A Little Piece of Home (1996)

Dana Delany: Lois Lane

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : If only we had some lead.

  Tour Guide : [in Superman's memory]  ... entire civilization was destroyed by systemic metallic poisoning.

  Superman : The cups... they're made of lead.

  [trying to get the cup, Lois is shocked by the security system; to avoid the T-Rex, she crawls across the floor and bumps into the kryptonite on the ground next to her] 

  Lois Lane : Lane squares off. She aims. She shoots...

  [throwing it like a basketball shot, it rolls around the cup's lip and goes in] 

  Lois Lane : Two points!

• Clark Kent : [Lois plays trash basketball]  Does Perry know you're playing basketball on his time?

  Lois Lane : It helps me think. Why didn't he nab those two museum thieves? It doesn't make sense.

  Clark Kent : Who?

  Lois Lane : Who? Superman.

• Lois Lane : Thank you, Superman.

  Superman : No, Lois, thank you. You saved my life.

  Lois Lane : I suppose I did.

  Superman : I owe you one.

  Lois Lane : I'd say an exclusive interview would just about even us up.

  Superman : All right. Under one condition: you don't print anything about the kryptonite.

• Waitress : Be with you in a second, sir.

  [as she trips, Clark speeds over, catching both her and her dishes] 

  Waitress : Good catch. So, what'll it be?

  Lois Lane : [coming in]  I'd like the turkey meatloaf, baked potato, no butter, no soup, salad, house dressing on the side. Give the whole thing legs. Sorry, Kent, I'm in a hurry.

  [seeing he doesn't look well] 

  Lois Lane : Say, you don't look so hot.

  Clark Kent : I'm fine. What's the rush?

  Lois Lane : [taking a piece of kryptonite out of her purse]  Take a look at this.

  Clark Kent : [dropping it]  Aah!

  Lois Lane : Careful!

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry. Just clumsy, I guess. What is it?

  Lois Lane : Lex Labs got a hold of some kind of meteor that seems to have the ability to drain Superman's powers. This is just a small sliver. You sure you're not catching something?

  Clark Kent : I'm okay. Really.

  Lois Lane : I'm taking this piece over to S.T.A.R. Labs to let them have a look at it.

  [the waitress brings her order] 

  Lois Lane : I'll let you know what they say. The gentlemen would like a large orange juice, chicken soup, and tea with lemon. You gotta take care of yourself, Smallville.

  Waitress : Yeah, you really don't look so good.

• Lex Luthor : As you know, recent cutbacks have forced the city to close the doors to many of its own museums, which is why the Lex Luthor Museum of Natural History is such a boon to the city's populace.

  Lois Lane : [watching with Clark]  And a boost to Lex's popularity.

  Lex Luthor : In anticipation of tomorrow's grand opening, I felt that you, the elite of the Metropolis press, might enjoy a sneak preview of the city's newest state-of-the-art exhibition hall. The priceless artifacts are displayed in open cases, protected by electronic surveillance and an impregnable automated security system.

  Clark Kent : [hearing an explosion]  Did you hear that?

  Lois Lane : Just typical Luthor blarney.

  Lex Luthor : And now, I will be happy to answer any questions regarding the museum and its displays.

  Lois Lane : How do you respond to charges that the museum is really just a large tax shelter for LexCorp?

  [Lex scowls] 

  Lois Lane : Let's see him get out of...

  [seeing Clark isn't there] 

  Lois Lane : Kent?

• Peterson : Ms. Lane, it's Peterson. Listen closely. Lex Labs is developing a synthetic version of the green rock. It's imperative I get this information to Superman immediately.

  Lois Lane : Yes, of course. Where should we meet?

  Peterson : The museum. Come in through the alley entrance.

  Lois Lane : But the security system...

  Peterson : I designed the security system, Ms. Lane. I know how to bypass it. The door will be open between 9:05 and 9:06. Make sure you're not followed.

  Lex Luthor : [he hangs up]  Very convincing. You're certain he's there?

  Mercy Graves : Our men saw him go in two minutes after the Lane woman.

  Lex Luthor : Excellent. Superman will now insist on accompanying her to the museum.
