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?
Corben: Where are the records?!?
Lois: A little less snap and a little more patter, please.

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.

Clark: Isn't it time we moved beyond these mental trials?
