Lois Lane
Okay. Go get your penguin suit on, and we'll go.

[Clark opens the doors to the balcony, and the two walk out; the two keep walking; Clark keeps walking, pulling Lois along; Clark walks onto the balcony edge, pulling Lois along; Lois grabs his arm; Clark keeps walking, pulling Lois along; Clark walks off the balcony, with Lois falling with him; Clark lets go of her hand and falls ahead; Superman arrives, wearing Clark's glasses, and catches Lois. Lois wraps her arms around Superman and smiles. She then sees that Superman is wearing Clark's glasses, surprising her; she takes off Clark's glasses and puts them on the belt of her dress. She sighs erotically]

Longing for Connection and Understanding
Lois Lane
Can you read my mind? Do you know what it is that you do to me? I don't know who you are. Just a friend from another star. Here I am, like a kid out of school. Holding hands with a god. I'm a fool. Will you look at me? Quivering. Like a little girl, shivering. You can see right through me. Can you read my mind? Can you picture the things I'm thinking of? Wondering why you are...all the wonderful things you are. You can fly. You belong in the sky. You and I...could belong to each other. If you need a friend...I'm the one to fly to. If you need to be loved...here I am. Read my mind.

Clark's Unique Perspective on New Experiences

Swell"? You know, Clark, there are very few people left in the world who feel comfortable saying that word.
Clark Kent
What word?
Lois Lane
Swell".
Clark Kent
Really? It just sort of comes naturally to me.

Realizations and Misunderstandings in Conversation
Lois Lane
You know, it's, it's really amazing. I never started to put it together before now. It's just kind of funny, you know, cause a good reporter isn't supposed to let anything slip by her.
Clark Kent
No. Course not.
Lois Lane
Well, uh, I'm beginning to get the picture.
Clark Kent
As usual, Lois, I-I really don't know what you're talking about. Um, tell you what, I-I'll meet you back at the hotel.
Lois Lane
What's your hurry, Superman?
Lois Lane
I gotta admit, you know. Your disguise is nearly perfect. You had me fooled. And I am nobody's fool, believe me.
Clark Kent
Oh no, of course not, Lois. I mean, you just have an active imagination. You just get carried away sometimes. Believe me, I understand. It can happen to anybody.
Lois Lane
Listen, I'm so sure you're Superman, that I'm willing to bet my life on it.
Clark Kent
What?
Clark Kent
Hmm.
Lois Lane
And if I'm wrong, you've got yourself one hell of a story.
Clark Kent
You think I'm Superman? Boy, you certainly have some imagination, Lois. Huh. For a minute there, you almost had me convinced , for a minute.
[makes a flying gesture with his arm; Lois nods.; turns around and starts walking]
Lois
Bye bye Baby!

Lois Lane
I'm always here for you, you know that. And you'll do the right thing, no matter what it is, you always have.

You don't even know my name.
Lois Lane

Superman

[she nods]
Lois Lane
I remember everything.
Superman
Never set one of them above the rest. Love all humanity instead". It's not fair.
[he shakes his head and sighs; He gives her a long, passionate kiss. As he lifts his head away from her face, Lois's eyes are closed, her head falls back, and her shoulders relax. She is in a trance-like state. Superman takes his glasses off her dress. She is bobbling back and forth. Superman walks back into his apartment and goes to his room. Clark comes out wearing a suit and puts on his glasses. He takes Lois's coat and purse on the armchair and walks to the door leading to the balcony]
Clark Kent
Lois. Uh Lois, it's time to go. We'll be late.
[Lois is still in a trance-like state. When he calls her name, she starts to awaken; Lois swings her head sexily towards Clark. She turns her head around uncertainly]
Clark Kent
Oh no, that's okay. I don't want to catch a cold. Here you go.
Lois Lane
God!
Clark Kent
Shall we go?
Lois Lane

Clark Kent
Jeepers!
Lois Lane

[The two stop at the door, and Lois looks at Clark]
Clark Kent
Nope. Things are pretty clear, really.
Lois Lane
Good! Too much thinking wears down your batteries. Clark! You gotta go with your gut!
[Lois places her hands on Clark's arms; She winks. She walks to the door and turns around, pointing the hand with her purse at Clark, the other grabbing the doorknob]
Clark Kent
Hm?
[Lois opens the door]
Lois Lane
C'mon!
[She walks out, the door slightly closing behind her]

A Message of Unconditional Love and Support
Lois Lane
Well, if he can't manage and if he really is in trouble, then there's, uh, there's a few things I'd like to tell him. I'd tell him that I will always cherish the time we spent together. And I never expected anything in return and no matter how few minutes I saw him for, it always made me happy. And I would tell him, that I love him. And that I'll always love him. And that whatever happens to the world, I, I know that he's doing his best to make sure it'll be all right for the rest of us.
