Quotes 

• Livewire : [Parasite tries to touch Livewire against her protests, only to be caught]  You stupid sleaze! I'm pure electricity, 186,000 miles per second! If I say no, it means NO!

• Lois Lane : Inspector, is the S.C.U. really prepared to deal with Livewire?

  Dan Turpin : If that short circuit shows her mug anywhere in this town, I will personally...

  Livewire : [Voice only]  Pucker up and plant a big wet one right on the lips!

  [Livewire shows up in person and kisses Turpin on the lips, causing speakers to blow out one by one] 

• Livewire : It's so boring in here. So lonely. I've been waiting for someone like you to come along. Someone to help me shake things up a little.

  Janitor : W-What do you want me to do?

  Livewire : How about a little music for Livewire? Just to get me in the mood.

  Janitor : Sure. Why not?

  Livewire : [taking his earphones and absorbing the electricity]  Whoa!

  [giving them back] 

  Livewire : Thanks, Danny boy. That's all I needed.

  Janitor : [trying to turn his Walkman on]  Hey, these batteries are dead.

  Livewire : [melting the lock of her cell and kicking the door open]  Let's see if they're rechargeable.

• Livewire : [evading water Superman shoots from a fire hydrant]  Uh, uh, uh. Not this time, Superjerk. But I'll be back. And next time, I'll find a way to take you out permanently!

• 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 : You bungling idiot! We could have had it all. All! Look at me, you dolt. This is the face that's going to destroy you. You hear me, eggplant?

  Dan Turpin : Don't waste your breath, sparky. Parasite don't even know who he is. It's a good bet he ain't gonna remember you.

• Livewire : Hi, boys. Wanna make sparks fly?

  [the prisoners whistle and cat-call; she touches a cell bar and the electricity transfers down the cell block] 

  Livewire : I just keep going and going and going.

• 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.

• Livewire : Hey, Mr. Clean! Yo, rap master Danny! Hey, stupid!

  Janitor : Huh?

  Livewire : I love a man who knows his limitations. What you listening to?

  Janitor : My Walkman.

  Livewire : Sounded like Voodoo Connection. Oh, I'd sure like to hear a cut off of their new album.

  Janitor : I don't think so. I'm not even supposed to be talking to you.

  Livewire : Yeah? You're not even supposed to be listening to music, but you are.

• 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.

• Superman : Looking for me, Livewire?

  Livewire : Well-timed, Superjerk. Let's rock!

  [electrocuting him, then shooting electricity bolts at him] 

  Livewire : You're just delaying the inevitable, Superman.

  Superman : What do you want?

  Livewire : That's right, let's get to the heart of the matter. I want justice. I want revenge. I want your life!

  [knocking him through a wall down onto the street] 

  Livewire : Why won't you die?
