Luthor Unleashed (1989)

James Calvert: T.J. White

Quotes 

• T.J. White : Now, what good is it gonna do to interview Lex Luthor? I mean, his... his sickening arrogance is only exceeded by his lying skill.

  Clark Kent : That's true. But if we can get into his dorm room, it'll... it'll be...

  T.J. White : Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is he gonna be dumb enough to keep hot Army equipment *in* his dorm room?

  Clark Kent : I'm not saying that. I'm saying we might be able to find a clue as to where he's hiding it. I just feel we're doing an injustice by suspecting the guy without any proof, that's all.

  T.J. White : Wait, wait, wait. There's nothing that can be done to Lex Luthor that could be considered an injustice.

• Clark Kent : Why did he hit you?

  T.J. White : Well, see, she looks like his mother.

  Lana Lang : He totally freaked out. Suddenly, he's gone bald.

  T.J. White : Bald? As in "no hair" bald? How'd he go bald overnight?

  Lana Lang : I don't know. He blames Superboy for it. Some wild nonsense about him doing it to him deliberately.

  Clark Kent : I'm really confused here. I mean, just yesterday he was thanking Superboy for saving his life.

  Lana Lang : I know. Oh, he also has a message for Superboy.

  Clark Kent : Well, tell me what it is. I'll try to pass it on to him.

• Lana Lang : Hi. So, who's buying lunch today?

  T.J. White : Well, that depends. If you eat your usual quota, we're gonna run out of money.

  Lana Lang : There's a woman starving here, and you're making a joke?

  T.J. White : Well, give me a break. I'm just kind of warming up.

• Clark Kent : So, Lana, how did your, uh... your date go last night?

  Lana Lang : Lex hit me.

  Clark Kent : He did what?

  Lana Lang : He didn't hurt me. And I was so sure that he had... well, changed.

  T.J. White : Now I know why I'm a romantic washout. You have to belt a woman to turn her on.

• T.J. White : Where'd you disappear to? You were right behind me, weren't you?

  Clark Kent : You left me in the dust. You should go out for track. So, what happened?

  T.J. White : Well, Mr. Wonderful nearly blew himself up in the lab. And then, finally, Superboy did a disservice to humanity. He saved Lex Luthor.

• Lana Lang : [taking a card from a bouquet of flowers]  "To a very gracious woman from a very grateful man. Lex."

  T.J. White : I see it, I hear it, but I do not believe it.

  Lana Lang : Why are you guys such downers? Lex is trying so hard to be nice.

  T.J. White : You think he's trying hard?

  Clark Kent : I think he's convincing her he is.

  Lana Lang : And would you stop referring to me like I'm not here?

  T.J. White : What are you so angry about?

  Lana Lang : I'm not angry! I mean, can't you give anyone the benefit of the doubt?

  T.J. White : Lana, here, read my lips: we're talking about Lex Luthor.

  Clark Kent : Hello.

  Lana Lang : If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go put the flowers in some water.

  T.J. White : Okay. If you run short, there's a reservoir a couple miles down.

• Clark Kent : [after a top-secret military weapon is stolen]  There's only one student I know who could possibly do something like this.

  T.J. White : Lex?

  Clark Kent : Luthor, man.

  T.J. White : Well, he doesn't even belong to ROTC.

  Clark Kent : Oh, you think a little detail like that's gonna get in his way? Come on.

  T.J. White : Yeah, guess not.
