Lois Lane I didn't actually make it through your writing, Clark. Knowledge is worth many sacrifices. That isn't one of them.

Let's do it, Cronkite.
Lois Superman.
Miss Lane.
Lois Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what some might--
I don't know if it's a lot of fire, but--
Lois It's a lot. Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was gonna look into your actions in Boravia.
(exhales)
Lois That-- that's funny?
It's not "funny" funny, it's just, um... I mean, come on. My actions? I stopped a war.
Lois Maybe.
Uh, not "maybe." I did.
Lois Okay. How?
Well, Boravia invaded Jarhanpur, and I showed up and told them that wasn't right.
Lois And?
And... smashed some tanks and things and a couple of planes and some other stuff. There were no casualties and no significant injuries.
Lois Did you interact at all with the President of Boravia, Vasil Ghurkos?
A very small amount.
Lois What's a very small amount?
That was between us.
Lois (pauses the recorder.)
This is all on the record.
Yeah, but that conversation was between the two of us.
Lois Yeah, and I would ask that question whether or not I knew the answer to it.
Really?
Lois Really.
Lois Where?
In the capital of Luchebic, at the Royal Palace.
Lois And?
And I took a private audience with Ghurkos.
Lois How?
I flew him out to the desert, and I...
Lois And you...
And I placed him against a cactus.
Lois A cactus? So... torture.
No. Not torture. Its spikes were like... not even that big.
Lois What did you say?
I told him that if he ever messes with Jarhanpur again, he'll have to personally answer to me.
Lois What did you mean by that?
That if such events occured, we would have a more serious problem, that's all.
Lois More serious than tearing up his back on a cactus?
Ghurkos was gonna kill people. You seem to keep forgetting that--
Lois So, in effect, you illegally entered a country, inserting yourself in the midddle of an incredibly heated geopolitical situation siding with a nation, Jarhanpur, which historically has not been a friend to the US against a nation that's technically our ally, and then threatened to murder their head of state.
[overlapping]
No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on a second. Jarhanpur has changed. First of all, whether or not Jarhanpur is an imperfect country does not give another nation the right to invade it.
Lois Yes, but the Boravian government maintains they're freeing the Jarhanpurians from a tyrannical regime.
Yes, but you know that's very silly.
Lois I do?
The Boravian goverment, of all people, is saying this? Come on!
Lois This is on the record, Superman.
Now--No. Now, see... Now you're being dishonest, Lois.
Lois How am I being dishonest? What are you--? Stop.
[looks for stop button]
Where's the button? You're being dishonest because you know as well as I do that the Boravian government is not well-intentioned.
Lois I think that's almost certainly the case, but do I know that? No, I don't. Can we go on now?
Yeah, fine. [tries turning the recorder on] I don't-- You do it.
Lois You think this is going well?
Do I think this is going well? Um... I think I'm doing a good job.
Lois Superman, did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?
Lois The Secretary of Defense?
No.
Lois Or any U.S. official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation--?
Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!
Lois Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world! More than a war that lasted between twelve and twenty-four hours!
[overlapping]
I wasn't representing anybody except for me and-- and-- myself and, and, and good! I don't know, doing good!
Lois It was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!
Is that really how you feel?
Lois I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman, but I--I'd question it! Yeah! I would question myself in the same situation and hold off a beat, consider the consequences!
PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!
Lois Lane My point is, I question everything and everyone. You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like, beautiful.
Maybe that's the real punk rock.
Lois Oh, my God! Why does he always trust everyone?!
He doesn't! Just us, because we are also of the cloth!
Lois "Of the cloth"?
[Guy gestures to his own super-suit.]
Lois You have a flying saucer, but you couldn't get a faster garage door?
Mr. Terrific
I haven't worked on that yet.
Lois [about Eve Teschmacher]
This girl is obsessed with you?
Jimmy Olsen
Uh-huh.
Lois ...How do you do it, Jimmy?
