A Fish Story (1999)

Stuart Pankin: Doctor Cardy

Quotes 

• 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 : 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?

• Lex Luthor : These attacks are out of control, Cardy. Even the men in my shipyards are expressing concern.

  Doctor Cardy : I know. Two of my most experienced trainers have been injured. Countless near-misses. I may have to shut down the whole park.

  Lex Luthor : We both know what's causing this.

  Doctor Cardy : Yes, but what can I do?

  Lex Luthor : Remove the problem. Take it further inland, away from the water. Use my security people if need be.

  [eavesdropping, Lois hurries to find a place to hide] 

  Lex Luthor : I leave it to you to make the arrangements.

• Doctor Cardy : What was I supposed to do? I had to take her.

  Lex Luthor : Idiot! Having Lois Lane is an open invitation for Superman to stick his nose into your business. Get rid of them both. Now.

  Doctor Cardy : But I was hoping to observe the creature in captivity.

  Lex Luthor : You're the one who's going to be in captivity unless you do what I say.
