip for one into orbit.
Don't get steamed.
Superman, I could really use your help right now.
Who am I kidding?
Superman, help!
(Lois) 'Help, Superman!'
Well, there goes my dream of living on a ranch with Lois
three kids, ropin' steer, deep-fryin' stuff.
You should have never come back to Metropolis, Griffin.
(Griffin) I'll be out of your life.
Just came back to pick up my CDs.
Smile.
Darn it!
Don't you ever learn?
Learn this, in about 15 seconds
a very big boiler's gonna blow up
and then Lois Lane will be just a memory.
Where is she?
That's for you to know and for us to find out.
Victor...why haven't I killed you yet?
I..
Uh!
Superman!
Oh, I hope I never get laryngitis.
Did you see Griffin?
He got away.
You were his safety valve in case his weapon
couldn't freeze me.
Lois, you might wanna leave town until I can catch him.
Oh, I can't leave town.
In two days, I have an exclusive interview
with the President of the United States.
And it's not that often I get to meet somebody
with such incredible power.
I mean, except for you, I mean, but, but you're different.
I mean, not different in an obvious way
but, you know, you're just sort of more than a story, and..
...I don't know. You know..
...you're, you're, well, you know what you are.
Don't you?
(Griffin) 'This new transformer..'
'...lets me modulate the intensity'
'and duration of the blast'
allowing me to freeze someone for a minute.
Five minutes, an hour..
...or a day.
Yeah, except for Superman.
That's right, that's right, Victor.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I see, that's why we have to figure out where
besides Lois Lane's apartment
we can get the information on him that we need.
- Aah! - What? What is it?
There was a tail under the bed.
Listen, I saw this documentary
where this whole family got bitten by r..
...ats, and they all got sick
and they had to get shots.
And you know I hate needles.
Now, Victor..
...now, instead of putting pincers up inside our nostrils
which is ornamental, but perhaps not as helpful
as one would wish, why don't you help Kyle
come up with some kind of idea?
- Okay. Okay, I've got an idea. - Mm-hmm.
Maybe Lois Lane has some sort of file
on her computer at work.
You, you know, like maybe a diary or something.
- Victor! - What, yeah!
Do you realize what you've done?
- Bad idea? - No! It's wonderful!
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Don't expect me to be all happy and peppy
on three hours' sleep.
Ever since I was a kid I've slept with the TV on, Lois.
I can't help it.
Don't you think freaking out because I turned it off
was a bit overdramatic? I mean, come on!
It was a 976 infomercial.
I didn't do it on purpose.
That's just the way I wake up when there isn't any noise.
Which explains why you live across from a fire station.
(Clark) 'I just spoke to Metropolis Edison.'
They managed to contain the blast to one sector
so they can still meet the city's power needs.
Oh, thank God.
One blackout's about all I can handle.
Now, Lois, I just got off the phone
with Helen Bartlett at the White House
and they are very concerned about the Prankster.
And the President's gonna cut his trip
as tight as possible.
Don't tell me. My interview's canceled.
Well, they did say that they wanted to reschedule.
Oh, I knew it, if I ever get
my hands on that Griffin, I swear I'll kill him.
Hey, hey, hey! Just hold your horses.
I said they wanted to reschedule.
And I told them that they weren't dealing
with some small-town rag, that this was the "Daily Planet."
In other words, chief, you groveled.
- But only on one knee. - Yes!
You got five minutes.
Five minutes? That's it?
Lois, that's five minutes more
than any other reporter's getting.
Guess you're right.
Alright, I want you two to concentrate
all your attention on the Prankster.
People of Metropolis hate him
but they love reading about him.
Five minutes.
What can I do with five minutes?
Look, Lois, we've still got 24 hours.
There has to be somebody who can give us a lead on Griffin.
What do you mean you don't know anything?
Hey, hey, what are you doin'?
Well, I'm not feeding you so you can tell me
you don't know anything.
Well, sometimes you got to feed me on spec.
Maybe I'll find something out in a couple days.
A couple of days will be too late.
Well, then consider it a down payment on the next time.
Boy, oh, boy, are we testy.
She's just upset.
Because of Griffin, her interview
with the President got cut down to five minutes.
I only get to ask one question.
It's not fair, I have so many areas I wanna cover.
Don't play with that.
I, I wasn't playing with it.
Okay, I won't do it again.
[chuckles] I think I found the perfect test target.
- Where? - Right over there.
Yeah.
It worked!
You're not just gonna leave them like that?
[laughing] Yes, I am.
That's why they call me the Prankster
and that's funny.
(Griffin) 'It's funny! It's funny!'
So what would you ask him, Clark?
Something about the economy or foreign policy?
Actually, I think I'd ask him something
that people would find interesting
but wouldn't normally ask, like, if he could be
a major league baseball player
what position would he play and why?
- Are you serious? - Umm.
That would be your one big question?
No offense, Clark, but I think that's pretty dumb.
Gee, Clark, that's a very good question.
Thank you.
[man shouting] 'Help! Somebody, help!'
'The piano's gonna fall!'
Uh, I just remembered that I have
a dentist's appointment in a few minutes.
Uh, I'll meet you back at "The Planet."
Griffin!
Lois...um..
...I'd like to apologize about last night.
I, I've never had anybody sleep over before.
Little wonder.
Yeah. Well, anyway..
...I think I've solved the problem.
Headphones.
Now we can both sleep.
[chuckles] Thanks, Jimmy.
That was, um, awfully sweet.
You got it.
So what are you working on?
The one question I can ask the President.
You're part of generation X.
What would somebody your age ask?
Me? I'd, uh, I'd ask him for a job.
I think it'd be cool working in the White House.
Well, that wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
- Sorry. - Here you go, Lois.
Oh, Perry, what one question would you ask the President?
Oh, that's easy, I'd ask him why he vetoed the bill
to make Graceland a national monument.
Perry, I'm serious.
Well, I am, too, when it comes to that
I'm serious as a heart attack.
Now, anything new on Griffin?
(Griffin) 'Huh! Why don't you ask him yourself?'
These shoes are new, Perry!
Hmm...
What, what, what's this?
What's so funny, C.K?
(Lois) 'Uh!'
Why am I?
Huh! Griffin!
- Uh! - Jimmy, give me back my dress.
Now, there's something you don't hear
around the newsroom every day.
Look at my tie.
How do you get this thing off?
Look on the bright side, Lois.
At least no permanent damage was done.
Oh, yeah? Tell that to my tie.
I loved this tie.
(Perry) 'Why couldn't it have been that ugly fish tie'
Alice gave me for Christmas?
Well, I think the better question, chief
is why was Griffin here in the first place?
My continuing degradation comes to mind.
No, I think that's just a bonus.
My guess is that he was looking
for whatever it is he couldn't find in your apartment.
Maybe you ought to check your computer, Lois.
Hello, Lo.
Wasn't that fun?
Well, it was for me, too.
By the way, there's one thing I'd like to know--
Where you buy your lingerie.
Bye.
Now, why is it that Victor and Griffin
can zap an entire newsroom
and not be affected by the light?
Because they're subhuman.
No, maybe Professor Hamilton
has a slightly more scientific explanation.
Ordinarily, signals are sent via the optic nerve
to the occipital lobe of the brain.
However, this Griffin character seems to have found a way
to divert the light to the central motor cortex
which is located here.
And that causes paralysis.
Spontaneous muscle contraction
effectively freezing the victim in place.
So why wasn't Griffin affected?
I don't know, unless he wore some sort of glasses
that would block the effects of the rays.
No glasses.
I mean, his eyes did look sort of strange.
They were sparkly, and they had a reddish tint.
- Contact lenses? - That could be it.
Professor, could you make contact lenses like that?
[sighs] I don't know, it's a long shot.
I'd have to experiment with various
occipital lobes, in order to determine--
Anything you could do.
Thanks, professor.
Oh, by the way, if you could ask
the President of the United States one question
what would it be?
I'd demand to know why the government
is covering up hard data
on the obvious existence of UFOs.
Yeah, uh-ha, that's, that's a good one.
- Yeah, obviously. - Thanks.
Occipital, occipital, occipital.
Ooh!
Victor.
Mmm!
Victor.
What are you doing?
Oh, uh..
I'm, uh, oh.
You sound like a pervert at a magazine stand.
What did I ask you to do?
Look up information about Superman?
That's right.
And are you looking up information about Superman?
Not exactly.
I see.
Well, Victor, what exactly are you doing?
Well, I found this file on Lois Lane's computer
and, uh, it looks like she's writing some kinda novel.
(Victor) 'Uh, it's a story about this female reporter'
who meets this guy from outer space
and, uh, it's really very good.
It's got a lot of that stuff in it.
- Oh, it was the last file! - Mm-hmm.
I couldn't find anything else!
- Well, I found something. - You did? What?
Yeah, well, there's a whole subdirectory
on Lois Lane's C drive about Superman.
Unfortunately, most of it's just worthless
worthless, worthless.
Except for this.
Now, it seems about two months ago
our friend Superman was rendered temporarily..
...what's this word?
Uh, "Inflicted with occipital opacity."
- What does that mean? - Couldn't see.
Couldn't see?
Couldn't see!
He couldn't see because of a special light beam
developed by a certain Dr. Farraday.
And, ha ha!
She's got all the unprintable details about it right in here.
All we have to do is make the light beams shorter.
(Lois) Jimmy, I don't want to talk about it.
I told you, I didn't know
the guys were coming by, alright?
They live with their parents.
They have no place else to kick it.
Did they have to kick it at your place
until 3:00 in the morning?
Lois, I tried to keep it down.
Honestly, alright?
They're kids.
Where did you go when you left?
I had to use the phone.
I have a phone.
[chuckles] Wait a minute.
Um, are you the neighbor who called the cops on us?
Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's funny.
[laughing] Oh, yeah.
What in Sam Hill is this?
Lois, have you seen today's edition?
Not yet, chief, why?
Look what that idiot Griffin's done to my masthead.
He somehow broke into the computerized typesetter.
You got any, uh, leads on this guy?
I mean, he's made us look like a laughing stock.
No, not yet.
Clark's down at the police station
trying to get a lead.
Alright, stay on it.
Lois Lane.
(woman on phone) 'Yes, this is Helen Bartlett'
'from the White House.'
Hi.
'Ms. Lane, we've set up a pressroom in the penthouse'
'at the Lakeside Towers.'
'Can you come over now so we can discuss protocol?'
Yes, I'll be right there.
Alright, Ms. Lane, we'll be expecting you.
Good day.
[chuckling] She's on her way.
Oh, this is so cool!
Whoo!
It smells great.
Specialty of the house.
Oh, those teeth!
An ode to your teeth.
They're so perfect and shiny, I love you so much.
I wish you were miney.
(Victor) 'Hey, I had a second verse!'
'Aah!'
Jimmy, how is your houseguest?
[sighs] Hear she called the cops on me?
What? Why?
Well, I had a few friends over.
She thought we were too loud.
A monk would be too loud for Lois.
You know what?
I know, uh, you two kind of have
this thing going on together
but let me tell you something, alright?
You do not know the real Lois Lane.
I've been trying to think of a way to get
back at her all day long.
Hold on, Jimmy.
She has been under a lot of stress lately.
Oh, she's going to find out
what real stress is all about.
Jimmy!
- Clark Kent. - Hi, Clark.
This is the Prankster.
What do you want?
Well, do I sense some hostility?
Some? Let's just say that everyone's
getting a little sick of your games.
(Griffin) Not everyone.
As a matter of fact
Victor and I and Lois are just sitting down
for a little three-handed pinochle.
'She and I have become inseparable.'
'And if you can get a message to Superman'
tell him we're in the penthouse
of the Lakeside Towers. Bye-bye.
This is such a nice place.
We live in such a dump.
Kyle, why can't we live in a nice place like this?
We will, Victor, soon.
Hi, Supie, glad you could join us.
Care for some pinochle?
You're finished, Griffin.
Gosh, I hope not, 'cause I'm at the pinnacle
of my pinochle.
Come on, supester! Join me for just one hand.
All work and no play makes Superman
a very dull boy.
You'll find out..
...how dull life can be
when you're back in a maximum-security prison
for the rest of your life.
Okay. Have it your way.
When are you gonna realize that weapon doesn't work on me?
Correction, it didn't work
'but I've made a few improvements in the new model.'
It worked!
'Course it worked! I designed it, didn't I?
He's not so tough.
Come on, Superman, show me what you got.
Oh, this is a Kodak moment.
I predict Victor will be the victor!
Aah!
Ow!
(Victor) 'Ow! Ow! Ow!'
Ow!
Oh, my God!
Yeah, it's kind of a pretty picture, isn't it?
Huh? Your little boyfriend
'frozen just as stiff as a fish stick.'
You know what the problem is with being the man of steel?
Steel don't bounce.
How could you do that?
Kinda like this.
Hey, supe.
He caught her! Ha ha!
Aah! Darn! He caught her!
It's a bad thing!
Are you alright?
Ah! You seem to ask me that a lot lately.
People seem to try to kill you a lot.
Yeah. I was so popular in high school.
If you'll excuse me.
Oh, Superman, there's nothing you can do.
If he froze you once, he'll do it again.
Look, Clark and I think we found
a way of neutralizing Griffin.
Professor Hamilton is working on it right now.
So...I guess this time..
...you'll just have to rely on us.
See, I don't think you're getting the point.
Would you try it again, Thomson? I still can't hear you.
The Prankster has found a way of stopping Superman.
No, I'm not reading you.
So I, I think that, as much as this pains me to say
I, I think the President
should consider postponing his visit.
Yeah, you know, Thomson, I think
I found the problem here.
If you would just have general services
send up a box of those cotton swabs, that ought to do it.
(Thomson) 'What? I can't hear you, say that again.'
Are you hearing anything I'm saying?
I'm hearing you, now you hear me.
All systems are go.
My men are trained for any eventuality.
I heard from Bobby Bigmouth.
What did he want? Seconds?
[chuckles] Said he had an address on the Prankster.
It's the apartment he grew up in but I checked it out.
Now it's just an old, condemned building.
Hmm.
Either Griffin's a very concerned voter
for the President's in trouble.
Clark, look.
It's a map of today's motorcade.
(Clark) 'I guess we could notify Kerrigan.'
(Lois) 'What for?'
He and his men are trained
for any eventuality, remember?
You try and find Superman.
Have him meet me at Professor Hamilton's
as soon as possible.
Uh, sure, okay.
Since you told me the light he used was yellow
I ground and tinted the lenses so that the yellow light
instead of going to the motor cortex
will be diverted to the eye's inner and outer canthus.
What's that?
It's right in back of the canal of schlemm.
Do you really want to know?
All I want to know is, will they work?
Not knowing the exact frequency of the light
I can't really promise.
Victor, you're on.
Roger that.
Hey!
You! Get that thing out of here!
- I'm tryin'. - We have a situation here.
Some idiot just parked a truck
in the middle of the street.
You're in big trouble, pal, now move it!
We'll see.
It's now or never, son.
Kerrigan, look out! It's a trap!
Well, well, who looks like the idiot now?
Come on! We got a President to kidnap!
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Oh, yeah! There she is!
Lois Lane..
...just as frozen as she could be.
Too bad she's not awake..
...to see my greatest triumph.
Well, maybe we could take her with us
and I could explain it to her later?
Victor, you did good this time
so I'm gonna let you have her.
I'm gonna let you have her.
Oh, thank you so mu..
Business before pleasure.
And that's a lovely face.
Now, look, here's what I'd like you to do.
Whee!
Just help me carry the President to the van.
- Huh! - Huh!
- Superman! - Superman!
Yes, I am!
Sorry to ruin, your plans, Griffin
but the President is safely tucked away
just like you're gonna be.
But...how?
Look deep into my eyes.
Contacts.
I'm sorry, but that is really not fair.
- Neither is this. - Uh!
Just thought one good prank deserved another.
Ugh!
My contacts.
You knocked out my..
I think turnabout's fair play.
Oh, come on, he deserved that.
I should have had a daughter!
(man on radio) 'This is unit 15.'
- Huh? - 'Sector seven is secure.'
- Wha-- - 'I repeat.'
'Sector seven is secure.'
I don't want to tell you your job, sir
'but if I were you, I would take this man into custody.'
I knew that.
'Come on, move it.'
Ow! He's hitting me!
(Victor) 'Do I have the right to hit him back?'
Lois, you better get going.
You don't want to be late for your
meeting with the President.
That's right, my big moment.
I still have no idea what I'm gonna ask him.
What one question would you ask the President?
I guess I'd ask him why he wouldn't give
a great reporter like Lois Lane
more than a five-minute interview.
(Clark) 'I got to hand it to you, Lois.'
This is one terrific interview.
You really pulled it off.
Take a lesson, boys, this is the mark
of a seasoned reporter.
Someone who can get her subject
to open up and talk freely.
That one question you were sweating about
must have really broken the ice.
So what was it?
Uh, well, I just asked him..
...if he was a professional baseball player
what position would he play and why?
That's a great question!
That's first-rate!
This girl thinks on her feet.
Um, Jimmy, I just want to say thank you
and also apologize.
You really helped me out a lot
by letting me stay at your place
and I know I wasn't very grateful.
I've just been under a lot of pressure.
Anyway...I'm sorry.
Hey, it was no sweat.
(Jimmy) 'You know something, C.K?'
'She's a class act.'
I've always thought so.
I can't believe I was thinking
about getting revenge.
Uh-oh. Lois, don't open..
...that.
Oh, I think I'm about to use one of my sick days.
(Jimmy) 'Hold the elevator!'
