Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman1993

Clark Kent:
Why wouldn't the Chief want us to tell Jimmy that he said that?

Lois Lane:
It's one of those father/son things.

Clark Kent:
Oh, really?

Lois Lane:
Sure, it's classic. Men are uncomfortable expressing their emotions directly. It's just like the father/daughter thing, only, when you finally do talk, you use more sports metaphors.

Clark Kent:
Ha, that's ridiculous.

[Perry sticks his head out of his office]

Perry White:
Clark, if Jimmy calls, tell him I know it feels like the bottom of the ninth with two outs and two strikes against him but that the Planet is gonna mount a full-court press, and we won't stop until it's game, set, match, Olsen.
