Does anyone have a good way to make this less about the outfits and more about Clark?

What if Lois were to ask Clark directly if there was one thing he would change about the outfit? Or something like that. Maybe... If Clark could change his uniform would he? Ooooh. How about...

The next time Clark gripes about some aspect of his uniform remind him of how much worse it could have been.

Does that work?

I'd like to add another item to 98, but I am blanking on the specifics: I recall Clark (as Superman) saying something to the effect of, "You harm one hair on Lois' head and watch how fast my morals vanish." I know that that isn't an exact quote, and I'm not sure whether it was said when Clark had threatened to let a villain drop from the top of a tall building and not catch him.

It's obviously been too long since I've watched the shows. Which episode(s) and situation(s) am I half-remembering?

---

Sounds like two different episodes, Lynn. The dropping the criminal from the building was TOGoM (Dillinger)and the quote I think is from when Lois was arrested in "PvsLL", but I could be wrong. I know Clark says something like that to the district attorney, when they bring Lois back to jail, but it could also have been from that missing Tank written episode when Clark takes Lois to the hairdresser when they get back from Spencer's island.

CLARK: "That's my wife, Clemmons. I'm warning you, don't try and turn this into a campaign stunt."

CLEMMONS (D.A.): "I suggest you keep your emotions in check, Mr. Kent. You obviously have no idea who you're dealing with here."

CLARK (in his face): "Neither do you."

TEMPUS

You see, Randolph? That's something you must learn about superheroes -- no matter which way they turn, they're constantly bumping into their own ethics --


SUPERMAN

I'm going to bring you down, Tempus


TEMPUS

Who's 'Tempus?'


SUPERMAN

You've gone too far this time


TEMPUS

What are you gonna do -- impeach me?


SUPERMAN
I'll do what's necessary.


TEMPUS
And as you've already witnessed so will I. You may want to reconsider cooperating with the new administration, Superman ...


Tempus gets into Superman's face.

TEMPUS (CONT'D)

(softly, intensely)
One never knows when one's wife will drive her car off a cliff, does one?


They hold the look for a beat.


SUPERMAN

This is a warning -- stay away from her.


Superman turns and -- WHOOSH!, he's gone. Randolph steps up beside Tempus.

Nope, that wasn't the one. The one I was thinking of had Superman threatening a bad guy who considers the threat to be an idle bluff because everyone knows of Superman's high moral standards. Superman then replied with something to the effect that if Lois were injured, "watch how quickly my moral code vanishes."

I'm still not remembering any more of the scene. But Clark was definitely in his Superman role when he said the line.

Thanks for trying, Virginia.

You're welcome. I checked out some of the scripts I thought it might be, where Lois was threatened, but I couldn't find it either. Oh, wait, is it... No, not WoS, Ordinary People, Through a glass Darkly, Tempus Fugitive, Voice from the Past, AKA Superman, Meet John Doe, or GGGoH. I know the one you're talking about. It's like on the tip of my tongue. ARgh! With our luck, it's going to end up being one of those time when the script and the actual dialogue don't match.

That's definitely from the Joe Doe episodes, possibly even just before Clark gets unstuck in time or likely an an alternate take on the quoted part from the script. Apparently a last minute addition.

Superman has Dillinger standing on the edge of the roof, thirty stories above the street.


SUPERMAN

One more time. Where's Capone?


DILLINGER

Hey, who you kidding. I know you good guys never hurt nobody.


SUPERMAN

That was before you killed Clark Kent. He was a very good friend of mine.


DILLINGER

Oh? I... I didn't know you two were so close.


SUPERMAN

Two people can't get any closer. Where's Capone?


DILLINGER

I uh... don't remember.


SUPERMAN

Well, maybe it will come to you on the way down.


He shoves Dillinger off the roof.

Dillinger SCREAMS as he plummets towards the sidewalk.

His scream is cut short when Superman CATCHES him, inches from oblivion.


SUPERMAN

I have been known to miss on occasion.

#101a - Stories to tell to each other, that is, because you'll not going to be able to share them with anyone else, except perhaps your pyscho therapist who doesn't believe you (or Clark) anyway.
