Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Lois, will you marry me?

  Lois Lane : Who's asking? Clark... or Superman?

• Lois Lane : [Clark flies off after an argument]  That is so unfair! You know I can't fly!

• Clark Kent : I guess the first question is, "How long have you known?"

  Lois Lane : Really? I would of thought it would of been "How did I figure it out?"

  Clark Kent : That's kind of neck and neck with, "how mad are you?"

• Lois Lane : [after Clark uses his x-ray vision]  So that's what you've been doing all these years when you pulled your glasses down. I thought you had astigmatism.

• Clark Kent : When I decided to become Superman, I...

  Lois Lane : ...became a target, so anyone close to you would be a target, and then it got more complicated when you realized you loved me...

  Clark Kent : ...which was about two minutes after I met you.

  Lois Lane : Don't try to score points.

  Clark Kent : Sorry.

• Lois Lane : Clark do you realize what just happened? We were sent to investigate and we spent the whole time wallowing. We wallowed. I hate wallowers and that's what we've turned into, a couple of sighing, slack-jawed, self-pitying wallowers.

  Clark Kent : Well for whatever it's worth I x-rayed underneath the store and found evidence of machinery being dismantled so Church could be telling the truth.

  Lois Lane : Are you kidding? Next you're gonna be telling me you bought that lovey-dovey newlyweds spew.

  Clark Kent : Well you know I do hope that being married to someone does change your life, make you look at things in a new way.

  Lois Lane : And don't you think a big part of that love change is communication, getting things out in the open?

  Clark Kent : I did get things out in the open, starting with "will you marry me."

  Lois Lane : No, I got things out in the open starting with "you are Superman."

  Clark Kent : A little louder. I don't think they heard you in Gotham City.

  Lois Lane : Speaking of which, when were you planning on telling me? The honeymoon? Our first anniversary? When the kids started flying around the house?

  Clark Kent : First I needed to know that you would marry *me*. Not Superman. Not his powers. Just me, Clark. I needed to know that, okay? Then I was going to tell you everything.

  Lois Lane : Well I guess we'll never know will we?

  Clark Kent : I guess we won't.

• Clark Kent : So how mad are you?

  Lois Lane : I'm not mad.

  Clark Kent : Excuse me?

  Lois Lane : I'm not mad at all.

  Clark Kent : Lois, this is not really a time to hold back.

  Lois Lane : I'm not.

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry. I thought i was talking to Lois Lane. I know she was here a second ago. And I know she wouldn't really react...

  Lois Lane : I'm hurt.

  Clark Kent : Oh...

  Lois Lane : I'm really, really hurt.

  Clark Kent : Which is gonna be worse than mad, isn't it?

• Lois Lane : [as she sweeps glass off her floor after a bomb explosion]  Well, since you asked, what took you an hour?

  Superman : A nuclear reactor was melting down in Philadelphia. What's your point?

  Lois Lane : I just think maybe you're taking my jeopardy just a little for granted these days.

  Superman : What?!

  Lois Lane : You know, I can understand. It's not the same new sizzling romance. I don't look at you like some moony eyed cheerleader and maybe you look at me differently too. I'm just good old Lois, get to me whenever.

  Superman : That's ridiculous.

  Lois Lane : Well, just food for thought. Anyway, if you're not too busy, maybe we should try and find the guy who did this!

  [shoves a broom into his chest] 

  Superman : [looks confused and starts sweeping]  All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

• Bobby Bigmouth : No it's alright, it's ok. I've been feeling lately that this food obsession of mine is masking a deeper emotional trauma.

  Lois Lane : Bobby, really?

  Bobby Bigmouth : No, actually I'm trying to talk myself out of eating your chair.

• Superman : I should probably take a look around the city just to make sure everything is alright. But I don't want to fly off with you mad.

  Lois Lane : I'm not mad. Okay I am. It's alright I'm just... oh gosh it was easier talking to Clark.

  Superman : You still are.

  Lois Lane : See that's just it I don't know anymore.

  Superman : Well let me prove it to you.

  [Pulls out the ring] 

  Lois Lane : [Looks at the ring for a moment]  No. I... I mean I can't... yet. I need time to think.

  [Superman puts the ring away looking upset] 

  Lois Lane : Clark... you understand?

  Superman : Sure.

  Lois Lane : So you're not upset?

  Superman : [Interrupts Lois rather shortly]  Look I asked, you answered.

  Lois Lane : Well I am the one who was lied to, don't get petulant with me.

  Superman : Oh okay I see so it's okay for you to get mad but I'm not supposed to feel anything when you say...?

  Lois Lane : [Interrupts]  All I'm saying is that it's too much too fast.

  Superman : Right I get it.

  Lois Lane : No I don't think you do.

  Superman : No I do get it Lois, it's fine. Now I really should check the city.

• Superman : [Superman flies Lois above the clouds into the starry night sky]  Are you cold?

  Lois Lane : [Shivering]  A little.

  Superman : Here

  [Wraps his cape around Lois] 

  Lois Lane : It's so beautiful.

  Superman : I used to come up here a lot by myself and just drift. Not part of the stars, not part of the earth, not really knowing where I fit in... until I met you.

  Lois Lane : Oh Clark.

  Superman : Lois I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you as long as you need.

  Lois Lane : I want you to know I love you. And you're not alone anymore.

  [They kiss as they drift through the night sky] 

• Lois Lane : You wouldn't be using your other identity to avoid talking to me would you?

  Clark Kent : Look Lois there are certain things about me being Superman that you're just going to have to get used to.

  Lois Lane : Really?... Clark what is wrong? Why won't you talk to me?

  Clark Kent : What is there to talk about Lois? I ask you to marry me, you said no.

  Lois Lane : I didn't say never.

  Clark Kent : Because you found out something about me that you just don't like.

  Lois Lane : No, that's not true, I did not say that.

  Clark Kent : I'm mean what am I supposed to do, I cannot change who I am and I can't change what I've done, so...

  [Conversation interrupted] 

• [Lois and Clark just diffused a bomb, the first time working together with Lois knowing Clark is Superman and using his extra skills] 

  Clark Kent : You okay?

  Lois Lane : Yeah, a little shaky.

  Clark Kent : You did great.

  Lois Lane : *We* did great.

  [They kiss] 

• Lois Lane : [a knock at the door]  Martha!

  Martha Kent : I know it's rude to stop by without calling first and even ruder to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong but I...

  Lois Lane : Clark told you?

  [Martha nods yes] 

  Lois Lane : Everything?

  [Martha draws an S on her chest] 

  Lois Lane : Come on in.

  Lois Lane : [Cuts to the middle of the conversation]  ... time. You know time to think it over, to get to know him for who he really is. That's not unreasonable right?

  Martha Kent : Oh not at all. But you need to understand that Clark has always been alone. When he was 13 and just beginning to be really strong, really, really strong, he made the decision on his own never to tell anybody. He said he wanted to fit in. But of course he couldn't, not really. It broke my heart watching him having to hide so many things, afraid he was always gonna be alone.

  Lois Lane : You know I love him.

  Martha Kent : Oh then tell him and make him tell you. You can get through everything else. God I turned Jonathan down four times before we finally made it down the aisle.

  Lois Lane : Really?

  Martha Kent : Yes I thought he was crazy. Every time I turned him down he'd go out and plow another field of snow.

  [They both laugh] 

  Martha Kent : This is so nice. Almost 30 years, you're the first woman I've ever been able to talk to about my boy.

  [They hug]
