Quotes 

• Lois Lane : I don't know who or what you are, but you got it all wrong, lady. There is nothing romantic between Lois and Clark.

  Maxima : You have a deep connection to him. I felt it.

  Lois Lane : Then your radar's on the fritz. 'Cause even on a good day, we're barely friends.

  Maxima : He would never have been able to pull away from me if he wasn't drawn by his attraction to you.

  Lois Lane : Look, he's about as attracted to me as a Red Sox fan to the Yankees.

  Maxima : Oh, he might not know it yet. But believe me, there's a bond. And I could see it on your face when you caught us together. You feel it, too. But I finally found a man that I've wanted all my life, and you can't have him.

• Maxima : I couldn't let her have you. You're my soul mate.

  Clark Kent : You don't even know who I am.

  Maxima : When I was a little girl, I heard the stories of the brave and gallant men of Krypton. Men worthy of standing by a queen's side. When I learned your planet had been destroyed, I prayed for survivors. And when I saw your beacon...

  Clark Kent : The beacon didn't come from me.

  Maxima : It doesn't matter. I found the last son of Krypton, and you're everything I wished for. A man who is my equal. When we kissed, I felt your passion so much stronger than I have ever felt then any other man. And I could sense that you were desperate as I was to find a mate. You want me as much as I want you.

  Clark Kent : I don't want you.

  Maxima : Are you sure? Because no one on this planet will be a better match. I know the loneliness of not finding your soul mate. You come back with, and you will never be alone. It's our destiny to be together.

  Clark Kent : My destiny is here. And you're not a part of it.

• Jimmy Olsen : I'm in love with another woman.

  Maxima : I promise. Just *one* kiss, and you will see that I was meant for you.

• Maxima : Clark Kent. That's a strong name. I like it.

  Clark Kent : Who are you?

  Maxima : Maxima. You don't know how long I've searched for you.

• Tess Mercer : [finding Maxima in the mansion]  Well, talk about being fashion-forward, but I'm afraid you've crashed the wrong disco. Whoever you are, I think it's time that you leave.

  Maxima : Where's the owner of the crystal?

  Tess Mercer : Crystal? I'm sorry, that doesn't ring a bell. But maybe if you told me about the owner, I could help you.

  Maxima : He's Kryptonian. And my perfect mate. You know, I thought there'd be more of them on this planet, but every single man I've come across has been a human.

  Tess Mercer : Hmm. Maybe if we work together... I could help you find this... Kryptonian.

  Maxima : [grabbing Tess by the throat]  You're lying to me. I know the beacon came from here.

  [holding up the gift Tess received] 

  Maxima : Is it the man who sent you this?

  [choking, Tess shakes her head] 

  Maxima : You're trying to keep him for yourself, aren't you? Well, I've traveled too far to let you stand in my way.
