- 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!
- 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: And that's how come I was so late getting back here, Spewgie.
- Emperor Spooj: I knew you'd never let me down, Lobo, despite rumors to the contrary. But what about Superman and the rest of those creatures?
- Lobo: That's the weirdest part. Me, I'd have let the critters drift, or maybe host a three-year barbecue. Not old Supes. Said he had a place all picked out for 'em.
- [on Earth, Superman arrives at the Fortress of Solitude, where the creatures are safely enclosed]
- Lobo: I guess that boy's just a sucker for hard-luck cases.
- 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.
- Emperor Spooj: I can't believe it. Not only has Lobo failed to deliver your thieving brother Sqweek, but now you tell me that Lobo's taken a bribe to let Sqweek escape.
- Gnaww: It's true, Emperor Spewge, on my honor as a bounty hunter.
- Emperor Spooj: Ahh! Lobo has broken his word. He'll pay for that! Find him, Gnaww. Drag Lobo and that worthless brother of yours back here, alive or in pieces!
- 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.
