Lois, I have loved you from the moment I saw you. I love your humor, your passion, the way you just dive right in, even when you shouldn’t. Because you refuse to just watch the world. You demand that it be a better place, and, because of you, it is. And, today, I want to give you as much of the world as I can. So, I give you my heart, my soul, our future.
Clark, you’re my best friend. Until I met you, I never had a best friend. And falling in love with you has been so easy, I don’t know why I fought it so long. You have such gentle grace and such quiet strength and mostly such incredible kindness. I’ve never known anyone with as pure a heart, and, so, today, I give you my love, and my honor and our life together.
You are Superman, aren’t you? Lois, look, we’ve been through these hallucinations of yours before. Can’t you see what you almost did? Throwing yourself off a building 30 stories high? Can’t you see what a tragic mistake you almost made? I made a mistake? I made a mistake because I risked my life instead of yours. Lois! Don’t be insane! And don’t fall down ‘cause you’re just going to have to get up again! Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006)
This scene features one of the best things about Chris Reeve’s portrayal, which is that he physicalized his different choices between playing Clark and Superman. Like, look at the difference:
He could go from Rick Moranis to Chris Evans with just his posture. It’s like his glasses are weighing his entire body down. Here it is, in motion:
Acting.
Lois says, “with a blank?” and Clark’s FUCKIGN FACE OMG. That is the face of a man whose only thought is “motherfucker.”
He should have known that Lois would be thorough and wouldn’t do that if she was only a little sure and he should have known that Lois wouldn’t point a gun at Clark. BLANKS. HE KNOWS SHE’S THIS SMART. FFS, CLARK. Both of them are thinking “damn son you been played” and it’s beautiful
Lois, do you have any idea what would happen if this information became public knowledge? Everyone would want superpowers. Everyone would think that they deserved superpowers.
