Quotes 

• Lois Lane : You're only as good as your last story, and I wrote mine so long ago it was practically with a feather pen. I need that news splash - the pregnant man or an impeached president... or, better yet, a rendezvous with a superhero.

  Chloe Sullivan : I thought you gave up on the costumed crusaders after The Red-Blue Blur ignored your open letter begging for an interview.

  Lois Lane : Can you blame the guy? What was I thinking? If you want your first interview with a rock star, you don't start with Springsteen.

  Chloe Sullivan : [Chuckles]  I had idea you we such a groupie of the red, bold, and blue.

  Lois Lane : Well, who isn't? The man has reinvented the American hero. Think about it. He saves people. He's mysterious, completely unavailable. What part of that doesn't scream "Lois Lane"?

• Lois Lane : You know what?

  [showing Chloe her superhero suit] 

  Lois Lane : Surprise! I'm Stiletto.

  Chloe Sullivan : Lois. Oh, my god, you did this for a story. Didn't you?

  Lois Lane : Okay. Clark's diatribe is still ringing in my ears. I don't need it in surround sound.

• Lois Lane : Hello to you, too. Expecting Freddy Krueger?

  Chloe Sullivan : What are you doing here? I thought you were tracking down Stiletto.

  Lois Lane : Oh, that story broke a proverbial heel. It's not happening.

• Chloe Sullivan : OK, but bold as she may be, I seriously doubt we're going to be able to call her out with a spiked heel over a klieg light.

• Lois Lane : Okay, obviously there's been some sort of mistake. It's not like I squeezed into five-inch booted heels for my health.

  Hostess : Ms. Lane, there's simply nothing I can do.

  Lois Lane : Actually, there is. You can tell Edward R. Murrow that he can kiss this cub reporter's sweet little...

  Chloe Sullivan : [approaching]  Lois!

  Lois Lane : Chloe, thanks for coming. The gargoyle at the gate was letting in everyone but me.

• Clark Kent : [catching Chloe at the hospital]  Is this what it takes to get a call back from you these days? Are you okay?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah, thanks for coming. Sorry about being the invisible best friend lately.

  Clark Kent : Where have you been?

  Chloe Sullivan : Um, Watchtower. Just when I thought I'd hit my fill of, uh, high-maintenance men, I take a job from Oliver.

  Clark Kent : I thought he was off the grid.

  Chloe Sullivan : He's in Syria. Sort of incommunicado with the rest of the world. Which is why I'm glad you're here. My laptop was in my back seat when the carjacker peeled away. I've been using it to update my Watchtower databases from home.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, those files contain details of nearly every operation.

  Chloe Sullivan : Hence the panicky flair with everything I've been saying. And before you bite my head off, I admit, I know I never should have taken it home.

  Clark Kent : Just tell me it was encrypted.

  Chloe Sullivan : But not unhackable.

• Clark Kent : Okay, I'll find your computer. Did you get a good look at the mugger?

  Chloe Sullivan : I got a good look at the asphalt after he hit me. But there was another witness. When I came to in the ambulance, Lois was raving about some mysterious heroine who swept in and saved the day. Stiletto?

  Clark Kent : Must be some kind of knife expert. Where is Lois, anyway?

  Chloe Sullivan : There may be a new superhero in town. Where do you think she is?

• A.J. : Did you know your transmission slips a bit in third?

  Chloe Sullivan : What are you doing here?

  A.J. : What do you know about Stiletto?

  Chloe Sullivan : Stiletto? I don't know who you're talking about.

• Lois Lane : Jimmy's not answering his phone, and I was just wondering if perhaps you knew...

  Chloe Sullivan : Where my ex was? I thought that's what Facebook updates were for. Why are you even looking for him?

  Lois Lane : Uh... I needed his help photographing something, and now I need his help burning the evidence.

• Chloe Sullivan : [listening to Lois gush about the Red-Blue Blur]  God, you seriously have a crush on him, don't you?

  Lois Lane : I respect his heroism, professionally. But even when I did lower the bar and tried to slum a Green Arrow interview, it turns out Mr. Emerald Chaps is another closet case when it comes to publicity.

  Chloe Sullivan : Lois, they wear costumes because they don't want publicity. Now, hurry up. I'm parked illegally.

  Lois Lane : Uh. Hold on. These heels are silent killers.

• Clark Kent : Chloe, it turns out Lois' super-friend may be our only hope in getting your laptop back. According to Met PD, Stiletto's takedown posted bail before they ever got him behind bars.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, I haven't been able to find any more leads on Stiletto's whereabouts, but you might wanna take a look at this.

  Clark Kent : [she types on her keyboard]  "Blur-Etto"?

  Chloe Sullivan : You know you've made it when you have your own fan site. And it looks like your fans are doing a little matchmaking.

  Clark Kent : [reading the posts]  "No one understands a hero's life of solitude better than a fellow cape"? "These two lonely hearts belong together"? Who thinks this stuff up?

  Chloe Sullivan : Are they that far off the mark?

  Clark Kent : Chloe, romance is the last thing on my mind right now.

  Chloe Sullivan : I know. But let's face it. You thought you found your super-powered soul mate in Lana, and I haven't heard you say a word about her since she left.

  Clark Kent : That's because I have you.

  Chloe Sullivan : Come on, Clark. I know I haven't been the most reliable sidekick lately, and Oliver and his gang are MIA. Having someone on speed dial who knows what it's like to lead a double life might not be such a bad thing.

  Clark Kent : No, my double life and I are just fine. I'd rather focus on finding Stiletto and getting your computer back.

• Chloe Sullivan : Hey, Clark. Thank you. I never thought it would feel so good to be reunited with a bunch of silicone microchips.

  Clark Kent : I grabbed it before the police arrived. So hopefully Mannheim wasn't able to pull any files off of it.

  Chloe Sullivan : Well, rest assured, Tony Soprano, Jr. is my last close call. I am done traveling with all of my techno treasures in one basket.

• Clark Kent : Are you expecting company?

  Chloe Sullivan : Uh, no. Turns out that my body's natural reaction to stress is to bake undigestible amounts of food.

  Clark Kent : Really? After all the near-apocalypses we've been through, I've never seen more than a chocolate chip cookie come out of that oven. Are you okay?

  Chloe Sullivan : It's... I mean, you almost died yesterday. For my computer.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, you made an honest mistake.

  [showing her that where the bullet grazed him has healed] 

  Clark Kent : I'm fine. I know you better than that. This is not about a computer. What's wrong?

  Chloe Sullivan : Nothing. Really, I'm fine. Look, I apologize if I've been a little off my game lately. It's just that after my divorce and Brainiac and now playing Watchtower to a bunch of needy superheroes, I forget that I need to be all smiles all the time.

  Clark Kent : Chloe, no one expects you to bounce back from everything you've been through. I just want you to know I'm here for you if you need me.

  Chloe Sullivan : I know. But right now, I really just need a little bit of space. Not a super save, okay?
