Maggie Sawyer
- Superman: Twenty minutes left.
- Maggie Sawyer: He'll call.
- [her landline rings]
- Maggie Sawyer: Yes?
- Dr. Earl Garver: This isn't a game of chicken anymore, Ms. Sawyer. I still want the money. 50 million in unsigned bearer bonds, understand?
- Maggie Sawyer: So far.
- Dr. Earl Garver: There's just one modification. I want Superman to bring it to me, and I want him to come alone. Agreed?
- Superman: Agreed.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Very good, Superman. Go to the old subway extension. Enter by way of the northside station. I'll be waiting.
- Professor Emile Hamilton: I think I understand how you feel, Superman. If it had happened to me, I'd be leery, too.
- Superman: That's not it. What you want to do could be more dangerous than a dozen bombs.
- Maggie Sawyer: We'll take every possible precaution.
- [they look into Parasite's cell]
- Maggie Sawyer: But right now, he's our only hope.
- Superman: Inspector Sawyer, Professor Hamilton.
- Maggie Sawyer: Perfect timing. The man inside's Earl Garver. Used to work at S.T.A.R. Labs.
- Professor Emile Hamilton: Until he stole a radioactive isotope from us.
- Maggie Sawyer: [showing Superman the ransom note] He sent this to the mayor today. He says used the isotope to make a bomb, and he'll detonate it if we don't pay by tonight.
- Professor Emile Hamilton: It could take out a square mile of the city.
- Superman: Let me see if I can change his mind.
- Maggie Sawyer: Did he say anything, Doctor?
- Doctor: It's a severe concussion. He'll be unconscious for the next day or two.
- Maggie Sawyer: The bomb goes off in four hours.
- Superman: Even I couldn't search the city in that time.
- Professor Emile Hamilton: If I might make a suggestion, there's someone who might be able to tell us exactly where that bomb is.
- The Parasite: Why should I help you? You're the one who put me here.
- Superman: Rudy, the whole city's in trouble.
- The Parasite: Tell somebody who cares.
- Maggie Sawyer: The bomb could blow up a huge area of Metropolis. What if that includes Stryker's Island?
- The Parasite: What if it does? Think I'd miss this life of mine? These four stinking walls?
- Maggie Sawyer: Rudy, can you hear me? Did you find out where the bomb is?
- Dr. Earl Garver: I know where it is, all right, but you still have to pay.
- Maggie Sawyer: [taken aback] Sounds like Garver.
- Professor Emile Hamilton: Rudy?
- Dr. Earl Garver: Sorry, Emil, I've put Rudy on the back burner. You're cooking with Earl now.
- Maggie Sawyer: What's happening?
- Professor Emile Hamilton: The Parasite has somehow taken Garver's consciousness, not just his memories.
- Maggie Sawyer: How?
- Professor Emile Hamilton: Garver's intellect, his ego, his force of personality; it all must have combined to overwhelm...
- Dr. Earl Garver: What's it going to be?
- Superman: You're still stuck here, Garver, and you don't even know what hospital you're in. If that bomb goes off there's a good chance you'll go with it.
- [indicating Garver's physical body]
- Superman: Both of you.
- Rudy Jones: Come on, man, what are you waiting for? They got you. Cooperate, and they'll treat you real good.
- Superman: You'll never get away, Garver.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Ah, the best-laid plans...
- Maggie Sawyer: Guess he thought nobody'd stumble across his bomb down here.
- Superman: There's the wreck.
- Maggie Sawyer: Once you find the sucker, I can disarm it.
- [he uses his x-ray vision to look inside]
- Maggie Sawyer: See anything?
- Superman: No, there's too much debris. We'll have to go in.
- Maggie Sawyer: [as he pulls a door off, the debris rumbles] Let's make this a short visit.
- Maggie Sawyer: [searching for Garver's bomb in a submerged shipwreck] It's not here. He's playing games with us.
- Superman: No, he's buying time. We'd better get back.
