- [Three members of the Legion of Superheroes confronts Brainiac]
- Brainiac: Chameleon Boy. Cosmic Boy. Saturn Girl. Where are the other Legionnaires?
- Chameleon Boy: Hey, it's only you.
- Scientist: Didn't you hear me? I have no way of bringing you back.
- Cosmic Boy: Let us worry about that.
- Scientist: This is crazy.
- Chameleon Boy: You asked for heroes. You didn't say anything about sanity.
- Lana Lang: What's this strange power you have?
- Young Clark Kent: What do you mean?
- Lana Lang: The ability to attract every airhead in Smallville.
- Kenny Braverman: [to Clark] Hey, Mr. Varsity!
- Young Clark Kent: Airheads aren't the only ones.
- Cosmic Boy: Wouldn't hurt to have a disguise.
- Saturn Girl: Hold still.
- [puts glasses on Clark]
- Saturn Girl: Well?
- Young Clark Kent: Like a pair of glasses is gonna fool anyone.
- Cosmic Boy: It better.
- Cosmic Boy: Brainiac's trying to alter our past.
- Chameleon Boy: And your future.
- Saturn Girl: He wants to kill you before you ever become Superman.
- Young Clark Kent: "Super" who?
- Chameleon Boy: Superman! You!
- [changes his form into Superman]
- Young Clark Kent: Red underpants? Now I know you're crazy.
- Kenny Braverman: Whoa. Check out Darth Vader.
- [to Brainiac]
- Kenny Braverman: Qua pasa, man? Take a wrong turn at Tatooine?
- Young Clark Kent: So they don't remember anything that happened last night?
- Saturn Girl: Nothing. I blocked everyone's memories, then made them think the damage was done by a storm.
- Young Clark Kent: Well, it's just as well. I don't know how I'd explain any of it. What happens now?
- Cosmic Boy: We're gonna use the computer in Brainiac's hoverchair to get us back to our own time.
- Young Clark Kent: Then I won't be seeing you again.
- Saturn Girl: Don't look so sad. You'll hardly miss us.
- Young Clark Kent: What, are you kidding? After all you've shown me?
- Chameleon Boy: [she uses her powers to wipe his memory] Aw, just when we were getting to be buds.
- Cosmic Boy: It's not right for a person to know his own future.
- Saturn Girl: Yes. He needs to find his own way.
- Chameleon Boy: [they all board the hoverchair] Up, up, and away! Heh. I always wanted to say that.
- Lana Lang: You just had to show him how tough you are.
- Young Clark Kent: Guess I don't know my own strength.
- Lana Lang: Maybe you should learn.
- Young Clark Kent: Hey, it's not like a meant to hurt him. It's just that, uh... I've been going through some changes lately.
- Lana Lang: [walking away in a huff] Me, too!
- Young Clark Kent: [being attacked by Brainiac] Stop! There's no reason!
- Brainiac: Ah, but there will be, Kal-El. There will be.
- Saturn Girl: I realize all this is hard to take in, and maybe we do seem a little...
- Young Clark Kent: Um, freaky?
- Saturn Girl: But if you just open your mind.
- [using her powers on him]
- Saturn Girl: The 30th century is an age of unparalleled peace and prosperity. But none of this would have been possible without you.
- Young Clark Kent: Me?
- Saturn Girl: Superman showed us that beings from different worlds could work together for a greater good. This is the principle on which the Legion of Super-Heroes was founded. But Brainiac would tear all this apart. He's a living computer who destroys whole planets. Superman stopped him, but after years of dormancy, Brainiac managed to reassemble himself. He's made his way back here to destroy you.
- Cosmic Boy: We've gotta stop him. Our past depends on it. And your future.
- Scientist: I didn't know what to do, so I called the Legion of Super-Heroes.
- Chameleon Boy: Well, it's a little late. What do you need heroes for if the villain's gone?
- Scientist: Well, he's not exactly gone. Look. It's a temporal anomaly. Brainiac made it by rewiring the circuits, then overloading them.
- Cosmic Boy: Where does it lead?
- Scientist: It could be anywhere. And any time.
- Saturn Girl: That means Brainiac could be changing the past. Or destroying the future.
- Lana Lang: Hey, Clark. Come on, we're gonna be late for class. Where'd you get those?
- Young Clark Kent: [putting on the glasses in his hand] Uh, I'm not sure. Well, what do you think? Are they me?
- Lana Lang: You are so weird.
- Brainiac: Where does Clark Kent live?
- Kenny Braverman: Clark? Wh-what is this?
- Brainiac: Insufficient response.
- [he throws Kenny through the diner door; in the middle of the street, a big rig brakes to avoid them, but Brainiac uses his powers to flip it over]
- Brainiac: I repeat: where does...
- Kenny Braverman: State Road 7. Where it dead-ends.
- Brainiac: Thank you.
- Cosmic Boy: [arriving in the past] Well, we're here. Wherever that is.
- Chameleon Boy: And whenever.
- Saturn Girl: Over here.
- [showing them a sign that Smallville is five miles away]
- Saturn Girl: I think I know what Brainiac's up to now. And if I'm right, we don't have much time.
- Brainiac: At last, the son of Jor-El kneels before me. This time, history will show that I am the superior survivor of Krypton.
- Young Clark Kent: Pa!
- Jonathan Kent: [jumping] Jeez! You almost gave me a heart attack.
- Martha Kent: You have a visitor.
- Young Clark Kent: I just, uh...
- Lana Lang: [coming in] Hi, Clark.
- Young Clark Kent: Hi.
- Lana Lang: I needed to tell you that I'm sorry for walking away from you. It's just that...
- Martha Kent: [leading him away to give them privacy] Uh, Jonathan? Aren't "The Dukes of Hazzard" on now?
- Cosmic Boy: [fighting Brainiac at the Kent farm] We'll take it from here.
- Young Clark Kent: This guy's mine.
- Chameleon Boy: Not tonight.
- Chameleon Boy: [avoiding one of Brainiac's drones] That was close.
- Cosmic Boy: [seeing Clark is gone] Hey. He ran away. He... he didn't believe us.
- Chameleon Boy: It wasn't like this in the history tapes.
- Kenny Braverman: You may have made All-State, Kent, but I can burn your butt any day of the week.
- Young Clark Kent: Oh, yeah, Kenny? How about any night?
- Kenny Braverman: You mean now? Okay, let's do it.
- Lana Lang: Clark, this is a dance.
- Young Clark Kent: Kareem here says he can burn my butt. I don't think he's even got a match.
