Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Clark Kent : Yeah Yeah, everyone, everything is absolutely fine. Um... Mom and Dad, and, uh, Mom & Dad, uh... we have something to tell you.

  [the baby coos as Lois walks in the room and shows hers and Clark's parents their new baby. Clark chuckles and everybody smiles as the baby continues to coo] 

• Clark Kent : I just came back from Star Labs.

  Lois Lane : Really? Well you could of just called me. What did Dr Klein say?

  [Sees the look on Clark's face] 

  Lois Lane : Oh you couldn't just call me. Cause the news... the news isn't good.

  Clark Kent : Dr. Klein ran every possible test he could. Poor guy could barely even face me. But he told me that Superman's biology and an earth woman's are incompatible for reproduction.

  [Lois starts crying] 

  Clark Kent : I told myself I'd never make you cry, I'm sorry.

  Lois Lane : [Tries to pull herself together]  I feel so confused. I feel like I... I feel like I lost something I never really had.

  Clark Kent : We haven't lost anything Honey.

  Lois Lane : Look you can't try and make me feel better, I mean that's what you always do with everything and it's sweet but I know how much you want to have kids.

  Clark Kent : Lois, I want you to hear me, okay, really hear me. Every time, every time we make love, we make... love. That's the strongest lifeforce there is. Whether or not that results in another little person. And for me it is creation.

  Lois Lane : [Crying again]  Oh Clark.

  Clark Kent : You fill me with life.

  [Clark holds Lois as she continues to cry] 

• Lois Lane : Clark I'm sorry.

  Clark Kent : For what?

  Lois Lane : I'm sorry that Daddy can't find anything wrong with Star Labs data. He doesn't think we'll be able to have kids.

  Clark Kent : Honey I have not for one second doubted in us. We live the impossible. Now a child is something brought about by love isn't it?

  [Lois nods her head yes] 

  Clark Kent : Well then that above all else has GOT to be possible for us.

• Lois Lane : Clark, you know how I get when I want to fix something?

  Clark Kent : Well, first you eat a lot of chocolate while you figure out your next move.

  Lois Lane : [Holds up empty chocolate bar wrapper]  Check.

  Clark Kent : [laughs]  Then you get that real determined look on your face, sort of like you've got right now. And then the seas part.

  Lois Lane : Listen. We have come through almost every conceivable disaster usually by inconceivable means. And if conceiving is what we want I think we're gonna have to be fearless once again.

• Clark Kent : Ms. Bailey, my wife is a complete professional. Someone who cares very very much about this world. Frankly she is... she's the best person that I know. Any child who is lucky enough to have Lois as their mother will be the luckiest child alive.

• Clark Kent : [Finds Lois looking upset]  Honey, she is not the final word on this. Don't be sad.

  Lois Lane : I'm not sad I'm angry! You know it's discrimination. What no people with risky jobs can have kids? So I guess cops and test pilots and trapeze artists can forget it to. And what does she think? Does she think that I'm deliberately gonna run around sticking my neck out after I adopt a child? I mean how dumb does she think I am?

  Clark Kent : [laughs]  See this is why I love you.

  Lois Lane : Because I'm crabby?

  Clark Kent : No. Because you NEVER give up. We'll figure something out. In the meantime we'll just have a terrific family of two.

• [Lois opens a package and finds a bassinet and then Clark walks in] 

  Lois Lane : Honey. Is this your way of telling me we can have a baby?

  [Cuts to commercial] 

  Lois Lane : Yours? This was your bassinet?

  Clark Kent : Yeah but I didn't have it sent here. I haven't even spoken to Dr. Klein yet. Maybe my mom and dad...

  Lois Lane : When? They've been in Metropolis for a week.

  Clark Kent : [Doorbell rings]  Well that's them, you can ask them yourself.

  Martha Kent : Hi. Sorry we forgot the key.

  Jonathan Kent : We haven't kept you from dinner have we?

  Clark Kent : No, no, no we've had other things to keep us busy.

  [points to the bassinet] 

  Martha Kent : Oh, it got here!

  Lois Lane : So you did send it?

  Martha Kent : Well with all this talk of babies in the air we called home and had our hired hand send it as a surprise.

  Jonathan Kent : If we were being a little...

  Martha Kent : ...presumptuous, but the idea of having a grandchild just is so...

  Jonathan Kent : ...exciting, we wanted to help you get...

  Martha Kent : ...started and show you some...

  Jonathan Kent : ...shortcuts and pitch in like...

  Martha Kent : ...family if that's...

  Clark Kent : ...okay?

  Martha Kent , Jonathan Kent : Yes

  Lois Lane : Of course it is, I can't think of two better parental experts than the people who raised my husband.

  Martha Kent : Oh, we did do a pretty good job, huh?

  Lois Lane : That's why I'm so anxious to hear from Dr. Klein. The world needs another Clark Kent.

• Lois Lane : Well my parents are back to normal. Clueless that their son-in-law moonlights in tights.

  Clark Kent : I guess knowing I'm Superman brought them nothing but unpleasantness so now that memory is gone.

  Lois Lane : I don't think mom remembers being mad at daddy either.

  Clark Kent : Apparently not because I caught 'um kissing on the terrace.
