Parasite • Rudy Jones
- The Parasite: You want me to go into this guy's mind and try to find out where the bomb is. No skin off my nose. But I want something in return.
- Superman: What's that?
- The Parasite: Something to help the time go faster in this dump... And not a bunch of boring books either. I want cable *and* the premium channels.
- Rudy Jones: You're just wasting your time with that. I mean our time.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Perhaps if we worked together, Rudy. You know, double the will, double the strength. A partnership.
- Rudy Jones: Wouldn't work, Professor. In a couple hours, you'll be gone like a bad headache. That's the way it is with the Parasite. I can't keep what I take.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Don't be so short-sighted. Suppose I could find a way for the Parasite to retain the power it takes forever?
- Rudy Jones: Yeah, and what if pigs could fly?
- Dr. Earl Garver: I'm serious. I can help you, but you have to help me, too. Come on. This could be your last chance for freedom and power. But maybe you'd prefer your cable television.
- Superman: The longer this goes on, the weaker you'll get.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Then perhaps we should call an end to the stalemate.
- Rudy Jones: [he re-arms the bomb timer] What are you doing?
- Dr. Earl Garver: Two minutes. That's all you've got. Now come over here and hold out your hand like a good boy.
- Superman: Shut it off. You'll be killed, too.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Will I? My real body's miles north of here resting peacefully in an ambulance.
- Superman: Hear that, Rudy? He's willing to sacrifice you.
- Dr. Earl Garver: It'll never come to that.
- Superman: He's already taken control of your body, Rudy. What do you think he's going to do with your mind?
- Rudy Jones: You gonna crowd me out, Garver? Is that where this is going?
- Dr. Earl Garver: Rudy, you're a loser without me. It's this or the cell.
- Rudy Jones: Some choice.
- Dr. Earl Garver: Rudy, what are you...
- Superman: [Parasite shouts in pain and holds his head] Fight him, Rudy.
- [going to disarm the bomb]
- Superman: He's changed the code. Rudy?
- Dr. Earl Garver: Cat's got his tongue.
- 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...
