Here's the bit from The Phoenix. This was from the script, and since they aren't always exactly the same as the show Jimmy very well may have said Wow during this conversation.
JIMMY Hey, guess what. The bomb squad's (X) headquarters was robbed while they were defusing you. Took some plastic explosives and a remote control triggering mechanism.
The news disappoints Perry. He finally stops checking the office.
PERRY So I was some kind of diversion?
JIMMY Kinda cheapens it somehow, doesn't it?
Lois and Clark exchange a look. They speak at the same time
LOIS: I'll take Bender, you take the bomb squad.
CLARK: You take Bender, I'll take the bomb squad.
JIMMY (as they exit) I think that's the first time they've ever agreed on anything.
PERRY A budding romance will do that to you.
JIMMY Wha... How did _you_ know?
PERRY Son, I'm not the editor of a major newspaper because I can yodel.
