Clark Kent : Lois?
Lois Lane : [in British accent] Lois? Who's Lois? I'm Stiletto. I should get back to my cave.
Clark Kent : Lois, you could have a bag over your head and I'd still know it's you.
Lois Lane : Go figure. I want the Red-Blue Blue, I get the exact opposite.
Clark Kent : What do you think you're doing?
Lois Lane : What are you doing? You're supposed to be feeding Shelby. Seriously, is there any woman in your life you haven't stood up?
Clark Kent : I saw the way you looked at that scanner and I know how much you want the superhero story, so I came here to make sure you're okay. You're obviously not if you're impersonating the Stiletto.
Lois Lane : Okay, first off, it's just Stiletto. There is no "the". And second, I'm not impersonating anyone. I *am* Stiletto.
Clark Kent : You made up a fake superhero so you could write a story?
Lois Lane : Yeah. Stiletto's only the beginning, Clark. These heels could kick down some major doors for me. What if Stiletto could help me land a one-on-one with the Red-Blue Blur?
Clark Kent : Well, this blur, he - he avoids reporters for a reason.
-
[Lois answers the phone booth and its Clark on the other end as the Red-Blue Blur]
Clark Kent : I received your letter, Miss Lane.
Lois Lane : Call me Lois... if you want. And while we're at it, you wanna weigh in on the whole Red-Blue Blur thing, because it's kind of a mouth full on this end.
Clark Kent : I think there's probably a better name out there. And if there's anyone who can find it, it's you, Miss Lane.
-
Lois Lane : Meet Stiletto. I was going to sew an "S" into the chest. Is that tacky?
-
Lois Lane : You're only as good as your last story, and I wrote mine so long ago it was practically with a feather pen. I need that news splash - the pregnant man or an impeached president... or, better yet, a rendezvous with a superhero.
Chloe Sullivan : I thought you gave up on the costumed crusaders after The Red-Blue Blur ignored your open letter begging for an interview.
Lois Lane : Can you blame the guy? What was I thinking? If you want your first interview with a rock star, you don't start with Springsteen.
Chloe Sullivan : [Chuckles] I had idea you we such a groupie of the red, bold, and blue.
Lois Lane : Well, who isn't? The man has reinvented the American hero. Think about it. He saves people. He's mysterious, completely unavailable. What part of that doesn't scream "Lois Lane"?
-
Stiletto : [in pain from her stilettos] Next time, I call myself Nike.
-
Lois Lane : You know what?
[showing Chloe her superhero suit]
Lois Lane : Surprise! I'm Stiletto.
Chloe Sullivan : Lois. Oh, my god, you did this for a story. Didn't you?
Lois Lane : Okay. Clark's diatribe is still ringing in my ears. I don't need it in surround sound.
-
Clark Kent : Looks like you got your cover story after all.
Lois Lane : I guess.
Clark Kent : You guess? The last time your name was above the fold, you held a champagne toast. Is there something about this article that's still bothering you?
Lois Lane : Fine, I admit it. Sometimes, the Lois Fast Lane ambition ramps into cruise control and gets away from me.
-
Clark Kent : Those mob guys would still be on the street if you hadn't come to my rescue.
Lois Lane : Your rescue. Yeah, right. You're the one with the... Smallville, if you hadn't been there to...
Clark Kent : You're welcome, Lois. I hope this means that Stiletto's hanging up her heels for good.
Lois Lane : Gladly. Those heels were giving my blisters blisters. Besides, if Mannheim had better aim... you'd be dead. And if was really sweet of you to, you know... throw yourself in there, but, uh, I never should have put you in danger. It's not like you save lives for a living.
Clark Kent : No. There's only one Red-Blue Blur.
Lois Lane : Honestly, I don't envy the guy. After walking a mile in Stiletto's shoes, I was reminded that I am not cut out for that life of solitude.
Clark Kent : I didn't know there was room for introspection underneath that costume.
Lois Lane : Wow. Look who got grazed by a funny bullet.
[taking his bear claw]
Lois Lane : You weren't gonna eat this, were you?
-
Lois Lane : Hello to you, too. Expecting Freddy Krueger?
Chloe Sullivan : What are you doing here? I thought you were tracking down Stiletto.
Lois Lane : Oh, that story broke a proverbial heel. It's not happening.
-
Lois Lane : Okay, obviously there's been some sort of mistake. It's not like I squeezed into five-inch booted heels for my health.
Hostess : Ms. Lane, there's simply nothing I can do.
Lois Lane : Actually, there is. You can tell Edward R. Murrow that he can kiss this cub reporter's sweet little...
Chloe Sullivan : [approaching] Lois!
Lois Lane : Chloe, thanks for coming. The gargoyle at the gate was letting in everyone but me.
-
Lois Lane : [after being denied entry to a press event] That was *the* event for journalist achievement, and Lois Lane isn't even a plus one.
-
Lois Lane : Page ten? Why don't you just bury my Stiletto sighting with the classifieds while you're at it?
Randall Brady : The next time you pull me from a press-society banquet, at least get me a story with a picture.
Lois Lane : Something tells me Stiletto's got a bad case of camera shy.
Randall Brady : She's not posing for a head shot. Get her in action on the street.
Lois Lane : [sarcastic] Sure, no problem. I'll just ask to see her schedule of upcoming saves.
-
Clark Kent : Chloe told me about the attack. She said you mentioned someone named Stiletto?
Lois Lane : Patience, Smallville. Tomorrow, you can drool over her with the rest of the world. I'm fine, by the way. Thanks for asking.
-
Clark Kent : [giving Lois' article a once-over] Stiletto gave you all these quotes?
Lois Lane : She was talkative.
-
Clark Kent : Look, I need you to put me in contact with her.
Lois Lane : Get your own hero. I have to respect her request to keep a low profile. It is not every day that a superhero entrusts me with her phone number.
Clark Kent : She gave you her number?
Lois Lane : Sorry. My eyes only, Smallville.
-
Clark Kent : Lois, this carjacker took Chloe's computer. It has all her Isis client information on it. If this Stiletto was the last person to see this guy, I need to talk to her.
Lois Lane : Look, if you wanna help Chloe, why don't you go downtown and talk to the thug they did catch? Maybe Stiletto left enough teeth in his mouth for him to rat out his buddy.
-
Jimmy Olsen : Lois, come on. I can't be late for work.
[she swings in in costume]
Jimmy Olsen : What are you doing?
Stiletto : Picking up your rebound.
Jimmy Olsen : Lois. I'm, uh, I'm really flattered, but I just broke up with Chloe.
Lois Lane : Ew. No. I mean rebound your career. Nothing numbs the pain of a breakup like good, old-fashioned work.
Jimmy Olsen : Look, I'm not here to be saved. You mentioned a hundred bucks. Now, what do you want me to shoot?
Stiletto : [putting on her mask] Metropolis' newest superhero.
-
Lois Lane : I sort of quoted Stiletto in one of my articles, and my editor said that I need a photo to get a page one.
Jimmy Olsen : Well, I guess I didn't see the giant asterisk above Lois Lane's rules to reporting that said "Or just make it up."
-
Lois Lane : Slow night.
Clark Kent : I'm good if you wanna go. If the Red-Blue Blur calls, I'll be sure to patch him through.
Lois Lane : Oh, that's right, because your idea of being a hero is making sure there's still paper in the fax machine.
-
Stiletto : [hearing her neoprene suit squeak] Wonderful. Very stealth, Lois.
-
Lois Lane : Jimmy's not answering his phone, and I was just wondering if perhaps you knew...
Chloe Sullivan : Where my ex was? I thought that's what Facebook updates were for. Why are you even looking for him?
Lois Lane : Uh... I needed his help photographing something, and now I need his help burning the evidence.
-
Lois Lane : [bringing Clark breakfast at work] Nothing like a double-frosted bear claw to ease the pain of a flesh wound, right?
-
Chloe Sullivan : [listening to Lois gush about the Red-Blue Blur] God, you seriously have a crush on him, don't you?
Lois Lane : I respect his heroism, professionally. But even when I did lower the bar and tried to slum a Green Arrow interview, it turns out Mr. Emerald Chaps is another closet case when it comes to publicity.
Chloe Sullivan : Lois, they wear costumes because they don't want publicity. Now, hurry up. I'm parked illegally.
Lois Lane : Uh. Hold on. These heels are silent killers.
-
Clark Kent : [learning Lois is using Stiletto as a means to land an interview with the Red-Blue Blur] What would you say to him no one else already has?
Lois Lane : I wouldn't say anything, Clark. I'd listen.
Clark Kent : What if he's not looking for a best friend?
Lois Lane : Superpowered or not, every Fred needs a Barney.
Clark Kent : Unless it's based on a lie. Besides, it could be dangerous. Eventually, you'll find yourself in a situation you can't Stiletto yourself out of.
Lois Lane : Stiletto kicked ass last night. You should have seen the guy I sent downtown.
Clark Kent : I couldn't. By the time I got there, some attorney named Moynihan already got him off before I could talk to him about Chloe's car.
Lois Lane : Chris Moynihan? He represents Ron Milano.
Clark Kent : The biggest crime boss in Metropolis.
Lois Lane : Then let's go save the world. I'm in the market for a sidekick, anyway. Just don't slow me down.
Clark Kent : I'll find Milano on my own. You're gonna do everything you can to make sure your Stiletto story doesn't get published.
-
Lois Lane : [after Clark took a bullet for her] Why did you do that, Clark? You didn't need to be some kind of hero.
Clark Kent : [affected by the kryptonite in the room] Lois... you have to get me out of here.
-
Lois Lane : When am I gonna learn that a wild goose chase for a story usually ends with a rotten egg?
-
Clark Kent : [disguising his voice] Is this Lois Lane, the reporter?
Lois Lane : Who wants to know?
Clark Kent : This is the Red-Blue Blur.
Lois Lane : Yeah, right. How do I know you're not some Deep Throat wannabe with a lot of time on his creepy hands?
[the sound of him speeding past is heard]
Clark Kent : Look down.
[doing so, she sees her invitation to him in the Planet's opinion section]
-
Clark Kent : [disguising his voice] You're nervous.
Lois Lane : Can you read my mind?
[scoffing]
Lois Lane : Who am I kidding? It's Saturday night and I hightailed it down here because I have one obsession right now, and it's you. And when you didn't reply to my skywriting, I just...
Clark Kent : It was a nice one, by the way.
Lois Lane : Between you and me, I could use a little work on that subtle thing.
Clark Kent : You know there's nothing wrong with taking your job seriously.
Lois Lane : There is when you don't know who you'd be without it.
Clark Kent : Something tells me you know yourself better than you think. Lois, you're a great reporter. All on your own. You don't need a hero or some gimmick to make a headline.
Lois Lane : Thanks. My editor would kill me, but... I don't want this story. What I've really been wondering is... what is it that you need? I mean, you've dedicated your life to a city full of strangers. And I'm not saying that, I know what it's like to be a hero, but... even the fastest blur in the world can't outrun loneliness. I guess what I'm saying is... if you ever wanna talk, totally off the record, I'm only a phone call away.
Clark Kent : I'll keep that in mind. And Lois... when I'm ready to tell the world my secret, you'll be the first to know.
