- Lois Lane: If you wanna kill Superman, I don't know why you're going to Smallville or 1966.
- Tempus: She doesn't know yet. Oh, this is good. This is really good. Um, Lois, did you know that, in the future, you're revered at the same level as Superman? Why there are books about you, statues, an interactive game. You're even a breakfast cereal.
- Lois Lane: Really?
- Tempus: Yes. But, as much as everybody loves you, there is one question that keeps coming up: "How dumb was she?" Here, I'll show you what I mean. Look.
- [puts glasses on]
- Tempus: I'm Clark Kent.
- [Takes glasses off]
- Tempus: No, I'm Superman.
- [Puts glasses on]
- Tempus: Mild-mannered reporter.
- [Takes glasses off]
- Tempus: Superhero. Hello! Duh! Clark Kent is Superman. Ha, ha, ha. Well, that was worth the whole trip. To actually meet the most galactically stupid woman who ever lived.
- Clark Kent: Lois I have hated not being able to tell you this. I mean do you think it was easy for me sitting there watching you swoon over Superman at the same time ignoring me?
- Lois Lane: That's ridiculous you are Superman.
- Clark Kent: No Lois. Superman is what I can do. Clark is who I am. And the closer we've gotten the more I've wanted to explain this to you.
- H.G. Wells: What's the matter, my dear?
- Lois Lane: Oh, you've been to the future, Mr. Wells. Is it true what Tempus said about me?
- H.G. Wells: Oh, yes. You're as highly revered as any woman in history.
- Lois Lane: Oh, no, I'm meant about being galactically stupid.
- H.G. Wells: No, no, no, Miss Lane, not stupid: blind. It is one of the many things that makes your story so timeless. Why children never tire of hearing it at bedtime. Why parents never outgrow it. Generation after generation, we are all blinded by love, Miss Lane. Especially that one great love that changes us forever.
- Tempus: Excuse me, but I'm in danger of choking on my own vomit.
- Martha Kent: It's just I'm not able to have children... But I know that if I were to find a baby, I would be the most grateful woman in the world.
- Clark Kent: And the world's best mom.
- Tempus: You want to know the future, Miss Lane? No one works, no one argues, there are 9,000 channels and NOTHING ON!
- [Lois has just found out Clark is Superman]
- Lois Lane: [slaps Clark] And don't pretend that hurt... Superman!
- [in 1866]
- Marshall Kent: [to Lois and Clark] Gone, which is exactly where we'd like you and the naked lady.
- Lois Lane: Naked? I'm not naked. These are just new fashions from... France.
- Frank James: Jesse, it happens to every man once in a while.
- Jesse James: Not to me.
- Frank James: Look, it's not your fault. His was just plain bigger.
- Jesse James: Size never made no difference before.
- Frank James: You gotta get your mind off this, Jesse, or it could affect your future performance.
- H.G. Wells: I won't let you hurt him, I will fight you with my last breath.
- Tempus: Really?
- H.G. Wells: I swear it!
- Tempus: [hits Wells who falls unconscious] Sorry, can't have you swearing in front of the baby.
- Lois Lane: [to Clark] Is this going to feel as weird to you as it does to me, knowing you are Superman from now on?
