Selena:
I'm considering nothing less than world domination.
Selena:
Such a pretty world. I can't wait until it's all mine.
Nigel:
Oh, terrific. The old dangling-in-a-cage routine. Pathetic, Selena.
Lucy Lane:
All you need is a couple of streaks and your ears pierced. I could do it for you, it's easy. You just get a needle, heat it up, dab it with some alcohol, and zap! The guys go crazy!
Linda Lee:
My ears what?
Lucy Lane:
Pierced. Like and you know, I take a needle, and then I heat it up, dab it with some alcohol and, zap, all the guys go crazy.
Linda Lee:
Because I have holes in my ears?
Lucy Lane:
What, are you putting me on? Sometimes I can't figure you out, Linda.
Selena:
Get out of my house, Nigel, and don't come slithering back.
Nigel:
Listen, Selena, I'm the only one who can save you from yourself. You *need* me.
Selena:
Like an Eskimo needs a lawnmower, kiddo.
Nigel:
I'm warning you, Selena. Don't be so shortsighted.
Ethan:
You just flew over my head, true or false?
Supergirl:
True.
Ethan:
Like Superman.
Supergirl:
He's my cousin.
Bianca:
I'm really gonna have to kill someone down at the D.W.P. I figured the only way we're gonna pay the bills next month in this dump, is to just go ahead and start our own coven.
Selena:
The world is at last my oyster.
Bianca:
Would you mind letting Bianca in on this, you know, unexpected bit of good luck? Or whatever it is?
Selena:
Bad luck. I have been chosen. The powers of darkness I think may, at long last, have come to their senses.
Supergirl:
I've come here to search for the Omegahedron. A power source vital to Argo City. You see, that's where I live.
Nigel:
I have a secret, Selena.
Selena:
How exciting for you, Nigel. Best write it down before you forget it.
Nigel:
After you left me there in the lurch, I saw something that should worry you greatly if you're serious about over the planet. My secret was blue and red, and it knew how to fly.
Selena:
I have a secret, too, Nigel. I have the power. Now, get that through your head. Selena is through worrying. The shoe is on the other foot and it's their turn to worry, all those who mocked me when my chips were down.
Nigel:
Oh, I bet they're really in for it now, eh?
Selena:
Count on it.
Lucy Lane:
Look at that dingleberry.
Linda Lee:
What's a dingleberry?
Selena:
Every time! Every time! Send a man to do a woman's job, and that's what you get. Damn her eyes. Who is she?
Bianca:
Are you asking me?
Selena:
I'm telling you - Find out.
Bianca:
Well, sure but, you know, I think I recognize the costume.
Mr. Danvers:
Lucy Lee, this is Linda Lane.
Lucy Lane:
No, it isn't. She's Linda Lee, and I'm...
Linda Lee:
Lucy Lane.
Mr. Danvers:
You two know each other?
Linda Lee:
Oh, no, we just met.
Mr. Danvers:
Really? When?
Lucy Lane:
Just now. Though we've known each other for years, haven't we, Linda?
Linda Lee:
Oh, gee, I don't think that.
Supergirl:
You have no friends, Selena. You treat everyone as if they were put on this Earth to serve you.
Selena:
More or less, I think they were. You included.
Supergirl:
You've had your fun, Selena. The game is finished.
Selena:
Hardly. One false step, bluebird, and even if you don't, your friends will get the point.
[
Selena lowers three cages over hot spikes coming out of floor]
Jimmy Olsen:
Hey, no!
Lucy Lane:
I don't like this.
Jimmy Olsen:
Don't worry, Lucy. Don't worry.
Supergirl:
I wouldn't, if I were you.
Selena:
Well, your not me.
Selena:
Goodbye Nigel.
Bianca:
It was nice talking to you, Nigel.
Selena:
No, it wasn't.
Nigel:
You girls are rank amateurs playing with fire.
Selena:
Because we own the matches.
Nigel:
I want to make a very serious proposal.
Selena:
In that outfit?
Bianca:
You okay?
Selena:
No.
Bianca:
You want a hacksaw or something?
Selena:
Nigel, you are wonderful. Pure genius. You deserve... me. And something else.
[
Selena turns him into a ragged man]
Selena:
Now let's get out of this dump.
Selena:
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.
[
kicks Nigel]
Ethan:
So, uh, where's the lawn at?
Selena:
It dropped dead.
Ethan:
What's with the Halloween costume?
Supergirl:
This is not a costume. These are my clothes.
Bianca:
I think you're blowing this thing out of proportion if you want my opinion.
Selena:
No, this box is definitely getting bigger... And uglier.
Bianca:
All I'm saying is, you can't go nuts over a landscape guy and a teenager in a blue suit.
Selena:
She flies. Can you get that through your thick skull and into your tiny little brain, Bianca? The girl can fly.
Supergirl:
I can't. I can't
Zaltar:
You can. On, girl.
Supergirl:
Who are you?
Selena:
I am Selena, Diodenes of Catania, Priestess of Sekhnet. I am the Ultimate Siren of Endor. And you, little lady, are trespassing on private property.
Selena:
[
points at Ethan] She means him.
Supergirl:
I am Kara of Argo City, daughter of Alura and Zor-El, and I don't scare easily.
Bianca:
My dear Nigel, the way to a woman's heart is through the elimination of her rivals.
Lucy Lane:
So who's your cousin?
Linda Lee:
Clark Kent.
Lucy Lane:
Your kidding me. Clark Kent's your cousin? Your putting me on.
Linda Lee:
Do you know him?
Lucy Lane:
Do I know him? Does my sister know him? Now, that's the big question.
Nigel:
What's going on? Hey, what's going on?
Selena:
I've just outgrown you, Nigel. These things happen!
Nigel:
You can't treat me like this, Selena. Without me, you'd still be reading tea leaves at Lake Tahoe.
Supergirl:
The Omegahedron, Selena. I want it.
Selena:
Well, then, Supergirl, you shall have it.
Selena:
Don't call me "your sweetness." I am not sweet. I am Selena. And I am a bitter, bitter pill to swallow.
Selena:
[
about who has greater powers] I can make the sky rain coconuts with pinpoint accuracy, but I still can't control men's minds. Not with her around.
Kara:
[
about Zaltar's creative illusion] Oh, it is beautiful. What's that gonna be Zaltar?
Zaltar:
I think, a tree.
Kara:
A tree. What is a tree?
Zaltar:
A lovely thing which grows on Earth.
Kara:
Earth? You mean where my cousin went?
Zaltar:
And to where one day soon perhaps I might venture as well.
Kara:
I don't believe you. How?
Zaltar:
In that.
[
points to a transportation device]
Zaltar:
Through there.
[
points to the Binary Chute]
Kara:
The Binary Chute? But you could never survive the pressure. It would destroy you...
Zaltar:
[
interrupting] That I can, zip zap, and I'm gone.
Kara:
But you'd never leave us, Zaltar. You'd never leave Argo City.
Zaltar:
Indeed I might, Kara. Too much of a good thing here. Perhaps I'll try Saturn instead. Yes, I think I might.
Kara:
Saturn is... Is that further away than Earth?
Zaltar:
Silly question. Did you not study sixth-dimensional geometry at school? Do they not teach you anything anymore?
Kara:
Well, of course they do. Uh, I know the equations. Uh - I just can't see them in my head.
Zaltar:
Most great artists find mathematics troublesome, Kara. Only use your imagination. Saturn and Earth are in outer space, but we - we are in inner space.
Selena:
[
after her magical creation barges through the walls] Next time, remind me to do this outside.
[
as Kara goes through the Binary Chute]
Alura:
She'll be killed.
Zaltar:
Oh, no, she won't. She will be safe. Through the binary. Through the warp. Into another register.
Zor-El:
Another what?
Zaltar:
Gravitational radiation. A pathway from inner space to outer space.
Alura:
Then she'll never be the same, ever.
Zor-El:
At least she'll be alive.
Zaltar:
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.
Nigel:
Linda, are you with us?
Linda Lee:
Um... Yes, sir, I am.
Nigel:
Oh, are you? Where, might I ask?
Linda Lee:
Well, here, sir, on Earth.
Selena:
Power of Shadow, take shape. Look like a vicious dark star. Seek out that wretched young creature and destroy her wherever she... are.
Bianca:
Oh, God, that's awful. That's never gonna work.
Supergirl:
Earth, Zaltar. A tree, a horse. You keep making things from Earth.
Zaltar:
The place intrigues me.
Supergirl:
Then let's go there.
Zaltar:
Certainly. When is the next train?
Supergirl:
What is a train?
Zaltar:
[
laughing]
Supergirl:
What's so funny? Don't laugh at me, Zaltar.
Zaltar:
I'm only laughing at myself. For you I weep.
Supergirl:
Oh. I have to go. I have to return this to where it belongs. And I must ask you all something.
Jimmy Olsen:
It's all right, Supergirl. We never saw you.
Lucy Lane:
We never even heard of you.
Kara:
[
in response to Zaltar's pessimism about escaping the Phantom Zone] You're right. You're 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 - cheaters.
[
raises nozzle in mock toast]
Zaltar:
We could die trying.
Kara:
We won't. We won't. Come on!
[
exits Zaltar's domicile up stairway]
