Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Lois, you and I haven't exactly been . . . getting along. It's my fault. I should tell you--

  Lois Lane : Yeah, it's your fault! It's your fault . . . and it's my fault. You know, we let ourselves get distracted, and we work too much, and we fight about silly things . . . and all because we're trying to hide from each other, and I'm sick of it! The only reason to hide is because we're scared.

  Clark Kent : Of what?

  Lois Lane : Of the fact that we're partners . . . and best friends . . . and this.

  [kisses him] 

  Lois Lane : Clark, if you're going to run away from this, tell me now.

  Clark Kent : I'm not going to run, Lois. I'm ready to take the next step, if you are.

• [Clark tries to apologize after he just ran out on Lois. So she starts to mock him] 

  Lois Lane : No, don't say a word. Allow me. "Lois, I can explain. I suddenly remembered that I had to get my mother's sister's poodle's hair cut, and so you can see why I had to leave you in the middle of our date with your thumb in your ear. But I'm sure you'll understand."

• Lois Lane : He doesn't love you, Elise. You can tell when a man loves you by the way he treats you, by the way he looks at you, by the way...

  Elise Carr : Look, Ms. Lane, if you've found the perfect man, then I'm happy for you.

  Lois Lane : No, he's about as far from perfect as you get, but I'll tell you the difference between him and Calvin. I know that he wants my happiness more than his own.

• Lois Lane : So basically what you're saying is, all my life I've attracted men that are controlling, incomplete, or downright liars because... because...

  Dr. Friskin : Keep going.

  Lois Lane : Because that's how I want to be treated? But if I want that kind of man, and I get that kind of man, why am I not happy?

  Dr. Friskin : You like chocolate, right?

  Lois Lane : How come everybody knows that?

  Dr. Friskin : But you know it's not good for you, and the older and wiser we get, the less tolerance we have for something that's not good for us. You're not a victim, Lois, so stop acting like one. You know who you want to be with, you've known all along. The problem is, he's just as scared as you are. So, who's going to be the first to step up and say the scary words?

  Lois Lane : How come you don't ask the simple questions?

  Dr. Friskin : I would... if I knew the easy answers.

• Lois Lane : I just want one man. One whole man. Is that too much to ask for? And what do I have to chose from? I have one guy whose really wonderful, only he disappears every time I try and talk to him. And one guy whose really exciting to be with, only he won't talk to me about his work. What are people supposed to talk about if they won't talk about what they did all day? And one guy who is out of this world- - - literally.

  Dr. Friskin : I thought you'd given up the Superman fantasy?

  Lois Lane : My head has but you know, my heart is just... conflicted.
