Quotes 

• Superman : Think he'll come back?

  Maggie Sawyer : If I had a dime for every time Dan Turpin threw in his badge, I'd make Lex Luthor look like a pauper!

• Superman : You don't think he tried something foolish, do you?

  Maggie Sawyer : I'd count on it!

• Dan Turpin : Then the guy disappears into thin air. Like bad gas. Strange stuff's going on out there, Maggie. I never seen anything like it.

  Maggie Sawyer : You shouldn't have gone out on your own, Dan. You could've been in terrible danger.

  Dan Turpin : That's why they call me Terrible Turpin.

  Maggie Sawyer : I'm serious, kiddo. We got rules here. Procedures. I can't have my number-one man peeking over fences like a schoolboy.

  Dan Turpin : Maybe you'd like it better if I could fly.

  Maggie Sawyer : You're way out of line, Turpin.

  Dan Turpin : All I know is that that tank had Mannheim's ugly mitts all over it. And this department's gonna collar that dog if I have to grab a leash and drag him in myself.

• Dan Turpin : We know they were working for Mannheim. Let's get the SCU tanks and...

  Maggie Sawyer : And what, knock down his walls? Oh, the judge'll love that.

  Dan Turpin : Maggie, we gotta hit while the money's hot.

  Maggie Sawyer : We don't even know what we're up against. Dan, listen, I want to bring Superman in on this, officially.

  Dan Turpin : You're kidding! Mannheim is mine, Maggie. My collar!

  Maggie Sawyer : Inspector, give it a rest.

• Lois Lane : That was pretty expensive machinery. You think Intergang's behind this?

  Maggie Sawyer : All I can tell you right now is that we're following every lead.

  Dan Turpin : Whoever it is, you can bet my Aunt Patty's pension they'll be going down real soon.

  Angela Chen : Translation: you expect Superman to drop them in your lap like he always does.

  Dan Turpin : What are you saying?

  Angela Chen : I'm saying that your highly-paid department can't seem to bust a jaywalker without old blue boy.

  Maggie Sawyer : [restraining Dan]  The SCU is always grateful for the help of any citizens of Metropolis, including Superman.
