A scene from Superman II 1980
Clark Kent
[Clark and Lois enter Mr. White's office]

Good Morning, Lois. How are you today?

Lois Lane

Oh, I'm just super. Thanks.

Clark Kent

Good morning, Mr. White.

Lois Lane
[elbows Clark]

I'm super.

Perry White

Yeah, morning. You're late, Kent.

Clark Kent

Yeah, uh, sorry, Mr. White. I got stuck in traffic.

Lois Lane

Oh, that's a new one.

Clark Kent

Excuse me?

Lois Lane

I mean, as opposed to: "I got stuck in a phone booth" or "I got locked in the men's bathroom".

Clark Kent

Lois, what are you talking about? I'm sorry I was late-

Perry White

If you two wanna bicker, that's great! I have just the assignment for you. You're gonna pose as a honeymoon couple in Niagara Falls to get an expose on the newlywed racket. Some of the hotels up there are just bilking those poor kids for every cent they can get. Real human-interest stuff, though. Make your Aunt Hattie cry her eyes out.

Clark Kent

Um, newlyweds?

Lois Lane

That is a great idea, Mr. White!

Clark Kent

Excuse me, Mr. White, I'm sorry, but I'm right in the middle of a series on the city council and I-

Lois Lane

I mean, it wouldn't take long! We could just fly right up there and zoom back down again. No, Superman?

Perry White

Ha! Yeah. If he'd give you two a ride, maybe we could save a couple bucks.
