In an attempt to keep Perry's character real, I've started a list of phrases he says which are uniquely Perry. (My problem is that I get sucked into the show when I'm watching and often forget to write them down). I'm looking for phrases only used on LnC and not in any other Superman canon. I've selfishly decided to share them with you, in the hopes others will add to this list because I know there are more out there: 1. Judas Priest! 2. Great shades of Elvis! 3. What in Sam Hill is going on here? 4. Did you ever try to milk a steer? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

5. What are you all standing around for? This is a newsroom not ... (happy hour at the Holiday Inn/Buckingham Palace/etc)

Lois: "You put up with me for the same reason I put up with you. It's because I'm completely in love with you."
Clark: "And I love you ... Did we just make up?"
Lois: "I think so."

6. I'm not the editor of a major newspaper because I can yodel.
7. Honey, there'll always be another headless corpse. Love comes maybe once.
These obviously aren't catch phrases, but they are definitely uniquely (L&C;s version of) Perry.
Joy,
Lynn

8. This is the Daily Planet, not the Wehauken Gazette.
9. Son, if you want to know about women, you better listen to the Cornel.
10. Hell of a way to run a railroad.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Clark: "Lois, you know, I really hope someday that you learn, that sometimes what it seems like people are doing isn't what they're really doing."
Lois: "What are you, a fortune cookie?"

I'd say that anything with Elvis, Priscilla and/or the Colonel will do.  Just make them up as you go.

"If it talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, tastes good with plum sauce" (Lois uses the duck analogy, but not the plum sauce bit. Interestingly they are both wrong. Lois saying SM is human, Perry saying that the child in "Chip Off the Old Clark" is SM's).

When Lois uses the "duck" analogy in Strange Visitor, she's not saying SM is human, but that he's clearly *not* from Earth. It's during her conversation with Trask and in response to her inquiry of whether SM was from outer space.
