  Lois Lane : What about Meyerson?

  Perry White : He's busy.

  Lois Lane : Burns?

  Perry White : Budapest.

  Lois Lane : Forget Kent.

  Perry White : Uh-uh, he's a good man.

  Lois Lane : Kent is a hack from Smallville. I couldn't make that name up.

  Perry White : Kent or nobody.

  Lois Lane : Fine. Don't ever say that I'm not a team player.

• Lois Lane : You are a strange one, Clark Kent.

  Clark Kent : Am I?

  Lois Lane : Yeah, but I think I got you figured out.

  Clark Kent : Really?

  Lois Lane : [a little dazed]  There was a bomb. He...ate it.

• Lois Lane : And let's get something straight, I did not work my buns off to become an investigative reporter for the Daily Planet just to baby-sit some hack from Nowheresville! And another thing, you are not working with me, you are working for me. I call the shots, I ask the questions. You are low man - I am top banana and that's the way I like it, comprende?

  Clark Kent : You like to be on top. Got it.

  Lois Lane : Don't push me Kent, you are way out of your league.

• Lois Lane : [regarding Cat Grant]  What do men see in her, anyway? Don't they realize she's just looking for another notch on her garter belt?

  Lois Lane : [angrily]  Nowhere!

  Jimmy Olsen : I'm coming, too.

• Lois Lane : I still can't believe you came barreling in here like some 500-pound gorilla! If you really thought we were in trouble, why didn't you bring the police?

  Clark Kent : Look...

  Lois Lane : Don't tell me, I already know! You're like every other man in Metropolis! You've got this testosterone surplus that says, "I can do it myself"!

  Clark Kent : Lois, I've somehow managed to...

  Lois Lane : Mess everything up? No kidding!
