Tempus : [Lois slaps him across the face] Well I was wondering how long it would take to get to that part of the interview?
Lois Lane : You are dirt. You are filth. You're pocket lint. You're pocket lint in the pockets of lawyers.
Tempus : Oh calm down. You want a martini?
Lois Lane : No I don't want a martini. Tempus don't you realize that if I was able to block out this John Doe hypnosis then others can too? And we will bring you down.
Tempus : No you won't. You are alone Lois. The only other living soul who knows the truth about me is Clark and whoops he's not living anymore is he?
Lois Lane : Yes he is. He's coming back.
Tempus : What do you think this is, a family television show? Only unhappy endings allowed here, Lois. Let's see, I could shoot you or hang you on the spot but what's the fun in that? Why you're the only sane one in the asylum darlin'. Between that and losing your husband you should be crawling the walls in no time.
Lois Lane : This interview's over. You don't get it do you? You can't stamp out goodness. You might take the whole world into night but a little sliver of light is gonna come through and will have you.
Tempus : You make a very attractive widow.
-
Tempus : Time all you Chowderheads got let in on a little secret. This Superman of yours, this chiseled god, is in reality Clark Kent of The Daily Planet.
[Turns to Superman #2]
Tempus : In chess, this is where I say "check."
Clark Kent : [Clark and Lois appear behind them as the media stares] Uh Honey, I think the media wants us to comment on Mr. Tempus's last remark.
Lois Lane : Um, we regret that Mr. Tempus's mental health has not improved, he's obviously still delusional.
Superman #2 : This is where I would say, "checkmate."
Tempus : No, you cretins. He *is* Clark Kent. One of them's from another dimension. I mean, it's obvious... Duh!
-
Superman #2 : Lois, is this how it is between the two of you? Working together like this?
Lois Lane : Yeah
Superman #2 : Wow!
-
Lois Lane : [Lois hugs him tightly] I don't think I'm ever letting go.
Clark Kent : I hope you don't.
[they kiss]
Clark Kent : You know, he's right... I am the luckiest man alive.
[they kiss]
-
Lois Lane : This is not our Clark.
Martha Kent : Well if it's not our Clark, whose Clark is it?
-
Clark Kent #2 : [Superman #2 goes into closet to change; comes out in casual clothes] What?
Lois Lane : Nothing. I mean, you don't... You know--spin in and out of the suit?
Clark Kent #2 : Spin? Never tried that. Oh, is that what he does?
Lois Lane : Mm.
Clark Kent #2 : Well, maybe I'll give it a shot sometime.
Lois Lane : Oh, no--that's okay. I--I mean, it's a fine way to change. I--I just, it's not him. I mean, you're--you're not him. I have to remind myself sometimes.
Clark Kent #2 : Twinkies, cupcakes, and ding-dongs?
Lois Lane : Where's my brain? I just thought...
Clark Kent #2 : That because he likes those things, so would I.
Lois Lane : Yeah... Anyway...
[Clark #2 takes the wine bottle from her]
Clark Kent #2 : Uh, here...
[opens the wine bottle]
Lois Lane : So, uh... Did you find any subliminal message-sending devices in the phone system?
Clark Kent #2 : No. Whatever was there, he must have moved someplace else.
Lois Lane : So the whole country's gonna keep believing in this lunatic.
Clark Kent #2 : Did you hear anything from H.G. Wells?
Lois Lane : No. So he hasn't found Clark...
Clark Kent #2 : Lois... Love is the only thing that keeps people going sometimes. It's that strong, and right now, you have to grab ahold of that strength and know that it's going to get you through this. It's a lonely world without love. I know... Because it's how I live my life. A while back, before I became Superman in my world, a new friend told me to trust in myself, and the power of the goodness inside of me. She was a pretty smart woman, and I believed her. Now she has to believe me.
Lois Lane : You sound like you've gotten pretty smart yourself.
Clark Kent #2 : You helped me get there.
-
Lois Lane : Oh, this is unforgivable.
Clark Kent #2 : I am so sorry.
Lois Lane : Just shameful.
Clark Kent #2 : I'm really sorry.
Lois Lane : No, not you--me. I--I almost kissed you. How could I almost kiss you?
Clark Kent #2 : No, *I* almost kissed *you*.
Lois Lane : No, I almost kissed you.
Clark Kent #2 : No, no, believe me, I...
Lois Lane : Okay, fine--we almost kissed us. Look, Clark--other, other Clark... I'm in a, in a really weird place right now. I--I miss my husband, whom you look exactly like, and--and it wouldn't take a lot of imagination to pretend that you're him, but you're not him, and I love him, and you have to understand that.
Clark Kent #2 : Y--yes, understood completely. But Lois, see, my life *is* that lonely thing that I talked about, a--and then there's this weird chemistry between you and I that I don't really understand, but I promise you, it will never ever, ever, ever, ever happen again.

Clark Kent #2 : [after starting to x-ray through Lois' bedroom] What am I doing?
Lois Lane : [walking down the stairs] About what?
Clark Kent #2 : Oh... Tempus, the country, you know...
Lois Lane : Sorry if I disturbed you.
Clark Kent #2 : No, I couldn't sleep either.
Lois Lane : If Clark can't be found in the next 24 hours, he may just disappear. You know the terrible thing about marriage? You take it for granted. You think that that person sleeping next to you--that sound they make when they're breathing--you think you'll always have that.
Clark Kent #2 : Lois, if there was any way that I could get him back...
Lois Lane : --I know. Listen, uh... About that chemistry thing... I think that your feelings... . Just like it was easy for me to confuse you with Clark... I think that your feelings for me are really meant for her... Your Lois.
Clark Kent #2 : But you see I--I've never even met her. She was lost on an assignment in the Congo, so...
Lois Lane : I just think that somehow you're meant to be together.
Clark Kent #2 : You know, it is so much less complicated being Superman than being Clark.
Lois Lane : That sounds like something Clark would say. It's amazing how much like him you've become. Well, now that we're both up, why don't I make us a midnight snack.
-
Lois Lane : He's gone... . He's gone.
President Garner : Lois? Lois you're crying.
Lois Lane : Don't you know what happened?
President Garner : I understand Superman left the county. Too bad, I'll miss him.
Lois Lane : He didn't leave he was sent some place by John Doe. And his name's not John Doe it's Tempus. And he's a monster. He's from the future and he's trying to destroy everything that's good in the country.
President Garner : Gee, that's just the kind of stuff he said you'd say.
Lois Lane : What?
President Garner : President Elect Doe told me you supported the other side.
Lois Lane : Mr. President *you* were the other side.
President Garner : I know but in my heart I knew he was right. Lois, the whole country is behind John Doe. Get on board. He bears you no ill will. We just have to trust him.
-
Martha Kent : We got on the plane as soon as we got your call. What's happened to my boy?
Lois Lane : I wish I knew exactly Martha.
Jonathan Kent : Lois, are you sure he's gone?
Lois Lane : Clark vanished through a time window. It was, uh, brought here by the most evil man I have ever met. He comes from the future and he's always wanted two things. To control the world and to destroy Superman.
-
Martha Kent : It just doesn't seem like Clark is dead. Maybe he can be found? If I haven't learned anything else in this life, I've learned you have to cling to hope.
Lois Lane : That's what Clark would say.
-
H.G. Wells : Lois I know how bringing Clark here must look.
Lois Lane : That any thought of retrieving my Clark is hopeless? That the only thing standing between Tempus and world conquest is Superman? Is that what you think I think it looks like?
H.G. Wells : I'd say the world could use a Superman just now.
Clark Kent #2 : Lois, I'm not your Clark, but I can be Superman. In my world I've become the Superman that you encouraged me to be.
Lois Lane : I know this sounds awful but I really don't want you here. It's like having Clark but not. And accepting you means accepting that he's gone and I'm not ready to do that.
Clark Kent #2 : Clark would want me to stay.
Lois Lane : How do you know what Clark would want?
Clark Kent #2 : He'd want me to protect this world. He'd want me to protect you.
-
Lois Lane : Clark I'm sorry.
Clark Kent #2 : [Surprised] Wh-what?
Lois Lane : I'm sorry for forgetting that as rotten as all this is for me, for all of us, that it must be pretty hard for you too.
Clark Kent #2 : Lois I'd really like to help. Are you okay with it?
Lois Lane : Yeah.
-
H.G. Wells : My dear I believe if we knew to the second the exact moment of Clark's disappearance I might be able to find him with the time machine.
Lois Lane : To the second?
H.G. Wells : Well anything less and I could miss him by literally billions of years.
Lois Lane : I have no idea. There was so much going on I barely remember what day it was.
H.G. Wells : Yes well there you have it.
-
Lois Lane : Thank you. You were wonderful just like I knew you would be.
Superman #2 : Lois I just wish I could do the same thing for your Clark.
H.G. Wells : We need the exact second the time window exploded.
Lois Lane : We don't have that.
Dragon : Explosion? You mean like in John Doe's hotel room?
Lois Lane : Yeah. What do you know about it?
Dragon : ...I'll tell you what Lane, if I scratch your back maybe you can put in a good word for me.
[Takes out a watch Tempus gave him]
Dragon : He wanted me to go out and get a new watch for him. He said it was stopped by an explosion.
H.G. Wells : [In the Time Machine with Lois] We must arrive at precisely the moment I've chosen or he is lost.
Superman : [They find Superman, Lois jumps out and grabs him] Lois!
[They kiss]
