Quotes 

• [Clark talks on the phone with his parents there] 

  Clark Kent : No, believe me. I... I understand. Absolutely. If the hijackers won't listen, you're gonna have to take 'em out. No, okay, let me tell you about it. In fact... No, let me tell you about one time when I was in that exact same situation. You know, uh... no. Go. Go. But be careful. Hey, love you.

  [Clark hangs up the phone] 

  Clark Kent : Lois says she's sorry she missed dinner, but there's a 747 with a bomb on it.

  Jonathan Kent : Oh. Well, maybe she'll be back in time for... uh, pie.

  Clark Kent : No, I told her just... go on home, get some rest. Hey, you guys want to play Monopoly?

  [Martha stops Clark from getting up] 

  Martha Kent : Are you okay, Sweetie?

  Clark Kent : I'm fine.

  Martha Kent : What on earth makes you think you can fool me?

  Clark Kent : No, Mom. I am... I'm fine. I just... I mean, it's not like I'm sick or dying or anything. I just... I guess I just... I don't know what I am.

  Jonathan Kent : Martha, remember when I had the back surgery and was laid up for six months? And we almost lost the farm? Your mother went to work as a secretary and ended up as office manager with a secretary of her own.

  Martha Kent : Oh, Jonathan. Stop. It was two secretaries.

  Jonathan Kent : Anyway, your mother saved the day. And it was hard for me to just lie there and watch her do everything. I, uh... I guess I was afraid I was losing her.

  Martha Kent : As if some silly job could ever replace you - either of you.

  Clark Kent : Maybe, I'll take a walk. Maybe... over toward Lois'. Maybe, I'll... wait for her to get home. Thanks for dinner, Mom.

  Jonathan Kent : Did we raise a smart boy or what?

  Martha Kent : Oh, you were great.

• Lois Lane : [after stopping a truck]  Ah, those shoes cost $75... Does the superhero's union cover expenses?

  Clark Kent : No, but it does bring up an interesting issue.

  Lois Lane : Which is...

  Clark Kent : Well, you're just not the kind of person who can sit around and watch someone in trouble if you can help.

  Lois Lane : Oh, I have a bad feeling about where this is going.

  Clark Kent : But you don't want the world knowing that it's Lois Lane stopping trucks. So...

  Lois Lane : Does this mean I have to wear glasses?

  [Later at Martha and Jonathan's house, Martha checks a bag of rolled materials] 

  Jonathan Kent : [laughing]  Oh, no, dear. Of course not. I'm thinking about a mask.

  Lois Lane : [holding rolls of material]  A mask?

  Martha Kent : [serving Lois a cup of tea]  Oh, I think a mask would be very sharp!

  Jonathan Kent : How about a cape?

  Lois Lane : Uh, you guys, could we just slow down? I don't think I can do this.

  Jonathan Kent : No cape?

  Lois Lane : No, I... I mean ANY of it. Uh, this... it's just... it's not me, it's Clark. You know, he's putting on this brave face, but inside I know this is eating him alive. If he sees me in a cape and tights, how do you think that's gonna make him feel?

  Martha Kent : Lois, Clark is strong. And I'm not talking about how much he can benchpress. He's strong where it counts, and WHEN it counts.

  Jonathan Kent : He'll get through this. You BOTH will. Now...

  [Martha holds one of Lois' shoes. The bottom of the heel is worn] 

  Jonathan Kent : Let's talk boots.
