Lois Lane : [looking at footage of Superman] Nice "S".
Clark Kent : Excuse me?
Lois Lane : Right here. He's strong, he flies. He's the Nietschian fantasy ideal all wrapped up in a red cape. The Super-Man.
Clark Kent : Superman?
Perry White : Hey, I like it! "Superman." It's catchy, sticks with you, the kind of name that looks great splashed across three columns! Make it four. Provided one of you can get an interview with him.
Lois Lane : Somehow, I don't think a guy like that has a press agent, chief.
-
Superman : As far as I've been able to piece together, I'm the last survivor of a planet called Krypton.
Lois Lane : [skeptical] Krypton?
Superman : Uh-huh.
Lois Lane : Okay...
Superman : You don't believe me.
Lois Lane : It's a little much.
Superman : Fair enough. All I ask is that you tell the truth about me.
Lois Lane : And that is?
Superman : I'm not here to scare anyone. In fact, I always try to help people whenever possible.
Lois Lane : You sound too good to be true. What's your secret?
Superman : What do you mean?
Lois Lane : Well you don't go around in blue tights and a cape all the time, do you? What do you do in your off hours?
Superman : I think that's a question for another time.
[Flies away]

Lois Lane : Nice work, Smallville. You're only the second person I've ever seen get under Lex's skin.
Clark Kent : Who's the first?
Lois Lane : Me, when I dumped him.
Clark Kent : Whoa!
Lois Lane : Ancient history.
-
Lois Lane : What makes you think Lex might have been an accessory to the theft?
Clark Kent : I don't think it was a theft. I think he gave it away.
-
Lois Lane : [on the phone with Perry] Sorry, Perry. I checked with S.T.A.R. Labs, and they're just as clueless as everyone else about our fly boy. Right. I'm heading back now.
Superman : [as she hangs up] Excuse me, Ms. Lane. I believe I'm the one you want to talk to.
Lois Lane : Oh, yeah? Well... where are you?
Superman : I'm... just hang on.
[beneath her car, he lifts it up into the sky]

Bibbo : Oh, it's you, Ms. Lane. Come to do another smuggling story?
Lois Lane : Maybe. What can you tell me about that tanker?
Bibbo : Gaah! It's the durndest thing I've ever seen. She's been in port a week and ain't moved a bit of cargo on or off. Blasted scow's leavin' port tonight, and I says good riddance.
Lois Lane : Gotta get on that ship.
[giving him some change]
Lois Lane : Listen, Bibbo, take this and call Clark Kent at the Planet. Let him know where I am and tell him to call police commissioner Henderson if he doesn't hear from me in 20 minutes. Got that? 20 minutes.
Bibbo : Um...
Lois Lane : Thanks, Bibb. I owe you one.
Bibbo : Yeah, sure, sure. Lemme see... call Kirk Kent. Let him know about the boat, and, uh... said something about the police. Yeah. Okay.
[stopping at a vending machine]
Bibbo : Hey, soder.
[looking at the change in his hand]
Bibbo : Ahh. Eh, she'll be okay.
-
Lois Lane : You're making a big mistake. Everyone in my office knows where I am.
John Corben : Sweetheart, if anyone knew or cared, they would have made a move by now.
[hearing the horn of a tugboat]
John Corben : We're clear. Lose her.
[as his henchmen prepare to execute her, Superman flies in]
John Corben : You again? Get him!
Superman : [with his heat vision, he burns off the ropes binding her] Take cover.

Hans - Terrorist Guard : We're not giving interviews. You got that, lady?
Lois Lane : If I could just speak to your captain...
Hans - Terrorist Guard : I said no interviews! What part of that don't you understand?
John Corben : Hans. Hans! There's no reason for hostility, especially toward such an attractive visitor. I'm John Corben, special attaché to the regent. How may I help you, miss...
Lois Lane : Lois Lane, Daily Planet. I'm doing a follow-up to a story on gun smuggling and was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your cargo.
John Corben : But we have no cargo. You must know there's a trade embargo between the U.S. and Kaznia. We're part of a diplomatic envoy trying to restore friendly relations between our countries.
Lois Lane : Then you won't mind me taking a look around.
John Corben : Better yet, why don't we continue this interview ashore, say, over dinner? I'd be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Lois Lane : [a door opens, with the Lexo-Suit just visible inside] I can think of some doozies.
John Corben : [pointing a gun at her] I'll bet.

Clark Kent : I was digging up some background info on Mr. Luthor and found this photo of him at last year's International Industrial Conference. Recognize the guy with the medals?
Lois Lane : The regent of Kaznia. So?
Clark Kent : So, the U.S. and Kaznia haven't been on real friendly terms lately. Seems the regent's been employing an elite squad of terrorists to eliminate his political enemies.
Lois Lane : Old news, Kent. The president broke diplomatic ties with Kaznia months ago.
Clark Kent : Which means Luthor couldn't sell the regent a war suit without it being a deliberate act of treason.
Lois Lane : So Luthor just left the back door open for him to take it.
Clark Kent : It works in theory.
Lois Lane : In theory, maybe, but Perry White doesn't run theories.
Clark Kent : [she turns to leave] Where are you going?
Lois Lane : I'd tell you, but you'd have to share the byline.
-
Lex Luthor : [putting down the Daily Planet] Well, well. An alien in my own backyard. And such a civic-minded one, too.
Lois Lane : I think he means what he says, Lex.
Lex Luthor : Well, that's just dandy, Lois. All I know is your hero did nothing to help me. I'm the one who's out a billion-dollar battle suit.
Clark Kent : Actually, this could end up a silver lining in your pocket, couldn't it?
Lex Luthor : What's that?
Clark Kent : Now that the terrorists have your prototype, the Pentagon is undoubtedly gonna want you to build a bigger and better version for them. When all is said and done, this could net you a multibillion-dollar windfall.
Lex Luthor : Lois, it almost sounds as if your friend here is suggesting I should be glad my suit was stolen. You're very amusing, Mr... Kent, is it? Yes, I'll remember that.
