Lois and Clark Season 3 Quotes - Part 3

(yelling at the hotel manager)

Lois: Look, my wedding is in three days, I have relatives flying in from all over the country, that is, assuming they can land, and we're tired, and we're wet, and I have a very loud voice.

 
Clark: So, I guess right about now he'd probably be saying how sorry he was to have left home because he missed out seeing his little girl grow up into the most lovely woman that anyone has ever seen.

Lois: And my mother would say it served him right. But then she'd admit that, if teaching their child the value of love was important, they'd done their job. And your parents would remind me that the son that came to them was the most special of gifts they now shared with me. And they'd ask me to protect him with all the strength he uses to protect others.

 

Lois: Mom, Clark is the best thing in my life, and I almost missed him because I was too busy controlling-- my work, my feelings, everything. I got lucky -- he made me notice him.

 

Lois: Mother, not all aliens are bad, assuming there are such things.

Ellen: Of course they're bad. They eat your brains. I read the papers. They abduct women for bizarre sexual experiments.

Lois: (interest piqued)  Bizarre? Like what?

 

(Unaware that he has married a clone of Lois while his fiancée has been kidnapped, Clark tries to convey to his parents that his marriage has gone unconsummated.)

Clark: You know how, when the holidays come up, and you're all excited about making your house just explode with warmth and love? So you, you go out, and you buy a new box of lights, and you hang em on the tree, and you're just waiting for that burst of warmth and love, and then you plug 'em in and then . . . nothing happens.

Jonathan: Nothing happens?

Clark: Nothing.

Jonathan: No sparks? No flickering? No electricity at all?

Clark: The power is out.

Martha: The two of you have more electricity than anyone I've ever seen, and I think we've pretty much beaten this metaphor to death.

 

Lex (to Superman): Now, tell me, be honest, isn't one of us without the other incomplete, almost unnecessary? Or am I all alone here?

 

Lois clone: I really need to talk to you. Alone! Subtle hint!

(FYI: Clones have a lifespan of two weeks) 
Lois clone: Well, is it okay if I love you?

Clark: Sure, yes. Just don't kill anybody over it, okay?

Lois clone: Ohmigod, that was two days ago. You have got to learn to let things go.

 

Lex: You know, it occurs to me, Martha, that, if I'd had a mother as loving as you, I might be a better person. Thank God I didn't.

 

(Lois has lost her memory and is institutionalized)

Jimmy: C.K., you know that there's a chance, slim, that Lois might not recover.

Clark: No, Jimmy, there is no chance of that. None.

 

Lois: I think I remember wanting to fly. I wanted to feel safe, up and away from all the confusion down here. I still have dreams about flying over the city. Actually, they seem more like memories.

Lois: I feel like Nancy Drew, whoever that is.

Lois: First, I break in. Now, I'm about to go through this man's office. How can something so wrong feel so right?

(Still without memories) 
Lois: You're giving me that look.

Clark: What look?

Lois: That Lois-has-gone-off-the-deep-end-in-pursuit-of-an-angle look.

Clark: I just don't think we should rush into anything.

Lois: Well, sometimes you have to rush.

Clark: And sometimes you have to be careful.

Lois: I am careful.

Clark: You are never careful.

Lois: And you always walk on eggshells.

Clark: Well, I'm just trying to be thorough.

Lois: What, I'm not?

Clark: Why did you say that?

Lois: Say what?

Clark: That I always walk on eggshells. You said that I always walk on eggshells. How would you know I always do anything unless you remembered that I do?

Lois: I don't know. I don't know how I know. I know. I just know that this conversation is driving me nuts. Goodnight. (storms off)

(Whooping at the heavens)

Clark: The sign! Yes! Thank you! Thank you!

 

(Clark is unusually upbeat for a guy whose fiancée doesn’t even remember she’s engaged to him)

Jimmy: C.K., are you okay?

Clark: (still very up) Lois thinks I'm a jerk. Hee, hee.

Jimmy: Hee, hee. That's . . . great.

Lois: I always knew I was meant to fly.

Superman: Yes, Lois, you were.

Lois: You seem very sure.

Superman: I am.

Lois: You're the strongest man in the world, but there's such gentleness in your eyes.

Clark: My advice -- seize the moment, Chief, because you never know when your relationship's gonna get hit with a busted-up wedding, a psychopathic killer, amnesia, or multiple personalities. Go to dinner, Chief.

Perry: You've seen it all, haven't you, son?

Clark: I hope so. What else could there be?
(On not tempting fate)

 

(Lois’ psychiatrist Dr. Deter is taking advantage of her amnesia by brainwashing her into believing she’s falling in love with him. Our heroes are finally getting clued in.)

Jimmy: This guy's bedside manner includes breakfast in the morning.

Perry: Just take your cue from the master of cool here, huh? Slow and easy.

(Lois and Deter walk in).

Lois: Perry, Jimmy, Clark, I quit.

Jimmy: You what?

Lois: I need to get away so that I can totally recover.

Deter: We're leaving the country.

Clark: No, no, you can't.

Lois: We're going to the South of France. Max has a home there, and he thinks that one-on-one intensive therapy. . . .

Perry: (Lunging at Deter) What are you doing, you little brainsucker?

Clark: Lois, listen to me.

Lois: No, I know what's best for me.

Perry: Hey, what's the deal here?

Jimmy: Chief, calm down.

Perry: No, the gates are up, and this calamity train is gonna stop now!

Jimmy: Breathe or something.

Clark: Lois, I can't let you go, not this time.

Deter: Clark, you have no choice in this.

Clark: Deter, trust me on this, you have no idea who you're talking to.

 

(Having newly regained her memory)

Lois: (To Clark) Hold that thought. (Walks over to Dr. Deter). Doctor, I think our time is just about up. (She punches Deter and looks at Clark) I'm back!

 
Clark: And do you remember this? (He slips the ring on her finger).

Lois: I do.

 

(Flicking through Lois’ high school yearbook)

Clark: You got elected with that hair?

Lois: I was stuck in my Charlie's Angels phase. Everybody was.

 

Lois: Of course, where else it would be? Every villain in the universe seems to operate out of Metropolis. For once, I just wish we could have a villain in Maui, or Aspen, Monte Carlo.

 

(Talk about commitment issues)

Lois: I had the weirdest dream. I dreamed I was in this house in the backyard and I had this chef's hat on. I was barbecuing burgers, and my legs were turning into roots, and they were growing into the ground, and I was screaming, "I am not an oak. I am free."

 

Clark: When I was growing up, my home meant permanence, a place to be safe. My life, it's so chaotic now, going from disaster to disaster. I just always dreamed of having my own real home.

Lois: When I was a kid, home was where mom was in the lounge chair getting drunk, and daddy was in the backyard burning steaks, and trying to explain what he was doing kissing Mrs. BelCanto in the church parking lot. Permanence wasn't so permanent at my house.

Clark: Lois, you and I are going to be as permanent as permanent can be.

Lois: So, I guess I should stop running?

Clark: I won't burn the steaks. I promise.

Lois: Forget the steaks. Just don't be kissing Mrs. BelCanto.

 

(New Kryptonians Zara and Ching arrive to tell them that Clark’s the legitimate ruler of New Krypton, that he was married at birth to Zara and that if he doesn’t come with them now a civil war will break out and kill thousands of people on New Krypton. Meanwhile Lady Zara is in love with her lieutenant Ching)

Clark: Apparently, she's my wife.

Lois: Your wife.

Clark: On Krypton.

Lois: Oh, well, we're not on Krypton.

 
Lois: Yeah, well, I guess it would take a special guy to shuck his adoring parents and the woman he loves for a life of loneliness and violence, possible death on some space rock. Maybe I'm missing the big picture.

Clark: No, no, this is obviously a very emotional topic for you.

Lois: Yeah, well, us wacky Earth women, we get mighty cranky about losing our husbands.

 

Clark: Well, that's too bad. Because as loud and cluttered and sloppy as this world is, it's also full of passion, feelings. Like I have for Lois. And feeling like that, that is the greatest thing there is.

Zara: And it's a selfish thing. Certainly for people with noble blood.

Clark: This thing that I have with Lois, it's the kind of thing you never, ever let go of because it is one of the few perfect things in this world. And I value that above all else. Above my own life.

 

Lois: You've had two weddings and only the one to her is real.

 

Lois: You're asking me to sacrifice everything for a world I'll never see.

Zara: I'm asking you to save a world that is robbing us both of the men we love.

 

Lois: Lieutenant, without kindness, what is your homeland worth? Without love, what are your lives worth?

 

Clark: Lois, I have loved you from the beginning.

Lois: And I'll love you til the end.

Clark: In my heart, I am your husband.

Lois: And I'm your wife.

Clark: Always.

 

(speaking to the masses before leaving for New Krypton)

Superman: Emerson said, "Self trust is the essence of heroism." Inside each of you is a hero. And, so I leave, knowing that a world full of heroes has nothing to fear.

 

Lois: (collapsing as Clark leaves for New Krypton) It's over. Everything's over.

Jonathan: Dearest Lois, a love that risks nothing is worth nothing.
