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.

• Lois Lane : Oh, sorry to rain on your orgy, Smallville. I think I scared off your date.

  Clark Kent : Where'd she go?

  Lois Lane : Probably to find you two a motel room.

  Clark Kent : You don't understand.

  Lois Lane : What's not to understand? You were pulling a "9 1/2 Weeks" in the elevator. I mean, it may not get you a membership in the mile-high club, but, hey, you got to start somewhere.

  Clark Kent : Just calm down.

  Lois Lane : I *am* calm! I am perfectly calm! Why wouldn't I be calm? Dial down the ego, Smallville. I don't care what you do with your love life.

• Lois Lane : Well, I got to go. I'm meeting with a realtor, finding my own place. Those lovebirds are so sweet, my teeth will rot if I don't move out.

  Clark Kent : Hey, Lois, um... you were right. This house is pretty big. If you want your old room back, it's yours.

  Lois Lane : Being housemates didn't work out for us the first time, Smallville. Why tempt fate?

  [winks] 

• Clark Kent : [about Maxima]  I'm afraid this may not be the last we've seen of her.

  Lois Lane : Hmm. Well, I'll be ready for her. The late-night game of bumper cars might have knocked the wind out of me, but one supercharged fembot can't put a serious dent in Lois Lane.

  Clark Kent : Thanks for showing up when you did. I guess you could say you saved my life.

  Lois Lane : Tell me about it. If I haven't severed your love connection, you would have ended like all her other dates.

  Clark Kent : You know, she said some... weird things to me.

  Lois Lane : Really?

  Clark Kent : She said she was my soul mate.

  Lois Lane : I think you can do a little bit better than a man-eating meteor freak.

  Clark Kent : I know she's not the one, but it got me to thinking. Chloe showed me this love letter she wrote to me years ago, and... her feelings were really intense. And Chloe was right there in front of me, and I never realized how I felt. What *if* my soul mate comes along and I'm too blind to see it?

  Lois Lane : I don't know, Smallville. I think that, when the right girl walks into your life, you'll know.

  Clark Kent : What did Maxima say to you?

  Lois Lane : Nothing for the front page.

• Lois Lane : You are about as predictable as mullets in NASCAR. One little mention of you living alone, and you start singing the "missing Lana" blues. You know, I hate to be the one to dish out a helping of tough love here, Clark, but Lana is gone for good. Time to get back in the saddle, buckaroo. But this go-round, you need to look outside your wheelhouse.

  Clark Kent : I didn't know I had a wheelhouse.

  Lois Lane : Of course you do - pretty, friendly, damsel-in-distressy. You need to try another scoop of the 31 flavors, maybe a little less sweet vanilla and a lot more wild cherry.

• Clark Kent : Lois, I thought you said you didn't have time to work on this article.

  Lois Lane : That's when it was gonna end up buried on the last page. But with this super-endorphin angle, the scoop is a lot bigger. Now, you just learned to dog-paddle your way through a story. What kind of friend would I be if I threw you in the deep end without a floaty?

• Clark Kent : What did the police officers say?

  Lois Lane : They found evidence of a fire in the alley, but they suspect it's unrelated.

  Clark Kent : So in other words, there was no reason for us to come down here.

  Lois Lane : Common rookie mistake. See, that's why you're lucky I came along. The scorch marks are probably from a homeless hoedown. If we talk to a few local transients, maybe somebody saw something.

• Lois Lane : Well, this story just made it above the fold. Cops say a string of hormone-jacked stiffs turned up between Metropolis and Smallville. All males. Ask me, I think we have a meteor freak on a rampage.

• Lois Lane : [after catching Clark and Maxima together]  Give me a break. Does he really think that I care who he sucks face with? Hello. Slutty Anna wasn't even his type.
