John Corben: I'm a field reporter. I spent the last few years in Afghanistan. hopefully that gave me enough training to be your desk mate.
Lois: Don't bet on it.

Lois: Are you still at the office?
Corben: No, no. Sitting behind a desk just isn't the same without those pretty brown eyes of yours - I don't know - glaring at me.

Lois: I just came to tell you that I'm not leaving the Daily Planet.
Tess: You were never leaving, Lois. I fired you.
Lois: Well, I'm not going to get into the whole "she said, she said" thing with you.

Lois: Well, it looks like the night shift finall clocked in. what happened--try to shave in your sleep?
Corben: Why do the electronic records in this place only go back a year.
Lois: Hello. Lois. Banter, banter, banter. What happened, did your snappy patter set with the sun?

Lois: Clark Kent. You're back. I was beginning to think your family lived on some distant planet.
Clark: Must have really missed me.

Clark: Missed you, too, Lois.

Clark: It just doesn't make any sense. Tess is not the nervous-breakdown type.
Lois: But she is the lying, cheating, scheming type. You keep enough secrets, they start to back up on your brain, Clark. Seriously--alien orbs? Now she's rambling about zombies. It all adds up to "C" for "crazy.

Lois: But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent.
Clark: Which side was that?
Lois: I'll give you a hint. It stars with "H" and ends with "ero."

Lois: About time you got home. Shelby's great and all, but the conversation... a little one-sided.
Clark: Shouldn't you be riding a mechanical bull somewhere? It is Friday night.

Clark: I hope I have enough detergent. How do you even have anything left to wear?
Lois: You know, most guys wouldn't complain if I suddenly found myself shirtless.

Are you like this at the movie theater, too, Clark? I mean, these concession runs are sweet, but you're up and down more often than the Cubs' batting lineup.

John Corben: Good find?
Lois: Look, on a scale of 1 to 10 of illegal things I've done in my life, this doesn't even hit the radar. Okay, that didn't exactly come out right.
