Quotes 

• Lois Lane : I need a new partner.

  Perry White : I knew it. One bad date, there goes my whole news room. Why don't you just shoot me now, send me up to Elvis?

  Lois Lane : Perry... .

  Perry White : No, no, no, Lois, don't say it. You know, I have stood on the sidelines, hoping against hope that Mother Nature would smile on you two, that the bluebird of happiness would come down light on your shoulder, that four-leaf clovers would sprout up wherever you walked, and all the time my gut is singing a different aria.

  Lois Lane : Perry... .

  Perry White : Lois, anybody with half a hemisphere can see that you two are gasoline and fire, TNT and matches, two trains headed toward...

  Lois Lane : Perry! Thank you. The problem is we didn't have a bad date. It was a really great date, and now I'm completely panicked, and I have no idea what to do next.

• Clark Kent : Lois, I don't really know exactly how to say this, but why did you come back to me tonight to the factory? I mean, you were running back into an atomic explosion.

  Lois Lane : I know, it doesn't make too much sense, does it? I guess I just couldn't leave you there.

  Clark Kent : You slammed the door in my face last night.

  Lois Lane : That was a mistake.

  Clark Kent : [jokingly]  Don't let it happen again.

  Lois Lane : I guess we'll, um, just have to see how things go, won't we?

  Clark Kent : Fortunately, there's no doors here tonight.

  Lois Lane : Fortunately.

  [they kiss their first "real" kiss] 

• Clark Kent : People shouldn't have to live up to other people's expectations.

  Lois Lane : Oh, come on, we do it all the time.

  Clark Kent : For example?

  Lois Lane : For example, you're not going to wear that to dinner tonight, are you? You're gonna go home and change because we both have expectations about how each other's going to look. You'll be wearing something elegant, not too dark, charcoal suit. And I will be dressed in deep violet.

  Clark Kent : Burgundy.

  Lois Lane : Burgundy?

  Clark Kent : Or violet.

  Lois Lane : That's what you've always dreamed of seeing me in, burgundy? I don't have much in burgundy. Um, maybe if I hurry, I can make it to Neiman's before they close.

  Clark Kent : Lois, you don't have to do that.

  Lois Lane : No, no, wait, what time are you picking me up? 8? Uh, make it 8:15. Oh, no, forget it, that's a bad way to start a date, being late. 7:45. No, 8, I don't want you to think I'm flaky changing my mind all the time.

• Lois Lane : Clark, I had a really nice time.

  Clark Kent : So did I.

  Lois Lane : No, I mean I had a *really* nice time. Probably one of the best times I've ever had. It wasn't the funniest or the wildest...

  Clark Kent : Don't knock yourself out, Lois...

  Lois Lane : It just... seemed to... work. It was really nice. That's why I can never see you again!

  [she slams the door in his face] 

  Clark Kent : Lois?

• Clark Kent : The only time people ever really seem to express themselves is when they're passionate and the polite veneer of society drops off. You know, like when they're fighting...

  Lois Lane : Or make love... oh, my gosh.

• Clark Kent : Why wouldn't the Chief want us to tell Jimmy that he said that?

  Lois Lane : It's one of those father/son things.

  Clark Kent : Oh, really?

  Lois Lane : Sure, it's classic. Men are uncomfortable expressing their emotions directly. It's just like the father/daughter thing, only, when you finally do talk, you use more sports metaphors.

  Clark Kent : Ha, that's ridiculous.

  [Perry sticks his head out of his office] 

  Perry White : Clark, if Jimmy calls, tell him I know it feels like the bottom of the ninth with two outs and two strikes against him but that the Planet is gonna mount a full-court press, and we won't stop until it's game, set, match, Olsen.

• Mayson Drake : Stop the presses! I've always wanted to say that in a newsroom.

  Lois Lane : Nobody ever says that, you know. It's just on television.

  Mayson Drake : Well, sure, but it still felt good.

• Lois Lane : Clark Kent, the rebel without a flaw.

• Lois Lane : [to Clark]  You can read lips from here? I thought I was good. What else can you do that I don't know about?
