Lois Lane Quotes

	Season 9 / Episode 6: - Crossfire Lois Lane: You know how Clark and I have this side job hosting "Good Morning Metropolis"? Oliver Queen: Uh... Clark Kent's hosting morning television? I can't to watch him show me how to bake a cake. Lois Lane: Well, our first report does have some heat, but it's not about baking. They've set us both up for blind dates. Oliver Queen: [chuckles] Clark's on a blind date? Talk about footage of a train wreck.
	Season 9 / Episode 5: - Roulette Clark Kent: All right, Lois. You show up with every shark movie known to man and 11 loads of laundry when I've seen you take socks to the dry cleaner. Are you okay? Lois Lane: I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine? I'm totally not fine. Even if it is stupid, but - but it's not stupid. It's Oliver's birthday today, and we always go out for beer pongs on our birthdays. But today is about to be yesterday in T-minus... Lois Lane: ...negative minutes. It's over. He totally missed it. How does a guy with nine different phone numbers not return a phone call? Clark Kent: Probably just celebrating with someone else. Lois Lane: Wow. Tall, dark, and single. Go figure. Do you know something? You would tell me if you did, right? Clark Kent: I'm sure Oliver's just fine. But paying him a visit wouldn't hurt.
	Season 9 / Episode 3: - Rabid Lois Lane: Oliver? What are you doing here? Oliver Queen: I was looking for Tess when the whole building went "Resident Evil."
	Season 9 / Episode 3: - Rabid Lois Lane: But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent. Clark Kent: Which side was that? Lois Lane: I'll give you a hint. It starts with "H" and ends with "ero." Clark Kent: I wasn't even wearing red and blue. Lois Lane: Well, you've got a long ways before you can do that.
	Season 9 / Episode 1: - Savior John Corben: The infamous blur. You know, the ends doesn't always justify the means. Lois Lane: You might want to stick with your night job, detective. Graffiti's not exactly the Red-Blue Blur's style. John Corben: You're right. It never used to be, back when the guy was happy pulling off a few modest saves, but then suddenly there was no red or blue. It was just the blur. Now he feels he needs to leave his mark all over the city to - I don't know - to prove something.
	Season 8 / Episode 22: - Doomsday Tess Mercer: Lois, where is the orb? Lois Lane: What orb? Tess Mercer: The alien technology from my vault. Lois Lane: [sarcastically] Oh, that orb. Lois Lane: I guess asking for severance is out of the question. Tess Mercer: I didn't want this. Lois Lane: No... You just want to take over the world with some alien nation. Tess Mercer: I am trying to save the world. Lois Lane: What's wrong with Greenpeace?
	Season 8 / Episode 22: - Doomsday Clark Kent: [as Red-Blue Blur] Sometimes, we can't outrun our destiny. Lois Lane: But I thought you were invincible. Clark Kent: [as Red-Blue Blur] So did I.
	Season 8 / Episode 22: - Doomsday Lois Lane: Jimmy, you stepped on my hand! Jimmy Olsen: Next time, don't leave your hand on the floor under a desk in an office you're not supposed to be in. Lois Lane: I'm sorry, did I just get a lecture from Jimmy Olsen?
	Season 8 / Episode 19: - Stiletto Lois Lane: Meet Stiletto. I was going to sew an "S" into the chest. Is that tacky?
	Season 8 / Episode 19: - Stiletto Clark Kent: Lois? Lois Lane: [in British accent] Lois? Who's Lois? I'm Stiletto. I should get back to my cave. Clark Kent: Lois, you could have a bag over your head and I'd still know it's you. Lois Lane: Go figure. I want the Red-Blue Blue, I get the exact opposite. Clark Kent: What do you think you're doing? Lois Lane: What are you doing? You're supposed to be feeding Shelby. Seriously, is there any woman in your life you haven't stood up? Clark Kent: I saw the way you looked at that scanner and I know how much you want the superhero story, so I came here to make sure you're okay. You're obviously not if you're impersonating the Stiletto. Lois Lane: Okay, first off, it's just Stiletto. There is no "the". And second, I'm not impersonating anyone. I am Stiletto. Clark Kent: You made up a fake superhero so you could write a story? Lois Lane: Yeah. Stiletto's only the beginning, Clark. These heels could kick down some major doors for me. What if Stiletto could help me land a one-on-one with the Red-Blue Blur? Clark Kent: Well, this blur, he - he avoids reporters for a reason.
	Season 8 / Episode 19: - Stiletto Lois Lane: Hello to you, too. Expecting Freddy Krueger? Chloe Sullivan: What are you doing here? I thought you were tracking down Stiletto. Lois Lane: Oh, that story broke a proverbial heel. It's not happening.
	Season 8 / Episode 19: - Stiletto Clark Kent: I received your letter, Miss Lane. Lois Lane: Call me Lois... if you want. And while we're at it, you wanna weigh in on the whole Red-Blue Blur thing, because it's kind of a mouth full on this end. Clark Kent: I think there's probably a better name out there. And if there's anyone who can find it, it's you, Miss Lane.
	Season 8 / Episode 15: - Infamous Clark Kent: I want you to write my story. Lois Lane: No offense, but I've long since graduated from the "Lonely Seeking Lonelier" classifieds. Clark Kent: It's a pretty interesting one. Lois Lane: Clark, I'm busy here. You may have forgotten about me, but the news world didn't. Clark Kent: After this story you're about to write, it never will. Lois Lane: What story? Clark Kent: I didn't forget to pick you up at the airport, Lois. The reason I wasn't there is because I was protecting people. I'm the Red-Blue Blur. Lois Lane: [laughs] That's the best you can do? Clark Kent: That thing that saved you from the speeding car, that was me. That time when the barn door flew off its hinges, you thought it was a weather anomaly. I did that. Lois Lane: Yeah, right, what'd you do - sneeze? Clark Kent: Actually... Lois Lane: Clark, next time you liquid-lunch, take the rest of the day off. Clark Kent: Let me help you with that. Lois Lane: Guess I should stop calling you "Smallville."
	Season 8 / Episode 15: - Infamous Lois Lane: [after Clark saves Lois from the DDS at the Planet] Nice interception, but you shouldn't be here. All the bloodhounds in the state will be sniffing you out! Clark Kent: It's okay, I know this sounds crazy but in a few moments this will ALL be over. Lois Lane: Okay, well try me, my shock threshold is pretty high right now. Clark Kent: Lois, I have a ring that allows me to go to any moment in time. [Lois looks a little stunned] I'm going to go back to before Linda Lake ever wrote that article. The world isn't ready to accept someone like me. Lois Lane: Then stay and fight back! Look! Give people a chance to see who you really are! Clark Kent: It's too late Lois. My whole life I've seemed different. Lois Lane: Some people spend their ENTIRE lives looking for a way to stand out, to be a person that ANYBODY would call special. When you first told me who you were, my thought was anyone but Clark. And not because of the alien thing, I have known enough guys to know that you can be born on terra firma and be lightyears from normal... Clark Kent: Lois you don't have to explain, I get it. Lois Lane: No... you don't. How can someone with x-ray vision be so blind? [pauses] I've been down the Hero road before, and every time I've made a giant U-turn, but this, this was different. Clark Kent: And this time it will be different Lois. When I do this no one's going to remember who I am. Lois Lane: And when you hit your reset button, you're not going to tell me your secret, are you? Clark Kent: [slightly shakes his head] I'm sorry. Lois Lane: It's okay... [trying not to cry] Why should I think I'm special? Clark. I understand. Clark Kent: Lois you don't understand. [steps closer to Lois] It's because you ARE special...
	Season 8 / Episode 15: - Infamous Lois Lane: [to Clark] You're a reporter, Smallville. You're not saving the world.
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Oliver Queen: [Lois is sitting outside on the porch away from the reception drinking champagne from the bottle when Oliver finds her] Want a glass with that? Lois Lane: Oliver. Just the person I want to see right now. Oliver Queen: [laughs] So, uh, want to tell me what started this lost weekend? Lois Lane: Go on and enjoy the party. Trust me it will be a real buzz-kill to listen to me whine like Patsy Cline. Oliver Queen: Yeah, you're probably right. You know, um... I may not be at the top of your confidant list, but if you ever want to talk, I'm here. Lois Lane: [sighs] I'm just having all these feelings, and I don't know what they mean. Oliver Queen: Oh. Well, who's the lucky guy? Lois Lane: [sighs] Having this conversation with an ex is... bad enough without turning up the awkward dial. Oliver Queen: [chuckles] Right. Well, you know, there's moving on in theory, and then there's the moment that it actually happens. If you like we can start now, and I'll just be a really good friend. Lois Lane: Okay. It's like I was going along and it just snuck up on me. And I tried to ignore it, but then there are these moments that you can't. Maybe I was reading it wrong. And to add insult to injury, it all went down at tonight's tribute to romantic bliss. I know it sounds sappy... but I thought... just for a minute... that someone needed me. Oliver Queen: Well, I'm sure he needs you, Lois. Lois Lane: [scoffs] That's sweet of you to say, but how do you know? [scoffs] Oliver Queen: 'Cause I know Clark. [chuckles]
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Jimmy Olsen: You know, speaking of the right person, since you don't have a plus-one tonight, I'd like you to meet one of my friends. Name's Clark Kent. You heard of him? Lois Lane: Better wear your bow and arrow, Cupid. That bumbling tadpole is not my Prince Charming. Jimmy Olsen: Well, maybe you just need to jump his lily pad and plant one on him. Come on. I've seen the way you two look at each other. Lois Lane: [scoffs] You need to get your eyesight checked, Olsen. Clark doesn't like me. He likes... driving me crazy. Jimmy Olsen: Flirtation 101, Lane. I mean, that's what a guy does when he's into a girl. Lois Lane: Really? Jimmy Olsen: Trust me. Lois and Clark would be great together. I can feel it in my gut. Lois Lane: Well, take some Ex-Lax, and get over it.
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Lois Lane: Jimmy's in bad shape. Clark Kent: The nurse said they had him stabilized. Lois Lane: But he's not out of the woods. He has severe internal bleeding. They're medevacing him to Star City to one of the country's top surgeons. I'm gonna go with him. I'll stay there until I hear from Chloe. Why did this have to happen to her? Why do these terrible things keep happening all around us? Clark Kent: I promise. We're gonna get Chloe back. Lois Lane: What if we can't?
	Season 8 / Episode 10: - Bride Lois Lane: Uh, Jimmy told me you're going to be filming this epic, Spielberg. I want testimonials, candids, everything, but I don't wanna know you're here. You're a fly on the wall. Colin: [balls up his fist] Ring that bell. Lois Lane: No.
	Season 8 / Episode 8: - Bloodline Lois Lane: [possessed by Faora] You don't recognize me... but you are the spitting image of your father. Davis Bloome: Okay. Lois, you gotta reason with me. What kind of drugs did you take? Pills, powder, paste? Don't tell me you didn't inject anything. Lois Lane: You don't know who you are. Do you experience blackouts? Hours of your life mysteriously lost? Your body's still evolving. Davis Bloome: Okay, um... How do you know that? Lois Lane: Before we were phantoms, Zod and I were unable to have children. So, we created you. Davis Bloome: You, uh, "created" me...? Lois Lane: You arrived here as genetic matter, containing our planet's most powerful life-forms so that, in time, you would evolve to become Earth's ultimate destroyer. Davis Bloome: I drive an ambulance. Lois Lane: The duty of a child is to continue the legacy his parents began. Our family is meant to take this planet as our own. And after seeing you with these humans, I realize that you're still too weak to fulfill your destiny. Lois Lane: Trust me, my son. That which kills you makes you stronger. I'll be back when you're ready.
	Season 8 / Episode 8: - Bloodline Lois Lane: I don't want to die here, Clark! Clark Kent: All we have to do is keep an eye out on each other, okay? We'll be fine. Lois Lane: We're not fine! We're standing on our graves! We're gonna die, us together. No more farmhouse, no more Daily Planet! Clark Kent: Listen to me! Listen to me. No one's gonna mess with Lois and Clark, right? Lois Lane: They better not.
	Season 8 / Episode 8: - Bloodline Lois Lane: So, first Kara, then Clark and I. It's like the Kent farm's ground zero for alien abductions.
	Season 8 / Episode 8: - Bloodline Lois Lane: This is our DeLorean? Kara: We just have to touch it.
	Season 8 / Episode 7: - Identity Lois Lane: I'm gonna use my expert tracking skills and find this camera shy superhero. Clark Kent: Really? Good luck with that. Lois Lane: Mark my words, Clark Kent. I won't stop until I land the first worldwide exclusive interview. Watch me.
	Season 8 / Episode 7: - Identity Clark Kent: I heard about your date last night. Ended with a thud. I'm sorry I didn't get your phone call till it was all over. Lois Lane: I wasn't on a date, Smallville. I was deep undercover on a dinner with a psychopath. Clark Kent: Sounds like your type.
	Season 8 / Episode 5: - Committed Lois Lane: A smile now and then wouldn't kill you. Clark Kent: They're in short supply, Lois. I wouldn't want to waste one. Jeweler: May I help you? Lois Lane: Well, we are finally out ring shopping. Who's the luckiest girl in the world?... I am! Clark Kent: Some friends of ours said that your store is the best place in town to find engagement rings. Jeweler: Is there a certain piece that you would like to see? Lois Lane: Well... How about this one, Pumpkin? Clark Kent: Anything you want, Muffin. [to the jeweler] Must be great seeing so many happy couples come through here every day. Jeweler: Certainly is. It's very fulfilling helping to solidify the bond between husband and wife. [pointing to the ring Clark is holding] Excellent craftsmanship, a perfect circle, no beginning and no end. Try it on and see how it looks. Lois Lane: [Lois holds out her hand, but Clark just stares at the ring] Don't get stage fright, Poodle. You're going to have to do this center stage in front of a packed house sooner than you think. [to the jeweler] He has performance anxiety. Jeweler: Would you look at that! A perfect fit. Oliver Queen: [entering] What are you two doing here? Lois Lane: Oliver... didn't you get the invitation yet? Oliver Queen: Invitation to what? Lois Lane: [to Clark] Tell him, Cupcake. Clark Kent: Lois and I are... we're getting married. Oliver Queen: [laughs, then realizes Clark is serious] You're just full of surprises lately, aren't you, Clark? Lois Lane: I know, right? I mean we've been friends for so long, um, but we just had this one magical night, and we couldn't deny our feelings any longer. Oliver Queen: [to Clark] Is this true? Clark Kent: I'm afraid so. Lois Lane: [as Clark pushes her out the door] See you at the wedding!
	Season 8 / Episode 4: - Instinct Lois Lane: I don't know who or what you are, but you got it all wrong, lady. There is nothing romantic between Lois and Clark. Maxima: You have a deep connection to him. I felt it. Lois Lane: Then your radar's on the fritz. 'Cause even on a good day, we're barely friends. Maxima: He would never have been able to pull away from me if he wasn't drawn by his attraction to you. Lois Lane: Look, he's about as attracted to me as a Red Sox fan to the Yankees. Maxima: Oh, he might not know it yet. But believe me, there's a bond. And I could see it on your face when you caught us together. You feel it, too. But I finally found a man that I've wanted all my life, and you can't have him.
	Season 8 / Episode 4: - Instinct Lois Lane: Oh, sorry to rain on your orgy, Smallville. I think I scared off your date. Clark Kent: Where'd she go? Lois Lane: Probably to find you two a motel room. Clark Kent: You don't understand. Lois Lane: What's not to understand? You were pulling a "9 1/2 Weeks" in the elevator. I mean, it may not get you a membership in the mile-high club, but, hey, you got to start somewhere. Clark Kent: Just calm down. Lois Lane: I am calm! I am perfectly calm! Why wouldn't I be calm? Dial down the ego, Smallville. I don't care what you do with your love life.
	Season 8 / Episode 4: - Instinct Clark Kent: [about Maxima] I'm afraid this may not be the last we've seen of her. Lois Lane: Hmm. Well, I'll be ready for her. The late-night game of bumper cars might have knocked the wind out of me, but one supercharged fembot can't put a serious dent in Lois Lane. Clark Kent: Thanks for showing up when you did. I guess you could say you saved my life. Lois Lane: Tell me about it. If I haven't severed your love connection, you would have ended like all her other dates. Clark Kent: You know, she said some... weird things to me. Lois Lane: Really? Clark Kent: She said she was my soul mate. Lois Lane: I think you can do a little bit better than a man-eating meteor freak. Clark Kent: I know she's not the one, but it got me to thinking. Chloe showed me this love letter she wrote to me years ago, and... her feelings were really intense. And Chloe was right there in front of me, and I never realized how I felt. What if my soul mate comes along and I'm too blind to see it? Lois Lane: I don't know, Smallville. I think that, when the right girl walks into your life, you'll know. Clark Kent: What did Maxima say to you? Lois Lane: Nothing for the front page.
	Season 8 / Episode 3: - Toxic Lois Lane: [talking to Oliver, who has been poisoned and is unconscious]... Look at us, the noble couple. I let you go and in turn you were supposed to save the world. This Ollie, this isn't saving the world. Is it? This is you backing out on your end of the deal. You know maybe... maybe we had it wrong... Maybe our... story ends and neither of us our heroes... because you're not the only one who couldn't hold up his end of the deal. The truth is... Lois Lane: sometimes I wonder if I should have ever let you go...
