Lane Smith: Perry White

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 : 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.
