Superboy (TV Series)

Countdown to Nowhere (1988)

James Calvert: T.J. White

Quotes 

• T.J. White : [at a protest rally]  You'll never get interviews over all this noise.

  Clark Kent : Oh, yeah? Watch me. A good reporter hears everything.

• T.J. White : Lana, wh-where is it he comes from?

  Lana Lang : Up there. Isn't he wonderful?

  T.J. White : Who... who is he? I-I mean, does he have a name?

  Lana Lang : Said he's called Superboy.

  T.J. White : You know, he reminds me of somebody.

• Clark Kent : Poly Sci 3 on the march again?

  Lana Lang : Hi, Clark. Why don't you help us out and get involved here?

  Clark Kent : I don't get involved in the issues. I only report 'em.

  Lana Lang : Well, then report this. They're experimenting with engines of death in that building.

  T.J. White : Hey, hey. Say that again, Lana, but next time why don't you punch him in the nose and do it, huh? I mean, I can see the caption now: "Irate Picket Belts School Reporter", huh? Ready?

  Lana Lang : Cut the clowning, T.J.! Why don't you drop your camera and pick up a sign?

  T.J. White : Hey, like Clark said, I'm the media, not the message.

• Clark Kent : Rumor has it you're gonna stage a sit-in.

  T.J. White : I mean, everybody knows what it was like in the '60s, huh? You try to take over that building, Lana, you're gonna end up in jail. And your dad's gonna be real proud of that.

  Lana Lang : Well, they can't put us in jail. We're exercising our democratic right to protest. Like my dad did in the '60s, and he would be proud. Look, even the football jocks are concerned with the issue. You two mashed-potato brains should be ashamed of yourselves.
