Bruce Weitz: Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim

Quotes 

• The Toyman : Now the real fun begins. You're going to play... reporter! This time, I want you to take good notes.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : [descended from the ceiling like a marionette]  You just made the biggest mistake of your life, you miserable little freak! I mean it, Schott. I got friends. They'll find you!

  [Toyman's toy soldiers move forward and aim their rifles] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : On the other hand, maybe we can make a deal.

  [Toyman blindfolds him] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Aah!

  The Toyman : No peeking now.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Please, don't!

  Lois Lane : You can't be serious.

  The Toyman : Deadly serious, Ms. Lane. Playtime is over. Ready... aim...

  [Lois pushes him out of the way] 

  The Toyman : Hey!

  [she pushes over one toy soldier, which dominoes and knocks the others down] 

  The Toyman : [picking up one of the toy rifles]  Ahh! You broke my toys! You spoiled my fun!

• The Toyman : [waving a giant bubble-blowing wand]  How does the saying go? Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Yeah, it's you, Winslow. Same creepy voice. I don't know how you came back from the dead, but it's gonna be a short visit.

  The Toyman : [the bubbles pop, releasing knockout gas, and Bruno falls to the ground]  Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

• Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : That creep made me into a laughingstock. How could you let him get so close?

  Thug : You wouldn't let us in the park, boss, remember?

  Thug : You was afraid we'd scare the kids.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : He's out there, the slimy little weasel. Thinks he's gonna make me pay.

  [hearing the water bubbling] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : What?

  [a giant toy duck emerges] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : What are you waiting for? Shoot it.

  Thug : It's a big ducky.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Shoot it!

• Clark Kent : [after saving Lois from Toyman as Superman]  You sure you're okay?

  Lois Lane : Yeah. He was a sicko, Kent, but I can't help feeling sorry for him.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : He was a loser, a walking freak show, like his old man. This is one funeral I'll skip.

  Cop : I'm not sure there's gonna be a funeral. My people still haven't found the body. However, they did find this.

  [showing them an evidence baggie containing the broken pieces of Toyman's mask] 

• Superman : Little boys shouldn't play with sharp objects.

  The Toyman : Who invited you, Superman?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Superman? Superman, is that you?

  The Toyman : Don't think I haven't prepared a surprise for you. Here's something you can't break.

  Superman : [getting hit with a Play-Doh-like substance]  Very funny, Toyman.

  [it starts to mutate and envelop him] 

  Superman : Huh?

  The Toyman : Uh, maybe you should read the warning. Dopey Doh is a lethal biogenic organism. Contact with the skin can prove fatal. It won't stop growing until it asphyxiates its host. Not for children under three.

  Superman : [she approaches to help]  Lois, no! Don't touch it!

  Lois Lane : What can I do?

  Superman : Get back. Find something to hide behind. Hurry!

• Lois Lane : Mr. Mannheim, Lois Lane, Daily Planet. Any comments on this morning's armored car hijacking?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Why would I have a comment? I'm a legitimate businessman.

  Lois Lane : Of course. And you have no knowledge of someone calling himself the Toyman?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a respected citizen. And I don't appreciate your little insinuations.

  Clark Kent : [seeing toy planes buzzing in the air, which arm real machine guns]  Look out!
