- Dr. Friskin: Everybody needs a break from their job. When was the last time you had a vacation? I mean really, just got away from Metropolis?
- Superman: I spent some time in London last year.
- Dr. Friskin: Well that's wonderful. How long were you there?
- Superman: About 2 minutes. I was diverting a wayward missile.
- Dr. Friskin: How relaxing.
- Dr. Friskin: We could continue tomorrow, say 10 AM?
- Superman: Yeah, sure, as long as I'm not saving the world or something.
- Lois Lane: I haven't had great luck with psychiatrists.
- Dr. Friskin: Oh, you've spent some time in therapy.
- Lois Lane: Oh, no. It's just that the last psychiatrist that I saw had an exact double of me made and tried to have me killed.
- Dr. Friskin: How did that make you feel?
- Lois Lane: I have to go out for a while, Jimmy. Hold down the fort.
- Jimmy Olsen: Isn't that what they said to Jim Bowie at the Alamo.
- Receptionist: [to Superman] Uh-huh. No permanent address. No social security number and no medical insurance. I assume you'll be paying in cash?
- Perry White: All right, let's break for lunch. You can bring me up to speed on what you got so far.
- Clark Kent: Chief, it's 9:15 in the morning.
- Perry White: So what? Am I in charge here?
- Dr. Friskin: Do you have a girlfriend right now?
- Superman: Yes. No. It's kind of complicated. I haven't exactly told her everything about me, and I'm afraid that that is, well, it's making her drift toward this other guy.
- Dr. Friskin: Does he have superpowers too?
- Bill Church Jr.: [after discovering the effects of red kryptonite] Well, this is better than killing him. He just doesn't care. That was the problem with the green kryptonite, it always ticked him off
- Bill Church Jr.: So, have you thought any more about my offer?
- Perry White: Your offer. Hmm. Let's see, uh... All I have to do.. to take you up on your offer is, uh, what... Give up my pride, my integrity, throw away the public trust that I've earned through 35 years of hard work? Just to back of my responsibility to the American peaple to give them the truth?
- Bill Church Jr.: Basically.
- Bill Church Jr.: Intergang. I run it. Now do the pieces fit?
- Perry White: Yeah, like horns on a June bug.
