My Adventures with Superman (2023) s03e02 Episode Script

1
Pay attention, motorist!
Look both ways before crossing a street.
Whoa!
These, do not belong to you!
- Heh?
- No.
It's time to let these people go.
Guys I don't think
Let's get out of here!
Oh, that's uh
one way to do it.
Good job, Kara.
Whoo!
Look around, kids.
Soon, this Superfest will be alive!
With the kind of Super energy
only Super-fans can provide.
Oh! I am also excited.
I am ready to astonish the public
with my feats of strength!
And, I will also encourage
people to call me
Power Woman!
Good luck with that.
How will you spend the day, Kal-El?
Well, after I introduce you
to your public,
I'm going to enjoy the con,
as mild-mannered attendee, Clark Kent.
Kara, may I have that small box, please?
Oh, it is my pleasure, Jimmy Flamebird.
And, I'm gonna make sure we all
stay connected
with these.
Flamebird watches?
Custom bird watches
that let us radio Superman
for help anytime, anywhere.
Jimmy, are these really necessary?
My dear Lois,
when have we been to a gala,
an event, or conference
that didn't get attacked
by super-villains?
They're definitely necessary.
Oh I am most thankful
for this token of your affection, Jimmy.
Oh, no, no.
These are for all my
closest, yet platonic friends!
Hey! You have a real shot
with Kara
and you are blowing it!
Lois, I will call Clark.
I get it, she's Supergirl and you're
- well.
- Thanks.
But she cares about you
and you're going to hurt her.
Listen, I'm not gonna trap Kara
in a relationship with me
when we both know it won't last.
Nobody knows that!
Kara spent her whole life in a cage,
she deserves a real shot
at what the world has to offer.
To find out what makes her happy.
And what if that's you, Jimmy.
Look, I have this under control.
No one's feelings will be hurt.
No relationships will be complicated.
Everything is fine the way it is.
- But Jimmy
- Hey, look! We're here.
Oh, gosh, he just
never listens to me, but okay.
"Flamebird presents,
Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen "?
Yep! Action-packed comics
inspired by true events.
The Birdwatchers will love 'em.
Uh, a lot of creative license here, Jimmy.
That's what sells, Clark.
As you know, I have grown accustomed
to a certain lifestyle,
and this is gonna put me back on top!
There's always money in comics!
Today's gonna be great!
Jimmy, I'm the villain!
Why am I the villain in this comic?
And what's with the teeth?
It's just marketing, Lois.
Everybody likes a enemies-to-lovers story.
And our metrics show that
Superman's girl-frenemy:
Lois Lane will be a surefire hit!
I shouldn't even be here today.
Why do I have to write
a puff piece on Superfest
when there are real stories to tackle?
Nonsense, Lois Lane.
Cat Grant, Daily Planet.
- We know who you are.
- We work with you, Cat.
Oh, darling.
I begged Perry to assign you
this convention beat.
What? Why?
The name "Lois Lane" means something.
My dear, no one knows Superman
like you do.
You'll find a story,
just like you always do.
Well, let's see what's out here.
That could be a story.
Come on, Clark.
Aw, Lois.
Look at this tractor.
It's just like the one on the farm.
Ha, that's great, Clark,
but we don't have time
for miniatures, right now.
My story's getting away.
You mean that kindly old man
in the cabbie hat?
"Kindly old man"?
Do you have any idea who that is?
I dunno. Oh!
That's Winslow Schott.
A.K.A. The guy
who tried to murder me
and my dad with an explosive teddy bear!
An explosive teddy bear, Clark!
He may look like an ordinary toy merchant
but he's up to something.
And I'm sure you'll figure it out, uh,
in the meantime, I have to go
introduce the guest of honor.
Just don't do anything too, uh,
extreme, Lois.
Me?
Love your look, bro.
Hey say, "Cheese."
Cheese?
I can arrange these
illustrated documents for you, Jimmy.
Uh, no, thanks.
I'm I'm good.
Then, teach me how to operate
the Earth currency dispenser?
I can cover that, Kara.
Then, I will
acquire hot dogs.
Uh
Jimmy. Supergirl.
You two sure do spend
a lot of time together.
Care to comment, lovebirds?
We're not lovebirds.
We're not any kind of birds.
Maybe Flamebirds.
Know what, Kara? Let's do
a couple, uh
Two, single hot dogs.
Of course.
I know what you're thinking, Cat.
But you are wrong.
We're just two, single hot dogs.
Look, Jimmy Flamebird.
I brought our favorite characters from
Challengers of the Unknown.
Just like our couples' costume.
Do you remember?
From Halloween?
I do.
- Uh?
- Huh?
Nothing between you two, huh?
Jimmy, may I speak with you, candidly?
Sure. Absolutely.
You may not have noticed, but
I feel romantic affection for you.
I want you to be my mate.
Uh, the way Kal-El and Lois are mates.
Kara, I care about you too.
But there's a whole world out there.
Clark. Kal-El,
had a chance to see that world
before becoming Lois' uh, mate.
And you haven't.
I do not understand, Jimmy.
What if there's something,
someone, better for you?
Someone who could make you happier.
This is such an important
decision about your future.
Are you sure you've seen enough
to make it?
Are you
Are you saying that
All attendees.
The "Supergirl panel palooza"
is about to begin in Hall S.
All right, Guest of Honor.
Ready for your big debut?
Go, get 'em Pal.
All right, remember, we do this
quick, easy and quiet.
Nyet, boys.
Let us have some fun.
What are you doing?
I said "quiet".
The last thing we need
is fight with Superman.
To fight with Superman
is exactly what I want.
If you want to be highest paid
muscle in Metropolis,
and I do,
you must prove you can party
with Man of Steel.
It is my pleasure to introduce
your guest of honor,
and my cousin, Kara Zor-El,
Supergirl of Metropolis!
Supergirl!
- Yay! We love you.
- Whoo!
All right, Birdwatchers,
time for the main event.
Whoop, sorry to duck out, folks.
But, uh, duty calls.
What a "super" guy, right?
And how lucky are we
to have you here, Supergirl?
I'm sure our adoring audience
has questions for you, too.
So, for the first question, let's go to
Me, Cat Grant.
Tell me, darling, what's your sign?
I'm told it is your letter "S".
Delightful!
Next question
Let's go to
Oh, back to me.
What's your secret to such
luminous, dewy skin?
I wash it.
Oh, you scamp!
To be youthful and carefree!
Guys, didn't we already do this today?
Huh?
What in the wor
What's happening?
They call me the Whip!
Is about time you showed up, handsome!
Miss, I don't want to hurt you
Ooh, but I would like you to try.
You brought kryptonite
to A bank robbery?
Always bring best candy
to party, my little umbrella.
Especially party with strong,
American man.
Besides, kryptonite is easy to get now.
Robots leave it all over city.
And I am oh-so-happy to share.
Hi there, Win.
Invent any dangerous, new
novelty weapons lately?
You know, anything that might
detonate or explode?
I'm sorry, Miss,
but do do I know you?
Are you kidding me?
You tried to kill me!
Oh! Yes. Sam Lane's girl.
If you don't mind,
please lower your voice.
Your family already destroyed my life
I destroyed your life?
I'm just a normal toy merchant
running a normal business.
You sure about that?
Now, can you please just leave me in peace
To share the joy of toys
with others?
No.
Supergirl, you are incredibly charming
Thank you.
but let's face the elephant
in the room.
May I pet the elephant?
Metropolis doesn't really need
two superheroes, does it?
I
I do not know.
I mean, there must be something
unique about you,
something Superman doesn't have?
I
What exactly do you bring
to the table, Supergirl?
I I think
That person has something to say.
You, with the hand. Speak.
Um. Supergirl's special
because she's brave.
You are a warrior.
I like how Superman protects us,
But I love how you fight for us.
I I wish I was
as brave as you.
Aw. Adorable. And what's
your name, mousy girl?
I'm Jessica. Jessica Cruz.
Thank you, Jessica.
Brilliant! So
What's next for Earth's one
and only "Warrior Supergirl"?
I need to make an important
decision about my future.
So I invite any and all
eligible Earthling suitors
to meet me at my booth
after the interview.
What?
What?
Ahh, Superman!
You are oh so cute when you suffer.
What's your plan here?
I have great plan.
First, ruin your day,
then become highest paid muscle
in town. Just like you!
I don't get paid for this!
You do this for free?
That is just sad, honey.
Never give away what people
will happily pay for.
Huh?
Not interested
in your career advice!
Too bad that I am interested in you!
Hi, Supergirl.
Could I get your autograph?
- It's for my boyfriend.
- Of course.
You look like my friend Jimmy,
but stronger.
Get away from her, Muscle Jimmy.
I knew she'd find someone better.
I didn't know she'd do it today!
Ugh, this is a disaster.
No. This is.
Who drew this, James?
I never appreciate a slender frame.
Why are you even here, Lex?
You know, I'm so glad you asked.
Like you, James,
I am an entrepreneur on a mission.
Always on the lookout
for innovative opportunities
And I have found an exceptional one.
Stop by the presentation today.
You'll love what we have to offer.
I I'm telling you
that I am reformed.
And I'm telling you
that I don't believe you.
I do this for a living, you know
Making a mess?
Finding the truth.
Ms. Lane, can we not do this?
You're frightening the customers.
Wait! I knew
you were hiding something!
- Hey, that's mine!
- Get down! Everyone!
This bear is filled with
dangerous, explosive
fluff?
What kind of monster are you?
Oh, no!
I am Villian Lois.
I will always pick you
Oh This is perfectly
symmetrical! I love it.
A force field!
But how will you escape?
Wow! Interesting.
He's capturing her heart
inside his invisible prison!
Cut it out, Jimmy!
You need to stop being
Pining for the one who got away?
Stop doing that, Cat!
Jimmy Olsen, how do you feel
about Supergirl's many new admirers?
Will you fight for her affections?
Is your heart heavy with regret?
I told you, Cat.
Kara's Supergirl.
And I'm
Just Superman's pal.
Your low income is real turnoff, Superman!
I am not discussing my personal finances
with a super-villain!
Oh, too bad.
I enjoy to get personal.
But now I finish you.
Nyet!
The party's over.
But why leave when fun is just
beginning, Superman?
Uh, no thanks.
That was more than enough.
Have a nice day.
I love him.
Whoa, Clark. Are you okay?
Uh, being Superman is
It's harder than it, than it used to be.
It's much It's much harder.
Well, if it's any consolation,
they love you in here.
I guess that's uh
I said I was sorry!
What more do you want me to do?
You ruined my daughter's bear!
Excuse me, Jimmy.
I'll be right back.
Here you go.
Oh
Please allow me to pay for that
and the damaged one, too.
This should uh, cover it.
Why, thank you.
Ooh, and I'd love one of these for myself.
Ooh, and this, too, please.
And we are so sorry, right?
Look, Winslow, I'm sorry
sorry I didn't realize
you were just an unremarkable,
old tinkerer.
- Uh, Lois?
- I overestimated you.
There's no way a harmless
little toy-man like yourself
could make bear bombs
or invent incredible weapons
no one has ever dreamed of.
I was so caught up in our past
and getting a story
that I failed to see
how you could never be
a threat to anyone
ever!
Oh. That's it!
How's this for a threat?!
Who's the Toyman now, Lois Lane?
Ah-ha! I knew it!
Uh. Really wish you didn't.
Ah!
I can't believe I do this for free
What?
Friends!
You've gathered here today
to celebrate heroes.
As you should!
We have a homegrown
American hero right here,
Captain Hank Henshaw!
Captain Henshaw was shot down
defending Metropolis during
last year's alien invasion.
But my human ingenuity and his iron will
brought him back stronger than ever.
With Captain Hank Henshaw on our side,
we don't need to rely on
the mercy of violent aliens
to keep us safe.
We have the power.
Need a blurb for The Planet,
Ms. Lane?
Why, Hank? What is this about?
It's about taking back
humanity's future, Lois.
Kal-el, is Lex afraid of us
because I have been
- bad?
- No.
They were afraid of me when I arrived too.
But things change.
If we keep doing what's right,
it'll work out.
What I want to know is how did
Lex get Hank Henshaw
to be his own personal Superman?
I mean, if it gets ugly,
there's always real Superman
and Supergirl to stop him, right?
How do you feel, Hank?
Today went even better than planned.
Who knew that washed-up Winslow
would give us the perfect
chance to show off your skills?
We're another step closer
to winning the hearts and minds
of Metropolis, Hank.
And one step closer to saving
the world from Superman.
