Quotes
-
Maxima : Of course, now you'll have to marry me.
Superman : Uh, you can't just barge in and make demands like that.
Maxima : Why not? On my planet, I do it all the time.
Superman : Well, this isn't Almanac.
Maxima : Almerac.
Superman : Whatever. Here on Earth, marriage isn't something you can command. Marriage is a willing partnership where husbands and wives share the decisions and sacrifices.
Lucille : What planet is he from?
Superman : You can't force me to marry you.
Maxima : Watch me.
[as she zaps him, he drops to his knees]
Maxima : Sooner or later, I knew you'd fall for me.
-
Maxima : Sazu. Call the Minster of Rituals. My betrothed and I are ready to...
[she's surprised to see De'Cine seated on the throne]
Sazu : [just as surprised] My lady!
Maxima : My throne! Arrest them at once.
De'Cine : No, Maxima. I think not. Guards!
Superman : [he and Maxima are surrounded] You sure you're queen?
-
Superman : I know you're upset, but...
[dodging a television camera thrown at him]
Superman : Now, wait a minute. Someone's gonna get hurt.
Maxima : Yeah. You!
[knocking him through the floor]
Maxima : Loser. And I had such high hopes.
[as she prepares to leave, he flies back up through the hole; grabbing her, he crashes through the roof]
Maxima : [struggling as he restrains her] So, you have some life in you after all.
-
Superman : You know I can't stay here, Maxima.
Maxima : [whining] Oh! Very well. I release you from our betrothal. You're free to go.
Superman : [she opens a portal] Thanks.
Maxima : Are there any more at home like you?
Superman : No, but as my mother always said, "there's someone for everyone."
Lobo : [after a moment of silence, he crashes through the ceiling] I'm here to get that fraggin', scum-suckin', rat-scratching De'Cine, and nobody had better stop me.
Maxima : [smitten] Yow!
-
Maxima : This time, De'Cine, it's no game. This time, I kill you.
Superman : [warningly] Maxima.
Maxima : I don't kill him?
[he shakes his head]
Maxima : I... lock him up?
[he nods]
Maxima : For a really long time. Sazu.
Sazu : Yes, mistress?
Maxima : Escort the prisoner to one of the really nasty dungeons. One with plenty of rats.
-
Sazu : Forgive me, my lady. He deceived me. I... I was a fool.
Maxima : [raising her sword] A dead fool.
Superman : [stopping her] No.
Maxima : I'm still queen here, head of the royal house, leader of all Almerac.
Superman : But you can't just go around killing people.
Maxima : I have the power to do as I please.
Superman : And the responsibility to do what is right. As leader, you serve the people. They don't serve you. Now, where are we?
Maxima : Miles underground. I used to use these ancient tunnels as a prison.
Superman : [sarcastic] No wonder you're so popular.
