03x06 - Party Animals

[bunniefuu]

Something happened

during the fight.

My powers.

I can't be Superman

for you anymore.

Clark. Clark. Hey, Clark.

You okay, man?

Yeah. Yeah.

Smile.

-Let's get one with you.

-I'm good, Jimmy.

You two are the ones nominated

for an award tonight.

You are nominated too.

Technically,

Superman was nominated.

But it's fine. I'm fine.

Good evening, award co-nominees,

plus Clark.

Which one of you lucky kids

gets to ride up front with me?

Uh

Just kidding.

The back seat's

for nominees only.

Come on, Kent.

Make yourselves comfortable,

VIPs.

Back there, you've got

all weather floor mats,

adjustable protein shake sleeves

and check this. It's a curtain.

It's like Kent

and I aren't even here.

So you think Superman's

gonna show up tonight?

I'm I mean, I'm sure

he'll try his best to make it.

I mean, he definitely

wants to be here.

He probably misses the city

as much as it misses him.

Probably.

Poor Clark.

How long does it usually take

to open up

after your identity's

been shattered?

I'll see if we can talk tonight.

Speaking of tonight,

who's Kara bringing to the gala?

-Oh, you mean like a date?

-Yeah, a date.

She's the most eligible

bachelorette in Metropolis.

I don't think

she's bringing anyone.

She's been full time Supergirl

for the last month and

Wait! Are you bringing a date?

Well, W.O.R.M.S.,

W.O.R.M.S., W.O.R.M.S.

-reached out to me again.

-Jimmy!

And as a man of business,

I have a contractual obligation

to go on one more date,

uh, tonight.

You're bringing a date to a gala

where Kara is receiving

an award?

Come on. You've seen Kara

on the apps.

She's moved on.

I can't wait until your date

turns you into an octopus

or a human skyscraper or

Listen, I have this

all under control.

Nothing is gonna happen tonight.

You see, Lois,

this is a perfectly normal gala

with perfectly normal

The "Daily Planet" interns

are being featured tonight.

So Mr. White says

we're your problem now.

What?

It's okay, Jimmy. I got this.

-But, Clark

-It's all right.

It's really okay.

I need something to do.

Wait. I'm gonna go find

She's here.

Kara.

She's moved on.

I don't see a date.

Uh

Hey, Kara!

Over here!

Lois Lane! Jimmy Flamebird!

Oh, Monsieur Olsen.

Bonsoir, cheri.

Wow! Hello.

You must be

Princess Marina Maru.

Maru. And please, James,

call me Marina.

Cat Grant, "Daily Planet."

Is James Olsen

your date tonight?

Oh, oui, bien sur!

Jimmy brought a date.

Jimmy brought a date!

That's Jimmy's W.O.R.M.S. date.

Well, Jimmy's always had

a boyish charm.

Boyish charm.

Anyway, I hope we get a chance

to talk tonight, Clark.

The dress is fire.

Uh, sorry, Lois, but I gotta go

get those rascals.

Come here, you. Come on.

-Lane.

-Vicki.

I can't believe

you turned down a job with me

to stay with

your deadweight boyfriend.

So much promise wasted.

I don't need to work for you

to be a great reporter, Vicki.

And by the way, we're nominated

in the same category.

So I think I'm doing just fine.

You mean co-nominated

with the Olsen kid?

You can't even win an award

without one of your

little boy toys at your side.

Let's find out what

you're made of, shall we, Lane?

Whoever walks away with

the biggest scoop tonight wins.

Oh, you're on.

You talk a big game, Vicki,

but everyone knows

all that really counts

is what you can do.

Vicki Vale!

Can you believe I used to be

obsessed with her?

Hey, is everything okay?

Oh, yeah. Great.

Everything's great.

I can help you.

Metropolis has

been missing its hero

for over a month now.

Supergirl is expected to be at

the humanitarian gala tonight

to accept her award.

But will Superman

be there to join her?

Mmm, my friend.

Jimmy,

introduce me to your date.

Who you brought to the gala

where I am receiving an award.

Kara, I, uh

Ah, Supergirl.

You and Superman are greatly

admired even in Markovia.

Metropolis is fortunate

to have you as its guardian.

Thank you, Princess.

But it is Superman

who deserves all the credit.

You deserve the credit.

You saved the city.

And I I know the city's

confusing

and doesn't always know

how it feels.

But everybody in the city

really, really cares

about you, Kara, and

Ah, James Olsen.

You are so kind

to your platonic friend.

Uh, I mean, I'm

I'm just, uh

Good evening and welcome

to Metropolis's 10th Annual

Humanitarian Gala.

My name is Silver St. Cloud.

And it is my honor

to be your host tonight.

Thank you for joining us here

at the Natural History Museum.

We have an impressive roster

of speakers

and so much charitable service

to recognize tonight.

So please find your seat.

Thank you.

Fox to vulture.

Entryway has been secured.

Uh, Kara, can you believe these

are the bones of a blue whale,

Earth's largest living animal?

Flip, why don't you tell

Uh-oh. Flip?

Hey, Clark,

won't you miss Kara's

Don't worry, I'll be back

before Kara's award.

I promise.

Flip!

It's my great privilege

to recognize not one,

but two courageous individuals

who put their lives

on the line for Metropolis

again and again.

Please, a huge round of applause

for Metropolis humanitarians,

Superman and Supergirl.

Thank you all.

Kal-El Superman wishes

he could be here tonight.

But in his absence,

I humbly accept this award

for us both.

I can see why Superman

loves your Earth.

Although I am still new

to this planet,

it is already full

of people I love.

And friends I can count on.

Fox to Vulture. Exits are

locked and alarms are disabled.

Local feed redirected.

Ready to broadcast at your word.

-Princess Maru.

-Vicki, what are you

You're so outspoken

in your beliefs.

Do you fear public backlash

or even persecution

for your endorsement

of free expression?

I have received

several threats, yes.

But I always take

the necessary precautions.

I refuse to be silenced.

Hmm.

Leaving already, Lane?

That's what you sound like.

What's all this?

Who's there?

Uh, I think we need to tell

someone about this.

Like who?

Flip?

Kids?

Anyone?

Be really great to have

super-hearing right about now.

Flip?

Um, stop being creepy.

What in the

Flip!

So you have absolutely

no opinions

on the growing armed

presence here tonight?

Do you have thoughts

on anything?

Fine. Who's in charge here?

That would be me.

Oh, hi, Silver.

I I just wanted to

Have you seen

I'm a big fan

of your work, Lois.

You're a terrific reporter.

Oh, wow. Thank you.

But these interrogations are

kind of bringing down the vibe.

You know what I mean?

The added security is

Princess Maru's private detail.

That's all.

I'm sorry, Silver.

I'm just in this

stupid competition

with Vicki tonight and

Tonight's awards

aren't enough for you two?

Okay. I guess I'm always in

a stupid competition with Vicky,

but, I mean, what's enough?

I don't know.

But I do know

that if you need an award

to tell you that you're enough,

you'll never get there.

Just do your best.

And if you can celebrate

whatever that brings you

with the people you love,

well, that's as much

as anybody gets.

Wait. Where are

the people I love?

Get away from them!

My powers.

Is everyone all right?

Anybody hurt?

You're hurt. Clark.

Where's Superman?

I I'm sorry, I

-Come on. We have to go now.

-Hey, you!

Clark?

Anyone?

This is Vulture.

I got another stray.

-Shh.

-Clark, there's a man.

Yeah. His friend just shot me.

Vulture to Fox.

I have strays in the hallway.

I'll take care of them.

Confirm when you have hands

on the princess.

Hands on the princess?

And now please join me

in welcoming

our esteemed keynote speaker,

Her Royal Highness,

Princess Marina Maru

of Markovia.

Kara.

Jimmy, Princess Maru

has a problem.

Armed men have broken in

and they're after her.

I am Princess Marina Maru.

But you may call me

Dr. Poison!

I am here to

reverse the Anthropocene era,

curing our Mother Earth

of the disease of humankind!

-Jimmy!

-I guess I have a type.

And what better place

to start this revolution

than here at the mausoleum

you've created

for the animals of Le Monde.

Prepare to leave on four legs

or not at all!

You! Stop!

Ah, Supergirl.

Such a pity my poison

does not work on you,

but you have other problems, no?

At this very moment,

my henchmen are

at the Metropolis Dam.

Ready to release my poison

directly into the city's

water supply.

Can you be

in two places at once?

Kara, go save the city.

Dr. Poison is

my contractual obligation.

Open up!

Uh, how are you gonna stop him?

I

Wait.

Any ideas on how to stop

Dr. Poison?

-Uh

-She's your date.

Wait. Your boyish charm.

Use your boyish charm!

I I don't think

it works like that.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I don't want to be a wolf again.

Uh, what?

This way, kids.

We're almost there.

It's over!

The guard.

I thought his name was Vulture.

Back up, kids! Back up!

Get to the chopper!

Wait!

Princess Maru!

James?

Princess, please listen to me.

This form suits you, James.

But sadly, this must be adieu.

But didn't you feel

our connection?

Our animal attraction?

I Well

Everyone, keep going.

Lois, what are you

Lois?

Lois!

Lois!

Are you

Up here, Smallville.

Cat?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep going.

James, you beautiful fool.

You were just a pawn

in my world-altering game.

A handsome pawn, oui,

but a pawn seulement.

I'm sorry. What was that?

I can't understand you

because of your gas mask.

Do not think me cruel, James.

But I only arranged

a date with you

to gain access to this event.

But now I must shed you

like so much snakeskin.

But wait.

Just one more thing.

That's enough!

Shark to Fox.

Operation Make a Splash

has been compromised.

Allons-y. Maintenant!

Bad dog.

Huh? Who

James, I am so sorry to have

broken your fragile heart.

Don't worry, you didn't.

There are more sharks

in the sea,

my delicious pound cake.

You will forget

our restless rendezvous

and someday find true love.

I'm already in love

with someone.

I've just been really,

really stupid about it.

Of course, c'est moi.

Her name is Kara.

Whatever makes you

feel better, James.

Au revoir!

Silver. Hi.

Lois, I wanted

to congratulate you

on your award.

I won?

I mean, thanks, Silver.

Enjoy the rest

of your night, Miss Lane.

Well, obviously, the work

itself is its own reward.

Here, Flip. Do you want this?

Uh, thanks.

Okay, she's gone. Give it back.

Ooh! It's so shiny!

Jimmy Flamebird!

Why did you share feelings

with Dr. Poison

that you would not

share with me?

I thought it seemed

like you moved on.

You were on the apps.

You you'd been dating people?

No, I wanted to be together.

You ran away and and played

your stupid Earth games.

Then Kal-El became distant.

And and you stopped

talking to me.

I I thought you just

wanted to be friends.

How can you be my friend

if you hide

when I need you most?

I'm sorry, Kara.

I didn't understand

how you felt.

You did not ask.

Clark, we did it!

We saved the city.

Jimmy and I won the award.

-And you

-I didn't do anything, Lois.

You saved the kids.

Jimmy defeated Dr. Poison.

Kara saved the city.

All I did was get shot

and locked in a closet.

Metropolis needed a hero,

and all I could give them

was Clark Kent.

Hey, I love Clark Kent.

Well, he's no Superman.

Clark, you can't spend

the rest of your life

comparing yourself to someone

you might never be again.

And what am I supposed to do?

Who am I supposed to be?

Huh?
