Cassidy Freeman: Tess Mercer

Quotes 

• Tess Mercer : Mud wrestling again, Lois?

  Lois Lane : Tess Mercer. What brings the big boss all the way downtown to the little newspaper that could? I thought the Daily Planet was slipping off your priority list.

  Tess Mercer : Print is dead.

  Lois Lane : So is privacy.

• Clark Kent : [seeing Tess snooping in Lois' desk]  Should I even bother asking? You can either hand those to me or I can take them from you.

  Tess Mercer : Well, it sounds like fun. But given our last few encounters, I should probably stay out of the sandbox.

  [Clark takes the file and opens it] 

  Tess Mercer : Suspicious much? Maybe you two really are perfect for each other.

  Clark Kent : You were smarter when you were leaving.

  Tess Mercer : I always thought it would be hard for you, you know, being boyfriend/girlfriend with someone so nosy. Maybe you're not the only one with a secret.

  Clark Kent : What do you know about this?

  Tess Mercer : Not much. Just that your girlfriend is in way over her head.
