Erica Durance: Lois Lane

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : My dad was a general, and he cared about me. But I learned really early that his role in the world was a lot more important than being a father. And, you know what, for good reasons. And Ollie's life is... demanding, too.

  Clark Kent : Lois, just because someone's life has great responsibility doesn't mean your life has to take second place.

  Lois Lane : Of course it does, Clark. Can you imagine what it would be like to look into somebody's eyes and know that their destiny is so much greater than yours that you will never compete?

  [starting to cry] 

  Lois Lane : You will always be left behind.

  Clark Kent : That would be hard for anyone, but...

  Lois Lane : No, I can't be left behind one more time. You know, where Ollie's life is going, there's not room for me in it, and I know he'd never admit that, so... I had to. I just, um... I can't face another heartbreak on the road.

  [he gives her a supportive hug] 

  Lois Lane : Besides, you know, why settle for hot, rich, and famous when I can hang out with you?

• Oliver Queen : Lois?

  Lois Lane : Oh, don't even think of looking at me now. So, in all those nights together, somewhere between brushing teeth and spooning in the sheets, you didn't think that it might be a good time to mention that you prowl the streets with green leather and a compound bow?

  Oliver Queen : Well, I don't usually bring the compound bow.

  Lois Lane : Oh, so now he's a funny hero. I can't believe you didn't tell me that you were Green Arrow!

  Oliver Queen : Hard to imagine why when you're taking it so well.

  Lois Lane : You'd think the lacerating ropes and platium fembot might have something to do with my lack of empathy? So what? Little Ollie got bored with dodge ball and P.E. and decided to play William Tell? Woah. Wait a second. I kissed Green Arrow last year when you were standing there with me in the alley.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, I remember that with precise detail.

  Lois Lane : I can't believe you. You, supposedly my boyfriend, arranged for me to be lip-locked with some wannabe hero.
