Apokolips... Now!: Part I (1998)

Joseph Bologna: Dan Turpin

Quotes 

• Dan Turpin : You know, Superman, I play a pretty good game, but, uh, not in this league. I don't know what we would have done without you.

  Superman : [glancing at Orion]  I'm not the one to thank.

• Guard : A late-night deposit, Inspector?

  Maggie Sawyer : Yeah, some freshly laundered money we swept up in our latest raid.

  Dan Turpin : [getting out of an armored truck]  Won't those Intergang bums ever learn Turpin's first law? You play in my backyard, you play by my rules.

  Maggie Sawyer : [sarcastic]  Modest, isn't he?

• Orion : I'm here to offer my assistance in the coming battle.

  Dan Turpin : Well, strap on your six-gun, space cowboy. Your playmates are attacking Sinnott Air Force Base.

• Superman : How's our mysterious visitor doing, Emil?

  Professor Hamilton : His wounds are healing at a phenomenal rate. He's fully conscious, and in quite a rage to see...

  Orion : [throwing a guard out of his room]  SUPERMAN! Get me Superman!

  Dan Turpin : [drawing his gun]  Freeze, buckethead! One more move and you're back in intensive care.

  Superman : Hold it, Inspector. Everybody calm down.

  Orion : I didn't fight my way through a battalion of parademons to be told to calm down!

  Dan Turpin : [to Hamilton]  And they say I got a temper.

• Dan Turpin : [seeing the explosion at a nuclear power plant]  Holy Hannah!

  Superman : Orion was right. It isn't over.

• Maggie Sawyer : [in the hospital]  Hi.

  Toby Raynes : Hi, yourself.

  Dan Turpin : Lying down on the job, huh?

  Maggie Sawyer : Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug.

  Dan Turpin : Forget it. You'll be back busting my chops in no time.

  Maggie Sawyer : Any leads on the heist?

  Dan Turpin : Got our best people working on it. I... I mean, besides you.

  [Maggie suddenly groans in pain] 

  Dan Turpin : Maggie, I swear I'll find those filthy creeps. And when I do...

  Maggie Sawyer : Dan, these aren't simple street punks.

  Dan Turpin : Punks are punks, Maggie. I am gonna...

  Maggie Sawyer : No! Promise me you'll keep that temper in check. *Promise*.

  Dan Turpin : You got it. Turpin's word.

  Maggie Sawyer : I'm gonna hold you to that, Dan, 'cause it's all on you now.

• Lois Lane : So you're saying not even Superman could stop this thing?

  Dan Turpin : I'm saying we can't always expect one guy to save our sorry butts, even if he is Superman. This time, we'll have to tackle it ourselves.

  Lois Lane : [more to herself]  Good luck.

  Clark Kent : [surreptitiously using his powers to glance at writing on the tank]  It almost looks... alien.

  Lois Lane : [sarcastic]  Sure, Kent. Maybe it was a Martian strapped for cash.
