“Well, excuse me for not jumping up and down singing Kum-ba-yah til Kingdom Come. I’d rather just stop you right here. Un-like civilized Cryptonians if you please. I also wouldn’t mind riddling you til you just explode from thinking too hard. Which one do you pick?”

“Excellent! Gives me opportunities to just drive people mad! Don’t you like doing that?””Never tried.”
