David Kaufman: Jimmy Olsen

Quotes 

• Policewoman : Then about an hour ago, I just started feeling better. My doctor says I can go home tomorrow.

  Jimmy Olsen : Then the Parasite's drain is temporary. Hey, you figure Superman's out there feeling better, too?

  Clark Kent : [surreptitiously bending a metal pole and back]  Jimmy, I wouldn't be surprised.

• Commissioner Henderson : She must have been delirious when our boys found her. She said something about being attacked by a purple monster.

  Jimmy Olsen : Was its name Barney?

  Commissioner Henderson : You here to make 'haha', kid, or take pictures?

  Jimmy Olsen : I guess that's a 'no'...

• Jimmy Olsen : Superman!

  Superman : Jimmy, quick! Where are we?

  Jimmy Olsen : You don't know? You're in S.T.A.R. Labs. The cellar or something.

  Superman : Go up and get help. You can't stay here. He'll be back any minute.

  Jimmy Olsen : [trying to wrench the chains binding Superman off with a crowbar]  I can get you outta here.

  Superman : [hearing Parasite approaching]  He's back! Quick, hide!

• Perry White : It's been a week, people. This is a newspaper. We need facts. Where does Parasite disappear to? Is Superman alive or dead? And where the heck is Kent? Is he still out sick?

  Jimmy Olsen : I was just noticing, Parasite always flies south, along the coast. That's right toward S.T.A.R., where he used to work.

  Perry White : The police thought of that the first day.

  Lois Lane : Besides, kid, it's not like the guy's going back to work.

  Jimmy Olsen : But maybe the cops haven't checked out S.T.A.R. lately. Somebody should go down there.

  Perry White : [ushering him out]  And somebody should be getting his photos to Layout before he misses the evening edition.

  Jimmy Olsen : But, chief...

  Perry White : [closing the door]  Okay, where were we? Troupe, what's your excuse? Weaver, justify your existence. Lois...

• Angela Chen : Since this morning, the thing that was once Rudy Jones has been sighted throughout the city, taking what he pleases and driving citizens into their homes in fear. I spoke personally with Professor Emil Hamilton of S.T.A.R. Labs to find out how a simple janitor could clean out Metropolis.

  Professor Emile Hamilton : The... the chemical Mr. Jones stole was developed to catalyze energy absorption in human cells. But clearly, he was exposed to far greater quantities than we'd ever tested on living subjects.

  Angela Chen : And now that this Parasite has sucked up all of Superman's powers, how much longer 'til he sucks our city dry?

  Jimmy Olsen : [watching on TV, Clark sneezes]  Wow. That sounds pretty bad.

  Clark Kent : I'm just fighting a bit of a cold.

  Jimmy Olsen : No. I-I mean this Parasite thing. I wonder where Superman is.

  Clark Kent : I'm sure he'd be here if he could.
