Lois Lane quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Leslie Willis

What's the deal with you and Superman, huh?

Lois Lane

What are you talking about?

Leslie Willis

Come on, you're always getting exclusives with him. Just how exclusive are you two?

Lois Lane

It's not like that.

Leslie Willis

Oh it's not, huh? Ah, I guess we'll never know if his pj's have that big red S on them too.

Leslie Willis

Look, babe, to make it in this town, I had to be better, sharper and louder than any man to get half as much notice. And nothing was handed to me on a silver platter either, unlike your friend Superman!

Lois Lane

Some attitude you have there.

Leslie Willis

Eh, it pays the bills.

Lois Lane

Hmm. Looks like Mother Nature isn't one of your faithful fans.

Leslie Willis

She'll come around. Everybody else does.

Boy, this sure brings back the old days. When I was your age we didn't have computers or fax machines or--

Lois Lane

Yeah, yeah, and you walked ten miles in your bare feet to work every day.

Livewire

Hello, Metropolis! The tower of power is back, coming at you at about, oh, a gazillion megahertz. Now, you may have noticed I restored some power to the city. I've done this so that you, my adoring and helpless public, can gaze upon moi, your lovely queen of all media. Actually, I pretty much am the media now, seeing as I've taken complete control, so don't touch that dial, Metropolis. Because if you ever want your phone back, your lights, your talk shows, your home shopping channels and your stupid little lives, then you're gonna have to deal with me!

Typical. Today the airwaves....

Lois Lane

Tomorrow the world.

Clark Kent

Er, thanks, Super... man...

Maybe you two should leave the dirty work to the authorities, hmm?

Clark Kent

Er, I...

Lois Lane

Yeah, right... Have you ever known me to play it safe?

[ponders] I suppose not. We should have a word about that. Maybe over dinner?

It's a date.

Lois Lane

[Imposter flies off] A date? [seems to realizing that Superman likes her] Huh. Must be this new perfume.

Lois Lane

Hey, Smallville, you alright?

Clark Kent

Er, yeah. A little shaken up, I guess. You go on ahead, Lois, I feel like... walking it off.

Lois Lane

Are you nuts?! We're miles from nowhere! What about the story?

Clark Kent

You know us country bumpkins... 10 miles to school and all that...

Lois Lane

Your loss! My byline...

Lois Lane

I wasn't sure you'd really come. [the shadow figure comes out revealing to be not Superman, but Bizarro]

Bizarro

Me remember. [Lois is shocked at the sight of Bizarro] Me need Lois help. Don't be afraid, me never hurt you. [Superman arrives]

Superman

I heard about our date, Lois. Problem is you've made it with the wrong guy.

Bizarro

Imposter! Stay back, Lois! Me protect you! [pushes Superman to the Daily Planet statue causing it to break off the stand and fall off]

Lois Lane

Your own army of Supermen?!

Lex Luthor

Precisely Miss Lane. Do you remember when your admirer fought the mechanical dinosaur?

Lois Lane

Gosh, how could I forget it?

Lex Luthor

Well, he was so weakened from the Kryptonite he actually bled. And from those few humble drops of blood my scientists have been able to clone his Kryptonian DNA. Remarkable.

Lois Lane

All accountable to you! Let me guess, world domination?

Lex Luthor

No, too obvious! Rather, I plan to share my services with anyone who calls the LexCorp hotline. Anyone who needs saving, gets it. For a fee, of course. They would be on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. [motions to Bizarro] All except this...technical difficulty.

Bizarro

[Struggling to support crumbling roof] Me hold... you go. Me no am Superman. You am Superman! Superman - save Lois!

Lois Lane

You are a hero.

Lois Lane

Do you think he survived?

Superman

I don't know. I've never been in a half kiloton blast. I hope he did. He turned out to have a good heart.

Lois Lane

Well, naturally. He came from good stock.

Lois Lane

I'm not just "one of the other reporters". This was an attempt on my life, you know?

Detective Kurt Bowman

You really wanna be helpful? Try making a list of all the people who might wanna see you dead. And try to keep it to one page.

Lois Lane

Someday though it'd be nice to see you when I wasn't about to be killed.

Superman

Someday...

Lois Lane

Sarita and Bobby, right?

Who are you?

Lois Lane

My name is Lois Lane, I'm a newspaper reporter. I'd just like to ask you a few questions.

[suspiciously] About what?

Lois Lane

About that robot - the one that saved that trucker's life a few days ago? Someone said you might have been there.

They lied! [shuts the door on her]

Lois Lane

I'll just put that down as a "no comment".

Lois Lane

Let go of me, you walking waffle iron!

Metallo

Now, now. Not in front of the children.

Lois Lane

You're not going to get away with this, Corben.

Metallo

Miss Lane, please, such cliches! How ever did you win that Pulitzer?
