Quotes 

• Greg Arkin : I have a message for Clark Kent.

  Lois Lane : Yeah? How about "Don't leave your date with Punch Bowl Maddy"?

  Greg Arkin : Something tells me it's for a good reason. You know, Clark is the reason a lot of us are still here.

  Lois Lane : Oh?

  Greg Arkin : I kind of got caught up in my web of obsession. He set me straight. It's not every place that has a hometown hero like Clark Kent.

  Lois Lane : That's the kind of guy he is.

  Greg Arkin : Just tell him. Tell him thank you.

• Lois Lane : Come on. Did you forget? Tomorrow's our Smallville High reunion.

  Clark Kent : Did you say *our* reunion?

  Lois Lane : Yes.

  Clark Kent : You were enrolled there for like...

  Lois Lane : Twenty three days.

  Clark Kent : You showed up for five.

  Lois Lane : That's a record in my book. Smallville is the closest thing to a past that this military brat has, and I am not gonna miss it. We don't have to be dating to show up at a reunion together.

  Clark Kent : There's a lot of memories there for me.

  Lois Lane : Come on, Clark. It would mean a lot to me, seeing all those familiar faces, like I had a place to fit in. And you, I mean, you put the Smallville in Smallville, Smallville. Besides, what's the worst that can happen?

• Clark Kent : I'm from another time.

  Future Lois Lane : No kidding. Clark, you're from another planet. That's not exactly a news flash.

• Lois Lane : [to Clark]  Now, this is the homecoming I'm talking about. Thank God you squeaked out a state championship in your senior year.

• Lois Lane : [entering the barn]  Clark?

  [a spotlight shines on a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, and Kim Taylor's "Baby, I Need You" plays] 

  Lois Lane : Not that I'm an interior designer, but one of these things doesn't exactly go with the other.

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry we missed our dance.

  Lois Lane : You don't need to worry about me, Clark. If anybody understands deadlines and urgent... things, it's me.

  Clark Kent : I'm not worried about you. I missed you.

  Lois Lane : Oh. Well, I-I don't know. Neither of us are primed for "Dancing with the Stars". And speaking strictly as friends, I don't know if this is such a good idea.

  Clark Kent : Lois, get over here.

  Lois Lane : I'm not sure how we're gonna make this work without the jukebox, nostalgia, and the balloons, and...

  Clark Kent : Lois...

  Lois Lane : [getting the message from his tone]  Shut up?

• Future Lois Lane : Wait a minute. Oh, no. Kryptonite again?

  Clark Kent : Look, I...

  Future Lois Lane : [looks into Clark's eyes]  Blue? Red? Not green? Please tell it's not the black. Because that was a disaster.

  Clark Kent : Look, I just... I need the Legion ring. Lois, do you know where it is?

  Future Lois Lane : Is that a joke, Clark? Touch it once, shame on you. Touch it twice it, shame on me. And actually, I could really use it right now, because we need to be on the opposite sides of town in ten minutes.

• Clark Kent : [dancing in the barn]  I love you.

  Lois Lane : I love you, too.

  [resting her head on his shoulder] 

  Lois Lane : Clark, there's something that we need to talk about.

  Clark Kent : Just for now... can we leave tomorrow 'til tomorrow and just have this?

• Maddie Haroldhaus : Lois, huh, so who you here with?

  Lois Lane : I'm an alum.

  [Maddie looks confused] 

  Lois Lane : Lois Lane.

  [Maddie Stares blankly] 

  Lois Lane : I'm with Clark Kent.

  Maddie Haroldhaus : Really? Oh, I just always thought Clark was so dreamy you know? That farmboy next door turned local football hero. Doesn't get any bigger then that.

  [Laughs] 

  Maddie Haroldhaus : Funny, I always thought he and Chloe were meant for each other, they had that whole best friend with the hope of more thing.

• Clark Kent : [the reunion ends just as they step onto the dance floor]  I'm sorry.

  Lois Lane : That's okay. Who wants a dance, anyway, right? You saved me the blisters, Smallville. Besides, you know what? I have an early deadline tomorrow. Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today?

  Clark Kent : You're quite a handful, Lois Lane.

  Lois Lane : Look who's talking.

• Future Lois Lane : [after Present Clark saves her helicopter from crashing]  What are you doing?

  [she "draws" circles around her eyes, indicating his glasses] 

• Future Lois Lane : I don't know what's gotten into you, but there is a pilot with a raging migraine when he wakes up who wishes you could have at least thrown on the cape.

  Clark Kent : Lois... you protected my secret.

  Future Lois Lane : [kissing him]  What else was I gonna do? I would do anything for you. Hardly news flash. Thank you.

  [they kiss again] 

  Future Lois Lane : Ah. You drive me crazy.

  Clark Kent : I guess I should get going.

  Future Lois Lane : Oh. Right. Obviously. Busy day for a superhero.

• Clark Kent : Lois, I'm not supposed to be here.

  Future Lois Lane : I know. We're late.

  Clark Kent : Late? Lois, I need to get back. Look, the Legion ring is the only way to do it.

  Future Lois Lane : Back? Okay, listen, why don't you check your trunk of tcotchkes at the farm? Isn't that where you keep all your go-to phantom catchers and Fortress discs and stuff? And if you need me, I am there. No deadline is more important than you, okay?

  [pushing him into the elevator and playfully swatting his butt] 

  Future Lois Lane : Going up. You're going down.

• Future Lois Lane : I didn't mean to come off so Lois. It's just that sometimes when you get pensive, I know that it's because you have the whole "last son of Krypton" thing weighing on your shoulders. Okay, but that's why you've got me, okay? To remind you that if you were to crash-land your spaceship anywhere, you couldn't have chosen better people to find you than the Kents. So you need to snap out of it.

  [seeing his face] 

  Future Lois Lane : Wait. I know what this is about. I forgot again, didn't I? Our anniversary?

  Clark Kent : Our anniversary?

  Future Lois Lane : Oh, don't play dumb. You always hold it over me. The day you told me. The day you finally trusted me. It was... it was romantic. And it was the perfect day. And... okay, I-I always forget about it until the last minute, but I swear it is not until...

  [checking her datebook] 

  Future Lois Lane : See? I told you.

• Clark Kent : Lois. How...?

  Future Lois Lane : [seeing him in his high school letterman jacket]  Not again. Come on.

  [ushering him into a nearby phone booth] 

  Future Lois Lane : Seriously?

  Clark Kent : Wait...

  Future Lois Lane : [taking his jacket off]  I know we agreed that we would keep our professional lives to ourselves, but what kind of secret story got you to dress-up day? Here, hold this. And, honey, I know that you don't like them, but you were the one that decided you wanted to wear them, and lucky for you, I have spare.

  [she puts a pair of glasses on him] 

  Clark Kent : [moving to take them off]  No...

  Future Lois Lane : Hey! I know they are not fashion-forward, but if it ain't broke, honey, don't fix it.

  [seeing his blue shirt] 

  Future Lois Lane : Seriously? Clark... I-I thought we agreed on a Daily Planet dress code.

• Suzanne Capra : Clark! I can't believe you're here. What happened to the bumbling nerd?

  Clark Kent : Susan Capra.

  Suzanne Capra : Suzanne, actually. You always mixed us up.

  Clark Kent : Well, you haven't changed a bit.

  Suzanne Capra : Bak-bak, crow.

  Lois Lane : Oh.

  Suzanne Capra : [giving him his name tag]  Oh. Here you go.

  Clark Kent : Thank you.

  Suzanne Capra : Are you his plus-one?

  Lois Lane : [insulted]  I went to school here, people.

• Lois Lane : Hey, Mark. Smokin' times, huh?

  Mark Verheiden : Should I know you?

  Lois Lane : Like you don't remember all of us behind the gym on a smoke break. I mean, I was chewing gum at the time, but...

  [seeing they don't recognize her] 

  Lois Lane : Really? Nothing?

• Guidance Counselor : Well, look who it is. Clark Kent. Have I got something for you. A hug!

  Clark Kent : [feeling akward as she hugs him tightly]  Um, thanks.

  Guidance Counselor : [letting him go]  Oh, now, don't leave early. We've got a special treat for you.

  Lois Lane : A couple more hugs and maybe you'll have the bah humbugs squeezed out of you.

• Lois Lane : Hero haters. Just when you think the world couldn't get more upside down, right?

  Clark Kent : People probably don't want to put their hope in someone who's gonna let them down.

  Lois Lane : He never would. Let us down. The Blur, I mean. And this person, for one, is gonna stand by her hero no matter how much mud they sling.

  Clark Kent : Why?

  Lois Lane : Because that's what you do when you believe in someone.

• Lois Lane : You know what you need? A pick-me-up.

  Clark Kent : [she tosses him a football]  Thanks, Lois, but I don't think playing quarterback is gonna make my day.

  Lois Lane : Depends on the cheerleader.
