Episode Quotes
 
Lois: Are you still at the office?
John 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.
 
Clark: I told you--there is no Clark Kent.
Chloe: No disrespect to your Kryptonian calling, but coming back to feed the dog is about as human as it gets.
 
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.
 
(Clark whooshes in)
Dr. Emil Hamilton: I understand it took Chloe... years to get used to your entrances.
 
Lois: Well, it looks like the night shift finally clocked in. What happened--try to shave in your sleep?
John 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?
John Corben: Where are the records?!?
Lois: A little less snap and a little more patter, please.
 
(to Clark)
John Corben: Control myself? That's easy for you to say. It doesn't take... much to stay in control when you watch from the shadows. You stand apart from the world... while the rest of us live in it. Even when it breaks your heart.
 
Lois: Clark Kent. You're back. I was beginning to think your family lived on some distant planet.
Clark: Must have really missed me.
Lois: Uh, only because the guy who sat in your desk was a certifiable psychopath. Otherwise, I've been so busy, I didn't even notice you were gone.
Clark: Missed you, too, Lois.

Lois: Since when did you becoming a living Lite-Brite?

Lite-Brite is a popular children's game/art tool where the user stick colored pegs into an outline on a black piece of paper fastened to a light panel. The light shines through the colored pegs but the not the black paper, making a pretty picture.
