- Lex Luthor: Right, so what do you suggest, Mr Kent? We just sit here, let them do whatever they want and then wait for them to kill us?
- Clark Kent: No, but I have no choice. If I go out there and try to get to the bomb, any one of those guys could kill any one of you. And if that is a hair trigger under his finger, it could go off before I could stop it, and I can't take that risk.
- Lois Lane: Uh, Clark... Take it easy, you're not Superman.
- Clark Kent: I know...
- Lois Lane: You know, it's times like these I think maybe I should just get a regular, boring job, settle down with a guy who sells insurance and have 2.4 kids.

- Lois Lane, Clark Kent: [laughing] Nah!
- Lois Lane: What about Jimmy? Maybe Jimmy could save us.
- Perry White: Jimmy couldn't save baseball cards.
- Jimmy Olsen: [exiting the air vents] I'm the man! I'm the man!
- [seeing a gun pointed at him]
- Jimmy Olsen: You're the man.
