Lois: What is your grudge against Superman?

Leslie Willis: Three things. First, he's never around when you need him (cut to Superman rescuing a falling construction worker) Second, everything's so easy for him. (cut to Superman straining to lift a falling weight) And third, all he cares about is himself. (Cut to Superman saving the construction worker, a baby, and its mother from the falling weight). I think that about covers it.

Leslie Willis (to Superman): This is my circus; I tell these clowns what to do; not the cops, and not some pumped-up freak of nature in a cape!

Dr. Hamilton: I think it might do Titano a world of good for you to take up your old relationship with him.

Lois: Oh, no no no. I have a busy schedule, a small apartment...

Camera shifts to Clark and Dr. Hamilton's faces, and then to Titano wrecking Lois' apartment

Jimmy (dodging the things Titano is throwing): Lois, you gotta come back here, right now!

Lois (on phone in a massage parlor): Jimmy, I haven't been gone ten minutes. Just throw him a banana or something.

Jimmy (nervously): I don't think that's gonna be enough.

Jimmy (seeing Titano grow almost too big for the apartment): That's it; I'm out of here!

He runs onto the roof, slips on a banana peel and falls downward. A minute later, Superman flies into view, carrying Jimmy.

Jimmy: Superman! Hey, you're not gonna believe this —

Superman: Let me guess. Titano's a growing boy.

The two survey the chaos. The doorknob rattles.

Lois: All right, Jimmy, what's all the fuss about — aaaaahhh!

—"Monkey Fun"

Dr. Fate (after his wife gives Superman something that will enable him to go back): You've sent him to his doom.

Inara: What do you care?

Superman: What made you change your mind [about helping him]?

Dr. Fate: You.

Superman: Something I said?

Dr. Fate: Something you did. You went back. You didn't stand a chance and you went back. Till now I thought it was only the forces of evil that wouldn't give up. I was wrong.
