Quotes

Clark Kent : So, what are you in the mood for?
Lois Lane : Oh, I'm in the mood. Just not for breakfast.
[Lois heads for the door]
Clark Kent : Lois, the bedroom's upstairs.
Lois Lane : Mm-hmm. But the porch swing - it's out there.
-
General Sam Lane : Trust me, Clark is not who you think he is. Now, a couple call to the NSA, and we'll find out what he's hiding.
Lois Lane : It doesn't matter! Because I love Clark. Everything you need to know about him is standing right in front of you. Talk to *me*. The only thing that matters is how *I* feel.
General Sam Lane : Lois...
Lois Lane : I appreciate that you like straight talk, so I will give it to you in one razor-sharp line. I'm staying with Clark, and if you love me, you will respect that.
-
Lois Lane : Well, this has Lucy written all over it in backstabbing bitch-berry lip gloss.
-
Lois Lane : I'm not happy that you went behind our backs, again. But... I do get trying to protect dad. Our larger-than-life hero needing someone to protect him? Who wouldn't wanna do that?
Lucy Lane : I should have told you what was going on.
Lois Lane : Yeah.
Lucy Lane : But I thought that if... I helped dad on my own, he'd stop seeing me as...
Lois Lane : The troublemaker? Okay, I know I came down on you pretty hard, Lu. But I think that part of me sort of liked the fact that you turned into the troublemaker, because... I was finally able to be the good one.
Lucy Lane : When you say it all out loud, it's just... well, it sounds really exhausting.
Lois Lane : Yeah, I... I think we were so busy trying to be the perfect daughter that... we forgot how to be sisters.
Lucy Lane : No, Lois. You're a great sister.
-
Lois Lane : Please, dad, go back and talk to him. It's Clark, you know him.
General Sam Lane : I can't do that, Lo.
Lois Lane : Why?
General Sam Lane : Because he's in league with masked vigilantes. When he finally pays the price for this, I do not want you to get hurt.
Lois Lane : Not all of your vigilantes are bad. Why do you have to go to DEFCON 1? You haven't met a single one of them.
Lucy Lane : Lois, can you stop running damage control long enough to see that we are just trying to protect you?
Lois Lane : Back off, Lucy, or do you happen to have some compromising photos of me that you'd like to share with the class?
-
Lois Lane : I did everything I could to make today work. I dealt with my family, I helped the Blur, I even found my inner Iron Chef, and all I asked, the only thing you had to do, was deal with my dad for one day.
Clark Kent : Lois, your dad had me investigated by the Pentagon. He has surveillance photos of me with Kara. She's in her costume. I think your sister planted them in the loft.
-
General Sam Lane : Your friend Clark is a dishonest man. And he has dangerous friends. And when the vigilantes try and take over this country with anarchy, he's gonna go down with them. So come on, now. Let's go.
Lois Lane : [reluctant to stand up for herself] I am sorry, Clark.
-
Lois Lane : Careful dad doesn't catch you making with the kung fu there, Paul Bunyan.
Clark Kent : I'm sorry. About what happened with Lucy.
Lois Lane : It wasn't your fault. Still... you can put out a burning building but you can't contain her hot lips?
Clark Kent : She surprised me. But you know what's a bigger surprise? Is that you couldn't stand up to your dad. Unless you actually agree with his Vigilante Registration Act?
Lois Lane : Clark, I am just trying to get through this holiday without a fight.
Clark Kent : Lois, you either agree with him or you don't.
Lois Lane : I don't. But this means something to the General, so please do not make me choose sides.
Clark Kent : I thought you were somebody who stood up for what she believed in. And then when it comes to your father, you do the same thing that he does. You make your choices based on fear.
Lois Lane : Hey, just because you don't have a...
Clark Kent : A what, Lois? Were you gonna say father?
Lois Lane : Okay. What I am trying to say is that you haven't had to deal with a family for a really long time. All you have to answer to is yourself. Clark, if you wanna be with me, you're gonna have to deal with my family, too. I hope you can respect that.
-
Lois Lane : [after catching Lucy kissing Clark] So... so, what? You thought I would catch you two tongue-wrestling and then, what, have a big fight with Clark?
Lucy Lane : Lois, I...
Lois Lane : Just save it. Now, the only reason that I am keeping you around is for dad. So go make yourself useful and get us some ice.
Lucy Lane : There's ice in the freezer.
Lois Lane : Dad likes crushed.
-
General Sam Lane : [seeing a news report of a fire] Clark should see this. Remind him what a real hero is.
Lois Lane : Mm.
Clark Kent : [entering with groceries] Hey. They were out of cranberries.
Lois Lane : The store must have had a *fire* sale, huh, Clark?
[she indicates the TV; behind Sam's back, Clark whooshes away]
General Sam Lane : Where's Clark?
Lois Lane : He... went upstairs.
General Sam Lane : Leave you holding the bags? What happened to being a gentleman, hmm?
-
General Sam Lane : Leave it to the Blur to turn a fire into a photo op.
Clark Kent : [entering] Found the cranberries. They were in the... truck.
Lois Lane : [surreptitiously wiping soot off his face] Where were they, honey, under the hood?
General Sam Lane : Hmm. I thought you said that Clark went upstairs.
Lois Lane : [awkwardly covering] Yeah. He was upstairs, outside.
Clark Kent : Checking the chimney.
Lois Lane : Thanks.
-
Clark Kent : You don't have to be nervous, Lois. Your dad just wants to spend time with you.
Lois Lane : Oh, I think he's more interested in doing recon on the man dating his daughter. So, hopefully someone's monogrammed jacket has vanished in a blur.
Clark Kent : I took care of it. Look, your dad's met me before.
Lois Lane : Before we were a couple, Clark. None of my other boyfriends have ever survived the General's assault.
Clark Kent : I'll be fine.
Lois Lane : Fine? "Fine" won't pass inspection. You have to be perfect. It is important to me that my dad likes you.
Clark Kent : And it's important to me that you are happy. There's nothing to worry about.
Lois Lane : Except maybe if he finds out that you're a superhero. My dad hates superheroes.
-
Clark Kent : It's good to see you, sir.
General Sam Lane : Mm. So... not much has changed around here. Your mother still own the place?
Clark Kent : It is in her name, but I...
General Sam Lane : I see. You live in your mother's house. And you work in a basement. Is that correct?
Clark Kent : Well, it is the bullpen at the Daily Planet. I work side by side with Lois.
General Sam Lane : Ah. She seems to write more articles than you. What exactly do you do with your time, Clark?
Lois Lane : [eavesropping] Hey! Daddy, uh, Clark and I work together a lot. He just, uh, gives me the byline sometimes. That's just how sweet he is.
-
General Sam Lane : I'm the senior military advisor on a new bill, the Vigilante Registration Act.
Clark Kent : And by "vigilante", you mean...
General Sam Lane : Vigilantes, weekend warriors in masks who run around inciting anarchy.
Clark Kent : Well, I don't think they incite anarchy. They stop crime, protect people.
General Sam Lane : And they commit acts of terrorism. Like the RAO tower in Metropolis. Blown to kingdom come. No evidence of explosives. You want to know why? Because one of them superfreaks did it.
Lois Lane : Hmm. You know what? Hey! Daddy, since we're pretending it's a holiday, what say we make it official and... take a furlough from work?
General Sam Lane : Clark, do you know who the real heroes of the world are? The men and women of our armed forces. They have to enlist, go through background checks, training, through our rules, be held accountable for their actions. People start believing in these so-called superheroes, pretty soon the superheroes form cells, start taking the law into their own hands. No, I will not let them compromise our national security. Mm.
Clark Kent : Lois, what do you think?
Lois Lane : [wanting to stay out of it, a pair of potatoes in hand] I think we need some veggies with our starches. Baked or mashed?
Clark Kent : [insulted by her neutrality] Whatever the General would like, of course.
