Anita Torrance: Dr. Evans

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [Walks into the therapy clinic]  Dr. Evans...

  [Sees a patient already there] 

  Lois Lane : I'm going to save you a lot of time and money, okay? It's all your parents' fault.

  Crying Patient : Ahhh...

  [Runs off crying] 

  Dr. Evans : [Enters]  Marjorie?

  Lois Lane : Oh, she had to take off. Family issues.

• Lois Lane : Could you lose the notebook? I'd prefer that all our meetings remain off the record.

  Dr. Evans : Whatever makes you more comfortable, Lois. Why don't you start by describing these dreams you've been having?

  Lois Lane : Okay, well, they're as real as you and me right now. More real, actually. And despite some flashes of some serious NC-17 violence, really the situation involves clothes... coming off. You know, naked. Skin, skin on skin, just... lots of skin.

  Dr. Evans : So it's a sex dream? With the co-worker you mentioned before? Clark Kent?

  Lois Lane : What is this, "Nightline"? All right, yes, I'm doing the virtual Kama Sutra with Clark Kent. My desk is softcore central.

• Dr. Evans : Listen, Lois, you came to me to explore the deeper meaning within these vivid dreams that you've been having. And all of this doesn't have to be taken literally. A lack of clothing in a dream can signify the desire to uncover what's actually hidden.

  Lois Lane : You know, sometimes I do feel that Clark is hiding something. It sounds crazy... but the closer I get to him, the more... I feel like he's going to disappear.

  Dr. Evans : Could this have something to do with your three weeks of blocked memory? Maybe you're trying to protect yourself, Lois. Didn't you say that the last time you opened up to someone, your mysterious caller, he vanished?

  Lois Lane : [her phone rings, and she sees it's the Blur calling]  Speak of the devil. The Halley's Comet of phone dating himself.

  [declining the call] 

  Lois Lane : Sayonara, super stud.

• Dr. Evans : You still have strong feelings for this mystery man.

  Lois Lane : Please. Remember 8-tracks and rotary phones? That's him. Ancient history. And the fact that you haven't gotten that news flash means I'm probably wasting my time with all this head-shrink mumbo jumbo stuff.

  Dr. Evans : Lois, you have projected so much onto this mystery caller. Maybe you should focus on the man that's right in front of you.

• Lois Lane : Look, I know you think you're pretty good at this head-shrinking stuff. But thanks to you, my head is about to explode, and I don't know what to do. I focused on the man in my dreams, and now I found out that my mystery caller and Clark are the same person.

  Dr. Evans : The same?

  Lois Lane : Unbelievable. Up until today, he couldn't lie his way out of a speeding ticket. An-and now he can hold down an alter ego?

  Dr. Evans : Lois, take a step back. What do you think is more likely? That your mysterious caller and Clark are the same man, or that you're trying to make them one person in order to create your dream man?

  Lois Lane : [thinking]  Okay, they're not that different. My mystery caller is brave and selfless, and so is Clark. In his own way. I can't believe how difficult this must have been for him to carry his secret all this time. I just wanna tell him that it doesn't matter to me. But... maybe coming clean isn't the best idea, either. Right now, Clark has this really big decision to make. And more than anything, I just wanna help, but I'm not sure how.

  [getting an idea] 

  Lois Lane : Wait. I know what I have to do. Thanks, doc.

  [hugging her goodbye] 

  Lois Lane : You're a gem. There's gotta be something to this therapy stuff.

• Dr. Evans : I am happy to see that you're alive, Lois. After what I saw on the nightly news. And I never would have guessed that your mysterious caller was none other than Metropolis' famous Blur.

  Lois Lane : I can't believe I was so stupid. I must have been crazy to look at Clark through Blur-colored glasses.

  Dr. Evans : Lois, you are not crazy. That's the point of therapy; to learn about yourself.

  Lois Lane : But just looking at the facts... what's easier to believe, that there was some phone glitch or that the farm guy who sits across from me every day is a superpowered hero?

  Dr. Evans : It's perfectly natural, Lois, to project the heroics of the unattainable men you tend to fall for onto someone close to you.

  Lois Lane : But it would be so much easier if they were the same person. When I heard the Blur's voice again, something stirred inside of me. But my thoughts... I keep going back to Clark. That scared guy... who stepped out onto that ledge to save me.
