Quotes

Store clerk: Superman.
Superman: Yes. May I have all your money, please?
Store clerk: What?
Superman: Yeah, I mean yes. I must have all the money in your cash register.
Store clerk: Well, sure, if you need it. Only, could you give me a receipt?
Superman: Thank you. (Superman walks away)
Store clerk: I know you'll bring it back, only... Superman. Holy cow. (edit)
(Reading headlines from another news paper.)
Perry: "Superman Turns Supercrook - Robbed store of $165."
Clark: Oh Chief, it just can't be true. It must be a hoax of some kind. Must be some new type of publicity.
Jimmy: Jeepers, you don't think Superman would actually go and steal from someone, do ya?
Perry: Of course I know it's not true. But look, every paper in town has published it except us. And where there's smoke there's some kind of fire. (edit)
