Oh my, so many good ones but I think the final one when Clark says he’s feeling invisible with Lois giving all her attention to Superman.
LOIS (after Cat kisses Clark on the lips): What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?
LOIS (about a bordello): Aren’t those also known as Cat houses?
LOIS (because of the attention Superman gets): I’m worried he’ll forget about me.
LOIS: He’s a taco short of a combo
LOIS (to Cat): Couldn’t you afford a whole dress?
LOIS (to Clark at the high society event): What are you doing here? Barn dance let out early?
LOIS: Danger is my business.
CLARK: It must be tough being right all the time. LOIS: Yes, it is.
LOIS (to Clark): We have Superman in common, you want to fly like him, I want to fly with him.
CLARK (about himself, in response to Lois ignoring him): Yes, there is an invisible man.
SUPERMAN (to Lois): You don’t need to bid for my attention. You will always be special to me. You’re the first person who interviewed me.
CAT: Lois made a joke.

Plot Bunny:
Around 2012, Michio Kaku demonstrated meta materials that bend light around an object. This would actually work for the invisibility suits. Well, work better than the reverse-fluorescent light.
