Quotes 

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : Listen, I got a joke for you.

  Lana Lang : [unenthused]  Okay.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Knock, knock.

  Lana Lang : Who's there?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Jimmy.

  Lana Lang : Jimmy who?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Jimmy a kiss.

  Lana Lang : [squealing in disgust as he kisses her]  Uck!

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Great, huh? Sensational?

  Lana Lang : Ugh, that was disgusting! Now I know what it's like to be kissed by a toad. Blech!

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [to himself]  I think I need a little more work on this.

• Lana Lang : I don't know. I suppose I went a little too far by calling the guy a toad.

  Clark Kent : Well, for all we know, where he comes from, calling him a toad's a compliment.

  Lana Lang : I'll admit the guy's a little unusual.

  Clark Kent : A little unusual?

  Lana Lang : Okay, so he's the weirdest thing to ever hit Shuster. But I don't see what, uh, Superboy and Dr. Royer are so concerned about. And even if they're right, and Mr. Mxyzptlk turns out to be from out of this world, he doesn't seem all that dangerous.

• Superboy : That's not Clark.

  Lana Lang : What?

  Superboy : It's not the Clark you know.

  Lana Lang : Well, you can say that again. He's been full of surprises all day.

  Superboy : Just come with me. I need to explain some things to you. I'll take you somewhere safe.

• Clark Kent : You know, Lana, you haven't said much about my double. What was the other Clark like, anyway?

  Lana Lang : Oh, the less said, the better. Believe me, one Clark in a girl's life is more than enough.

  Clark Kent : [a little insulted]  What does that mean?

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : Superboy, I'm so glad you could come to see me. It saves me having to come see you.

  [he disappears, then re-appears] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [singing]  I've come from afar/To make you a star.

  [he disappears again] 

  T.J. White : Okay... that does it. No more chili dogs before bedtime.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [re-appearing again]  Look, I know these losers are your people, and I love you for your loyalty to them. Really. But we got things to discuss. So what say you we make a meet on top of the biology building in say, oh, mm, 28 seconds?

  [he disappears yet again] 

  T.J. White : We are dreaming, aren't we?

  Lana Lang : Uh... it's too silly to be a dream.

  Superboy : It was no dream.

• T.J. White : [in funny-looking costumes]  Get a load of us!

  Professor Royer : Absolutely amazing! Instantaneous matter transference!

  Superboy : Seems our little friend is, uh, short on patience.

  Lana Lang : Well, what do we do now?

  Superboy : I'd take the side streets if I were you.
