The Adventures of Superboy (1988) s02e21 Episode Script

Ah!
Ah!
No!
We're in the second
galaxy now.
Oh, yipes, spiders
from outer space
are attacking
the earth!
Mr. President,
I'll do all I can!
Well, thank you
very much.
Here, I just shot one
of the spiders for you.
Why, thank you,
Mr. President.
No, that's quite
all right.
Oh, here,
I shot another one.
Oh, what will
we do now?
Quick, they're coming in,
they're coming in again.
Oh, look at them,
look!
The whole earth
is destroyed!
And you're just a frog--
what do you care?
Daisy.
Yeah, hello,
Daisy?
I have it right here
in my little hand.
Well, actually,
both hands are little.
It's not like I have
a big hand
and a little hand,
it's--
anyway,
I have it right here.
Oh, Nick, to think,
after all these months,
oh, it gives me tingles
right up my spine.
The first name
is Nick.
The second name's
Knack.
It's Nick Knack,
Nick Knack!
Oh,
you scold me.
I'm making a sad face now,
Nick knack.
You're making
a sad face?
I've been in jail
for a year.
I'm--I have an ecstatic
face on, okay?
Gimme three minutes
to cut through
the bars, okay?
Okay, okay.
Now, I'm to do exactly
what you told me to do.
Drive up to the fence
and keep the engine running.
Don't turn off the engine,
whatever you do.
Okay?
Fine.
My sweet
little lamb.
Ya hear that?
I'm coughing.
I'm coughing
because I'm sick.
I'm very sick.
I won't leave
this bed.
I don't--
Oh, hurry,
Nick Knack!
I can't wait
any longer!
Please, hurry!
Oh, I should
hurry up?
Gee, I thought I'd
stay another hour
and have lunch
with the warden!
My little
lambie-poo.
Ugh.
Oh, hurry,
Nick knack.
I have the most
wonderful hug
waiting for you.
Oh, hurry,
please, hurry.
Yeah, hello,
Daisy?
I am at the, uh, window
ledge right now.
Now-now,
be very quiet,
'cause in order to jump
without hurting myself,
I have to get myself
in a zen-like state.
It's very important that--
aaahhh!
Aaahhh!
Nick Knack,
you're out!
We got you out,
we got you out!
Oh, I'm so happy
to see you!
Ow-ow-ow-ow
Oh, I'm so happy
to see you!
Ow, the pain,
the pain!
You mean so much
to me.
You are my life,
the air that my
very soul breathes.
Ow, let go of me,
please, let go.
Oh, I shoulda died
when I hit the ground.
Well, what do
you think?
I made it special
for this occasion.
Ow, ooh-ooh
You made
this van?
No, not the van,
the dress, my dress.
I made
it special.
Oh, well, it looks
like a dress.
And I'll make a pretty
bride, won't I?
It looks just
like a dress.
And when we're married,
we'll be together
forever and ever
and ever and ever--
Ow, just take the van
and roll over me!
Just kill me
already!
A very long time,
I suspect.
Ow, let go, oh
Yes.
But first, there's one
thing I have to do.
Like become one of
the richest men in the world.
I've been working on
the plans you sent me.
This is almost
ready.
So there's only
one thing we have to do
to complete it:
kidnap Superboy.
Oh, oh, please!
Oh, let me go!
Oh, oh,
let me gooo!
Come on, Clark,
put away that shirt
and take a look
at this.
Aren't those old
8-track tapes?
Yup.
Don't you need an 8-track
machine to play 'em?
They don't make
those anymore.
Clark, this is possibly
the best scheme
of the century.
See, I go around
the campus
and I hand these
away for free.
But, I have the 8-track
tape players.
So put an ad
in the paper
and I get a great
price for 'em,
because everybody
wants to hear the tapes
that they got
for free.
Pretty slick, huh?
"Harry Belafonte
sings 'Daddy-o'"?
"Day-o," Clark,
"Day-o."
Didn't you see
"Beetlejuice"?
Come on, man,
that's a hot song.
This is
a great idea, Clark.
Now, classifieds
Whoa, "Nick Knack
escapes from prison."
Nick Knack?
Yeah, that's that guy
that Superboy put away
about a year
ago.
Oh, I remember
Nick.
He said at his trial
that he'd get revenge
on Superboy if it was
the last thing he ever did.
I dunno, some of his
weird contraptions
were pretty deadly,
as I remember.
Clark, I wouldn't
worry about it.
I'd put my money
on Superboy any day.
Sometimes I think
you worry too much.
We should take
some time off.
Go to the beach,
maybe.
Yeah, but I burn
too easily.
Some kind of weird
ticking sound,
I don't know
what's causing it.
It's like a kind of
a-a weird ticking thing.
Yeah, this
should do it.
I'll be through
in a minute, Daisy.
And I must say
that you've followed
my plans perfectly.
Oh, you are the one
who's the toy genius,
Nick knack--you came up
with this plan.
You know, now that
you put it that way,
you're probably right.
I am
a genius.
I'm the master
of toys.
Oh, and I will look pretty
when you've finished
with Superboy,
won't I?
I'm going to look very
good in all the beautiful,
shiny things you're
gonna buy for me.
Yes, you'll be
a ravishing beauty.
We'll have diamonds,
pearls,
all the money
we want.
And the best part
about it is,
it'll all be because
of the person
who put me in prison:
Superboy.
Oh, and then we can
get married, right?
Um, I have a lot of work
to do around here still.
Oh, but you said
we'd get married,
in your letters,
before you got outta jail.
And we will get married,
uh, my dim rose.
Isn't that "primrose"?
Yes, primrose,
primrose.
And you did mean the part
about how I remind you
of Madonna in all
those rock videos?
Daisy, I can honestly say
that you are ten times
the woman Madonna
is.
Ha-ha-ha!
Oh, Nick Knack,
tell me again how
we're going to get our
revenge on Superboy,
and tell me in that mean,
sinister voice way.
Okay.
We're gonna
pulverize him.
We're gonna make
mincemeat out of him.
And you know
how?
With reverse
magnetic polarity.
With it, I drain
the strength
from Superboy,
and I transfer it to
My robotic
super-suit.
No one can
stop me!
I'll be the strongest
man alive.
I just can't believe
how brilliant I am.
What a miraculous
invention.
Daisy, come over here
and see what a genius I am.
Okay, now you see
the way this works?
You put a blank
piece of paper in here,
and outside,
it comes money.
Take another worthless
blank piece of paper,
and outside
is more money!
Soon, we'll have
enough money
to buy that special
meteor alloy.
Oh, Nick Knack,
I'm so excited that
you've made me a part
of this great plan.
Yeah, yeah, couldn't have
done it without ya.
You couldn't?
Nah, of course not.
Oh, Nick Knack,
that's the nicest thing
you've ever
said to me.
It is?
Come on, doll face,
we're pullin' a heist.
I'll make him an offer
he can't refuse.
I'm a big man.
Hey, what are you
guys doing here
this late
at night?
Hey, listen to me,
ya big sap,
before I fill ya
full of lead.
I'm here to purchase
a meteor alloy.
Everything
they got in there
would cost you a lot
more than you have.
Ha!
A lot?
You talk to me
about a lot?
Would you call
this a lot?
Maybe I might be
able to help you.
Why, thank you,
baldie.
And my gal Daisy
thanks you.
Take her first--
she's like a whole meal.
I'm just
an appetizer.
There ya go, complete
with all the fixings.
Thanks, buddy.
It's between
classes.
That means that the kids
will be coming out soon.
I dunno, Andy--
Nancy Sinatra?
Come on, "these boots
are made for walking"?
That's a great song--
it's a classic.
Along with
the theme song
from "the Lawrence Welk
Show," huh?
Ha-ha-ha.
Superboy?
Hi, it's
Nick Knack.
Uh, can you meet me alone
on freemont beach
around the corner
from, like, that sorta
lemonade stand
not far from there.
I wanna talk to you
about turning myself in.
Bye!
Hm, wow,
how 'bout that.
Nick knack giving
himself up, huh?
I'm not so sure
about that, Andy.
Nick knack always
seems to have
some kind of scheme
up his sleeve.
Do you think
you'll be able
to get in touch
with Superboy?
I think so.
I'd better go see
if I can contact him.
I'm not gonna
be able to make it
to our library
study date.
No problem.
I'm sorry.
It-it's okay,
Clark.
I don't
do libraries.
You should try it
sometime.
I hear they even have
books and everything.
Well, actually,
I was thinking you and I
might hit this cozy little
pizza place I know.
Get some beers,
maybe a couple slices.
We could-we could
study there.
I'll catch ya
in class.
She doesn't know
what she's missing.
Here you go,
Nick Knack.
Thank you, Daisy,
my little muffie-poo.
Oh, look who's here--
Superboy!
Is that it,
is it Superboy?
I recognize you, 'cause I
saw that outfit before.
You've worn that
something.
Nick Knack, hi.
Daisy made some,
uh, lemonade.
It's without pits;
It's pitless.
You don't have
to go ptoo, ptoo.
I'm not here for
a picnic, Nick.
I'm here to take you
back to prison with me.
Okay,
wait a second.
You see,
it's Nick Knack.
First name's Nick,
second name's Knack.
It's Nick Knack,
Nick Knack, Nick Knack.
Did ya get
that right?
Nick Knack.
This is not a time
for toys.
Oh, but it is,
Superboy.
Yes, it is.
Those straps
are unbreakable.
They're made from
a special meteor alloy
from outer space.
You can only get
meteors in outer space;
you don't get 'em
on the earth.
You can't break
out of them,
and you can't burn
through 'em
with that
heat vision.
You must
be joking.
You'll never get
away with this.
I can't get away
with it?
Watch this--
I'm getting away!
Bye, Superboy,
I'm getting away!
Look at the Boy
of Steel,
all bound up
and no place to go.
Getting away!
Oh, your plan worked,
Nick Knack,
just like I knew
it would.
Yes, well,
I'm a genius.
An evil genius,
but I am a genius.
Oh, oh, oh, please, please,
not the ribs, not the ribs!
Ah, ah!
Haircut and a shave,
Superboy?
Ha-ha-ha!
So how do you
usually wear it?
Short in the back--
I remember.
Well, you're probably
wondering
what I plan
to do with you.
Okay,
I'll tell you.
I plan to drain
all the energy
from your body,
and transfer it--where?
To my robotic
super-suit.
You know, I really wish
you could watch this.
It's going to be
stupendous.
It'll be exciting,
a first.
This might be loud;
Don't let it scare you.
It's working,
it's working!
Well, Superboy,
now you'll know
what it's like to be
another little
weakling nerd who
no one likes to play with.
Maybe you're hurting
Superboy, Nick Knack.
You know, I don't wanna
hurt him.
I should hurryTo turn
offthemachine.
Boo!
That could've
scared anyone.
Quick, strap me
into my super-suit.
Oh, Superboy,
I'm getting away.
I can't
believe it.
I feel the power of
hundreds of men,
thousands, millions!
What comes
after millions?
Now you're gonna
bring me
all my gifts,
Nick Knack?
Gifts?
You want gifts?
I'll bring you back
any gift you want.
Anything at all.
Now get out of
my way, Daisy.
I'm going shopping
At the gold reserve.
Oh!
Are you hurt
really bad?
Come on, boys, come out
here and shoot me.
Go ahead,
I dare ya.
Halt!
Halt!
I made us some
fresh lemonade.
Oh, you know, Nick Knack
is really not a bad guy.
He hurt me.
To charge up
his super-suit.
Look at me,
Daisy.
How weak
I am.
And if Nick isn't careful,
he's gonna hurt himself
with that machine.
But Nick Knack's
the master of toys.
But he isn't used to having
superpowers as I am.
You mean,
my little Nick Knack
could be a hurt
little Nick Knack?
I'm afraid so.
Well then, I'd better
untie you right away
so that you
can save him.
He's at
the gold reserve.
You do save people,
don't you?
Sure I do.
Ah!
Superboy!
Are you
all right?
I feel
a little weak.
You're no match
for me, Superboy.
I have all
of your powers.
Come on, Superboy,
wake up.
Had enough,
Superboy?
No, you're draining
the battery!
Ah, nooo!
That's what
I figured.
Now I've got all
my power back.
Aaahhh!
Oh, oh
Oh!
You've ruined everything,
Superboy.
Look what you did
to the Super-Suit!
When are you gonna
learn, Nick?
Toys are
for kids.
Oh, just one thing,
Superboy.
How did
you escape?
Your friend Daisy.
She really cares
about you,
although I don't
know why.
And she'll be
waiting for you at
the police headquarters
when they bring you in.
Oh!
You may have gotten me
this time, Superboy,
but I'll get you yet,
if it's the last thing I do!
