- Lois Lane: Have you ever met anybody who's so wrapped up in their work they don't have time for anyone or anything?
- Clark Kent: Is this a trick question?
- Clark Kent: Sometimes a piece runs dry Chief. You know that.
- Perry White: Oh, well, that's just great, Kent. We'll put that up on billboards all over the city: "Lane and Kent come up with squat! On sale at your newsstands now."
- Lois Lane: But Perry, partnership is like marriage.
- Perry White: That's right. You've got to work at it.
- Lois Lane: It takes patience and understanding and willingness to be supportive.
- Perry White: I know, honey. Fake it.
- Perry White: Let Metropolis know that Lane and Kent are the greatest writing team since Woodward and Bernstein.
- Lois Lane: You don't want to be partnered with a hypocritical reporter who talks a good game, but backs off the minute things hit too close to home.
- Clark Kent: Yes I do.
- Lex Luthor: If a man like you has a problem, I expect you to solve it with your own usual flair. For a man like me, on the other hand, life is a bowl of rubies, an extremely large bowl. I have no problems.
- Lex Luthor: [speaking to self in mirror] It's alway such an embarrassment, having to do away with someone. It's like announcing to the world that you lack the savvy and the finesse to deal with the problem more creatively. I mean, there have been times, naturally, when I've had to have people eliminated, but it always saddened me. I've always felt like I've let myself down somehow.
