      Perry White: Have you heard from Lois?

      Clark Kent: Lois?

      Perry White: Yeah, she left here and went to Star Labs to see Jimmy but I just called there, Olsen left, she never made it.

      Clark Kent: Where's Jimmy?

      Perry White: He never made it back here. Where's Jack Olsen?

      Clark Kent: Gone. Where's the computer?

      Perry White: With Jimmy.

      Clark Kent: Well that's great, we just lost everyone!
