Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [contacting John Irons]  John, it's happening, just like you said it would. I think Superman's been turned.

• Lois Lane : I've never met a Clark before.

  Clark Kent : Oh, I've never met a Lois before. Actually, there was my first-grade teacher, Lois Hannigan, so I guess, oh, technically, you'd be the second.

• Clark Kent : I can't believe I married Lois Lane.

  Lois Lane : I'm all yours, babe. For better or for worse.

  Clark Kent : You know, I... I kept my secret from everyone for so long, and now I know why. It's for you. So we could have this life together.

  Lois Lane : There's no one I'd rather share it with.

  Clark Kent : This might be a weird time to say it, but I can't wait to tell my dad about the wedding. He's gonna be so excited. I mean, as excited as a hologram can get, I guess.

  Lois Lane : Well, he's gonna have to wait 'til after the honeymoon.

• Janet : I'm not talking to you as your producer. I'm talking to you as one of your best friends. And I am telling you...

  Lois Lane : Janet.

  Janet : ...there is some serious chemistry happening...

  Lois Lane : Listen to me.

  Janet : And you need to bring your "A" game if you wanna go out with the world's most eligible bachelor.

  Lois Lane : I am not interested, okay? I'm in love with someone else. Clark from the paper. We've been dating for a couple months. I know he's dorky, but I love him.

  Janet : Right, the guy with the glasses.

  Lois Lane : Yeah.

  Janet : He's so sweet.

  Lois Lane : Yeah.

  Janet : Well, that's great, Lois. I... I had no idea you were in love.

  Lois Lane : That's because I haven't told anyone yet, not even him.

  Janet : [seeing Superman watching them, then trying to act like he's not]  Hey, random Superman question. He wouldn't happen to have super-hearing?

  Lois Lane : [glancing at him, a little embarrassed]  Can we just go?

  Janet : Yeah, yeah.

  Lois Lane : [returning to their desk]  I apologize. That was unprofessional.

  Superman : That's okay. He's a... he's a lucky man.

  Lois Lane : Don't think this means I'm gonna take it easy on you.

  Superman : I'd be offended if you did.

• Clark Kent : You seen Lois?

  Ron Troupe : Her contact at the library called back about some guy who works at a hardware store.

  Clark Kent : [using his powers to look at their corkboard]  Henry Miller?

  Ron Troupe : Hmm.

  Lois Lane : [he hears her with his super-hearing]  You can't do this, Henry. They've done nothing wrong.

  Henry Miller : They don't belong here.

  [hearing an explosion and people screaming, Clark runs out] 

  Perry White : This isn't track and field, Kent!

• Lois Lane : [being saved from trouble]  How'd you know about this?

  Superman : I've been reading your reports in the Planet, but also my, uh, hearing.

  Lois Lane : Your hearing?

  Superman : Oh. My, um... super-hearing.

  Lois Lane : We haven't formally met. I'm Lois Lane.

  Superman : It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lane.

  Lois Lane : And you are who, exactly? Mr. Metropolis? Red and Blue Man?

  Superman : [chuckling]  Well, I'm sure you'll come up with something.

  Shopkeeper : [he takes off into the sky]  Who was that?

  Lois Lane : Superman.

• Lois Lane : I feel like we're not getting anywhere.

  Janet : I can't believe it.

  Lois Lane : No, I know, he's, like, giving me the runaround.

  Janet : No, not that. I think Superman is into you.

  Lois Lane : Don't be ridiculous.

  Janet : Well, the way he keeps smiling at you? I dream of having someone look at me like that. It's basically how all my favorite movies end.

  Lois Lane : Janet, he's Superman. It's part of his whole schtick. He looks at people in a nice way.

• Lois Lane : Welcome to "The Daily Planet Today." I'm Lois Lane, and with me for his first on-camera interview is Superman. I appreciate you agreeing to be here.

  Superman : Thanks for having me.

  Lois Lane : Now, as you know, the world has been captivated by you ever since your first appearance in Metropolis over a year ago, and one of the big questions that always gets asked regarding Superman is how long you were on Earth before that.

  Superman : Well, essentially my whole life. After my planet was destroyed...

  Lois Lane : Krypton.

  Superman : Right. When Krypton was destroyed, the pod that allowed me to escape crashed here on Earth.

  Lois Lane : Where exactly on Earth?

  Superman : That's not something I'm ready to reveal yet.

  Lois Lane : Well, the assumption is that it was somewhere in the U.S.

  Superman : Well, don't assume that just because I'm speaking English.

  [switching to Cantonese] 

  Superman : Anywhere is possible.

  Lois Lane : You speak multiple languages. Is that also a superpower?

  Superman : No. Just, uh, curiosity about the world. I wanted to know more about different people, different regions, so I studied their languages.

  Lois Lane : How many languages?

  Superman : All of them.

  Lois Lane : What would you say to the people of the world when asked what you stand for?

  Superman : I'd like to think everything good and decent. Truth, justice.

  Lois Lane : The American way?

  Superman : [chuckling]  I think someone's just trying to get me to admit I was raised here.

• Morgan Edge : So this is the life Kal-El chose. It's even more disappointing up close.

  Lois Lane : You're not welcome here.

  Morgan Edge : That's no way to speak to family, Lois, especially with young boys around.

  Jonathan Kent : Where's our dad?

  Morgan Edge : When I left him, he was a crumpled heap in his little ice castle. Peculiar place to build a fortress. I chose the desert; like to feel the sun on my face.

• Kyle Cushing : Man, this head is pounding worse than after ten whiskey chasers.

  Lois Lane : From everything we can tell, it should go away in a day or two.

  Lana Lang Cushing : How's Emily doing?

  Lois Lane : Confused. Overwhelmed.

  Kyle Cushing : What's she know, exactly?

  Lois Lane : Just the broad strokes, same as everyone else. Edge was giving people powers, messing with their minds to control them.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Nothing about alien consciousness?

  Lois Lane : DOD felt that would be better kept off the record.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Still a lot to process. And people in this town are gonna want answers.

  Kyle Cushing : Yeah, at which point they're gonna be looking for somebody to blame, and, uh, pretty sure I'm gonna be at the top of that list.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Your heart was in the right place, babe.

  Kyle Cushing : Heart's not the problem. It's, uh, this stubborn head of mine refusing to listen. I should've never gone to see Edge behind your back.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Speaking of Edge, any idea where he went?

  Lois Lane : Superman and the DOD are looking for him. I'm sure he'll turn up soon.

• Jonathan Kent : So, it's, like, really "official" official now or what?

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, I... I-I guess so.

  Jonathan Kent : Yeah?

  Lois Lane : Well, I'm happy for you, sweetie, but now that you have a girlfriend, your dad and I are gonna have to have a little chitchat with you about what we expect.

  Jonathan Kent : [hearing a whooshing in the sky]  I guess Dad's home.

  Morgan Edge : [landing in front of them]  Your father won't be returning any time soon, which is why Uncle Morgan decided to come pay a visit.

• Kyle Cushing : I wanted to apologize to you, you know, for the way I've treated you this whole time.

  Lois Lane : It's okay, Kyle.

  Kyle Cushing : No. No, it's not. Look, I was wrong about, uh... about damn near everything, but, um... mostly, I was wrong about you. You're good people, Lois, and I'm real happy you're part of this town.

• Lois Lane : Metropolis has so many problems that aren't just rescue operations; they're systemic. Here, look. Look at this.

  Clark Kent : These lightning bolts.

  Lois Lane : Nazi symbols. They've been popping up all over lower Metropolis. Along with a rash of arson attacks against minority-owned businesses.

  Clark Kent : Do you have any idea who's responsible?

  Lois Lane : By all accounts, some psycho in a metal mask and a trenchcoat.

  Clark Kent : I didn't know about this.

  Lois Lane : That's my point exactly. I have been covering this for months, only my reporting keeps getting drowned out by everyone's favorite miracle man.

  Clark Kent : How can I help?

• Lois Lane : I'm nervous.

  Clark Kent : I didn't think you got nervous.

  Lois Lane : Well, it's your mom, Clark. What if she doesn't like me?

  Clark Kent : [laughing]  That's not possible.

  Lois Lane : Maybe you haven't seen the reader mail section of the newspaper, but trust me, it's very possible.

• Martha Kent : [meeting Lois for the first time]  She's wonderful.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, I know.

  Martha Kent : So, what took you so long to bring her here?

  Clark Kent : Well, because I needed to be ready.

  Martha Kent : To meet me?

  Clark Kent : That's not what I meant. I brought her here to tell her who I really am.

  Martha Kent : Oh. Are you sure? Once you tell her, there's no going back.

  Clark Kent : Yeah, well... there was no going back after the first time I saw her.

  Martha Kent : I'm so happy for you, honey.

  Lois Lane : [entering as they hug]  Everything okay?

  Martha Kent : Everything's perfect, dear. Just perfect.

  Clark Kent : [leading her out]  You, follow me. I wanna show you something.

• Lois Lane : [pursuing the story of an arsonist]  One of these dirtbags is our guy. I can feel it.

  Clark Kent : You're really good at this.

  Lois Lane : Thanks.

  Clark Kent : I, um... I should get going.

  Lois Lane : What's the hurry? You got a big date?

  Clark Kent : No, no, nothing like that. Just, um, you know, some "Seinfeld" reruns. Heat up some frozen chicken nuggets. Yeah.

  Lois Lane : You've been a really big help, Clark. If you want, I can probably talk to Perry about you getting a beat of your own, local politics or something.

  Clark Kent : Oh. Um... no. That's... it's okay. I'd rather be here.

  Lois Lane : For the story or the company?

  Clark Kent : Uh...

  [chuckling] 

  Clark Kent : I feel like that's a trick question.

• Ron Troupe : Mystery man strikes again. Third time this month.

  Lois Lane : Where was he?

  Ron Troupe : Saved a boat sinking off Hob's River. Jimmy even got a photo. This is my Pulitzer, Lane. I can feel it.

  Clark Kent : Seems like a pretty big story.

  Lois Lane : Yeah, which every reporter here is tripping over themselves to cover. Boys and their heroes.

  Clark Kent : Aren't, uh, heroes a good thing?

  Lois Lane : Yeah, of course, and I know that we need this guy. It's just that ever since he showed up, he's been dominating the conversation.

• Morgan Edge : In a lifetime full of memories, there is none more special than becoming a father.

  Clark Kent : What have you done?

  Morgan Edge : Easy, Kal-El. I'd hate for you to miss the big moment.

  Dr. Patel : [flash to Lois in the delivery room]  You're doing great. We're almost there.

  Lois Lane : Yeah, 27 hours later.

  Clark Kent : Edge is here somehow.

  Lois Lane : I love you, too.

  Dr. Patel : Just one more push, Lois, and baby Jonathan can meet Jordan.

  Clark Kent : He knows everything.

  Dr. Patel : [Lois screams and pushes]  You did it!

  Lois Lane : We have a family, Clark.

  Morgan Edge : Yes, you do. Jordan and Jonathan Kent, the twin sons of Lois and Superman.

  Clark Kent : No. No, please. Please. They're just babies.

  Morgan Edge : How little you know me, brother. I would never harm a newborn. Teenage boys, on the other hand...

  [Clark wakes up in the Fortress of Solitude] 

  Morgan Edge : ...that's a different matter entirely. It's good you're awake, Kal-El. Now you and I can discuss the terms of your surrender.

• Jordan Kent : Leave, now.

  Lois Lane : Jordan, stop.

  Morgan Edge : Oh, I see your son's inherited your false bravado.

  [he fires his heat vision to counter Jordan's, knocking him backward] 

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan!

  Lois Lane : Stay away from my sons!

  Morgan Edge : This is all your doing. It was your influence that made him turn his back on his own people.

  Lois Lane : Let them go. This is between you and me.

  Morgan Edge : I'm afraid we've passed that point, Ms. Lane, but I will let them live long enough to watch you die.

  [as he prepares to fire his heat vision again, Superman lands in front of Lois and the boys] 

  Morgan Edge : Impressive, Kal-El. But this changes nothing.

  Superman : [breathing heavily]  I'll do whatever you ask. Just leave my family alone.

  Morgan Edge : Pledge to me that you will submit, and I promise to let them live unharmed.

  Lois Lane : Clark, please don't do this.

  Superman : I submit.

  Morgan Edge : Take a good look at the man you knew, 'cause it will be your last.

  Superman : [to Lois]  I'm sorry. We needed more time. He was right.

• Lois Lane : [learning she's expecting twins]  Do you think this is because of Superman?

  Clark Kent : My father assured me everything's gonna be fine.

  Lois Lane : He also didn't know we were having twins, and that is a pretty big curveball.

  Clark Kent : Hey, it's gonna be okay. I promise.

  Lois Lane : Yeah, says the guy who doesn't have to give birth to two babies at the same time.

  [seeing something outside, he moves to go investigate] 

  Lois Lane : [as if he hasn't moved]  Clark, I'm not delivering the babies at the Fortress.

  Clark Kent : [realizing]  This isn't real.

• Atom-Man : These people have stolen my neighborhood, and you're spinning it like I'm the bad guy? I'm the damn hero!

  [landing in front of Lois, Superman uses his freeze breath to disable Miller's flamethrower] 

  Atom-Man : [putting his hands on his head as if in surrender]  Even you can't save all of them.

  [he takes out and activates two grenades, throwing them in opposing directions; Clark uses his heat vision to destroy one, then speeds over to contain the other as it detonates] 

  Lois Lane : [tasering Miller]  Who's the hero now?

• Perry White : Everyone in here, we're the most dependable friends the people of Metropolis have. You remember that.

  Clark Kent : Uh, yes, sir.

  Perry White : Stick with Lane. She'll show you the ropes.

  Clark Kent : Uh, Lane, sir?

  Lois Lane : Who told you to wear a tie?

  [he's dumbstruck upon seeing her] 

  Lois Lane : Let me guess, Lombard? Ignore him. Though, he can get box seats to the Meteors. You like baseball?

  Clark Kent : Uh, of course. I mean, who doesn't like America's pastime, Ms. Lane?

  Lois Lane : It's Lois. What'd you say your name was again?

• Martha Kent : Oh, I'm so glad you could make it. Oh, look at you. Ever since Clark told me about the two of you, I couldn't wait to have you out to the farm.

  Clark Kent : Told you.

  Lois Lane : Well, I'm happy to finally make it.

  Martha Kent : [taking a bouquet of flowers]  Oh, thank you. Lots of folks in Smallville are dying to meet you, too.

  Clark Kent : Mom, Mom, Mom, you promised.

  Martha Kent : Oh, Clark. It's just the neighbors and Edelsteins and, you know, girls from bridge club, so...

  Lois Lane : Well, I'm very excited to meet everyone.

  Martha Kent : Well, come on inside. I've got lunch waiting.

• Lois Lane : Hey, babe, there's something I need to tell you.

  Clark Kent : Lois, what day is it?

  Lois Lane : I'm pregnant.

  Clark Kent : You're pregnant?

  Lois Lane : Yes. I know, we weren't even trying. We didn't even know this was possible, but there are three pregnancy tests in the bathroom, and they all say the same thing. We're gonna be parents.

  Clark Kent : [remembering his dream in the Fortress]  Okay, Lois, something really strange happened right before you came out.

  Lois Lane : I can't believe it, either. It's like you said on our honeymoon; this is why you kept your secret.

  Clark Kent : So we can share our life together.

  Lois Lane : And now we can have a family. I didn't even realize I wanted one this badly until now.

  Clark Kent : Yeah. Yeah, me, too.

  Lois Lane : Okay, be honest, you want a boy or a girl?

  Clark Kent : I... I just want the baby to be healthy.

  Lois Lane : Oh, come on, Clark. That's so predictable.

  Clark Kent : What? It's true.

  Lois Lane : All right, well, I'm just gonna say it. I want a girl.

• Dr. Patel : Oh, my.

  Lois Lane : Is everything okay?

  Dr. Patel : Yes, it's just more okay. Looks like you two are going to have twins.

  Lois Lane : What? Are you sure?

  Clark Kent : Ooh, is that a... you know?

  Dr. Patel : Very, and I can't say for certain, but, yes, they do appear to be boys.

  Lois Lane : This is what I get for wanting a girl.

  Clark Kent : I can't believe I'm gonna be a dad twice all at once.
