Quotes 

• [after Superman lets him out] 

  Lobo : Hey, Blue. Thanks.

  [punches him] 

  Superman : What was that for?

  Lobo : Didn't want you to think I'd gone soft.

• Superman : If I let you out, do you swear to leave me and everyone else on Earth in peace?

  Lobo : The Main Man's word is his bond, man... AH!

  [He ducks aside as Superman punches a hole in the glass] 

• [as Superman and Lobo are chased by robot guards] 

  Superman : We need a decoy to draw their fire.

  Lobo : [pushing him out]  E-lected!

• Lobo : Come on, man, they've got me so stuffed with gas I can barely move! I gotta get out of here!

  Superman : So you can attack the Earth again? I don't think so.

  [walks away] 

  Lobo : All right, I don't need you! I'm the Main Man! You hear me, you rag-fragging geekwad?

  Alien Girls : Oh, my... such language.

  [the girls extend their gas nozzles and spray Lobo] 

  Lobo : It might take me a week, it might take me ten years, but I'm gonna bust out...

  [coughing] 

  Lobo : And kick that big red "S" of yours all over the galaxy! Right after I'm done nuking the earth into *guacamole*! And that's a promise!

• Lobo : [In a Preserver-induced hallucination]  Man, I don't know where I am or how I got here, but I'm glad I...

  [he walks into the wall of his cage, bringing him back to reality] 

  Lobo : Oof!

  Superman : [from the next cage]  Morning.

  Lobo : Suddenly, it's all coming back to me.

• [Superman and Lobo are dodging blaster fire from bounty hunters in the Collector's zoo] 

  Superman : Friends of yours?

  Lobo : My bridge club.

• Gnaww : Now, what were you up to?

  [hearing a bird screech] 

  Gnaww : Oh, I get it. You were gonna sic one of the Preserver's bloodthirsty beasts on us. Well, maybe we'll let whatever's in there rip into you.

  Superman : You don't wanna do that.

  Gnaww : Oh, yes, we do. Throw him in.

  [Superman is thrown into an enclosure; after a moment, a bird emerges from a pair of bushes] 

  Gnaww : That's a bloodthirsty beast?

  Superman : Not quite. It's a dodo from Earth.

  Gnaww : Earth?

  [Superman soaks in the radiation from the enclosure's artificial yellow sun] 

  Gnaww : Uh-oh.

• Superman : Thanks for returning my uniform. Now how about my ship?

  Preserver : Impossible. For ages, I have preserved many rare creatures, even some from your adopted planet, Earth.

  Superman : I'm not an animal to be stuck in a cage.

  Preserver : Normally, I don't take sentient beings, but you and Lobo are all that survive from your respective homeworlds. The Czarnian seems to be adjusting to his new surroundings. I suggest you do the same.

• Lobo : I think I stepped in something.

  [sinking a little into sand, he's then picked up and thrown into a wall by the tail of a large serpent-like monster] 

  Lobo : [Superman saves him from another strike]  Thanks. I owe you.

  [the monster knocks Superman down and lifts him to its mouth] 

  Lobo : Whoa. That's gonna hurt.

  Superman : [holding its mouth open]  Lobo, thought you said you owed me.

  Lobo : What, now? Oh, whoopty-fraggin'-do.

• Lobo : Soon as that gas wears off, I'm grinding that Preserver geek into kibble and feeding him to his varmints.

  Superman : We should just get our ships and leave.

  Lobo : You want to run? Fine. Your wimpy little toy rocket is in the south hangar, right where I left it. Me, I'm staying to feed Wrinkles 31 different flavors of pain.

  Preserver : [watching a surveillance monitor]  I give the lessons in discipline here, Czarnian.

• Superman : [after being zapped by the Preserver's robotic guards]  Thanks, big mouth.

  Lobo : I didn't know they were armed!

  Superman : [ducking more fire]  Neither one of us is back to full strength.

  Lobo : If they drag us back in those cages, they'll probably strap our butts to the floor with razor wire. Not that it ain't a pleasurable way to perk up an otherwise ho-hum evening, but I do have me that prisoner to deliver.
