Clark Kent quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Lana Lang

[When trying to convince Superman to team up against Lex] Don't forget you still have me.

Clark Kent

Oh no I don't. It's too dangerous.

Lana Lang

But we make such a perfect team.

Clark Kent

No!

Lana Lang

I can be your trusty side-kick. Your Dr. Watson. Your Batgirl.

Clark Kent

Definitely not!

Clark Kent

Lana, you know that I really care about you. You're like...

Lana Lang

Clark Kent, I swear if you say 'I'm like a sister to you,' I'm going back to Lex!

Clark Kent

Sorry, but I know you'll find that special person some day.

Lana Lang

So will you. You deserve it. Someone quiet, understanding, patient...

Lois Lane

Hey Smallville! Get your tail in here, Perry's got an assignment for us.

Lana Lang

Remember, if you ever change your mind about me, feel free to fly on up any time.

Dan is a difficult man to work with.

Clark Kent

Think he'll come back?

If I had a dime for every time Dan turned in his badge I would have enough money to make Lex Luthor look like a pauper.

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?

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...

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Your three months are up. And this time, you're not gonna cheat me out of my fun!

Clark Kent

Oh, it's you again, Mr. Kltpzyxm.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Not Kltpzyxm! Mxyzptlk! Now the first thing I'm gonna do- [realizes] Oh, nuts! [disappears]

Clark Kent

Look, little guy, I'm tired of this. If it's a fight you want...

Mr. Mxyzptlk

Oh, it is, it is!

Clark Kent

Fine. First let me proofread this article, and I'll meet you on the roof in twenty minutes.

Mr. Mxyzptlk

No stalling! I'll edit the rag for ya. [looks over the article, then quickly crosses out the incorrect letters, which spell "KLTPZYXM"] There. [vanishing again] Hey, what?! NO-!

Lois Lane

Titano! Remember me? Lolo?

Clark Kent

Lolo?!

Lois Lane

I was eight, okay?

Clark Kent

I wonder what new toy Luthor is showing off for the brass today.

Lois Lane

Whatever it is I’m sure it’s going to wind up on all their Christmas lists...

Lois Lane

Sabotage?

Clark Kent

Has to be. Luthor's too careful to foul up like that.

Lois Lane

But who'd want to destroy Luthor? [Clark stares] Well, yeah. But who'd be crazy enough to try?

Clark Kent

Maybe he should make time. [He goes towards Luthor's office door]

Mercy Graves

Hey! [Bars his way] One more step and it gets ugly.

Clark Kent

What are you trying to pull here? Where's Luthor?

Mercy Graves

[shocked] He... he was right here! You saw him...

Clark Kent

This coffee's ice-cold. No one's been here for a while. Well?

Mercy Graves

[uneasy] I'm afraid you'll have to leave, Mr. Kent, right now.

Clark Kent

Do yourself a favor, Miss Graves: call me when your lord and master shows up.

Clark Kent

Granted, Lois, Luthor does lots of strange things, but what reason could he possibly have for trying to fool his own bodyguard?

Lois Lane

Maybe he needed some space. Haven't you ever noticed the way she hovers around him all the time?

Clark Kent

But that's her job.

Lois Lane

It's no wonder why you're still single, Kent.

Clark Kent

I hear Wayne's deal with Lexcorp could run into the billions. He's a high roller.

Lois Lane

I hear he's nothing but Gotham trash. Rich, spoiled, and... [Bruce Wayne walks off the plane] Absolutely gorgeous!

Clark Kent

So just keep your ears open. Let me know if you hear any buzz about the Joker.

Bibbo Bibbowski

Sure thing, Mr. Kent. Uh.. but, uh, which one? There's lots of jokers around here.

Lois Lane

Clark, keep an eye on Bruce, will you? I'll be right back.

Clark Kent

Actually, Lois-

Lois Lane

Don't be intimidated. Regale him with madcap tales of the nightlife in Smallville. [Leaves]

Bruce Wayne

She never stops, does she?

Clark Kent

Not that I've noticed. [Quietly] Any luck finding the comedian?

Bruce Wayne

[In Batman voice] Three nights, and not so much as a green hair.

Clark Kent

Of course, you have been dividing your time between work and Lois.

Bruce Wayne

Is that a problem?

Clark Kent

Let's just say I'm concerned. Your reputation is... dubious, in and out of costume.

Bruce Wayne

Don't worry, I'm taking Lois quite seriously. [leans down] Besides, it seems to me you had your chance.
