(Xavier’s Virtual Fantasy)

Lois: You beat Superman.

X: To a pulp.

Lois: Oh, thank you. I was getting so sick of him.

 

Clark: Well, my experience has been a little different.

Lois: Mmm, Hmm.

Clark: I'm a little different.

Lois: Sure.

Clark: I mean, I've had girlfriends. I've dated. But that thing, the intimacy threshold, the big threshold. I've never really crossed it.

Lois: So, what you're saying is is you're a vir . . . vir . . . vuh . . . a very patient man.

 

Lois: Oh, I love your parents. They're just so . . . not insane.

 

Ellen Lane: I don't think a pill can relieve years of neglect and betrayal.

Lois: Try two.

 

Clark: Mom, it's great you got the license number. I'm just saying you shouldn't chase muggers.

Lois: It's okay, Martha, he tells me the same thing.

 

Lois: Well, uh, I . . . I've always admired the Swiss. And, um, their chocolate is to die for, and those cuckoo clocks. Wow!

 

Beverly Lipman: Well, you don't absolutely need shoes, but sooner or later your feet are bloody stumps.

 

(In the middle of a séance)

Star the psychic: Lois, it's your purse. Is there something evil in your purse?

Lois: Just my credit cards.

 

Clark: Preschool? We don't even get married for three more weeks.

Lois: Well, Winky Tink says now's the time. They've got a five-year waiting list, and they require a $200 deposit.

Clark: Do they also require a child?

Lois: Nope. Just money.

 

Bud Collins: Superman, did anybody tell you you look just like Clark Kent, only without the glasses? (dies)

 

Jimmy: I don't know, bad people. I punched 'em!

Clark: Did they say anything?

Jimmy: No. They were too busy shooting and fighting. I punched 'em!

Clark: You already said that.

 

Perry: Have you heard from Lois?

Clark: Lois?

Perry: Yeah, she left here and went to Star Labs to see Jimmy. But I just called there. Olsen left. She never made it.

Clark: Where's Jimmy?

Perry: He never made it back here. Where's Jack Olsen?

Clark: Gone. Where's the computer?

Perry: With Jimmy.

Clark: Well, that's great. We just lost everyone.

Perry: Yeah, we're totally incompetent.

 

Jack: (To Clark) I believed in what I was doing. I believed in it so much, I had to lead a double life. But what would you know about that?

 

Lois: Well, I'll tell you what you can learn from Jack. Not all men are cut out to be fathers. It's not the job, it's the man, and piano tuner or spy, Jack just wasn't ready for the responsibility of a family. And you are.

Clark: Trying to convince yourself?

Lois: No, lunkhead, I'm trying to convince you. The mere fact that you care so much, proves it.

Clark: You are good. Awesome.

Lois: True.

* * *

Clark: Lunkhead?

Lois: In the best sense of the word.

 

Lois: (After Clark tells her he's invited Lana Lang to their wedding) Oh, an old girlfriend.

Clark: Lois, you're getting that sound in your voice.

Lois: What sound?

Clark: That any second claws are going to pop out of your fingers. Phht, phht, phht. I'm going to have to get you a saucer of milk.

Lois: Meow!

 

Tempus the time traveller: Hi, Lois. Remember me?

Lois: No.

Tempus: (Taking off his glasses) How about now?

 

(Tempus strands Lois in an alternate universe – one without a Superman.)

Lois: So, in plain English, Ben Hur is President and I'm wormfood. I'm getting married next week, why does this keep happening to me?

 

Alt-Clark: I'm sorry, I just, I just have a lot of trouble believing all of this.

Lois: What? That Tempus is a criminal? That he's H.G. Wells? Or that we're from a parallel Metropolis?

Alt-Clark: No, that this other me flies around in tights.

 

(Having taken Time traveler Herbert George Wells prisoner)

HG Wells: You’ll never get away with this, Tempus!

Tempus: Get away with what? Becoming mayor of Metropolis by murdering candidate Perry White? Because somebody might stop me? Big, brawny, looks good in blue? Gee, if only I lived in a dimension with no Superman. Oh wait, duh, I do!

 

Lois: Stay calm. Stay calm. Okay, I'm high up, I'm blind, my hands are tied, the ledge is falling apart…. Okay, panic.

 

Tempus: Herb, if I wanted to kill her, I'd beat her to death with a frozen lamb chop and then eat it with a nice Merlot.

 

Tempus: No, I want to torture her, send her into a spasm of sheer terror.

Wells: Why?

Tempus: Because it's good TV. It's fun for the whole family. And then there are those magic words guaranteed to make it a ratings bonanza, "Help, Superman, save me." Only this time, there's no Superman.

 

Tempus: Only thing that would ruin this would be a commercial.

 

Tempus: Now ask yourself, Herb: Why is there no Superman here? Is it because this Clark lost his parents? Didn't have their loving support? Or is it because he was denied the daily impetus of being in love with a woman who's always throwing herself into death's jaws and screaming for . . .

Lois: Help!

 

Tempus: Yes, Herb, I'm the bad guy. We always have a plan.

 

Lois: But it's so much more than that. It's a symbol. You're making yourself into a beacon.

Clark: Are you always like this?

Lois: I'm sorry. I'm a little high-strung.

Clark: Lady, you're a Stradivarius.

 

Tempus: Ah, the heroine creates her hero. A mythically moving moment. Herb, am I still a man in your eyes if I weep?

 

Alt-Superman: Just because I'm not wearing my glasses, are you sure no one's gonna recognize me?

Lois: Positive.

 

Alt-Superman: (To his fiancée Alt-Lana) Well, I've decided that I need. . . . No. I've decided that the world needs me.

Lana: Needs you to what? Model men's underwear? Bring capes back in fashion?

 

Alt-Superman: Honestly, I don't know how you thought a pair of glasses would keep people from recognizing me. It's kind of ridiculous.

Lois: Don't get me started.

 

Wells: What do you think Shakespeare meant when he wrote, "In apprehension, how like a god?" It's not that gods are anxious about their responsibilities but, with such great weight, comes great understanding. Trust that, Clark. And trust that you've found your true destiny and that, in you, a once hopeless world has found its future.

 

Wells: He's quite a man, the Clark Kent of this world.

Lois: I just wish he didn't have to be alone.

Wells: The hardest lesson is that love can be so fair to some and so cruel to others. Even those who would be gods.


(Back at home)
Lois: Clark, about Lana Lang.

Clark: Yeah?

Lois: Let's go ahead and invite her to the wedding. I think I have a pretty good idea about why it didn't work out between you two and why it'll always work with us. No matter how crazy the world gets.

I just wanted to say...that I love you and I swear...one of these days I will stop everything in the world around me so that maybe I'll be able to live my bloody life and get a few things accomplished.

I don't think you can wait for the world to stop turning to start living your life, love.
But, at the risk of sounding mushier than half the dialogue in Lois and Clark season four, I must say, I love you loads too!
PS: "Bloody"? From an American? Sure sign you've been reading too much HP!
=D
