Most scenes with: Superman (6), Perry White (2)
I don't have a halo over my head, General. I walked into the desert, people died. It keeps me awake at night. It should.
All this time. I've been living my life the way my father saw it. Righting wrongs for a ghost. Thinking I'm here to do good. Superman was never real – just a dream of a farmer from Kansas.
Lois Lane That farmer's dream is all some people have. It's all that gives them hope. [touches the S shield] This means something.
It did on my world. My world doesn't exist anymore.
You're– letting him– k-kill Martha–
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?! MARTHA?! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!
Lois Lane Clark! Stop! Please! Stop!
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!
Lois Lane It's his mother's name! It's his mother's name.
Kent It's like a one-man reign of terror. This bat vigilante has been consistently targeting the port and the adjacent projects and tenements. And, as far as I can tell, the cops are actually helping him.
"Crime Wave in Gotham". Other breaking news; "Water. Wet". Did you file the football yet?
Kent Why aren't we covering this this? Poor people don't buy papers?
People don't buy papers, period, Kent.
Kent Perry, when you assign a story, you're making a choice about who matters. And who's worth it.
Good morning, Smallville. The American conscience died with Robert, Martin and John.
Lois Sorry. I'm sorry. [Holding up a baggie of a bullet] No match. No guys in the crime lab ever seen one before.
Lois Recovered from scene of the firefight in the desert. Not sold anywhere commercially in the world, even black market.
So?
Lois So who gave prototype military rounds to Tuareg fighters in the Sahara?
You're the reporter. Tell me.
Lois I think the U.S. government is arming the rebels while claiming to support the elected government!
The Ask, Lois!
Lois Flight to D.C. Couple of days there.
Go! Coach. No extra leg room!
Lois Economy plus.
Coach!
So why didn't you tell me? You're digging up snakes Lo'. It's kind of dangerous.
Lois That is why I didn't tell you.
Lane, don't you have a plane to catch?
Lois Yes, sir. [Walks away]
Benefit for the Library of the Metropolis. Someone on the committee that Clark Kent cover it. Probably some old charity crone who's got a thing for nerds. [Walks away]
Wrong room Miss.
Lois Secretary Swannick, you haven't been returning my phone calls.
Miss Lane, if you'd like an interview, Major Farris is just outside that door.
Lois You're treating me like a stranger?
I'm treating you like a reporter.
Lois All right. Is the U.S. government providing experimental military arms to rebels in Africa?
You know, with balls like yours, you belong in here. [Walks away] What's your source on this? A tin-foil hat?
Lois No, not tin. But it's metal. Fired in the Superman incident. Experts at The Pentagon can't ID it. We haven't been told the truth.
Here's the truth. [Walks up to her] A reporter got greed for a scoop and went where she shouldn't have. Superman acted like some rogue combatant to rescue her, and people died. Don't invent a conspiracy theory to put back his halo. Or yours. [Walks away]
Plain Lo in the morning. Lola in slacks. Lois Lane. Hmm. [Puts arm on her shoulders] Come see the view.
Lois Hmm-mmm
Now the secret to the height is the building material. It's light metals which sway a bit in the wind. Hmm. And you know something about LexCorp metals, don't you, Miss Lane?
Lois I've proven what you've done.
Wow, your feisty. Unfortunately, that will blow you away. Like sand in the desert.
Lois You're psychotic.
That is a three-syllable word for any thought too big for little minds. [Flicks her forehead] Next category: circles. Round and round and round they go to find Superman. Wrong category, boy. No, no, triangles. Yes, Euclid's triangle inequality. The shortest distance between any two points is a straight path. And I believe the straightest path to Superman is a pretty little road... hmm. Called Lois Lane. [Pushes her off the skyscraper and she is rescued by Superman]
Lois. I have to go back to Gotham to convince him to help me.
Lois Who?
Or he has to die.
Lois Clark.
No one stays good in this world. [Flies up]
I love you.
Lois Lane No, Clark, you can't.
This is my world.
Lois Lane No, Clark, don't-
You are my world. [Flies to pick up the spear and charges headlong towards Doomsday]
Lois Please, CLARK!
