The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e14 Episode Script
Yellow Peri's Spell of Doom
Loretta, some of
your friends stopped by.
They need two OJ's
and a ginger ale.
Got it.
Clark, did
you bring it?
Oh yeah, I got
it right here.
Gosh.
It's really special,
you know?
Um, look he signed it
right there.
"To Loretta, for
a super gal.
From Superboy."
Um, gosh, thanks,
thanks.
I mean, I told him
what a big fan you are,
and it was
really no big--
Oh, Clark.
No, I got it,
it's okay.
You know, Clark,
I've been asking you
for two weeks to set up
a meeting with me and Superboy,
talk about some
of my ideas,
and, uh, what do I get,
a big fat goose egg?
You talkin' about those
stupid masks?
-Stupid masks?
-Yeah.
We're talkin' about
most possibly
the best selling item
this coming up Halloween,
and you say
"stupid masks"?
Stupid?
Yeah, read my lips,
stupid, stupid, stupid.
Um, uh, I'm kind
of busy tonight.
We're down a bartender,
so I gotta get back.
Thanks a-a lot,
Clark.
It's no
big deal.
"Hey, thanks
a lot, Clark."
She wants you.
She needs you,
man.
Andy, stop it.
Come on, guys.
Take her,
you viking!
"The body vessel must
be facing the flame of life."
[Chanting in
foreign language]
Oh great spirit
of Gazook,
I call
you now.
Come forth and show me
so I may bow.
Give me powers,
don't let them lag.
Please come alive
in this doll of rag.
Come forth,
o great spirit of Gazook.
Come forth
and guide me.
Nothing.
Should have known.
Did someone
call me, huh?
Did someone summon
the Great Gazook
from the dark
past?
Yes, I did.
Well, chickie,
you got me.
I live in the body
of this doll.
I am the Great
Gazook.
I know what you want,
Loretta.
Yes.
You want the love
of a man, don't you?
Yes.
But not just any man
will do, huh, bubbie?
You want the love
of the man they call
Superboy.
This is the one
you love.
Yes, he's
the one.
You must
be transformed.
You must be beautiful,
a knockout.
Look at you,
an ancient genie,
a peri,
beautiful golden hair.
I'll call you
the Yellow Peri now.
Together you and I
will perform
the most powerful magic,
in the world, Yellow Peri,
and we shall cast a love spell
on this Superboy!
Huh, what do you think,
do I look like the Boy of Steel?
Ah, just got these back
from the fabricators today.
I knew they would
be great.
I think definitely the future
for these is in cereal.
You know, we could
flatten 'em out
and stick 'em in the boxes,
whatever.
I was thinking maybe
you could talk to superboy,
you know.
Andy, I'll mention to Superboy
the next time I see him,
butDon't
hold your breath.
Clark, you know how many times
you told me
not to hold
my breath?
Twenty-seven.
Are you sure this
is gonna work?
Do your magic,
Yellow Peri,
and Superboy
will come,
and he will fall in love
with you
when he sets his
eyes on you.
Hey, guys.
Hi, Lana.
Hey, baby.
Superboy, could I have
your autograph?
Yeah, sure.
Excuse me.
I've been
watching you.
I think
you're beautiful.
I didn't think
you noticed.
How could I not notice
a woman as beautiful as you?
Oh, Superboy.
Ha, look at him,
signing autographs.
He saw you,
he didn't even notice you.
Superboy!
Our love spell
should have worked.
It's her,
it's her!
Don't you know,
chickie?
You don't know how glad
I am to see you.
I'm just glad
I could be of help.
Well, you always show up
when you're needed.
Well, so far.
Only the true love of another
can break the spell.
What can I do,
Gazook?
Do?
You're a genie,
get rid of her.
It's the only
way.
How?
Simple.
Kill her!
Come on, Clark,
lift it!
Lift it,
you can do it, man,
you're an animal,
you're a maniac,
just lift it
just once!
Come on!
Andy, I think it's still
too heavy.
Clark, I've taken off
all the weights.
Hey, guys.
How's it going,
Clark?
Uh, you wanna
work out?
Not with you.
She's just
kidding.
I'll be
right there.
I'm gonna go slip into something
more comfortable.
Look, Andy,
I did it, come see!
Look, look!
Andy.
Don't I know
you?
I have
to go.
Hey,
Yellow Peri!
Gazook?
Help me.
It's about time
you came back.
I've had dirty, wet towels
thrown on me.
She finally
came out.
Perfect, perfect.
Don't back out,
Yellow Peri.
Don't be weak.
I know.
We must
do it.
That is right,
no one understands you
like I do.
I know what
you feel.
Yes.
And with my magic
I know just what to do.
Ah, go forth,
my child,
make me proud.
Don't even think
about it.
Ah, come on,
why not?
We can divide it,
50/50.
I'll stay on
my side.
Andy.
Powers that be,
I want some trouble.
Put the pretty one
in a sealed tight bubble.
What is
this?
Get me out
of here!
Andy!
Somebody
I can't breathe.
Lana, hold on!
We must get
out of here.
You must plan
for tonight.
Superboy will be grieving
when he finds out
his love
has died.
Your new boyfriend will need
your shoulder to cry on.
SomebodySomebody
call somebody.
Lana, hold on!
I can't breathe.
Somebody--somebody
call somebody.
Lana, hold on!
Lana!
Lana, hold on.
Lana, hold on.
Somebody, somebody
call somebody.
Lana, hold on.
Andy, step aside.
Is she gonna
be okay?
What happened?
That's what I'd like
to find out.
You look particularly
lovely tonight, my toots.
Do I?
You really think
I look good?
Good?
You look
scrumptious.
I do look good,
don't I?
I really am
pretty.
Yes, my dear.
And everyone will know,
and Superboy
will need your shoulder
to cry on
now that his friend Lana Lang
bought the big farm.
Whooee, a one-eyed
sea monster.
In a bizarre incident
at Schuster University
this afternoon,
Superboy reportedly saved--
This is horrible!
I can't
stand this!
--We have a news team
heading to the location.
We'll have a live report
later in this newscast.
How does
he do it?
Superboy, he's
always there!
And now that girl
is still in his heart.
If you can't have Superboy,
nobody can have him!
Do you understand,
Yellow Peri?
Nobody!
You're right,
Gazook,
and nobody will
have him.
Not after I do what
I have planned.
Yes, let's do it,
let's do it.
It'll be fun,
it'll be fun!
I am the Yellow Peri,
no man rejects me,
not even
Superboy.
Superboy must pay,
pay for passing up your charm,
your beauty.
The man you love
causes you disgrace,
do it all and take away
his face!
Yes, do it,
do it.
Cut, cut,
cut, cut, cut!
[Chanting in
foreign language]
You'll have no face,
this is true.
Oh, my God.
All right, great,
so I'll definitely give you
a call about that braille
and poetry seminar.
Yeah, okay, great.
What a body!
Hey, Clark.
I knew you
liked that mask.
Great.
Uh, yeah.
Um, I thought that since
I told Superboy about it
that I should try
one on myself
and see what
I thought.
Huh, phenomenal.
Yeah, you know there's
a finder's fee for you in this.
Ha.
Pretty scary what happened
to Lana today, huh?
Oh, you know
what else?
I think I saw Loretta
at the gym.
At least, it sounded
like her.
Loretta?
Yeah, except for she
lookedGood.
She looked pretty,
you know?
And she was
wearing this like
strange Arabian
workout uniform.
You know what
else was strange?
She was in
a real hurry.
She left during
the commotion.
Oh, I just remembered,
I was supposed to meet
with Superboy tonight.
I was wondering,
Andy, would you mind
if I wore one
of your masks tonight
and kind of
show him?
Oh, wow, that would
be great.
Do I mind, no,
that would be phenomenal.
You know, Clark,
I'm really glad
that you're so enthused
about this.
I'll, uh, give you a call
and let you know how it goes.
All right, great,
man, cool.
Great kid.
Loretta.
So it was you
at the gym today.
I am
the Yellow Peri.
Loretta is gone.
Why are you doing
these things?
And why did you do this
to me?
I loved you,
but you refuse
to love the great
Yellow Peri.
So you took
my face away?
Oh, I will give you
your face back.
But now you
must kiss me.
You must
want me.
We can always
be together.
Now I'm pretty,
aren't I?
Now you want me,
don't you?
Loretta, let me
help you.
No!
You're not Loretta,
you're Yellow Peri now.
Don't listen to him,
he tells lies.
It talks.
What is that
thing?
It's not a thing,
that's Gazook.
He lives
in my doll.
He's my only
true friend.
You have
other friends.
Friends?
You hear this,
Yellow Peri?
Hear how he
mocks us?
Yes, yes,
he does.
Can't you see what
he's done to you?
Can't you see how
he's changing you?
He's not your
friend as I am.
It's not a friend you need,
it's a lover, kill him,
kill her boy.
If I cannot have you, Superboy,
no one else ever will.
I will destroy you as only
my powerful magic can.
No.
I've given you every chance,
you've had your turn.
Now it's time for
you to burn.
Burn, nice boy, burn,
burn, go to ashes!
Ah, look at
the boy burning!
I'll get you.
Your powers don't cut it
with me, Superboy.
I'm magic.
Only magic can hurt me like
it's hurting you.
If I use your magic
heat on you.
Ow, ow,
I feel the heat.
Ah, ah!
It's your magic,
Gazook.
No, Gazook,
don't leave me!
Burning, ah!
Oo, ah!
That's what
I was counting on.
No one will
ever love me.
Loretta, there are better ways
to find love
that have nothing
to do with magic.
Maybe you didn't plan
on hurting anyone,
but you're still gonna
have to answer--
come back to life,
doll of rag,
don't let me alone
to die an old hag.
Loretta
How can I go,
Boy of Steel?
Without Gazook nothing else
seems real.
Loretta, I know a place
where there are people
that can
help you.
Some day the right man will
sweep me off my feet.
Some day true love will make
my life complete.
Some day, Loretta,
some day.
