Dana Delany: Lois Lane

Quotes 

  • Leslie Willis : [as Leslie Willis]  What's the deal with you and Superman, huh?

    Lois Lane : What are you talking about?

    Leslie Willis : Come on, you're always getting exclusives with him. Just how exclusive are you two?

    [Clark Kent clears his throat nervously] 

    Lois Lane : It's not like that.

    Leslie Willis : Oh it's not, huh? Ah, I guess we'll never know if his pj's have that big red S on them too.

  • Perry White : Boy, this sure brings back the old days. When I was your age we didn't have computers or fax machines or...

    Lois Lane : Yeah, yeah, and you walked ten miles in your bare feet to work every day.

  • Leslie Willis : Seems we got a little problem, people. The authorities want to shut the party down.

    [booing, the crowd throws eggs at the cops on stage] 

    Lois Lane : And the crowd turns ugly.

    Jimmy Olsen : The crowd showed up ugly.

    Leslie Willis : Are you gonna let them shut us down? Are you gonna let them tell us what to do?

    [Superman lands next to her] 

    Leslie Willis : Hey, look. The cops brought their monkey.

    Superman : You have to stop this. Can't you see you're putting these people in danger?

    Leslie Willis : Hey, everybody, big blue says you should go home and get some sleep. What do you say to that, huh?

    [they angrily throw trash at him] 

  • Lois Lane : [at Leslie's celebration at the park]  I can't believe they're not calling off this fiasco.

    Jimmy Olsen : I've seen riots more orderly than this.

    Clark Kent : Well, maybe reason will prevail after all.

  • Lois Lane : Do you really believe that garbage you say about Superman, or is it just a way to get ratings?

    Leslie Willis : Look, baby, to make it in this town, I had to be better, sharper, and louder than any man to get half as much notice. And nothing was handed to me on a silver platter, either, unlike your friend Superman.

    Lois Lane : Some attitude you have there.

    Leslie Willis : Eh, it pays the bills.

    Lois Lane : [looking at the forming thunderstorm outside]  Hmm. Looks like Mother Nature isn't one of your faithful fans.

    Leslie Willis : She'll come around. Everybody else does.

  • Livewire : Hello, Metropolis! The tower of power is back, coming at you at about, oh, a gazillion megahertz. Now, you may have noticed that I restored some power to the city. I've done this so that you, my adoring and helpless public, can gaze upon moi, your lovely queen of all media. Actually, I pretty much am the media now, seeing as how I've taken complete control. So don't touch that dial, Metropolis. Because if you ever want your phone back, your lights, your computers, your talk shows, your home shopping channels, and your stupid little lives, then you're gonna have to deal with me.

    Perry White : Typical. Today the airwaves...

    Lois Lane : Tomorrow, the world.

  • Lois Lane : How can you just sit there while she spews that trash about Superman?

    Clark Kent : That's what shock jocks do, Lois. They create controversy, stir things up.

    Lois Lane : If she wants controversy, wait'll I interview her.

    Sid Melkin : Uh, hi, Mr. Kent, Ms. Lane. I'm Sid Melkin, Leslie's producer. Uh, she's all set for your interview now.

    Lois Lane : Now? But we were supposed to interview her after the show.

    Sid Melkin : Change of plans. Follow me.

    Clark Kent : Straight into the lion's den.

  • Leslie Willis : Come on, Lois. Just between us girls...

    Lois Lane : There's nothing to tell.

    Leslie Willis : [with his superhuman hearing, Clark hears trouble at a nearby construction site]  Something wrong, Mr. Kent? Am I boring you?

    Clark Kent : [getting up to leave]  As a matter of fact, you are.

    Leslie Willis : Ooh, don't go away mad, Clarky.

    [Clark slams the door shut behind him] 

    Leslie Willis : Well, I guess some people can't handle their false idols getting knocked...

    Lois Lane : Listen, Willis, just what is your problem with Superman?

    Leslie Willis : Problems, plural. First, he's never around when you need him. Second, everything's just so darn easy for him. And third, all he cares about is himself. I think that sums it up. Hey, we're almost out of time, but remember, tonight in Centennial Park is my third anniversary celebration. We're having a big blowout with guests and surprises, baby, so be there, or else.
