A Fish Story (1999)

David Kaufman: Jimmy Olsen

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : Something stinks here, Jimmy, and it's not just the fish.

  Jimmy Olsen : He did seem kind of nervous.

  Lois Lane : [spotting Lex's limousine]  And I think I know why.

• Doctor Cardy : Animal behavior is very complex, Ms. Lane. During mating season, for example, they exhibit all manner of bizarre behavior.

  Lois Lane : Since when is attacking ships a mating ritual?

  Doctor Cardy : The whales who attacked you were probably protecting a calf or an expectant mother. But taken in context of the marine world, there's really nothing unusual going on.

  Jimmy Olsen : [taking pictures]  Yeah, right.

  Lois Lane : Are you really saying...

  Doctor Cardy : [his beeper goes off]  I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me. No rest for the wicked.

• Jimmy Olsen : How did Clark manage to miss out on this?

  Lois Lane : Smallville's got a problem with seasickness. Says the only waves he can stand are "amber waves of grain."

  Jimmy Olsen : [taking pictures]  Whoa, awesome!

  [a fish leaps at him and knocks his camera out of his hands] 

  Jimmy Olsen : Ow!

  [as he tries to retrieve it, a turtle grabs it, snapping at his hand] 

  Jimmy Olsen : Ah!

  Lois Lane : You got the camera?

  Jimmy Olsen : I'm lucky I got my fingers.

• Bibbo : 40 years at sea, I ain't never seen whales act like this before.

  Lois Lane : Bibbo, you have to radio for help.

  Bibbo : [glancing up at the broken antenna]  No can do, Ms. Lane.

  Lois Lane : If we don't do something, we're fish bait.

  Jimmy Olsen : [activating his signal watch]  Maybe not.

• Jimmy Olsen : Where the heck are you? I still can't find a parking space.

  Lois Lane : [having discovered Aquaman in a containment tank]  You may have to cruise a little longer.

  Jimmy Olsen : But I've only got a learner's permit. I'm not supposed to be driving alone.

  Lois Lane : Hang in there, kid. I may have stumbled onto the story of the decade.

  Doctor Cardy : Why so modest? Why not the century?

• Jimmy Olsen : Clark, has Lois called in?

  Clark Kent : Nope. Why don't you try her car phone?

  Jimmy Olsen : Because it's in her car, and her car is kind of... in the shop.

  Clark Kent : What?

  Jimmy Olsen : It's not my fault. I told her I wasn't supposed to be driving, but I couldn't find a space, and this guy kept honking and honking, and then the truck came out of nowhere...

  Clark Kent : Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jimmy. Slow down. What are you talking about?

  Jimmy Olsen : I can't find Lois.
