Dana Delany: Lois Lane

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [Barging into Perry White's office]  Chief! I spent a week on the docks with rats and frizzed hair exposing the biggest gun-smuggling ring to hit this town in ten years and what makes the front page? Some sprouty, new age, granola-crunching fluff piece on angels! What's next? Interviews with Bigfoot?

  Perry White : Good timing, Lois. I wanted you to be the first to know, I'm hiring a new guy on the city desk.

  Lois Lane : Is he cute?

  Perry White : Uh... you tell me.

  [Lois spins around and sees Clark standing there] 

  Lois Lane : Oh... hi.

• [Lois finds Clark ahead of her at the Lexcorp press conference] 

  Lois Lane : How'd you get here before me?

  Clark Kent : Well, I just flew.

  Lois Lane : What'd you get?

  Clark Kent : [puts away his notebook]  A shared byline, if you use it.

  Lois Lane : I take it back. You're not the rube hayseed I took you for.

  Clark Kent : Thanks... I think.

• Lois Lane : [after her previous skepticism of him, Superman saves her from a falling iron beam]  No way.

• Perry White : This is the guy, Lois. Clark Kent from Smallville.

  Lois Lane : Smallville? Never heard of it.

  Clark Kent : Have you ever been to Kansas?

  Lois Lane : God, no!

  Perry White : I've been reading his stuff. It's good. I thought maybe he could tag along with you for a few days to get the lay of the land.

  Lois Lane : I'd love to play den mother, chief, but I got that LexCorp story in half an hour.

  Perry White : Oh, yeah. The great and benevolent Mr. Luthor is demonstrating a new weapons system today. Usually, Lex is Lois's beat, but I'm sure she won't mind having another set of eyes with her. Right, Lois?

  Lois Lane : [cut them leaving]  Look, Smallville, nothing against you, but even as a kid, I never liked babysitting. You wanna keep up with me, you gotta be quick. I'm no tour guide, and I don't hold hands.

  Clark Kent : You won't have to worry about that.

• Lois Lane : Angela, don't tell me you're actually covering a real news event. What happened? Run out of alien abductees?

  Angela Chen : Hey, Lois, at least my network doesn't have to send two reporters to cover the same story.

  [Lois is surprised to see Clark] 

  Angela Chen : You'll have to introduce us sometime.

• Lois Lane : Jimmy Olsen, say hello to Clark Kent.

  Jimmy Olsen : The new guy?

  Clark Kent : Yeah.

  Jimmy Olsen : Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Jimmy. I work as a copy boy, but I'm really a photographer.

  Clark Kent : Good for you.

  Jimmy Olsen : If you've got a minute, I'd like to show you my pictures.

  Clark Kent : Well, not right...

  Jimmy Olsen : They're hot, Mr. Kent, really. I-I'm, like, fearless. You can ask Ms. Lane. She uses me all the time.

  Lois Lane : [getting on the elevator]  Bye.

  Clark Kent : So I see.

• Angela Chen : Metropolis can boast of many amazing sights; the country's biggest bridge, the world's tallest building, but now it may have its most astonishing sight yet: a guardian angel. Just ask little Danitra Evans. She saw him.

  Danitra Evans : I was fooling around the window when I lost my balance and fell. Suddenly, this big blue angel with red wings came down and caught me. He put me on the ground and flew away. You should've heard my mommy scream.

  Angela Chen : This is where they found Danitra, and that's where she fell from.

  [her camera pans up a skyscraper] 

  Angela Chen : 30 floors up. If it wasn't an angel that saved her, what was it?

  Lois Lane : Friendly pigeons.

  Ron Troupe : What's the matter, Lois? Don't you believe in angels?

  Lois Lane : It's TV, boys. Just a trumped-up story to boost ratings.

• LexCorp Presenter : Ladies and gentlemen of the press, at this time, we invite everyone into the main hall for our special presentation: the long-awaited debut of the next word in military defense: the Lexo-Skell 5000. Constructed from a patented alloy, the Lexo-Suit is virtually indestructible. As seen in this test footage against these automated tanks, the Lexo-Suit stands up to heavy punishment, and returns it in kind. Guiding this suit is a single soldier, made more powerful than an entire battalion. And now, here's to the future and the man who's created it, Lex Luthor.

  Lois Lane : [watching with Clark]  Betcha this beats the dog-and-pony shows back home.

  [hearing something, he uses his x-ray vision and sees a group of unknown aircraft approaching] 

  John Corben : Time to crash the party, gentlemen.

  Clark Kent : Excuse me.

  Lex Luthor : I'd like to say that I view the Lexo-Suit not as an instrument of war, but as an instrument to end war.
