- Clark Kent: Hi.
- Lois Lane: Hi. Oh, God, this is exactly why we shouldn't go out.
- Clark Kent: All I said was, "Hi."
- Lois Lane: Yes, I know, and a dozen thoughts went through my mind: You know, how's my makeup? Do I smell good? Do I have coffee breath? See, and all that was just with you saying hi. What's gonna happen when you start saying words with more than one syllable?
- Clark Kent: What did they put in your coffee this morning?
- Lois Lane: Clark I'm just, just trying to say I'm afraid things will change if we start going out.
- Clark Kent: Well if it makes you feel any better Lois, I'm afraid too.
- Lois Lane: Oh! Oh I'm so glad that you said that! Thank you.
- Bobby Bigmouth: I want you to know how happy I am for you and that that there are a lot of people out there that are really pulling for this to work out.
- Lois Lane: What people?
- Bobby Bigmouth: What, did you think it was a big secret that Clark here has been mooning over you?
- Clark Kent: I wouldn't say "mooning" exactly.
- Clark Kent: Uh, Lois, I want to ask you something.
- Lois Lane: Ooh, I'm not going to like it, am I?
- Clark Kent: What makes you say that?
- Lois Lane: You've got that tone in your voice. You know, when people are uncomfortable, like when they want to borrow your car, or money, your clothes?
- Clark Kent: Uh, okay, you got me, I wanna borrow your clothes.
- Lois Lane: I bet you'd look real cute in black chiffon.
- Clark Kent: What I wanna say is I...
- Lois Lane: I know what you want, Clark.
- Clark Kent: You do?
- Lois Lane: I know you a lot better than you think. How much do you need?
- Clark Kent: What? No, I don't want money, Lois.
- Lois Lane: Clark, you don't have to be embarrassed. That's what friends are for. Just tell me how much.
- Clark Kent: Lois, I want you to go out with me!
- Lois Lane: What? You're asking me out?
- Clark Kent: Yeah, you know, like on a date.
- Lois Lane: A date? You mean like a real date? Where I take out my good perfume, the one that I got after I saw "Love Affair," the good one not the remake, and I put a dab behind my knee, I don't even know why?
- Clark Kent: Yeah. I guess that's what I'm saying.
- Lois Lane: Clark, that's...I mean...I don't know what to say.
- Clark Kent: Most people choose yes or no.
- [talking about Lois and Clark]
- Jimmy Olsen: You know, I think that's the first time I've ever heard them agree on anything.
- Perry White: Yeah, well, a budding romance will do that for you.
- Jimmy Olsen: How did you know that?
- Perry White: Jimmy, I did not become editor of a major newspaper because I can yodel.
- Clark Kent: [seeing Lois attempting to clean up a spill] What happened?
- Lois Lane: Oh, I had a muscle - a mishap. I had a mishap.
- [at the same time]
- Lois Lane: I'll take Bender, you take the bomb squad.
- Clark Kent: You take Bender, I'll take the bomb squad.
- Clark Kent: Lois, I'm just trying to ask you out. I'm not trying to negotiate a nuclear arms treaty.
- Clark Kent: Maybe Sheldon Bender knows something.
- Jimmy Olsen: Luthor's attorney? Why him?
- Clark Kent: Well, its just... God knows everything and attorneys seem to think they're God.
- Rollie Vale: In case you hadn't noticed, I'm in prison. What are you gonna do? Charge me with being rude?
- Lex Luthor: [in disguise] You know, I have something for you. Information about Lex Luthor and the woman who stole his body.
- Lois Lane: Who are you?
- Lex Luthor: Do you know the story of the phoenix?
- Lois Lane: Yes. A sacred bird, reborn. Rising from its own ashes.
- Lex Luthor: That's right. When I was a little boy my mother told me that story. And I-I always liked the part where he... came back from the dead.
- [showing himself as Lex]
- Lex Luthor: It's good to see you again, Lois. Did you think I wouldn't come back for you? Yes, look at me. I've lost everything: my fortune, my reputation. Everything but my feeling for you. We must take the miracle of my resurrection as a sign. As a sign that even death can't keep us apart.
- Lois Lane: How is this-?
- Lex Luthor: No, don't question a miracle. We're together again. That's all that matters.
- Clark Kent: Why do you suppose someone would kidnap Bender?
- Lois Lane: Can't be for money. Who would pay ransom for a lawyer?
