Dana Delany: Lois Lane

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [finding a wrapped gift at her door]  Let it be flowers, please.

• The Toyman : I'm so glad you decided to stay, Ms. Lane. We're going to have a whole lot of fun.

  Lois Lane : Why me, Toyman?

  The Toyman : Because of those lies you wrote about me in your little paper. This time, I want you to get it right.

• The Toyman : Now the real fun begins. You're going to play... reporter! This time, I want you to take good notes.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : [descended from the ceiling like a marionette]  You just made the biggest mistake of your life, you miserable little freak! I mean it, Schott. I got friends. They'll find you!

  [Toyman's toy soldiers move forward and aim their rifles] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : On the other hand, maybe we can make a deal.

  [Toyman blindfolds him] 

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Aah!

  The Toyman : No peeking now.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Please, don't!

  Lois Lane : You can't be serious.

  The Toyman : Deadly serious, Ms. Lane. Playtime is over. Ready... aim...

  [Lois pushes him out of the way] 

  The Toyman : Hey!

  [she pushes over one toy soldier, which dominoes and knocks the others down] 

  The Toyman : [picking up one of the toy rifles]  Ahh! You broke my toys! You spoiled my fun!

• Lois Lane : Enjoying a leisurely afternoon, or have you been listening to the police band again?

  Clark Kent : Actually, Perry assigned me the park opening. Why? What's up?

  Jimmy Olsen : You haven't heard about the Toyman?

  Clark Kent : Who?

  Lois Lane : Uh-uh. Nice try, Smallville, but this one's mine.

• Lois Lane : Read it and weep, Kent. It's all here: the attack on the armored car, the attack on Mannheim, and as a finishing touch, a preliminary profile on the perp by a noted police psychiatrist.

  Clark Kent : Based on what?

  Lois Lane : He uses toys as weapons. We're talking about a guy with very serious issues. Like the shrink says: an emotionally stunted, amoral narcissist with paranoid delusions desperately...

  The Toyman : [in his playhouse, reading the article]  "... desperately seeking external validation through antisocial behavior."

• Clark Kent : [after saving Lois from Toyman as Superman]  You sure you're okay?

  Lois Lane : Yeah. He was a sicko, Kent, but I can't help feeling sorry for him.

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : He was a loser, a walking freak show, like his old man. This is one funeral I'll skip.

  Cop : I'm not sure there's gonna be a funeral. My people still haven't found the body. However, they did find this.

  [showing them an evidence baggie containing the broken pieces of Toyman's mask] 

• Superman : Little boys shouldn't play with sharp objects.

  The Toyman : Who invited you, Superman?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Superman? Superman, is that you?

  The Toyman : Don't think I haven't prepared a surprise for you. Here's something you can't break.

  Superman : [getting hit with a Play-Doh-like substance]  Very funny, Toyman.

  [it starts to mutate and envelop him] 

  Superman : Huh?

  The Toyman : Uh, maybe you should read the warning. Dopey Doh is a lethal biogenic organism. Contact with the skin can prove fatal. It won't stop growing until it asphyxiates its host. Not for children under three.

  Superman : [she approaches to help]  Lois, no! Don't touch it!

  Lois Lane : What can I do?

  Superman : Get back. Find something to hide behind. Hurry!

• Johnny : It was... it was Toyman... calling t-t-time-out. T-Tell Bruno th-the Toyman.

  Jimmy Olsen : [taking pictures of the armored car]  What a smash-up.

  Lois Lane : Odd thing. I heard it was parked at the time.

  Jimmy Olsen : Where, at a monster truck rally?

  Lois Lane : Look on the bright side, Spider. At least you look good in silver.

  'Spider' Spinelli : Ms. Lane, excuse me if I don't shake hands.

  Lois Lane : So, what's the lowdown on this Toyman character? I hear he's got it in for your boss, Bruno Mannheim.

  'Spider' Spinelli : Hey, what boss? I happen to be a independent agent.

  [being led away by a patrol officer] 

  'Spider' Spinelli : You're wasting your time, dollface. I'll see you in two to five.

  Jimmy Olsen : Where to now, Ms. Lane? The Planet?

  Lois Lane : Actually, I was thinking about a picnic in the park.

• Lois Lane : Mr. Mannheim, Lois Lane, Daily Planet. Any comments on this morning's armored car hijacking?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : Why would I have a comment? I'm a legitimate businessman.

  Lois Lane : Of course. And you have no knowledge of someone calling himself the Toyman?

  Bruno 'Ugly' Mannheim : I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a respected citizen. And I don't appreciate your little insinuations.

  Clark Kent : [seeing toy planes buzzing in the air, which arm real machine guns]  Look out!
