- Mayson Drake: You stole it.
- Lois Lane: Yeah. It's not the first time I've bent the law for a story, but I did feel bad because after I finished rationalizing it I realized that a big part of why I did it is because...I don't like you.
- Mayson Drake: [relieved] Really? Oh God, that is such a relief! I don't like you either!
- Clark Kent: Lois, you know, I really hope someday that you learn, that sometimes what it seems like people are doing isn't what they're really doing.
- Lois Lane: What are you, a fortune cookie?
- Mayson Drake: [after Lois saves her life] Keep that up and we may have to start liking each other.
- Lois Lane: [smiling] Anything but that.
- Lois Lane: I like your new glasses.
- Clark Kent: Thanks.
- Lois Lane: Did you ever think of getting contacts?
- Clark Kent: No.

- Diana Stride: Nice quads, though.
- Rolf: Eh.
- Clark Kent: You were trying to say something and I... I...
- Lois Lane: Had a sudden urge to return a tape. It's perfectly understandable. I needed to express a deep personal feeling. You had to save three dollars.
- Clark Kent: Lois. You know, I really hope that someday you learn that sometimes what it seems like people are doing isn't really what they're doing.
- Lois Lane: What are you, a fortune cookie?
