Tempus: [Lois slaps him across the face] Well I was wondering how long it would take to get to that part of the interview?
Lois Lane: You are dirt. You are filth. You're pocket lint. You're pocket lint in the pockets of lawyers.
Tempus: Oh calm down. You want a martini?
Lois Lane: No I don't want a martini. Tempus don't you realize that if I was able to block out this John Doe hypnosis then others can too? And we will bring you down.
Tempus: No you won't. You are alone Lois. The only other living soul who knows the truth about me is Clark and whoops he's not living anymore is he?
Lois Lane: Yes he is. He's coming back.
Tempus: What do you think this is, a family television show? Only unhappy endings allowed here, Lois. Let's see, I could shoot you or hang you on the spot but what's the fun in that? Why you're the only sane one in the asylum darlin'. Between that and losing your husband you should be crawling the walls in no time.
Lois Lane: This interview's over. You don't get it do you? You can't stamp out goodness. You might take the whole world into night but a little sliver of light is gonna come through and will have you.
Tempus: You make a very attractive widow.
