Brion James: Parasite

Quotes 

• Livewire : Poor little Parasite. I've been where you are. Locked away in a cell. All alone. No one to see. No one to touch. And all because of Superman.

  Parasite : Superman.

  Livewire : But we could take care of him, you and I. And then when we're done, maybe I'll give you a little taste. Of my power, I mean.

• Livewire : So, that's the plan, my purple people eater. I force Superman into your grip, then you drain away his powers, leaving him just conscious enough to watch me deliver the final blow!

  [sniffing] 

  Livewire : Ugh, you smell like fish.

  Parasite : So, hold your nose.

  Livewire : [backing away from his touch]  Uh-uh. You can look, but don't touch.

  Parasite : Don't be afraid. I know how to control my power.

  Livewire : That's what they all say.

• Livewire : You know how to pilot one of those?

  Parasite : Not yet, but I'm a fast learner.

  Livewire : You know where to go.

  Parasite : Ain't you coming?

  Livewire : I don't do boats.

• Parasite : Hey, Superman! Or should I call you Clark? I remember now. In fact, I remember everything about you. How's that pretty little colleague of yours? Lois, right?

  [Superman throws a water cooler at him, which temporarily shorts him] 

  Parasite : [firing electricity at him]  I was going to do this nicely, but give 'em an inch...

  [Superman flees in search of an exit] 

  Parasite : The janitor's closet. A dead end, Superman. Believe me, I know.

  [Superman swings a mop at him] 

  Parasite : Ooh, now I'm scared.

  [as he fires more electricity, the mophead catches fire; Superman holds it up to a water sprinkler set into the ceiling] 

  Parasite : NO!

• Livewire : [seeing Superman wearing a plastic-like protective coating]  Well, what do you know? The Boy Scout brought protection.

  Parasite : That ain't fair.

  Superman : I didn't realize there were rules.

• Livewire : [as Parasite absorbs Superman's powers]  That's it. Drain him! Not too much, idiot. I want him left standing.

  Parasite : I know what I'm doing.

  Livewire : [Parasite lets him go]  Yeah, blue boy, this has been a long time coming. Get ready to snap, crackle, and pop.

  [Parasite grabs her wrists] 

  Livewire : Hey! What do you think you're...

  Parasite : [she screams as he absorbs her powers, too]  I want him alive so I can keep feeding off him. And you, too. You said no to me for the last time, baby.

  [seeing Superman running away] 

  Parasite : Oh, no, you don't.

• Parasite : Superman.

  Superman : Sorry, Rudy. I'm canceling your early release.

  Superman : [Parasite fires a shotgun through the boat floor]  Oh, no, you don't.

  [rocking the boat, which throws Parasite around] 

  Superman : Give it up, Rudy. You're only hurting yourself.
