[while Clark is shaving, Mr. Mxyzptlk appears in his bathroom mirror]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Hi, guy!
[throws his head out of the mirror, which reforms into a new body]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Your three months are up! And this time you're not gonna cheat me out of my fun!
Clark Kent : Oh, it's YOU again, Mr Kltpzxym.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Not Kltpzxym, Mxyzptlk! Now, the first thing I'm gonna... ah, nuts!
[vanishes]

Clark Kent : What do you want?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Laughs! You see, for centuries now, I've been pitting my interdimensional magic against schmoes who thought they could go 15 rounds with the old master! You know the stories about genies, imps leprechauns?
[Mr Mxyzptlk levitates Streaky the cat, which Clark flies up and catches]
Clark Kent : You?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Yep. After a while, I became bored with your basic rank-and-file human dolts. But then YOU showed up, SUPERMAN!
[Clark turns into Superman with a flash]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : You, my friend, are the ultimate challenge! We're going to have very merry games, you and I!
[starts flying around in circles]
Superman : A game has rules! Your stunts are just random idiocy!
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Okay, I'll give you a rule! If you can make me say, spell or otherwise reveal my name backwards and I'll split, until our dimensions come into alignment again in... oh, three months, give or take.
Superman : I can't even say your name forwards - how am I supposed to say it BACKwards?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : No, dope, *you* don't have to say it, you have to get *me* to say it!
Superman : Say what?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Kltpzyxm! Gosh, you're thick! Now, for the last time... ah, nuts!

[Mr Mxyzptlk appears in the Daily Planet just as Clark Kent prints out an article]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Ha, ha! You think you're pretty smart, don't you?
Clark Kent : Look, little man, I'm tired of this! If it's a fight you want...
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Oh, it is! It is!
Clark Kent : Fine! First let me proofread this article, and I'll meet you on the roof in twenty minutes...
Mr. Mxyzptlk : No stalling! I'll edit the rag for you!
[grabs Clark's article and magically picks out its spelling mistakes]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : There! Hey! What...? NO!
[vanishes]
Lois Lane : [passing by, glancing up the article] You're getting sloppy, Smallville. This sentence is cluttered with typos.
[gives the article back to Clark and leaves]
Clark Kent : K, L, T, P, Z...

Clark Kent : What's it going to take to get rid of you, for EVER?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : You always trick me into doing the same thing once, but this time you're going to have to make me do it TWICE, in a row! Which means I can say Kltpzyxm all I want, as long as I break it - KILL-PIX-YEEZ-SUM - up! HA! If you beat me, then I'm history! Gone! Finito! Bye-bye! But if I win, then I got me a new stable boy! Deal?
Clark Kent : Whatever you want. I quit.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Huh?... You don't mean it.
Superman : Oh, yes I do. Shut off the lights when you're done, will you?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : [pulling on Superman's cape] Hey! HEY! You can't just walk out! If you do, your friends will stay mindless beasts!
Superman : They don't seem to mind.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : [turns into a newspaper boy] You better come with me, Little Boy Blue! If you don't cooperate, I'll tell the world your secret!
Superman : Big deal. I'll find another disguise.
[flies away]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : [thinking, words form above his head] ¡*%#!

Clark Kent : [trying to pronounce Mxyzptlk] Hmmmm... MICKS-ILL-PLIK...
[Mxyzptlk pops out of a comic]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : No! Repeat after me, bright boy: it's MIX...
[turns into a mixer]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : YEEZ...

Mr. Mxyzptlk : LICK!

Mr. Mxyzptlk : [storming into his home] Nuts! Nuts! Nuts!
Gsptlsnz : He beat you again, huh?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : [snarls] Don't you start with me, Gsptlnz!

Mr. Mxyzptlk : So long, Gspy! Don't wait up!

Mr. Mxyzptlk : I've only got ninety days until my next round with that caped clod! How does he do it?

Mr. Mxyzptlk : I skywrote my own name, BACKWARDS!
[his right leg fragments]
Superman : Twice.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : You were just toying with me! Even from the start!
[his left leg inflates and bursts]
Superman : Pretty much, yeah.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Never had you fooled for a second?
[his arms tear off and vanish]
Superman : Sorry.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : You are the superior being after all!
[his torso shrivels up]
Superman : Well...
Mr. Mxyzptlk : And now I'm gone... gone forever!
[his head deflates into his hat, which vanishes]
Superman : WHEW!

[last lines]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : [raging at a model of Superman] Oh, you... you... I'm not done with you! NOT BY A LONG SHOT! I'll find a loophole, somehow, someday!
Gsptlsnz : You know, now that you're stuck here, you'll just have to find another way to pass the time...
[kisses her husband]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Hey, this isn't so bad...
[kisses his wife back, but as he glances at the model, he changes it into a monkey]

Gsptlsnz : Mxy, I wore this outfit just for you.
Mr. Mxyzptlk : No time for love, babe! Got to beat Superman, got to beat Superman...
Gsptlsnz : Oh, Mxy, I don't like the way you're obsessing over this Superman person. Using our powers to torment humans is so three-dimensional...
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Got-to-beat-SUPERMAN!
Gsptlsnz : If you're obsessed with him that much, why don't you, oh, I don't know, destroy him?
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Hey, that's it! Next time I'll finish him off befre he can trick me! Thanks, Gspy! Love ya.
[kisses his wife]
Gsptlsnz : Yeah, yeah. Lucky me.

[Superman makes Mr Mxyzptlk nearly crash into a wall]
Mr. Mxyzptlk : Nice try, Blue! But not good enough!

Mr. Mxyzptlk : NOW you're gonna get it! Oh, yeah!
