as much as this pains me to say I think the president should consider postponing his visit.

Now, may I have the photoconductive cell, please?
Do not make me ask again or the consequences will not be pretty.
- That wasn't so hard, was it?
- I guess not.
Now, pick it up again, but slowly this time because you gotta face those fears, Victor.
You gotta get down and you gotta pick...
Not a word.
Not a word.
Down you go.
Face those fears.
Good boy, Victor.
He's a good boy.
- You're a good boy.
- Why do we have to stay here?
Can't we hide in a place that's a little nicer?
- I'll tell you, this is a condemned building.
No one can find us here which I find to be a pretty good ingredient for a hideout.
All right.
All new and improved.
All we have to do is come up with a micro step-up transformer.
Did you locate one?
- Yes, yes.
Yes, I did.
- And where is it?
At the Metropolis Department...
Of...?
- Light and Power.
- Yeah, and do they have one?
Yes.
They just installed them in their master switcher.
Goody.
When Griffin's father got out of jail, he sold the store and disappeared.
And that warehouse you caught Griffin in, they turned that into a Buddhist temple.
- Thanks, Jimmy.
Keep searching.
- You got it.
- Miss Lane?
- Yes.
Carrigan.
Secret Service.
You phoned our office.
Oh, yes.
You didn't have to come down here.
You could've just called me back.
I never use the phone.
Commies can tap phones.
Now, what is all this about?
I'm the reporter that's going to be interviewing the president.
- We know that.
- Of course you do.
Well, I just wanted to make you aware of the fact that we have a minor situation that's developed with a small-time criminal.
If it's about The Prankster, we know about it.
Oh, you do.
Oh, then there's no problem.
There's always a problem.
There is?
No one thought there was a problem when Carter went fishing until that killer rabbit came out of nowhere and charged his rowboat.
Killer rabbit.
Yeah, I get it, that's good.
Twenty-first April, '79.
I should've been there but I took the day off that day.
I went to the dentist.
Impacted tooth.
If you wanna take care of the president, you've got to take care of your teeth.
I see.
Well, I can see that with you and your men protecting him the president has nothing to worry about.
Clark, I want you to meet Mr. Carrigan from the Secret Service.
He says that he and his men have everything under control.
Oh, good.
Then you're not worried about this freezing weapon?
Weapon.
It's not a weapon.
It's an invention.
It seems to freeze people in place very temporarily.
It's really harmless.
Sort of a '90s version of that kid's game, freeze tag.
Oh, God, what am I saying?
Anyway, I get nervous, you know.
The presidential...
- Lois, that's not exactly...
- What?
You weren't there.
He wasn't there.
He doesn't know.
Mr. Carrigan is a trained professional.
The police are looking for The Prankster.
And Superman, I'm sure, is on the job.
The president would probably be safer here than in the White House.
And what do you know about the White House, ma'am?
Nothing.
Nothing.
It was just an example, you know.
I could've said safer than a bug in the rug.
Or two peas in a pod.
Are you on any type of medication, ma'am?
- Who are you?
- The painter.
The city decided this place needed a little sprucing up.
- Let me see your work order.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
