Quotes

Lois Lane : [Superman just brought her more gifts] You gotta stop doing that.
Superman : Why? Making you happy makes me happy.
Lois Lane : Did I ever tell you why I gave up my crush on Superman? Because he is a fantasy. And did I tell you why I fell in love with Clark?
[Shakes his head no]
Lois Lane : Because he's real. And that's what I want.
Superman : You do?
Lois Lane : Yeah. He's got problems and insecurities and... hat hair.
Superman : I do *not* have hat hair!
Lois Lane : If I told Clark that I like the scent of tulips from Holland that's not your cue to go taxiing down the runway. It just means that Clark and I would save up and some day take a vacation like a normal couple.
Superman : But I *am* Clark.
Lois Lane : But you're also that guy that saves the world from killer bees and props up the Golden Gate bridge.
Superman : Couldn't you just think of me as a very busy, very fast, very strong... doctor?
[Hears a cry for help]
Lois Lane : I need some stability.
Superman : Uh, Lois...
Lois Lane : I need a sense that I'm not always sharing you with the 5 billion other people on the planet.
Superman : If you could just hold that thought...
Lois Lane : I need to know that you will be there for me when I need you.
Superman : I gotta go...
[He leaves and Lois looks upset]

[Lois laughs as they build a fire]
Clark Kent : What?
Lois Lane : Nothing. It's just this is how I always imagined camping with Clark would be.
Clark Kent : Well, you are camping with Clark.
-
Lois Lane : [while trying to start their camp fire] Okay, blow.
[Clark accidentally uses his superbreath, putting out the fire]
Clark Kent : Sorry.
Lois Lane : It's ok.
[begins rubbing the two sticks together again]
Lois Lane : Try again. This time remember it's a camp fire not a nuclear reactor.
-
Lois Lane : [Clark unbuttons his shirt] I knew you'd come through
[notices Clark doesn't have the Superman Suit under his clothes]
Lois Lane : Where's the suit?
Clark Kent : Suit? What suit? There is no suit. I left it at home. It's just you and me Joe and Judy Regular.
[pulls Lois into his lap]
Clark Kent : Wanna neck?
-
Lois Lane : You know I dreamed of this, spending the night in your arms. First it was Superman I dreamed of. Then it was Clark.
Clark Kent : What happened?
Lois Lane : Well, first you held me in your arms. And then we kissed.
[She leans in and kisses him]
Lois Lane : And then I asked you how you felt about me.
Clark Kent : I don't know *how* I feel about you. There is no one way. I feel... so many things and all at once. Happy. Kinda scared too. Excited. Calm. Lost. Found. I feel safe in a way that I've never known... but in danger too. This thing between us, whatever it is, it's stronger than me. Being with you is stronger than me alone. That's new to me.
[Lois leans in and they kiss]
-
Lois Lane : [about the flowers Clark just gave her] Should I even ask where they're from?
Clark Kent : Tony's. Down the street. You wanna see a receipt?
-
Perry White : Clark weren't you assigned to this piece too? I was kinda under the impression that you two were permanent partners.
Clark Kent : Well we're not permanent permanent partners yet Chief.
Lois Lane : No that would be a big step Chief.
Clark Kent : The kind of thing that a person would have to... think through.
Perry White : Uh-huh, well thank you for that cryptic exchange.
-
Clark Kent : So what was that thing that we just crushed anyway?
Lois Lane : Promotion for some stupid tropical resort.
Clark Kent : Awe so Perry got to you too?
Lois Lane : He's practically forcing us to go. I told him I'm too busy.
Clark Kent : Yeah well work would be a lot safer than spending an uninterrupted weekend with me.
Lois Lane : Hold it, hold it. I'm not the one leaping off tall buildings at every distant SOS.
Clark Kent : Wait wait, what are you saying?
Lois Lane : I'm saying I don't think you could let the world get by on it's own for two whole days.
Clark Kent : Oh and you would rather write about other people's lives because it's much less dangerous than living one of your own.
Lois Lane : Oh yeah?
Clark Kent : Yeah... You know, I could do it if you could.
Lois Lane : Wanna bet?
Clark Kent : Bet.
-
Lois Lane : Your parents are really wonderful.
Clark Kent : Maybe I want to get married and have kids because they made it look like so much fun.
Lois Lane : Oh God.
Clark Kent : What?
Lois Lane : I'm just never going to be as good of a mother as yours was. What do I know about it? Your parents made marriage look wonderful, mine made it look like a root canal.
Clark Kent : Lois...
Clark Kent : My mother was always depressed, my sister wouldn't come out of her room, my father only related to cyborgs. I didn't want a family. I ran away as far as I could.
Clark Kent : Okay so your parents made some mistakes. That doesn't mean that you're gonna.
Lois Lane : How do you know?
Clark Kent : Because I hear that the guy that wants to marry you is really, really terrific.
-
Clark Kent : I'll call someone to pick up those two.
Lois Lane : And then can we PLEASE go home?
Clark Kent : Do you want to wait for a boat?
Lois Lane : No I wanna fly... first class
[draws an S on Clark's chest with her finger]
Clark Kent : Okay.
[Scoops her up]
-
Lois Lane : I know you think I'm not thinking about it but just because I'm not talking about it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it.
Clark Kent : Lois, marriage is a very big step. I said I would wait and I will wait.
Lois Lane : I'm glad you understand.
Clark Kent : Course if I was the paranoid type I might think that you were trying to avoid the whole thing.
Lois Lane : Course not, avoid it, no I'm not trying to avoid it. Did you ever notice how lousy the cheese sandwiches are in this machine?
Clark Kent : What?
Lois Lane : Oh I'm just saying you can't get a good cheese sandwich. I would kill for a piece of Camembert, the really good kind from France. You notice it's tough to get good Camembert outside of France?
Clark Kent : [Sarcastically] Lois, I'm so glad you're not avoiding this whole thing. I'm very very happy about that.
-
Lois Lane : We have to talk.
Clark Kent : I also think it's a really good idea what Perry said about getting away.
Lois Lane : How did you know?
Clark Kent : [Pulls on ear] Uh... super-hearing...
Lois Lane : Right. And we will talk, right after I get back. I'm sorry I just have to get this statement. But we'll do this, we will, I swear.
[She rushes off]
-
[Superman just saved Lois from a falling sign pole, the first time he's saved her life since she found out Clark was Superman]
Superman : Are you alright?
Lois Lane : Yes, thank you. I know it doesn't seem like enough to say, it's just it's all that I can. Wow, look at you. You've gotten me out of a lot of jams. But I've never seen you like this.
Superman : Things are *different* now.
-
Lois Lane : [Wakes up from a nap] Hi.
Clark Kent : Hi.
Lois Lane : Oh God. It's wasn't a dream, we are here. What are you doing?
Clark Kent : I am building our hut.
Lois Lane : Our hut?
Clark Kent : Well, I figure the hotel people will be here before nightfall. Or the boat people will come back and realize they put us in the wrong place. Either way we'll need shelter.
Lois Lane : No, no what we need is a sauna and a massage and some room service. So why don't you just scoop me up into your arms and fly us off? Maybe we are near Rio.
Clark Kent : No scooping, no flying.
Lois Lane : You have been scooping and flying on a fairly regular basis ever since I have known you and now, now that we are surrounded by crazed insects and murderous plants, now you think would be a bad time?
Clark Kent : Lois you challenged me to let the world get along without me for a weekend. Me and the world, we seem to be doing just fine. You, on the other hand, are a wreck.
Lois Lane : Oh really you think I'm a wreck? Well I'll show you what a wreck I am. Let me just get these pantyhose off, hand me one of those palm leaves.
Clark Kent : Here you go.
[laughs]
Lois Lane : I just wish you didn't look like you were having such a good time.
Clark Kent : I haven't had a vacation in years!
Lois Lane : Trust me, there could be better ones. Okay what do you do with this?
-
Clark Kent : [Watching Clark try to start a fire with sticks] Guess you never learned how to do that?
Clark Kent : Think about it Lois. Why would I ever have to learn how to do this?
Lois Lane : Well it just so happens that I am a former Girl Scout.
Clark Kent : Good. Cause I am a strange visitor from another planet.
Lois Lane : So I guess by now you concede that we are on the wrong island?
Clark Kent : Well yeah. Why, do you want to leave?
Lois Lane : Um, no. I suppose I could stick it out for one night.
Clark Kent : Good.
-
[Lois and Clark are chained up in a cell]
Lois Lane : I'll tell you what. I'm willing to forgo the bet, any time you want to change into Superman is fine with me.
Clark Kent : Lois, I kind of have to pick my moments for when I change into Superman.
[They both only mouth the word 'Superman']
Lois Lane : This one, this moment, pick this one.
Clark Kent : Maybe we're being watched? I don't have the suit. Maybe we bust out of here and never find out what's behind all this?
Lois Lane : Do you have rules for everything?
[They start talking in unison]
Lois Lane : Cause that would be good for me to know. I'd really like to think twice about marrying someone with that kind of compulsive personality...
Clark Kent : And being impulsive is more trouble as you of all people should really understand by now...
Klavel : Hey, pipe down!
