Quotes 

• Perry White : [to Lois about Clark]  You know, that boy would walk on water for you... or he'd drown trying.

• Jimmy Olsen : I thought you hated the symphony, chief.

  Perry White : I do, Jimmy. That's why I'm standing here in this monkey suit, waiting for my wife, who loves the symphony. And with whom I am on very thin ice. So I can plunk down a thousand smackers for bad seats on a charity opening night. Now, son, when you get married, this will all make perfect sense.

• Clark Kent : Good morning Chief. Lois.

  [Lois gives a wave but doesn't say anything] 

  Clark Kent : Listen I can come back.

  Perry White : No, no, no, no, no, just a minute. I've been meaning to talk to you two. Now I can't help but notice the chill going on between you two. If you need a friendly ear to bend, I'm it. But just don't let whatever it is hurt your work. Okay?

  Lois Lane : Chief I think Clark and I are both professional enough to behave, uh, professionally.

  Perry White : Good because partners need to know they can count on each other. Trust each other.

• Perry White : Anyway if you wanted to nose around it would have to be a kind of undercover, sniff it out type thing.

  Clark Kent : That's not exactly what I was getting at.

  Perry White : You know as a matter of fact I could make arrangements for you two to go on the next retreat as a married couple.

  Lois Lane : Oh no, that's just not a good idea.

  Clark Kent : Not at this time Chief.

  Perry White : No, why? Surely not for personal reasons. I mean cause you both said that nothing would stand in the way of your professionalism.

  Lois Lane : No, no.

  [Looks at Clark and he shakes his head no] 

  Lois Lane : No, no just don't think it's a good idea.

  Clark Kent : No.

  Perry White : Oh. Oh, okay, you're sentiments are duly noted. Don't you guys think you should get out of here and pack?

• Lawrence 'Larry' Smiley : I got me two of every kind. Farmers, doctors, lawyers, and you. Why, you, of all people, should see where I'm headed.

  Perry White : Yeah, a little quiet room with rubber on the walls.
