Dana Delany: Lois Lane

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : Sabotage?

  Clark Kent : Has to be. Luthor's too careful to foul up like that.

  Lois Lane : But who'd want to destroy Luthor?

  [notices Clark's look] 

  Lois Lane : Well, yeah, but who'd be crazy enough to try?

• Clark Kent : Granted, Lois, Luthor does a lot of strange things. But what reason could he possibly have for trying to fool his own bodyguard?

  Lois Lane : Maybe he just needed some space. Haven't you ever noticed how she hovers over him, everywhere he goes?

  Clark Kent : But, Lois, that's her job.

  Lois Lane : It's no wonder why you're still single, Kent.

• Clark Kent : I wonder what new toy Luthor's showing off to the brass today.

  Lois Lane : Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to wind up on all their Christmas lists.

• Lex Luthor : Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for joining me on this beautiful spring morning. As I speak, two Sidewinder missiles are being fired toward this very building.

  Lois Lane : [angry shouts from audience members]  He's gotta have something up his sleeve.

  Clark Kent : I hope so.

  Lex Luthor : Quiet, please! The missiles will never make it here, thanks to... this.

  [a large weapon is unveiled] 

  Lex Luthor : The LexCorp Sky Sentry. Its high-energy magnetic beam is designed to knock out the guidance system of any incoming missile. Activate.

  [the machine powers down] 

  Lex Luthor : I said activate!

  Sky Sentry Operator : It's not responding, sir. The field setting's been reprogrammed!

• Lois Lane : Hey, Lex. What went wrong? Premature product launch?
