QUOTES

Lois Lane: Look, I appreciate you helping me audition, I’m still angry you didn’t tell me how bad Oliver was doing, but you’re here anyway, so please, don’t make me wish you weren’t.
Clark Kent: It’s okay, Lois. You don’t need to get all worked up like you usually do.
Lois Lane: Well, excuse me Mr. I’m-slow-and-steady-and-know-what’s-best-for-everyone, this happens to be important to me. With newspapers on the endangered species list, news television is my one and only back-up plan.
Clark Kent: Don’t you think you can be a little less dramatic with this whole thing?
Lois Lane: You could be a little more passionate with this whole thing. But not you, not mild-mannered Clark Kent. Do you even care if I get this job?
Clark Kent: Of course I care, I bought a new tie.
Lois Lane: Oh, well I bought a whole new outfit.
Clark Kent: Yeah, you look great.
Lois Lane: Don’t do that.
Clark Kent: Do what?
Lois Lane: Don’t you dare reassure me right now.
Clark Kent: Lois, I’m only doing this for you. How else am I going to get that second date?
Lois Lane: Well, you should have thought of that before you stood me up the first time.

Lois Lane:: You know how Clark and I have this side job hosting “Good Morning Metropolis”?
Oliver Queen: Uh… Clark Kent’s hosting morning television? I can’t to watch him show me how to bake a cake.
Lois Lane: Well, our first report does have some heat, but it’s not about baking. They’ve set us both up for blind dates.
Oliver Queen: Clark’s on a blind date? Talk about footage of a train wreck.

Stuart Campbell: Look, I can handle any hacker, okay, but I think you should know someone’s trying to get through to us right now, and I think they’re pretty good, so…
Tess Mercer: Then be better. Fix the situation, Stuart. Or I’ll have you terminated.
Stuart Campbell: Okay. By terminated, though, you mean fired right? Right?

Clark Kent: I guess this means you forgive me.
Lois Lane:: Well, let’s just say I won’t forget about you when I go national.
Producer: Uh, actually, we want you both.
Clark Kent: I’m sorry?

SUPERMAN REFERENCES

In this episode Oliver’s comic sidekick Mia aka Speedy and Cat Grant made their debut. Smallville’s Cat Grant follows the comic book version where Cat has a job at a TV channel.

The sequence where Clark steps in front of the bullets to save Lois and Oliver is a homage to the similar sequence in the Superman Returns film.

The RAO Corporation reffers to Rao, the red sun that Krypton used to orbit.

The first real kiss between Clark and Lois.

Clark and Lois being TV news reporter is a nod to a comic book issue where both were TV news reporters.
