Perry White
[Walks up to Clark in office]

Kent. You're sports today. I want you to go to Gotham and follow up on football. [Envisioning headline] "Underdog Dreams Dashed: Ten Yards between Gotham and Glory". Oh, um, watch yourself over there in Gotham. Don't let them take your lunch money.

Perry White
[After watching news report of Wallace vandalizing Superman statue with statement of "False God"]

Jenny. Headline. "End of Love Affair With Man In The Sky". Question mark.

Kent
[To Perry in meeting room]

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.

Perry
[Makes a sweeping gesture]

"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?

Perry

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.

Perry

Good morning, Smallville. The American conscience died with Robert, Martin and John.

[Enters meeting room]

Sorry. I'm sorry. [Holding up a baggie of a bullet] No match. No guys in the crime lab ever seen one before.

Perry
[Snatches bag from Lois]

It's called a bullet. You shoot people with them.

Recovered from scene of the firefight in the desert. Not sold anywhere commercially in the world, even black market.

Perry

So?

So who gave prototype military rounds to Tuareg fighters in the Sahara?

Perry

You're the reporter. Tell me.

I think the U.S. government is arming the rebels while claiming to support the elected government!

Perry

The Ask, Lois!

Flight to D.C. Couple of days there.

Perry

Go! Coach. No extra leg room!

[Opens door and turns around pointing]

Economy plus.

Perry

Coach!

Clark

So why didn't you tell me? You're digging up snakes Lo'. It's kind of dangerous.

[Condescendingly smirks]

That is why I didn't tell you.

Perry

Lane, don't you have a plane to catch?

Yes, sir. [Walks away]

Perry
[Hands paper to Clark]

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]
