- Lois Lane: [after consummating their marriage] Wow!
- Clark Kent: I know.
- Lois Lane: That was...
- Clark Kent: I mean...
- Lois Lane: Exactly. The only thing I'd like more is...
- Clark Kent: More?
- Lois Lane: Yes.
- [More passionate kissing]
- Clark Kent: You know, we could still make those reservations in Hawaii.
- Lois Lane: We are not leaving this room.
- [Pulls Clark close and kisses him again]
- [Lois and Clark passionately kissing in the elevator on the way to work]
- Lois Lane: How are we going to make it through the day?
- Clark Kent: [laughing] I don't know
- [kisses her again]
- Lois Lane: You'd think after two weeks...
- Clark Kent: But we waited so much longer than two weeks
- [kisses her again]
- Lois Lane: So was it worth it then? The wait, I mean.
- Clark Kent: Lois, it was perfect.
- [kisses her again]
- Clark Kent: It was better than perfect.
- [in between kisses]
- Clark Kent: At least... it was... for me.
- Lois Lane: Clark, it was super!
- Clark Kent: Okay good
- [they continue passionate kissing until the doors open]
- Lois Lane: So are you saying Superman won't age?
- Dr. Klein: No, of course he will. He's not immortal.
- Lois Lane: Well, so he will age, but just not like you or me?
- Dr. Klein: Well, it's all speculation, you understand, but I think it's safe to say, that long after you and I are dead and gone, Superman will still be in his prime, fighting for truth, justice...
- Lois Lane: And the American way.
- Lois Lane: Why is so much of your work focused on youth?
- Dr. Vita Duetsen: [laughing cynically] You're a woman, you should know. Oh, but then you're still young and vivacious. Probably never occurs to you one day those pimply faced box boys at the supermarket won't be in such a hurry to carry your bag for you.
- Lois Lane: Well, I carry my own bags. And I'm married.
- Dr. Vita Duetsen: Well let me tell you about married. Don't think a husband's eye won't wander once the bloom has gone off the rose. You'll get old, he'll get distinguished. Success makes a man attractive, youth makes women desirable. Success is attained, youth is lost. And those are the facts of life.
- Perry White: Jimmy! Where in the Sam Hill have you been, son?
- Jimmy Olsen: I'm not sure...
- Clark Kent: Jimmy, are you all right?
- Jimmy Olsen: Yeah, I'm - I'm fine, CK. ... I seem to recall a woman, tall... and rubber gloves.
- Perry White: [exchanges a glance with Clark] That's probably more information than we needed to know, son. Everybody deals with grief in their own way.
- Jimmy Olsen: She made me see lights.
- Perry White: I'm sure she did, son.
- [Clark stares grinning widely at Lois]
- Lois Lane: What?
- [Clark still grinning at Lois]
- Lois Lane: Oh it's not that far fetched.
- Clark Kent: No it's not. Actually it's very smart.
- Lois Lane: So what are you grinning at?
- Clark Kent: You. You are brilliant, and you're talented, you are gorgeous, and you are my wife. So I grin.
- Lois Lane: Well. You're not so bad yourself.
- [Clark hears an alarm]
- Lois Lane: What is it?
- Clark Kent: Alarm. Metropolis Prison.
- Lois Lane: I'll meet you at Star Labs.
- [Kisses Clark]
- Clark Kent: Oh!
- Lois Lane: What?
- Clark Kent: I just realized, this is the first time that you-know-who has separated us since we've been married.
- Lois Lane: [Loosens Clark's tie] Well when you see you-know-who you tell him I expect my husband back in one piece.
- [Kisses Clark again]
- Clark Kent: You know I have been thinking that we should talk about where we're going to live.
- Lois Lane: What do you mean?
- Clark Kent: I mean look at this place.
- [Looks around and sees all of Lois's furniture packed in with his]
- Lois Lane: It is pretty cluttered isn't it?
- Clark Kent: Looks like we're fencing stolen merchandise. Plus wouldn't it be nice to have a place that wasn't my place or your place but *our* place?
- Lois Lane: Our place. I like the sound of that.
- Lois Lane: Nice digs! Why do the bad guys always have such great places? Maybe they have the same real estate agent.
- Clark Kent: Lois Honey, she didn't upset you with her spew did she?
- Lois Lane: You heard all that? What am I saying of course you heard all that. You hear everything, you see everything, it's like being married to St Nick.
- Clark Kent: She's a bitter woman. She doesn't know us. I love you and we are going to grow old together.
- Lois Lane: No, we are not going to grow old together, I'm going to grow old... alone.
- [Sits down trying not to cry]
- Clark Kent: Honey what is this all about? Come on we are supposed to be able to tell each other everything.
- Lois Lane: Yeah. So why didn't you tell me about your molecular structure?
- Clark Kent: My what?
- Lois Lane: It probably doesn't mean that much to you because you, you know, fly and everything. But I get very emotional about my mortality. And I know how that sounds and it's not vanity. I don't mind growing old, honestly. I just don't want to wake up one morning and find out that you and I have been separated by time.
- Clark Kent: Lois I have no idea what you are talking about.
- Lois Lane: [Looks up at him] You don't do you? Dr. Klein told me that your molecular structure slows the aging process. So some day I'll be an old crone and you'll still be... Superman.
- Clark Kent: Well... Honey, even if it is true it won't change how I feel about you, nothing could ever change that.
- Lois Lane: I know that. We'll have a wonderful life together. But then after we have a wonderful life together, you'll just... have another one.
- Lois Lane: What's going on?
- Clark Kent: Nothing. Come here. Stand right there... I was right.
- Lois Lane: Clark what are we doing here?
- Clark Kent: I just had this vision of how you would look standing in the light from this window. I had to see.
- Lois Lane: Are you okay? What did Dr. Klein say?
- Clark Kent: ...Apparently my body has already compensated for whatever age drain there was.
- Lois Lane: Compensated. Then you have lost something?
- Clark Kent: My friend is healthy. I'm sitting here with my wife. I haven't lost anything.
- Lois Lane: But you gave up years.
- Clark Kent: I gave them up for a friend.
- Lois Lane: How many?
- Clark Kent: I don't know. The truth is no one knows how long they've got. Anyway it's not the years that count it's the moments right now as they happen.
- [He kisses Lois]
- Lois Lane: So how do you suggest we make the most out of this moment?
- Clark Kent: Maybe we could look at wallpaper samples.
- Lois Lane: Wallpaper samples?
- Clark Kent: Well what do you think for this room? Wood paneling? Aged down walls?
- Lois Lane: You didn't?
- Clark Kent: Well you seemed to really like the place. I mean it's in the city, it's got a lot of character plus it has a secret compartment which I have to tell you it's very very difficult to find in a building this style. All you have to do is say the word... its ours.
- Lois Lane: Well you know I love it, but is it you?
- Clark Kent: No... It's us.
- [Lois kisses him and he picks her up while they are kissing]
- Clark Kent: Alright, alright, let's have it. What's bugging you?
- Lois Lane: What are you talking about?
- Clark Kent: Come on Lois one second you're completely focused on this story and the next second you're somewhere else. What's wrong?
- Lois Lane: Nothing, really.
- Clark Kent: Hey I can tell when something's bothering you, you get these tiny little wrinkles okay?
- Lois Lane: Wrinkles? Wrinkles!
- [Rushes over to look in a mirror]
- Lois Lane: Oh where?
- Clark Kent: No Honey that's not what I meant. Lois look, Honey, is this about us looking for a new place?
- [Conversation is interrupted]
- Lois Lane: You're obsessing.
- Clark Kent: Well it bothers me. I mean a bank robber...
- Lois Lane: Clark nobody's perfect. Oh, okay scratch that, you're perfect. So there's gotta be some other explanation. Anyway there's nothing you can do about it, that's life. Sometimes life ain't fair.
