Clark Kent : My wife, the boss.
Lois Lane : I still can't believe it.
Perry White : Now, listen, you sure you two are okay with this? I mean, I, uh, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
Lois Lane : Don't worry, we've already talked about it. Everything's fine. Really.
Perry White : You're sure?
Clark Kent : Positive, chief. In fact, I'm kind of looking forward to sleeping with the boss.

Clark Kent : Wow.
Lois Lane : Wow is right. What are we gonna do?
Clark Kent : Do about what?
Lois Lane : About what Ralph said? What if one of us gets the job over the other? How are we going to handle that?
Clark Kent : Aren't we jumping the gun here? I mean maybe they'll pick somebody else?
Lois Lane : Or maybe not? I just wouldn't want to see it affect our relationship, that's all.
Clark Kent : Hey look, if it will make you feel any better I'm going to take myself out of the running right now, it's just not that important to me.
Lois Lane : No, no, it's not that important to me either and besides you can't do that because you would make a great editor.
Clark Kent : Me? No, no, you're the one with all the Kerth Awards, I mean you deserve it.
Lois Lane : Oh well, I don't know. I mean what does deserve mean anyway? Can we make a pact? We'll be okay, no matter what?
Clark Kent : No matter what.

Lois Lane : Did I eat lunch?
Clark Kent : Lois, you've got to slow down, delegate, believe me you can only go at super speed for so long.
Lois Lane : I know, I know, I just want to do a good job, Perry put so much faith in me and I just really really don't want to blow it.
Clark Kent : Honey, honey, you're not going to blow it, that's not your style.

Clark Kent : Got a minute Lois?
Lois Lane : Oh, yeah, just checking the typesetting.
Clark Kent : I just got back from watching Superman save a test rocket from nearly exploding.
Lois Lane : Is... Superman alright?
Clark Kent : Yeah, he'll live. But whoever caused it tapped into their computer system. It's got Eric Press's MO written all over it.
Lois Lane : You think it's tied to the lab explosion?
Clark Kent : Well maybe, yeah. Which means this obviously isn't some kind of prank, he's up to something big.
Lois Lane : Do you have any evidence to support that?
Clark Kent : No.
Lois Lane : So you still can't prove a connection?
Clark Kent : Lois there's a story here I know it. I just have to find it.
Lois Lane : Without hard facts there is no story, Honey, I'm sorry.
Clark Kent : I can't believe you are saying this, as a reporter you would never take that position.
Lois Lane : As a reporter no but I'm talking as an editor. Now if I'm wrong I'll take the heat for it. I'm just trying to do what is best for the paper.
Clark Kent : And I'm trying to do what is best for my story and for the living, breathing people of Metropolis who might actually buy the paper.
Lois Lane : You know you're not the only one who fights for truth, justice and the American way. In fact as I recall I'm the person who coined that phrase.
Clark Kent : Your point?
Lois Lane : My point is that without hard facts I can't have you on this story and as the editor I'm assigning you to Ralph's story.
Clark Kent : You don't need a reporter for Ralph's story Lois you need a hook and ladder because that boy is blowing smoke. He does not have a story.
Lois Lane : How do you think it makes me look when everybody sees you working on a story I explicitly took you off of?
Clark Kent : Like you're letting me follow my reporter's instincts.
Lois Lane : You know what I think? I think you have a real problem with the fact that I'm the one in the family wearing the tights... pants, I mean pants.
Clark Kent : That's ridiculous.
Lois Lane : Really? Then why were you moping around at dinner last night?
Clark Kent : Moping? How would you even know, you weren't even there half the time?
Lois Lane : And you were the one who took off in the middle of it.
Clark Kent : A bridge collapsed Lois, what did you want me to do?
Lois Lane : Well I was dealing with my own crisis.
Clark Kent : You know what, yeah, I noticed.
Lois Lane : See, I knew this was going to affect us.
Clark Kent : Well congratulations!
[Pulls the door off it's hinges]
Lois Lane : [sighs] First fight.
-
Martha Kent : Believe me Honey after 40 years of marriage I can spot a fight coming a mile away.
Lois Lane : Good eye. This one's a doozy too.
Martha Kent : Let me guess. Can't sleep, can't concentrate, got a big knot in your stomach?
-
Perry White : Here's what I propose. Lois, you and I both run the newspaper together. Partners. Editors-in-Chief. What do you say?
Lois Lane : [Looks at Clark] I'd say, I already have a partner.
Perry White : Awe, yeah, well I guess it was worth a shot.
Lois Lane : No you don't understand, I don't want to be editor anymore.
Perry White : No I understand it's just uh... what?
Lois Lane : You can have your old job back. As long as I can have mine because I miss being a reporter as much as you miss being an editor.
Lois Lane : Lois, are you sure?
Lois Lane : Positive.
Perry White : You've got a deal!
-
Lois Lane : [Sitting together on their back porch] Kinda scary huh, how quickly things can fall apart?
Clark Kent : I guess we were a little naïve to think that it wouldn't affect us.
Lois Lane : I should've let you run with the story all along Clark.
Clark Kent : Are you saying if you had to do it over again you wouldn't kill my story?
Lois Lane : I'd kill it in a second if I were editor. Being editor that's what I won't do over again.
Clark Kent : Are you sure about that?
Lois Lane : Totally. I know where I belong, where the action is.
Clark Kent : And that would be?
Lois Lane : Usually with you.
Clark Kent : Good.
Lois Lane : Does this mean we've made up?
Clark Kent : Yeah.
[Kisses Lois]
Clark Kent : Is anybody watching?
Lois Lane : [Looks around] No. Why?
[Clark flys her into the house super speed]
