Quotes
-
Metallo : [bursting through the door to give him a sense of feeling] I want those adjustments NOW!
Young Doctor : What... what adjustments?
Metallo : The ones Luthor told me about when I said I couldn't feel my hands! *Those* adjustments!
Young Doctor : Well, the adjustments were yours to make.
Metallo : Mine?
[slams his fist on the desk]
Metallo : You're telling me...
Young Doctor : There'll always be a certain numbness, a lack of feeling. But you'll get used to it.
Metallo : I don't *want* to get used to it!
[throws the desk]
Young Doctor : Mr. Corben, the operation gave you almost infinite strength. You can never get sick. You're invulnerable to injury. You'll never feel pain again!
Metallo : And what about pleasure, hmm?
Young Doctor : That - that was never part of the equation.
Metallo : [grabs him by the collar] Find me a body. Change me back. I have to feel!
Young Doctor : [nervous] We... we can't. The transplant is permanent.
[Corben yells in insane anger and throws the young doctor onto a sofa]

Lex Luthor : Well, how do you feel?
John Corben : Great. Better than I have in weeks.
Young Doctor : Shall we test out that theory?
[leading him to a machine]
Young Doctor : Hit that, please.
[as Corben hits a pad, a weight rises and hits the top of its chamber]
Young Doctor : Impressive.
John Corben : Wasn't even trying.
[as he punches it again, harder, pieces break off]
John Corben : Satisfied?
-
Young Doctor : Now, if you'll please stand still.
John Corben : [seeing a canon being aimed at him] Hey, wait a minute!
[the ordnance has no impact on him]
John Corben : How...?
Lex Luthor : Your skin is also made from metallo.
John Corben : But I... I can't feel anything. It's like I'm controlling my hands from outside my body.
Lex Luthor : Some adjustments need to be made, that's all. But first, you have a job to do.
John Corben : Superman?
Lex Luthor : Yes.
