Quotes 

• Superman : [seeing Leslie Willis go on a rampage with her new electric powers]  That's enough, Miss Willis.

  Livewire : It's not Miss Willis anymore! Meet her replacement.

  [conjures a costume from electricity] 

  Livewire : Livewire! Neat, huh? I ionized the air around me. Pretty form-fitting, don't you think?

  Superman : Come back to the hospital. They might be able to help you.

  Livewire : What do I need help for? I'm pure energy now! And besides, I got enough help from you the other night.

• ER Doctor : It was touch and go for a while, but the prognosis seems to be good. She'll be out of here in a few days.

  Superman : What a relief.

  ER Doctor : I can't explain her skin discoloration. But then again, I can't explain why she's alive, either.

• Leslie Willis : Seems we got a little problem, people. The authorities want to shut the party down.

  [booing, the crowd throws eggs at the cops on stage] 

  Lois Lane : And the crowd turns ugly.

  Jimmy Olsen : The crowd showed up ugly.

  Leslie Willis : Are you gonna let them shut us down? Are you gonna let them tell us what to do?

  [Superman lands next to her] 

  Leslie Willis : Hey, look. The cops brought their monkey.

  Superman : You have to stop this. Can't you see you're putting these people in danger?

  Leslie Willis : Hey, everybody, big blue says you should go home and get some sleep. What do you say to that, huh?

  [they angrily throw trash at him] 

• Livewire : Okay, time for a late power lunch.

  Superman : Lunch is canceled.

  Livewire : Ha. It's you again; tall, dark, and stupid.

  Superman : I figured you'd need to recharge yourself. And what better place than a hydroelectric plant?

• Lois Lane : [at Leslie's celebration at the park]  I can't believe they're not calling off this fiasco.

  Jimmy Olsen : I've seen riots more orderly than this.

  Clark Kent : Well, maybe reason will prevail after all.

• Lois Lane : How can you just sit there while she spews that trash about Superman?

  Clark Kent : That's what shock jocks do, Lois. They create controversy, stir things up.

  Lois Lane : If she wants controversy, wait'll I interview her.

  Sid Melkin : Uh, hi, Mr. Kent, Ms. Lane. I'm Sid Melkin, Leslie's producer. Uh, she's all set for your interview now.

  Lois Lane : Now? But we were supposed to interview her after the show.

  Sid Melkin : Change of plans. Follow me.

  Clark Kent : Straight into the lion's den.

• Leslie Willis : Come on, Lois. Just between us girls...

  Lois Lane : There's nothing to tell.

  Leslie Willis : [with his superhuman hearing, Clark hears trouble at a nearby construction site]  Something wrong, Mr. Kent? Am I boring you?

  Clark Kent : [getting up to leave]  As a matter of fact, you are.

  Leslie Willis : Ooh, don't go away mad, Clarky.

  [Clark slams the door shut behind him] 

  Leslie Willis : Well, I guess some people can't handle their false idols getting knocked...

  Lois Lane : Listen, Willis, just what is your problem with Superman?

  Leslie Willis : Problems, plural. First, he's never around when you need him. Second, everything's just so darn easy for him. And third, all he cares about is himself. I think that sums it up. Hey, we're almost out of time, but remember, tonight in Centennial Park is my third anniversary celebration. We're having a big blowout with guests and surprises, baby, so be there, or else.
